Active work with the leading celebri-
ties identified with the suffrage move
ment in New York City added another
valuable chapter to the many and varied
experiences which have come to Norma
Phillips, the talented young moving pic
ture actress appearing in the unique film,
entitled Our Mutual Girl"
Few American girls in the history Of
our country have been placed in posi-
ton where they could enjoy the society
Of so many well-known public characters
in the short space of time that this
young actress required to add TO her list
Of acquaintance the most talked Of men
and women in the world.
Her latest interesting experience be-
gan with her introduction to the noted
suffragettes, Mrs. Harriet Stanton
BIatch, Mrs. James Cooley and Mrs.
Snyder.
"Our Mutual Girl" became a warm
friend of the prominent exponent Oi
"Notes for Women lnez Milholland,
when she was introduced to Emmeine
pank hurst at the Womens Political
Union headquarters i'll New York tity
recently, and her presentation to MIS-
Batch and her friends by lnez Milhol-
land was a further proof of that brIl-
liant young woman lawyers activity fer
the cause."

Domino productions.

squaw makeup FIRST, because it is up
permost IN my mind, due to the fact that

I'm the old stage days even stock
company lending woman would play the
same line Of parts season fter season,
and although the style Of her roles
changed completely, her makeup re-
mained practically the same-what ac-
tresses call a straight makeup. of
course the character woman WAS given
ample reason to improve her art of
make-up, but even her opportunity for
character drawings was very small com
parcd with that given the usual motion
picture leading lady. e
"But the motion picture actress is CON
tinually working toward the perfect iol of
both her art Of makeup and Of acting,
with She added advantage of heing en-
ableil TO study her work carefully upon
The screen and make the most Of the
rare privilege Of seeing herself as
others see her.
