PHOTOPLAYS AND.
PHOTOPLAYERS
Rv GARDNER MACK.
Fashionable Clio theS
Important Part Of
a Film Actress
Equipment
BY GARDNER MACK.

Actresses in motion pictures are
realizing the necessity for uelng bet
ter and more costumes in the pro-
duction OF photoplays. The fact
that motion pictures are becoming
almost as important from the stand
point Of fashion displays for tho
women patrons as the stage has been
in the past has called attention to
the fact that many OF the photoplays
that have been gwen the best pat
ronagc have been those in which the
leading women appeared in the best
costumes. At least this holds good
with regard to the women patrons.
FRITZ Brunette. who was one OF
the pioneer actresses in the photo
play field. is a firm advocate of bet
ter dressing for motion picture ac-
tresses She believes that the clothes
very frequently make the popular
ity Of the actress and she practices
what she breaches. She is at pres
ent connected with the Selig COM
pany and has been cast for many
important parts In society dramas.
Dressing the parts correctly. FASH
ionably, contributes to n more sue
cessful production In every respect"
declares Miss Brunette.
I'm a forthcoming Sb!ig produc-
ton wear seventeen different
gowns. The play is an unusual one
in which a stenographer inheritinS
tho love OF finery, sacrifices all for
nlodish dress and for luxurious liv-
ing. The character gravltates from
a modest home into a luxurious en-
virohment, and new gowns have pn
effect upon her character AS would
new wine on other parsonali littes
I'm order to play the part as II
should be played, I ordcFed a num-
Der OF the latest gowns, and made
lnuny elaborate changes during the
presentation of the picture play.
The time has. arrived when the
motion picture actress must dress
the part in every meaning of tho
term. One or two modish gowns will
net do as was once the case for,
after all. the women must be pleased,
for they are one of the mainstays Of
the film industry. ! have found
that even the most expensive gowns
must be altered from time to time.
If an actress wears one gown too
frequently. sharp feminine eyes dis
cover this fact, and feminine pens do
not hesitate in writing to the lllin
manufacturers and the Aim actresses
and make comment.
Dressing the part Is an expcn-
sive proposition to most movie -ac-
tresses. hut elaborate wardrobes are
essential II the actress and the III I'm
company are to retain popularity.

RURAL CHURCHES
CALLED inefficient
Speakers At National Confer
enCe Say Country Preachers
Are Underpald.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Dec. 9. 9.--speakers
before the national conference OF the
Commission on Church and Country
life here agreed that rural churches are
too numerous and consequently in
efficient, that their membership Is
too small that country preachers are
underpaid and their energies divided
among too many charges.
'The church Of tomorrow Will be a
community rather than a sectariap in
stitutioh.', :, said the Rev. Alva w Tay-
lor. Of Columbia. Mo. 1.-THE daY Of em-
phasis upon creedal distinctions is past.
Tho neighborhood division of religious
interests keeps all the churches weak
and Injuries religion. The church which
most adequately ministers to its whole
neighborhood will thrive best in the
rural communities OF the future.
'"rhe average community has from
three to seven churches within O radius
Of four miles from any given center.
-Four miles Is an easy wagon drive and
II! every family were that far from a
church the distance would not be too
great, Duplication of churches In one
community prevents any of the conRre-
cations from thriving. and the small
church grows with much greater diff
Guilty than the larger one. Once q
month service by an absentee pastor
leaves the church without leadership or
continuity Of interest"
The principal purpose Of the rural
church IL to stimulate community spirit
among farmers and consequently the
church reform movement means definite
increase In material prosperity. accord
ing to the Rev. r. A. Hutchison. promi-
nent civic worker of Pittsburgh. and
secretary OF the home mission board OF
the United Presbyterian church.
The chief end of the country church
is not raising of crops and fiocks" he
said. ''It Is the production OF men
marked for their personal character,
and the development Of community
civic Righteousness"
Miss Jessie Field. Of New York. known
the country over as The Corn Lady,
explained that prosperous Y. w. c. A.
ORGANIZATIONS in rural district would
provide means Of making girls and
women more useful to the community.
The Rev. Hubert G. Herring. of Bos-
ton, secretary of the national council
Of Conversational churches. said: THE
country church suffers from lack OF
the cooperative spirit. 1t is never easy
to get the community to work together
There are many feuds and factions. The
sectarian spirit causes some families to
attend church outside the parish. but a
real get-toGether movement among
churches will remedy this condition"

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About Kidney
Troubles.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are do
ing their work properly. the other or
gans cannot readily be brought back
to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form Of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913. in the state Of New
York alone. Therefore, 1t behooves
us to pay more attention to the health
of these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence Of
this preparation. in most cases, is soon
realized according to sworn state
ments and verified testimony Of those
who have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
quire attention. and wish sample
