But from the beginning Of my ex-
perience in the playing Of these roles,
I have entertained altogether different
views. I hold that the woman who dis
plays herself brazenly 10 men may mo-
mentarily attract attention, but will
lose it as quickly. The siren who
knows her game does not reveal-she
suggests. She wears as much clothing
as any other woman on the stage, but
she wears it differently.
And so I have dressed for every part
I have played. I think I may truly say.
without having once appeared in an
immodest gown. In the various Tri-
angle-Ince productions in which I have
appeared. have played dance hall girls,
women OF the gay white way and 81
rens Of the half world. who cling to q
semi-respectability with one hand while
they reach for their prey with the 9TH
er. In no Characterization have 1
found it at all necessary TO resort TO an
extreme display OF shoulders or TO in
decorously clinging attire. in order TO
convey TO the audience the fact that
am attracting men through physical
lure.
Take, for instance, the devil gown"
one Of the dozen 1 designed for The
Wolf Woman" It covers me all up.
from ankles 10 wrists. and leaves just
my face peering out from its enveiop-
ing hood Why may such a gown be
truthfuIly represented as alluring 70
mca? Because IL is so different from

what any other woman wears, 20 odd
and fascinating in its very concealment.
THE Serpent" a single scarf OF
shaded crepe de chine caught up on the
head and wound the whole way down
the figure, reveals only an arm and q
modest display Of shoulder. Yet I hold
that it stamps the wearer as a siren
who knows her business. And so with
the peacock Dress. Men have not pro-
crossed so far in the codes Of civiliza-
ton that there is not still a strong
strain OF the barbaric in most of them,
and it responds to the bizarre in wom-
ems attire. A woman who wears
headdress, train and fan Of peacock
feathers will catch any mans attention
That gives the siren her chance-and
that's all any accomplished siren
should require.
I have been told that a dress called
the spider gown made people gasp
Yet il is not in the least immodest. In
fact. it is cut quite high in the neck
But because it is slashed across the
front diagonally the black velvet being
contrasted with white silk overlaid
with a net spider web and a spider, It
has caused some startled comment I
bold that this is simply because it is
unusual, and not because it is indeco-
rous-
I have one very strong reason for
dressing these vampire" roles as do
without impropriety-and that is
that I do not wish to render either the
parts play or my own individuality
repeIIent TO women patrons Of Triangle
pictures
II there is one form OF amusement
above all others which is dependent on
the good viii OF women 1t is the nov
ing picture. Women do not want to
see pictures on the screen which they
would not want displayed in their own
homes. They do not want their chill
dren learning in film theatres things
that are not allowed 10 reach them in
books or through other avenues. And
so 1 want every Characterization
make to be one to which no woman
who sees it can object
In this I believe am succeeding. and
it is a source Of much pleasure to me
to think that this is so.

GERALDINE FARRAR ENTHU-
SIASTIC OVER JOAN OF ARC

Tanned by the California sun and
locking the picture OF good health and
vivacity. Miss Geraldine Farrar has re-
turned TO New York from Hollywood
enthusiastic about loan and OF the be-
lief that as a motion picture drama
and spectacle Mr.. De1fille's latest pro-
duction viii rival or surpass anything
that has heretofore been seen on the
screen
PrOabbly no theme OF which woman
is the central figure in all the worlds
history is SO well known or universally
loved as the story OF Joan OF Arc. the
French peasant girl who aroused a
sleeping nation to a frenzy Of patriot
ism and won lasting freedom for
France from the yoke Of English rule
The scenario was written by Jeanis
Macpherson

triumphs and disappointments 50 re-
Gently as six days ago" said Miss Far
rar, I can scarcely express the belief
that is firm in my heart that this Dro-
duction viii really be looked upon as
something more than a motion picture
rather in the hght OF a PHOTOGRAPHIC
reproduction of one OF the greatest
eV onts in the history OF the world. No
woman has ever lived who in the snar
OF few short years exerted such an
influence and created such a lasting i'm

To DRAMATIC Riley Poem
Possibly the most interesting prOduc-
ton promised for the near future IS that
of Robert McLaughlins dramatization
of the much loved James Whiteomb
Riley poem, An Old Sweetheart Of
Mine" Much IS expected Of this play
back to the producing field in New York
that most able director, Ralph Emerson
Cummings. who has been too long absent
from this field of work
The great optimism surrounding the
production OF the WhitcOmb Riley play
seems TO come, when analyzed, through
Ralph Cummings record, for he has the
reputation of being one of the best
-'pickers' in the business. His no Is
a potent work in managerial Offices
which also shows that he seems to know
which plays to leave alone.
When Cummings was director for the
Shuberts he was asked TO look into the
value of Search Me" a new play by the
author of Officer &C.,
Don't put 1t on he said at once.
1t won't 90
And under no circumstances would he
put It on. Another director was put III
charge. Search Me" was presented at
the Astor theater, and ran for lust one
week
So with Apartment Il X" Cum
mings demanded that certain decided
changes be made in the play before it
was presented, but the author hid him
self during the weeks before the open

duced-and lasted one week.

Homemade Drama for America.
ssThe moral is that homemade drama
for America Is one of the important out
comes of the European war. The woes
of England and France are the golden
opportunity for our writers here. There
Is no reason why our present interest In
plays about our own life, written by
men and women who understand our life,
should not continue
"There Is drama enough IN American
life We are richer in the stuff of which
plots are made than any country on the
globe Take the wonderful mobile quail
tiles OF our demOcracy-the romance of
the poor young man Of today, who is a
millionaire of tomorrow, of the great adj
venture in place and power that awaits
any bOy or girl in this land who has the
innate genius for success. We are even
growing rich in historic background, we
are alive enough in dramatic instinct, we
are quick enough in our humor and vital
enough In our tragedy.
"0nly lately we have begun to find
out these things. It was not so very
long ago that the late Charles Frohman
said to me: we managers are only
middlemen- We buy the American
rights 70 foreign productions and pay
for transportation and adoption. and at
the same time we have all the prestige
Of their foreign success.

THE PEACOCK DRESS

Dressing for a vampire part is not so
simple a matter as some people may
suppose it to be.
In view Of some exhibitions which
have been seen on the screen, it must
be evident that there are actresses who
regard it more as a matter Of undress-
ing than Of dressing. This course does
indeed simplify matters. as it requires
no particular. art to get rid Of certain
amount OF clothing.

ANY of the foremost artists of
MI the stage have found it impOs-
sible to present polite comedy
upon the screen with any degree Of
success. but Max Figman and Lolita
Robertson fairly romp through their
parts Both are gifted pantomimists,
and through their excellent work in
this ancient art they supply expression
taking the place OF the spoken word.
Mr.. Figman has been for many years
one Of the leading figures on the
American stage. He has appeared in
scores Of notable Broadway prOduc-
lions. Since his advent into the realm
Of the silent drama perhaps his great
est success was the lead in the Get
