my awkwardness in that film was ap-

Moving picture acting is an entirely
new mode Of expression. 1t is talk
without words. There is not human
emotion that cannot be depicted on
the screen. In getting these over
the whole body is brought into play.
There Is no portion of the human form
that does not have its work to do.
Unity of the body as q whole Is
just as essential to successful panto-
mimic expression as Is the support Of
a cast to the star In successful play.
In expressing emotions with the
body, the torso plays the most In
portaut part. Hate, fear, passion are
shown to great advantage with the
torso. In fact, the torso is used for
portraying every emotion. The hand,
the head, the eye-no portion OF the
body can assume given position un.

support this attitude OF hate without

Pantomime to the professional, mean

emotion by means of body movements,
without conversation.
Directors assert that this classic
form Of expression was limited to the
folk lore tales that could be interpre'
ted by such characters as Harlequin,

Incorporated IN the tentative draft
OF the national defense excursion bill
which the House Military Affairs com.
mtttee has agreed upon. The Sen.
ate committee, 1t Is known, also Is
favorable to incorporating these two
IDEAS into the army bill.
These particular features of the
army measure concern directly the
possibilities OF military training the
high schools Of Pittsburgh and other
cities. 1t is simply making national
in scope where cities desire to put IN
the military training the plan toliow-
cd by the Washington schools.
Students in the Washington schools,
unless the parents send written objec-
ton to the principal, are organized
into regular cadets companies. They
elect their own officers and go through
a systematic military training under
competent instructors. Most OF work
for the first two years is largely gym
nastics. teaching the high school boys
how to carry themselves, how to build
up their bodies and the rudiments Of
drill. AS they progress the training
goes into tsS ~ '''nR OF a gun and
how to care for S1ALs- AySientc-
ally. The pupils like the work. Parent
al objection to the plan is uncommon.
Representative D. r. Anthony Of
Kansas, who was instrumental in get
ting the committee TO adopt these two
phases into the army bill, said today
he regarded these cadet companies
and the summer training camps as
valuable adjuncts to the private In
situations, regular army and militia.
"In the army bill we do not provide
for the regulation whereby cadet COM
panies may be established tand OBJ
tain regular army officers as instruc-
tors" Mr.. Anthony said. THE bill
makes a specific appropriation for
eauipment and instructors for this
purpose and directs the Secretary of
Warto draw up certain specific. regu-
lations and requirements and stand
ards that must be met. When these
standards are met, the government

the harmonIzing support of the torso
would be laughable. OF course, in as.
Stunning these pastures, the action of
head, hand, foot and torso all seem to
be Simultaneous.
The difficult thing in pantomime Is
to assume any attitude sufficiently ex-
aggerated to make the audience hear
it and yet make the position appear
natural. Assume posture registering
dignity, for instance, "Sir, how dare
you!" attitude and make the lines OF
the pose please the eye and yet con.
yey to the ear of audience the sound
Of the lady's rebuke. That is panto.
mime.
Dignity and pride, as well as tri.
.umph are primarily expressed by the
torso. The erect position unfailtngly
gives such impressions. BY drawing
the body up to its full height, elation
Is brought out. The opposite, shown
by letting the body sag, voices defeat.
The finer shades Of expression are
brought out by the arms, hands and
eyes. But the bald, bold points are
made by the trained player with the
body proper.

INCREASE IN PRICE
NOW NECESSARY
Department of Journalism of Kansas
University Says Newspapers Must
Increase Prices

Incl ease Prices.
LAWRENCE. Kan, June 22-After
thorough in vestgatiOn and canvass
of the newspaper situation the de-
partment of Journalism of the Kansas
university has issued the following
bulletin:
THE newspapers Of the United
States today face a situation unpar-
alleled in the history of the press OF
this country. The public has felt
the effect Of the European war in
purchasing commodities, and it is
about to feel its effect upon the price
or newspapers. 1t is now up to- the
newspapers to tell their readers and
advertisers why an increase in price
is necessary. In other words, the
press faces an educational campaign
for its own salvation.
when the average man purchases
staple article today and finds the
price has increased from 25 to 80 per
cent, he already knows or is told that
the war has brought about such a
condition. The manufacturer Of that
articles has already perhaps advertis-
ed the fact that he is compelled to in.
crease his prices. No industry is
more seriously affected by the war
than the newspapers Of this country
and yet an increase in advertising o.
circulation rates is immediatcl,
frOwned upon because the newspa
pers have failed to inform the Dubli'
to what a great extent they are 3
Cected by the war.
IF the newspapers will tell thoi'
readers and advertisers that the pricr
Of some inks has increased 400 Doi
cent: that rags. the raw material for
per-makng, is also used for the
manufacture Of high explosives and
has assembled in cost on a level with
the Eiffel Tower; that French bleach.
so necessary for the manufacture Of
paper. can hardly be had at any price.
and that a score Of other necessary
chemicals have jumped alomst out of
sight, they will find their tasks of
raising rates much easier. That all
newspapers will be compelled to take
such action is certain. Many have
already done so, and the paper at
tempting to adhere to it's old rate
basis will soon find the sheriff locking
the front door. The big paper mills
OF the country see no relief in sight
for many months, even should the
great war cease this summer, some
thing now unexpected The news
papers of this country will be com
PEELED to do what the big manufac-
t,!rcrs have already done raise their
cost Of production.'
