Blanche Sweet will be here week

Blanche is always sentimental and
she rareiy appears IN picture that
she does not cry. real tears They say
it takes her half an hour to cry, but
when she does, the camera-man often
waits an hour to get her cheered IN
for her next part. There are few
stars who actually feel the parts they
play as Blanche Sweet does. Blanche
calls her tears "her fortune" In pro.
viding Miss Sweet with roles of such
a widely contrasting nature, the Las
ky Company is paying her the great
compliment of exploiting not only her
art but her versatility, aiming by this
most practical method to display all
her talents and to put her before the
public not merely as the impersonator
of certain types but in the true
light of dramatic genius. Blanche has
not yet attained her twentieth year.
She is one ofeour youngest but fores
most stars.
