were practically the only inhabitants OF

With the profits acrrung from his

TRACK
SEASON
STARTS

With 80 boys of Stadium high
turning out yesterday afternoon,
and showing keen interest over
the coming track athletic season,
Coach TONY" Bell of the North
End school announced that train
ing work would begin speedily,
and that preliminary interclass
events might be staged as early
as the latter part of March.
Yesterdays turnout was the
first step towards starting the
spring athletic season. 1t is ex-
pected that the interclass events
between the Stadium and Lincoln
park classes will cause larger
turnout of prospective athletes
than usual, because there is more
chance for youth to win honors
in competition with a class of pu-
pills his own age, than with larg-
er and more advanced classes.
Among the stars still left at
Stadium are "Vic" Morgan,
Clark, Gillihan, Tonneson and
Geiger.

In the silent drama, the mouth
is one part of the body that might
be dispensed with. That is,
man or woman might
become a wonderful screen actor;
though the same could be said for
one without arms or feet or eyes,
for the combined effort of all
other portions of the body Is
needed to properly register emo
ton through pantomimic express
sion.
The lips and teeth are the
only portions of the mouth that
figure in expressing wordless con-
versation on the screen.
The lips are highly important
in expressing varying sentiments
and emotions. Diction and enun-
citation, two functions of speech
in which the lips play the major
part, are frequently depicted in
picture. BY watching the express
sion of the lips in a closeup
the audience hears words spoken
as plainly as though the syllables
actually assailed the ear. To car
ry this message of words to the
watcher, thu lips must accentu-
ate the pronunciation, yet the
action must not seem exagger-
ated.
The smile, the snarl, the pout
all are told In the photoplay
by the lips. And how would you
picture surprise without the lips?
In disdain, the curl of the lips
tells the story. Happiness Is
shown by the upward pointing of
the corners of the mouth. !. Flat,
hard lips give the notion Of in
difference. All these expressions
can be cultivated and controlled
with practice.
Few people realize what an i'm
portant part the teeth play in
screen talk, until their attention
is called to 1t. One's'dental equip
ment goes long way toward es-
tablishing characteristic to-
ward landing job" in motion
pictures.
The secret of success in panto-
mimic work when analysed. con-
sists chiefly in the finer uses one
makes of HIS natural equipment.
The first thing players from the
legitimate stage learn when they
enter the movies is how little they
know about pantomime. All go
