ACTING WITHOUT WORDS PANTOMIME ART
BY JACKIE SAUNDERS,


Famous Balboa Star.
In the photoplay the actor merely
makes motions. Everything is indi-
Gated by the players movements.
This is pantomime.
And this pantomimic expression
must reflect an intelligence that will
grip the audience Emotions must be
telegraphed through the eye to the
brain. The audience must hear your
story with the eyes.
The limitations of the photoplay
make motion picture acting the most
difficult art in the world. The player
on the stage has big advantage over
the film actor in that he can thrill his
audience with his voice, while the
player on the screen can only make
motions wiggle his hands, feet,
body, eyes and mouth. i
These wiggles must be so express
sive that they actually talk. They
must seem natural; they must con-
duct thought, plot and theme with
the directness of high tension wire
carrying current. These wiggles are
the screen artists only means of con-
Versation.
Every portion of the human form
is called upon in making the body
talk. Perfect unison of body makes
for perfect pantomime. 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 emotion.
Take the work of the head. When
sorrow, pain or grief are expressed,
the audiences attention is almost I'M
failingly directed to the face, espe-
ciIany if the player is in tears. Yet,
every other portion of the body has
done it's part in directing the vision
to the face. That indicates mastery
of pantomime.
The head must be considered from
two aspects and hair. In the

CHINA HAS PLANS FOR MORE En-
TENSIVE TRADE RELATIONS
WITH THE UNITED STATES

Washington, ID. c., September 25-
Anxious to have as little to do with
Japan as possible in any way, China is
making special efforts to give her for
mer Japanese trade to the United
States. The sending of Chinese rep
resentatives to this country this sum
mer to negotiate for a resumption OF
American trade has been followed up
consistently.
In the spring of 1915 Chinese ship
pers boycotted all Japanese goods and
vessels. Chinese trade leaped to
American Consul at Hongkong report
ed that American goods and American
shipping concerns were leading all
other nations in business done in
Chinese markets.
American trade decreased with the
revolutions in China in the autumn of
1915. The British blockade had a
marked effect, too. Conditions grew
worse When Yuan Shi Kai died
American trade in China was nil.
But China's doors are opening wider
and wider for this country. The Paci-
fc Mail Steamship Company's pur-
chase of three vessels for trans-Pacific
