twenty-four young women: Pennsyl-
vana. seventeen: University. fifteen. and
the Chestnut HILL fourteen.
Under the actual tutoring of one OF

BERNARD SHAW IS
LURED INTO SILENCE
Turns Film Actor With Barrie
and Pinero in MASKS and
Faces"
BY the Photoplay Editor

George Bernard Shaw, Sir Arthur W.
Pinero and Sir James NJ Barrie have
invaded the movies, Intimate details
concerning their performances are not
yet available. but the mere fact OF their
aflillation with the f,lms Is sufficiently
astounding. How the loquacious Bernard
will weather the silent drama, how the
reserved author Of "Mrs Tanqueray" and
the shy creator OF Peter Pan" win
weather the cameras 'pitiless publicity"
affords nilurirg fields OF speculation.
The photoplay. when was made In
England. Is entitled, appropriately
enough, Masks and Faces" and Is q
screen version Of Charles Reade's WE'LL
known drama OF the same name. The
American release. through the World
Corporation, will be made on May Q. The
star is Sir Johnstone Forbes-Robertson
and judging from the eize and distinc-
ton Of the cast II is presumable that
the three most celebrated playwrlghts OF
contemporary England will assume sub
ordinate roles. II may be recalled, how
ever. that Pinero was an actor In his
salad days. appearing In minor parts In
Henry 1rving's company.
The composition Of the MASKS and
Faces is truly extraordinary. The ros-
ttr also includes Gerald Du Maurier,
weedon Crossmith, Irene vanbrugh.

MYTH the Germans making their big

ed that every one should be talking and
thinking about the great war.
The spirit of war is reflected In the
various styles Of Easter eggs now on

orations of lilies, doves and other peace
ful Faster thoughts have given way to
patriotism In every shop are to be
seen chocolate-coated eggs with red.

canism.
Then. of course. there Is the Ameri-
cen flag, which has by no means been

least third of the larger eggs, and
some shopkeepers have even gone so
far as to forget the peaceful spirit OF
the season entirely, covering the eggs
with cannon. warships and other en-
gines Of destruction.
Not only in this manner has the war
affected the time-honored Easter egg,
but, as are most other things, II is now
