Palace.

Endowed with a wonderful physique
and glowing complexion and possess
ing an active. passionate love for
outdoor life, Virginia Pearson, the
William Fox film beauty, appearing
in the drama, Blazing Love" which
is shown al the Palace today, has
al the very outset the most import
ant requisites for beauty, but she
takes no chances. Unlike most ac-
tresses, she requires little or no
makeup when before the camera and
no makeup at all when off the stage.
She is violently opposed to rouges
and the makeshift colorings and
beauty trickeries which doubtless
contributed to the picture that Rud-
yard Kipling had in mind when he
described his poetic hank of hair"
Much has been written Of realism
in moving pictures-real scenery,
real liquid TO drink from a teacup
or bottle, everything as genuine as
it can be made so as to make the
actor really feel his part In this,
it is a well known fact, does the
motion picture play outstep all real
ity of the stage.
But il has been left to Kenean
Buel, who directed Blazing Love" "
to originate probably the most real
istic sensation. In that thrilling
problem-drama two OF the actors
were supposed to be starving, they
having been lost in the Arctic re.
gions with no food Director Ruel
insisted that this section be enacted
late in the afternoon. Both actors
had eaten a light breakfast of cof.
fee and toast.
The director then forbade them
from eating bite OF dinner, so BY
the time the starvation section of the
film was acted the two explorers
really were hungry, probably under
going all Of the tortures which one
would feel after several days of
starvation. And they showed it in
the film, too.

tiOnB in skagway is the Womans Church Auxiliary of the Methodist Church. Their past industry, and future confidence in Skagway and the permanence of church work here may be indicated by the fact they have purchased the two lots lying immediately west of the city hall, paying the purchase price in full. IL is their plan to place on the property in time a comfortable ministerial residence, thus making it easier than otherwise to secure pull pit supply. Bishop Luccock, who visiteF skagWay last summer, prom ised his aid to secure financial help from the church toward erection oF the residence The size of the property is sufficient for suitable garden and yard in addition to building space,
