FILM MEN ANSWER
SUMMONS TO WAR
Wells Hawks, Richard Tucker,
S. Rankin Drew and Others
"Join Out" With Service
By the PhotOplay Editor

One of the New York papers has taken
the trouble to collect a list of names, repre-
senting the theatrical profession, whose
owners have answered their country's sum
mons to battle. The compiler, Eleanor
Gates, Of the Stage Women's Relief admits
that the compendium may not be complete.
Names are, of course, being added hourly.
The photoplay industry is fairly we'll
represented. When one considers that a
majority of picture actors are employed on
the Pacific coast and that Mrs. Gates list
apparently was made up from eastern
sources, the honor roll of movie people may
be set down as excellently large.
Cyril Chadwick, formerly a comedian
with Thanhouser, is mentioned, as is S.
Rankin Drew, of Sidney Drew, and
former actor and director for Vitagraph
and Metro Wells Hawks, the quiet press
agent extraordinary for Mary Pickford and
Geraldine Farrar in the past, has enlisted
In the marine corps. 1t is said. Richard
Tucker, once an Edison leading man and
a stock favorite in this city, has Joined

Lasky. is another recruit.
Walter Long, meanest of villains and
Tom Forman, most affable of Juveniles
have both left the Lasky western company
to affiliate with the artillery. Leon Kelly,
a juvenile leading man with now defunct
Lubin companies, has signed as wireless
operator in the navy. Z II readers know
of any additional screen artists who have
responded to that patriotic impulse they
may send their names TO this department
for insertion.

Cause of Snoring

What causes a person TO snore? HENRY
The cause Of snoring is that the person
is trying to breathe through the nose and
the mouth at the same time. Now, IL one
breathes through the mouth, he does not
snore and cannot snore. II you breathe
through the nose only you cannot snore !:
but If you breathe through the nose and the
mouth at the same time you may have all
kinds of snoring. Breathing through the
mouth and the nose at once sets the soft
palate at the back of the throat vibrating
back and forth between the two currents of
air. and that is what makes the noise of
snoring.

CURED before, but often a patient neglects

There is marked revival of inter-
est in the surplice blouse. Not as a
separate garment, but as part of
the morning or afternoon frock. 1t
employs very little trimming, de-
pending largely upon the grace Of
its lines for appeal. The surplice
bodice of the costume illustrated in
the adjoining sketch is charming in
its simplicity. Wistaria satin is the
material that has gone into the
fashioning of this afternoon frock
and the combining material is
Georgette in self-color. The trim
