NORMA TALMADGE OBLICES

a covered van is half so comfortable to
travel in as a Rolls-Royce; and, of
course. it isn't always summer. So. no
doubt I'm better off where I am. But
sometimes those babies are very cx-
asperating."
And then VIC learned that Miss Tai
madges particular grievance was
screen babies. They are not to be de-
pended upon.
"Of course, il isn't their fault, the
poor dears, but their mothers are most
~ so irresponsible and-this is state
secret-it is not an unusual thing TO
use a dozen different infants in one
picture. The same baby never turns up
again, and we have to go on the theory
that all babies look alike TO every one
save their parents.
"And the way we have to watch those
infants! The mothers seem TO care
very little what becomes Of them. Much
as | love babies, always am thankful
when a picture happens along where
don't have to have one. They are such
a care. Oh, but have a sweet baby In
Poppy Wait till you see him, or her
i never did know which it was. He
or she laughed all through the play,
and I'm sure will be a screen actor or
actress later on.
81 60 to see every actress work on
the screen, for / believe that the best
way TO improve ones own work Is TO
see what others are doing. We often
recognize in others, faults which we
only then realize we ourselves possess,
and We cannot correct them until we
admit that we have them. Nazimova is
my ideal, and I'm so happy when any
one tells me that look like her"
Unfortunately, about this time Miss
Talmadge began to talk of her love for
dogs, which we knew all about, having
once been the dog editor. Then she
switched to cats, which we do not
know so much about. Then she said
that che loved mice, and tried to in
terest US In the fate Of mouse which
she said visited her in her dressing
room.
And then she discovered this mouse
in trap which some one had set under
her dressing table, and then she loosed
him on US. He must have been prop"
mouse kept for the purpose Of chasing
visitors away, for he carefully lodged
Miss Talmadge and her sister, Con-
stance, and coyly hid in the fur on
our gown.
A word to interviewers: When Norma
Talmadge gets around to the subject
Of Great Danes and Boston Bulls il
is time to go. Do not wait for her TO
introduce Persian cats and trained
mice.

q
wv HEN Norma Ialmadge was small
w or, rather, when she was few
years younger than she is now, she
| longed 20 be a gypsy. Failing that, she
wanted to be an Indian, but a gypsy
had first place in her heart.
The height of her ambition was to
travel in band, live in a tent and
make a living principally by theft and
fortune telling. Now. Of course, Miss
I Talmadge's parents might have object
ed. as parents have a disagreeable way
of doing, but Miss Talmadge still loves
to believe that she might have en-
barked upon the picturesque career OF
nomad and by close application and
administration to the needs of the peo-
/ pie of the particular tribe of Bohemian
itinerants with which she was allied
eventually have had the honor Of being
selected as their queen.
Before Norms's plans for the future
we're fully developed, or, at least, be-
fore she had a chance to put them into
working form, she became attacked with
a passion for the movies. While she did
not at first relinquish her long cher
ished plans of nomadic character she
began to combine the two, and system
atically took in all pictures which had
to do with Indians or gypsies.
Finally, not satisfied with seeing the
pictures on the screen, little Miss Tai
madge took TO visiting the studios.
And that is how she happened to be-
come a moving picture actress.
We never used to believe these
stories of how people got into the
movies through the directors mistak-
ing them for the star or something,
but we do now. For not two weeks ago
a director said to US: STAND in front
of that mirror, and when | say Turn
come slowly down stage" and if we
/ hadn't had a sudden accession Of stage
fright We might at this very moment
be making $1,000 a week But Miss
Talmadge was different. She, too, had
stage fright, but she carefully con-
cealed it and did what she was told.
She said
There I was, standing in the studio,
watching them take the pictures, with
my eyes and mouth wide open, when
the director seized me by the arm and
said: What are you doing out here
Get in the picture! got in the pct-
ure. He told me TO come back the next
day, and went back, and again the
next, and the first thing l knew was
8 regular fixture there. And that is
how happened to be a moving picture
actress instead Of a gypsy.
"Now, in my old age"-Miss Tai
madge is twenty-one-I see the fallacy
of my early ambitions. l don't suppose

HOW ABOUT ARLISS?

GONE ONE asked George Arliss the
~ other night if he had ever thought
of having a play written around the
character Of the most picturesque
charlstan who ever hoodwinked the
modern world-Cagliostro, sometimes
called Balsamo, the Magician, the oily
rogue whose alleged occult seances
were the talk of Paris in the days when
the ancient regime was cracking under
the strain and whose impositions were
greedily swallowed by many of the
most intelligent men and women in
every corner of Europe.
give had him in mind for years"
replied Mr.. Arliss. "But l can't find q
play in him. got Louis Parker all
worked up over the idea after Dis
rael' was produced, and he spent two
months in research, only 20 report that
there was no dramatic stuff in him.
He achieved his great success by the
ingenious application Of mechanical
devices and shrewd triekery. Your
audience would know this and would
not be particularly interested in him.
You ERE pleased with conjuror. but
you know he's tricking you, and you
have no real interest In him as q con-
sequence. OF course, he was most
fascinating scoundrel, and I'd like to
create him, II II we're possible 20 build
a play around him, but II does not
seem as II this could be done"
u Is whispered, however. that Mr..
Arliss may be seen next season in an
historical role, one remote as the poles
from the character OF Benjamin Dis
raeli or Of the eccentric Psgsnini.

The Penalty Of Liberty.

In the matter Of discipline John Rus.
kin's mother was a Spencerian before
Spencer. Let your penalties" says
that austere philosopher, 'be like the
penalties inflicted by inanimate nature,
inevitable. The hot clnder burns a
child the first time he seizes it; 1t
burns him the second time; it burns
him every time; and he very soon
learns not to touch the hot cinder."
That was Mrs. Ruskin's method. To
illustrate her way of teaching lessons,
Ruskin used to tell the following incl
dent of his early childhood. which his
mother was fond Of relating. ~,
zone evening, when was yet in my
nurses arms, I wanted to touch the
tea urn, which was boiling merrily. 1t
was an early taste for bronzes, sup
pose, but I was resolute about it. My
mother babe me keep my fingers back
I insisted on putting them forward.
My nurse would have taken me away
from the urn, but my mother said:
"'Let him touch 1t, nurse

erty got, and the last that for some
time I asked for."-Youth's Companion.

Concerning Ices.

The storage of ice for summer use
has been practiced from the earliest
times. The Greeks. for instance, con-
structed icehouses hundreds of years
before the Christian era, and we know
that Alexander the Great, when at
Pera, in India, had large pits dug and
filled in with snow, which was COW
erred over with layers Of leaves. The
ice or frozen snow was used as Oc-
casion required, both as an iced drink
itself and also to cool other drinks.
The Romans also enjoyed the luxury
lot iced drinks. but they generally iced
them by putting ice or snow into the
liquid. At later period the Turks,
improving upon Alexander's method,
had well-constructed vaulted cellars
in which they stored large blocks Of
ice, filling up the interstices with
snow, SO that the whole formed
solid block or small iceberg. France
Followed this plan for ages, but it was
mot until the end of the sixteenth
century that the French people learn
ed how to freeze water artificially.
Shaped and nodded water ices were
eaten In France in 1860, and were
soon afterwards introduced into Eng
land. Cream ices were the luxury Of
q later day, and when first introduced
were very primitive compared with
the daintlly favored. cOlored and
shaped ices of the present time.

At TT. Benjamin Harrison, near In

October 10th, $403,100 had been sub
scribed by the men in training for Off

at $192,350. Other training camps
have done as well.
Farmers and the small traders and
merchants of the country must now
give their aid. In Germany loan after
loan for hundreds Of millions of dol.
lars have been raised, every one over
subscribed.
Are VIC going to give the enemy the
satisfaction of believing this nation,
apathetic to this struggle of democ-
racy against autocracy? Yet that is
the inference German officials will
draw unless the second liberty loan
bond issue for $4,000, 100000 is heavily
oversubscribed on or before October
9th.

seIf.Hypnotism Nearly Fatal.

Records for keen imaginations were
shattered in the case Of Edward Cor
rigan, who almost succeeded in killing
himself with thought, a Los Angeles
dispatch says.
Corrlgan Is young engineer and
had been going with girl. with whom
he had quarreled. 1.-The end will come
in a couple of hours" he said ip sep
ulchral tones. Shortly afterwards he
was found in bed in comatose Condi-
ton, and when his folks entered the
room he asked for priest to admins
ter the last rites. ,,.s
Police Surgeon Zorb. made minute
examination and thought Corrigan had
taken poison. His eyes were dilated
and his outward condition indicated
poisonous symptoms. Treatment ap-
piled caused Doctor Zorb and other ex-
perts called in to believe that the case
was one Of self-hypnotism causd by
mental depression. When Corrigan
returned to his senses In the hospital
he broke out In tears, saying he was
respondent over his broken love affair.
