VIII Irwin and William G. Shepherd,
both recently returned from service as
war correspondents in Europe, had
lunch the other
SOME day with number
YARNS of stay-at-home au-
thors whom they
entertained with their experiences.
Mr.. Irwin told of being with Cana
dian contingent that had just taken
some German prisoners in an early
morning action. The Canadians turned
the hose on their captives and then pro-
ceeded to give them breakfast of the
best their commissary afforded-and,
according to Irwin, the Canadians have
the most efficient food department OF
anv of the belligerents. There was ba-
con, real coffee with real sugar, bread
ndsbutter, and unlimited marmalade;
and the weary Germans Toasted greed
lily.
Among them was man who had been
a waiter in New York. He spoke Eng
lish, and presently he drew one OF his
captors aside.
"Do YOU have breakfast like this
every day." he asked.
"Oh, yes. A much better breakfast"
returned the Canadian.
Better
Eyes. indeed. This is only the stuff
we give our prisoners
The German thoughtfully heaped a
mountain Of marmalade on a hunk OF
bread. Then he cried suddenly; on
to hell with the Kaiser!
Mr.. Shepherd told this one.
He was dining one evening with some
British regimental officers. In order to
make him feel at home, they discussed
sagely what they called our "blacka-
moor problem" which, they seemed to
think, would ultimately do us IN as
nation. Apparently the officers we're
solicitous about the frequent lynchlngS
in New York, Chicago and other large
cities. One of them, who had had eX-
periences with "blackamoors IN Rho-
desia, opined that they were dangerous

ditch to play the laborer, or to tear the
driver off the seat of a coal wagon to
make movie teamster is proving dis
astrous," said one of the big movie men.
Il am sure that the actor will again take
his place in the movie. To train the raw
types costs both time and film. There
are four times as much film ruined as
used. With the actor the film saving is
great. Actors that become types may
stay, but the promiscTous type will
sooner or later fade out of the studio
life"

A Face That Was Once a LA
biIify Is Now an ASSef

The funny man type" is the scarcest.
Comedians are supposed to make up,
and they do not have to be types. where
an undershot jaw, cast in the star
board eye, a broken nose and a hall
acre upper lip was formerly regarded
as a detriment to good personality, 1t Is
often now an asset. de Gang has TO
have a leader, the train wreck is caused
by this sort of type, under the directions
of the riding-crop-carrying villain with
the inevitable cigarette. No one, by the
way, ever saw villain smoking the
manly pipe. The exaggerated tough ex-
preston stays on the types" face, and
the votaries of the Rialto are getting
used to him.
The "Siamese Twins" two tall sisters
from goodness knowS-where, and who
have never, as far as any one knows,
been screened, are running almost on
schedule time between Forty-ninth and
Thirty-frst. They are undoubtedly
types" but there is good deal of spec
ulation as to where they got the right
to be types" There is an aristocracy
among the types. They look upon climb
ers as counterfeiters. Unless they are
screen hardened they are regarded as
mere upstairs.

The Latest Type Is an Extended
Gothic Old Style

The last recruit to the ranks is
giant, said to be eight feet tall. He was
the Goliath of the foreign screens, he
was the Samson of the Biblical pictures,
he was the Atlas upon whose shoulders
the whole world rested for dozens of
reel feet. His was the tremendous arm
that stopped train, lifted battleship
and, it is said, stopped the moon in its
orbit. When he reaches for his glass
of beer in the Broadway cafes, one mar
vels that the glass is not pulverized.
Despite the foodtide of types, the
managers of the studios predict that the
tide will soon begin to flow the other
way.
