THE CAREER OF A NOV
ING PICTURE STAR.

The dramatic instinct has always
been strong within our race; for
years Jewish actors and actresses
have occupied leading positions
upon the American stage as we'll as
on the stages Of other countries. We
have Nazimova, Bertha Ka1isch,
Jane Cowl, David Warfeld and a
score of others equally prominent.
Recently new field has been
opened up to ambitious young men
and women-the field of the un-
spoken drama. Many of the names
that are SO proudly displayed at the
entrances of moving picture thea
tres are Jewish names, and foremost
among them is that of Miss Carmel
Myers. Miss Myers, who is the
daughter of a Los Angeles Rabbi,
hailed from California, the land of
sunshine, flowers and moving pic
ture stars. Growing up as she did
within stones throw of the cen
ter in which the greatest movies"
in the world are made, she soon sue
cumbed to the charm of the atmos-
phere in which she was living. Since
she is extraordinarily pretty and has
more than ordinary dramatic abil
ity, her ambition took fixed course.
She was just school girl, in fact
she is little more than that now,
when her opportunity arrived. 1t was
during the time that there was so
much discussion about the anti
semitic parts in "Intolerance" and
Mr.. Griffiths visited Rabbi Myers to
get his opinion of the much criti-
cised portions of the play. Little
Carmel realized that with the visit
of the great Griffiths her golden OPP
portunity had come. Accordingly
she waited outside for him until
after he had finished his more i'm
portant business with her father, and
then approached him timidly with
her request to go into the movies
Whether Mr.. Griffiths realized tai
ent in the girl who was pleading
with him, or whether he was mere
ly amused at the earnest, pretty
child, is something that we do not
know. But this We do know-it
has scarcely been two years since
the day that little Miss Myers spoke

HEIR TO 100000 EN-
LISTS IN PALESTINE
UNIT.

When the next contingent of the
Jewish battalion embarks this month
for Palestine, a slender, quiet young
Canadian will join the file of recruits
on the Hudson River pier, says a
writer in the New York Evening
Mail. Few in that jostling, tear
stained, farewell crowd or among his
comrades in arms-the student, the
cutter, the businessman" and the
rest-will know that he is Gustave
Schulman, just twenty-one, with
brand-new inheritance of three mil
lion.
With his grandfather's stocks to
make his dreams come true, with a
girl wife and love of life, he has
chosen to follow "the light of HUI
manity," as he sees the allied cause.
He is young man of few words,
except when the conversation turns
from money and success to matters
far more material: Then he pours
out his strangely mature ideas on
man and life and living, with a
whole-souled warmth. Not that he
scorns money, which he insists he
would have made a-plenty, if fate
had not heaped it upon him. But
he believes in deeds, not words, and
stops to discuss the philosophical
only because he cannot help himself.
"It's in the blood"
His belief in action led him to the
British and Canadian Recruiting
Mission at 220 West Forty-second
street the first of June. He had seen
motion pict, IS of the Jewish Bat
talon in Montreal, which decided
for him just where he should serve.
Weak eyes sent him to the deferred
class. He promptly put himself
under an Atlanta specialists treat
ment for seven weeks and has just
qualified to sail with the next detail.
"I think my place is in the Jewish
Battalion" he explained at the mis-
sion, because we must show our
sincerity in the Palestine cause. The
only way to do that is to go out and
fight for it. Action alone will prove
that we deserve Britain's confidence.
"I am not Zionist, but as far
back as 1915, at the first Zionist con-
vention in Boston, Judge Brandeis
in a speech set me thinking about
Jewish homeland. | have since

realized that we need it for future
generations.
The Jews have wonderful flu
ture if they will only look their
faults squarely in the face We must
face the truth instead of painted,
sugar-coated words. We have
learned much from the melting pot
experience in every land TO build
up a new Palestine But the Jews
must lay aside their narrow, racial
prejudice. 1t has warped and dis
torted their minds. And the mass
must learn more about hygiene"
Money, to Gustave Schulman. is
just so much raw material, to be de-
veloped to help humanity. How?
He does not know yet. He believes
in helping as he finds the individual
need. A future day may bring a
broader plan. It may have some
thing to do with Palestine. Who
knows? Just now he is bent on
investigation, and in the meantime
follows the method of dividing the
price of 500 suit into two "'ready-
mades" for himself and the other fell
low
81 have never had any dreams
about money" he says. Money is
not worth dreaming about. Besides,
the man who stops to dream never
gets it.
The three millions that have c,me
to his rescue were gathered by his
grandfather, Frederick Goldsmith,
late of Montreal, in mining ventures.
Young Schulman himself, one of
two children, was born and bred in
plenty. Everything his own father
touched in England and later in
Canada seemed to turn to gold.
Gustave Schulman cannot under
stand why three millions of his own
should make his pulse beat faster.
"Why should I get excited about
the money!" he asks, in surprise.
"In life man can only eat ard
wear so much. He cannot get more
than the best service. The normal
pleasures do not cost much. The
trouble with most millionaires is
that they soon exhaust their normal
desires and begin to chase phan-
toms, to try to create new pleasures,
as if that could be done"

SAVE GARBAGE IS SLOGAN.
Needed 10 Produce Giycerine for Max
ing Explosives.

"Save the garbage" IS the newest
slogan.
The necessity for Increasing our eN-
ports of glyccrine to the allies for use
in the manufacture Of explosives IS
principal factor in the new campaign.
While the United States has been call
ed on heretofore to export only 3,O0O,-
900 10 100000 tons Of glycerinc
monthly for this purpose, the demands
have jumped up to 200oO,oo0 tons
monthly.
Statistics of the Food Administra-
.ion show tha: in enc ton of garbage
there is enough glycerire to make thf
explosive charge for il T5-millimetrc
shells; enough fatty stuff to manu-
facture - pounds of soap; ferti!lzc:
elements sufficient to grow eign;
bushels of wheat. and 4 score OF othc'
valuable materials essential to the
manufacture of munitions.
\ large amount of glycerine can be
reclaimed at the various garbage e.
.ra tion plants from the fats whlch
would otherwise go to waste.
A plentiful supply of fats is ncceS-
cary 20 thc winning Of the war. Ger"
many's principal difficulty during re.
cent months has been due to a short
age of fats. The enemy has been fore.
ed to throw lot of dairy products In

which has reduced the food supply just

Food Administration Issues Important
Order Restricting Purchases by the
Public From Retailers.

All local food administrators have
been advised by the state office al
Richmond that our sugar situation
has developed during the last few
days so as to require stricter conser-
walton measures. Submarine losses
of sugar and ships and the difficulty
of obtaining shipping for Philippine
and more remote supplies make i'm
peratively necessary the strictest
economy in the use Of sugar Il we are
to save our fruit and vegetable crop.
LEGAL administrators have, there
fore, been requested to direct that
sales OF sugar to individual consumers
for household use be limited to two
mounds in towns and cities and to
five pounds in rural communities.
People are alleged to be taking adj
vantage of the privilege granted IN
purchases of sugar for canning pur-
poses, and therefore such sales must
hereafter be limited to twenty-five
mounds, and repeat orders can be filled
cnly upon permit from local food ad-
ministrators.
Poultry and Eggs.
The Food Administration holds that
a retail merchant in the country who
buvs eggs from a farmer. or takes
eggs in trade, is not a retailer OF
eggs, but occupies position like that
of an original packer or shipper, and
therefore comes under the require
ments OF the Presidents proclama-
tion of May Ia, which makes subject
to license all operators of poultry
and egg packing plants not already
licensed by the United States Food
Administration.
Warning is issued by the Federal
Food Administration for Virginia
that application should at once be
made direct to the license division,
law department, United States Food
Administration, Washington, d. G.,
hy all those not already licensed, who
nuy poultry and eggs from others
and ship them to market, including
countrys merchants purchasing these
commodities in exchange for goods.
