prince Of the slap-stick wielders he
appealed mostly To people who saw
him as q slap-stick artist pure and
simple and most of those who have
seen him--who do not like slap
stick-have treated his efforts TO
amUse with contempt.
In the new comedy type-that OF
the blackface groom-Sterling shows
his real value. HIS facial express
sion. his ability to take advantage
OF each moment he Is before his
public TO do something new or
something that really conveys a
meaning, Is very much worth while.
There are mnny OF us who could
get along without Keystone comedy
But there are quite q lot OF others
tc whom keystone comedy Is the
biggest thing in pictures. 1t serves,
very useful purpose to them and
is to be commended for that rca-

clusively that there are real pc ssh

be commended-especia by those
who believe in Mack Sennets idea

And Yet She Is, a
Toe Dancer; This
Tells Why

Edith Storey is not a too dancer
That Is a response to All anxious
inquirer who wrote 10 the photoElay

cr or not tho motion picture star
had boen connected with the dunclng

Tbis Is response TO yha query
that would natuinlly be asked. fol.

by persons who saw Miss Storey in
one OF her latest Picture plays. And
as the two queries open up bit OF
interesting facts connected with tho
production OF motion pictures. the
answers arc given in Just this way.
The explanation OF why Miss Storey
Is not 4 toe dancer and at the same
time really Is toe dancer IL very
simple and explains quite n lot OF

Edith Storey Is one Of the really

ditions. ard Ia determine just h1Ny

Of tho best known practitioners Of

All Miss Storey really needed of
practical toe dancing for the picture
waR enough skill TO execute one pas
seul, or whatever they call II. She
practiced this very carefully and
painfully. and arrived at the degree
of skill necessary to put II in the
scene, But what she wanted to do,
more than merely learn the mechani-
cal part of the work, was to get the
toe dancers view of things by learn
ing Just what sort of persons toe
dancers are. And this was what she
accomplished by her long lessons and
hard work.
Miss Storeys action emphasizes the
change that has gradually been com
Ing over the spirit OF motion picture
for the better. Harry Myers. now a
Universal star and formerly with the
Lubin company. was 1Tv of the first
to see this. Mr.. Myers was called

practices Of these physicians. but he
made II his business TO learn all he
could of them. His work In the pic

chiropractic's methods. and he has

Numerous instances Of the same
sort may be given to show Just how
far the photo players-the thought

course there are certain dangerous
