SANTA CLAUS'S TOY FACTORY
By Farmer Smith

Peaches and Cream seated herself on the
moss and began:
"You see, we are very busy just now In
the toy factory; Santa Claus says this Is
TO be the happiest Christmas he has ever
known and he has known a lot OF them you
may bo sure"
"rhere. knew there was Santa Claus.
always believed there was. but now /
KNOW IT," said the little girl.
Peaches and Creams eyes almost popped
out OF her head. "DO you mean to tell me
that there are some who do not believe that
there Is any Santa Claus? They should
see Cloudland and Toytown and our great
factory where thousands OF us make the toys
and. last OF ALL they should see the Jolly old
fellow himself THEN they would believe,
would they not?"
The little girl nodded.
"You sec. Santa Claus gets millions OF
lettArs every day some from this speck
where you live and
"speek?" asked the little girl In great
surprise,
Earth Is only one Of the specks we sec
from Toyland, but then Santa Claus likes
the letters he gets from you little people
down here much better than the letters he
gets from Mars Jupiter, The letters
from the little what-you-may-call- on
the Moon are awfully funny. All upside
down like"
You are Lhlhlnk ABOUT AlAll4biki4sNs
'Yes. yes. that's it--children | knew
what II was. but 1 did not know how to
pronounce that word
in our factory we make everything you
can think OF for children, but this year we
have had a lot Of trouble making things be-
cause OF the-the-I do not know what you
call II, but everybody Is shooting every
body else"
"You mean on account OF the WARP"
''Ycs, that's the word. but we never have
such things IN ClOudland. We are too busy.
No one who Is busy has time 20 fight: be-
sides we all live In harmony. one OF the
reasons | am here Is 10 ask you about cur
talking doll Santa Claus Is not quite
clear whether the doll he is going 10 make
should be made TO say mother or mama
and so no asked me to come down TO the
earth and ask you. or some little girl, which
It should be, and can you tell me?'
II think It would be easier for the doll TO
say mamma even babies can say that, !"
answered the little girl.
THANK you, shall tell santa Claus about
you he may send you one OF the dolls. II
you write him letter. Never fear, he
reads them all"
The little girl stopped down 10 pick up
her roses and when she looked for Peaches
and Cream that little lady had gone
vanished. She had found out what she
wanted 10 know and gone back to tell Santa
Claus, for the jolly old fellow was In a
hurry, and even at that very minute he was
peelSlng out Of his window to see II Peaches
and Cream was anywhere TO hP seen.

under similar treatment. The buyer
will never have occasion to be anything
but proud of any one or all of this litter.

fession or the movies, have achieved q
value unprecedented In the history of
mankind. Mere looks have become COM
mercially worth hundreds OF thousands
OF dollars. A new asset has been placed
upon beauty. yet If she lived today Cleo
patra, l fear, could not act successfully
In the movies. For Cleopatra, at the
age she won Anthony, would really be too
old-moreoVer, her charm, according to
historians, was to a great degree In her
Wit and intellect. Nnon de l'Enclos, the
most famed beauty of the French court,
who remained youthful In appearance to
ripe old age, would, | am sure. be a
fiat failure-for she would actually lack
youth. and while you can fool men by
the art of the toilet, you cannot fool the
camera. The llm does not lie.
Some of our greatest actresses who
went into the movies proved rank fail
ures before the movie audience. Why?
Iney can act, you say. Certainly they
can act; they can even appear young
before the footlights; but on the screen
every crows foot about the eyes, every
line OF the face shows. Bernhard to-
day may still charm as Juliette or Tosca
on the stage, but on the screen she is
inevitably q slxty-year-eld-J uliette--and
Jnliette at sixty does not appeal to the
mass Of Romeos who fill our moving
picture houses.
To attain the fame and art which
Bernhardt did in the drama, years OF labor
and study were required, and the divine
Sarah's success came only at an age when
the movie stars value ceases There
can be no Bernhard OF the movies BY
the time movie actress would attain
Bernhardt's experience and art, she
would begin to register the passing of
youth. The art of acting, In the great
sense that Bernhard and Duse acted,
Is impossible in the movies.

Success Is not in how the star conceives
part, but in how she expresses 1t to
the camera. It's not what's In her head,
but what she photographs. She Is often
an antomaton rejecting the conception
OF the director. He actually does the
acting and uses the necessary brains in
telling the star just what to do II
girl looks the part and obeys her direc-
tor, although she has no more intelli-
gence than a six-year-old, she may
possibly earn a salary equal to the sala-
ries OF all the American ambassadors
to the great world courts.
If, however, combined with supremely
good looks q movie star does have brains,
Ii she can interject understanding into
her role, il she can feel intellectual emo
ton, FER value become all the greater.
This is the case with the brightest stars
In the movie world. The success of such
young women as Mary Pickford and Jean
Sothern is due to this unusual combina-
ton. But this combination is not uni
versal. Brains can be faxed; emotions
can be mimicked. But youthful beauty
cannot be faked--on the screen II is the
one real thing and the supereminently
necessary thing for the movie drama to
get over
In the case of Jean sothern, who is
playing the leading role in The Mys-
teries Of Myra," I recognized the com
bined qualities of beauty and brains when
/ first saw her. Miss Sothern had a
friend who knew someone who acted
in one of my productions, and came one
day with this friend to the studio to see
us put on scene. She watched the
; acting fascinated. and as she was GO
Ing away began spontaneously initiating
the leading woman In the big scene. 1t
was marvelous-she surpassed the lead
ing woman.
