at the camera" shouted the director,
and, realizing that he was speaking to
her, she started violently and turned
her eyes toward him.
He waved his hand to stop the
turning of the machine. "We will
have to do this over because the
young lady looked into the camera"
The girl could hardly keep the
tears from her eyes. 81 am sorry"
she apologized, but again he waved
her aside, seeing that she sat in the
background on her second trial.
This evidently piqued her, and, like
all beginners, she was eager to see
herself upon the screen. She craned
her face forward in an unnatural
manner, a thing that always antago-
nizes director.
That afternoon there was a big
dramatic scene and she was among
twenty-five extra people. She was SO
pretty the director gave her another
chance to stand we'll in the fore
ground.
There was a very intense dramatic
scene between the leading man, the
heavy" (Which is the villain) and the
leading woman. 1t was an episode
that called for exhaustive acting;
what the extra people had to do was
to rush forward and register horror.
All went we'll during rehearsals, but
while the scene was being taken some
one said something to the girl which
caused her to laugh. AS the directors
eyes were upon the principals, this
was not noticed until it was shown
on the screen. Then, to their horror,
they saw that the whole scene had to
be retaken. The elaborate set which
had been torn down had to be re-
built, with the additional cost of hir-
ing all those actors for another day.
OF course, this pretty girl never
came back to the studio. How much
better if she had told the truth so the
director could have watched and guild
ed her instead of taking it for grant
ed that she would understand the first
principles of working in pictures.
They are: Obey the director, never
look into the camera, and instead of
trying to make yourself an attractive
individual, be successful spoke in
the wheel.

How to Beautify the Finger Nails.

care for them during the interval Of pro-

much that will beautify them in many

not be made an attractive addition to the
