FEMININE WLES

Gladys Brockwell Analyses
Screen Lovemaking in Her
Latest Picture

When Gladys Brockwells next william
Fox photoplay Is thrown on the screen Of
the Nixon the members of the audience may
learn several new things about love-making
In Conscience" which is the new produc-
ton Miss Brockwell deliberately employs
no less than five separate and distinct
methods of manifesting feminine attraction.
and the basis OF all five, she insists. Is the
same.
I'm films the woman's method Of ap-
proach." says Miss Brockwel, rs popu-
larry known as 'vampiring I think that
term does not NJ the work I am doing In
Conscience
ITO capture a mans affections, a woman
has only to adapt herself to the peculiar
requirements Of his character and tempera-
ment. The ways of making love, then.
vary as much as mems characters do. So
there is no end to the various methods
which can be used.
"one thing, however, is constant. The
smile must be there. No matter what
method OF offense a woman adopts, she must
carry II through with a smile on her lips
That above all.
I'm Conscience I am using fve different
methods of approach 10 the hearts of men
They can best be distinguished by the fve
motives which prompt me to make any
effort whatever In the picture-avarice
passion. vanity, hate and revenge. There
is no real love toward any OF the five men
merely a motive to captivate, backed by a
reason for exercising my wlles of the
screen.
"rhe approach to these five men is differ
ent In each case. must adapt myself 20
the peculiar traits of each. and usually.
those traits correspond to the motive which
urged me on. Thus, when I ensnare a man
for his wealth l court his favor by com
plete surrender. Passion finds me more
vibrant and responsive. with the result that
the game ends more quickly In beginning
the campaign for motives of vanity show
myself as seIf-centered and proud. II is q
hard fight, but II wins
Hate is restless and fiery, and II
strikes with surety Revenge. the most
difficult battle OF all, ends in murder But
1t leaves me cold, contented.
Altogether, l believe that Conscience
Is going to be the greatest lesson in screen

DANCING STAR MADE
FIRST BIG HIT HERE
Lucille Cavanagh, Now Vaudeville
Headline, Must Thank Philadel-
phia for Recognition

A few years ago a dainty little girl made
her first appearance In this city at the Little
Theatre, presenting at that time a barefoot
dance i'm a piece called His Majesty the
Fool" As will be remembered, the dancing
OF this slip of a girl created emphatic
interest in this city, and II was not long
after that this dancer was starring on
broadway with her name blazoned al
electric lights. The girl was Lucille Cav
anagh, who is today one OF the admitted
dancers OF the American stage. Miss Cav
anaKh's name has heretofore been linked
with a male partner in her vaudeville offer
ing, but she comes TO B. F. Keiths Theatre
as the heAdliner OF next weeks bill, not
only as an individual star but as the pr,
ducer OF her own act. With her will be
Frank Hurst and Ted Doner.
Prior to Miss Cavanaghs appearance
at the Little Theatre in this city, she was
unknown 10 the stage She gained her first
idea OF the theatrical profession when she
was called upon 70 substitute in one of the
annual productions given by her instructor
ginning OF her travel over the road TO star
vas with Gertrude Hoffman in From
broadway to Paris" and later appeared as
one OF the featured principals in several OF
ths biR musical productions on Broadway,
among them being "rhe Follies OF 1915"

MISS ANGLIN PLANS
REPERTOIRE SEASON
lonely Soldiers" Will Open Her
Series of Plays at Little
Theatre

II is not generally known that Margaret
Anglin, who comes to the Little Theatre on
Thursday Of next week, began her career on
the stage In low comedy role. 1t was i.
H. Sothern who gave her the first chance
to make her appearance on the stage. and
he cast her for the part of Meg, the little
slavey in Lord Chumley." 1t was not long
after that she attracted the attention of
Charles Frohman, who put her at the head
Of his Empire Stock Company. After her
great success in Mrs. Danes Defense" it
seemed as If Miss Anglin's managers were
determined to confne her efforts to the por-
trayal Of emotionally Ovcrwrought women.
But the germ Of comedy had been firmly
implanted in her by her early experience
and as soon as she became her own man
ager she cast about for a suitable play that
would convince her audiences that she had
not forgotten how to laugh.
Her opportunity came when she was
able to purchase a comedy by A. f. w.
Mason which had failed in London, with
sir George Alexander In the leading role
II was called Colonel Smith" but Miss
Anglln saw the possibilities in the central
idea and she rewrote 1t and renamed It.
The result was Green Stockings" which
was not only a great success. but one which
stu maintains prominent place in her
fepertory. To prove further that her be-
lief In her talent as a comedienne was
founded on fact, she embarked i'm a series
Snakespearean reVlNals, which included
AS You Like It," Twelfth Night" THE
Tanning of the Shrew" and Much Ado
About Nothing" Her successful advent in
the realm Of comedy, however. did not cause
bliss Anglin to lose her interest I'm the more
serious side of her art. as was proved by
ner subsequent appearance in THE Awaken
ing or Helena Ritchie." Lady Winder-
meres Fan" and "A Woman of No I'm
portance' and The Lioness" In her frst
oonering at the Little Theatre Lonely Sol
olers' she will return TO comedy. but her
iuture plans involve the production of at
least three serious dramatic works at the
Iitue playhouse In De Lancey street. with
the possible addition OF two important re-
vlvas
AS an additional test Of her remarkable
eersatlity Miss Anglin plans a series Of
Sreek tragedies at Carnegie Hall in New
nork during the early part of February
lhese performances will include productions
y Elektra,' "Medea" and "Iphigenia in
aauris, with the assistance of the New
iork symphony Society under the direction
~ walter Damrosch. who has composed
sne incidental music. The three works will
sso be given in Philadelphia at the Acad-
my OF Music in the spring.
