Pauline Frederick Is
SPLENDID In Dual Role

Pauline Frederick, one of the
most beautiful actresses in Amer
lea, has a dual role in 1.-The Spid-
err" her latest success, which
opened at the Colonial theater to-
day. She has the part of Valerie
st. Cyr and OF her deserted
daughter, Joan.
AS Valerie st. Cyr, the Paris
ian beauty and famous attraction
of the music halls, Miss Freder-
ick appears as campfire, but as
her own daughter, the clean
minded and pure-souled Jean,
she is compelled to register an
other sort of feeling entirely.
These two characters are shown
nearly alternately throughout
the production. The results are

who also put Arizona" on the

OF the greatest photo dramas Of

Checkers was bank clerk
who fell into bad company, lost
his money at the game table,
and, ashamed of himself, disap-

His career as race track tout,

the most powerful stories ever
presented on the stage.

In a photoplay the actor mere
ly makes motions. Everything is
indicated by the players move
ments. This is pantomime.
And this pantomimic express
sion must reflect an intelligence
that will grip the audience. Emo
lions must be telegraphcd
through the eye to the brain.
The audience must HEAR your
story with the eyes.
The limitations of the photo
play make motion picture acting
the most difficult art in the
world. The player on the stage
has a big advantage over the
film actor in that he can thrill mis-
audience with his voice, while the
player on the screen can only
make motions-wiggle his hands,
feet. body, eyes and mouth.
These wiggles must be so ex-
pressive that they actually talk.
They must seem natural; they
must conduct thought, plot and
theme with the directness of a
high tension wire carrying cur
rent. These wiggles are the
screen artists only means of con-
|Nersation.
Every portion of the human
form is called upon in making
the body talk. Perfect unison of
body makes for perfect panto-
mime. However, there are times
when one portion of the anatomy
will so overshadow all other
parts that they seem to have no
function in registering an emo
ton. ~
Take the work of the head.
When sorrow, pain or grief are
expressed, the audiences atten-
ton is almost unfailingly direct
ed to the face, especially If the
player is in tears. Yet, every
other portion of the body has
done its part in directing the Wis
ion to the face. That indicates
mastery of pantomime.
Sensitivoness is best expressed
with the nose. Delicate nostrils
always convey refinement. Con-
tempt cannot be more fifty indi-
Gated than by rumpling the nose.
Few players have made a special
study of the ears, but those who
have and can control them, get
startling results.
The neck is effectively used by
some players. AS it is held, diff
ferent suggestions are conveyed.
However, most people use it ma
turally, which means limitedly.
But the screen player who
must make every little movement
truly have meaning of it's own,
studies all parts of the body with
the idea of making each effective
in lieu of words when he essays
to tell a story with film.

Billy Murray work out at the Ia

Murray's cleverness has not
been exaggerated. He is not only
quick, scientific and speedy, but
he has a world of strength. He
looks far better than Joe Bonds,
and for that reason it is believed
that Frank Farmer will have a
hard time holding his own when
he meets the Spanish lad Monday

of them Keeling.
