T. St John Gaffney. who was asked
TO quit his post as United States con-
sui general in Mulich, because OF com
plants that his attitude on the war
was unbecoming to a neutral represen-
tativc, is expected in Washington TO
demand an explanation OF the treatment
accorded him.

Ceived no notification from Gaffney of
his intention to come to Washington.

who has in his possession all the rec
ords in the case on which the depart
ment acted in asking Gaffney to resign.
II Gaffney has evidence. as he has
said. which will disprove the charges
that impelled the Administration to re-
quest his resignation. State Department
officials said they would receive II.
But 1t was strongly intimated that the
department considers the Gaffney AFFAIR
as q closed incident and is not inclined
10 reopen II unless Mr.. Gaffney Is pre-
pared to show that all the evidence on
which the action was based is worth

PHOTOPLAYS AND
Il. PHOTOPLAYERS
Bv GARDNER MACK
Actress Regards The
Photoplay As Ne7O
Type of School of
Acting.
By GARDNER MACK.

The motion picture viewed as
school OF acting gives a new angle
from which to Judge the value OF
tho newest of the arts of express
sion, and yet there are several
actors and actresses who have real
ambition and who never had the OBJ
portunit;; to get the experience that
comes in taking variety of parts
until they entered the motion pic
ture field. This relates particularly
to those actors and actresses of III
xolligence who were seized when put
. few weeks or months on the stage
and thrown into parts requiring Just
their personal type In which they
made hits and from which they have
never been able to entirely escape.
Such people have not had the es-
perience in stagcraft that qualines
them for real advance IN their pro-
fession and cannot obtain tex
cept in motion pictures.
One OF the actresses who regards
herself as belonging to this class
and who regards the motion picture
as great boon Is Gladys Hanson,
important stage productions and has
lately become a motion picture star
with the Universal company. Miss
Hanson Is genuinely glad to get into
photoplays.
II am grateful for all the advics
seeing managers 1t has been my
good fortune to play for" Miss
Hanson explains. but in spite or 1t
All. their very Kindness has been
the cause OF my personal preference

the managers all made me play So
ciety women. women who wLS"
tentation. They all said | looked

Identified with that kind of roles.
My public expected to see me In
such parts and they went to the
theater and spent their money to
grand lady. They probably were
right. They were all wise and sue
cessful men. men who knew tine
theatrical business. And | know
that they were convinced that they
we're doing the best thing possible
for me.
You see. II ha1 nad the training
or the stock stage, or even of a good
dramatic school, would have nad
some of this experience felt ! so
truly needed. But never had any
thing like that. Three weeks after
| went on the statec | was playing
leads. and all because looked the
part and could play It naturally.
Most girls would be thankful for
that. and I am in n way. NV life
would have been much harder with
out that start But my versatility

pock"tbook. end | honestly prefer
