Anita Almost Sent
Seven Film Stars
To Dream Kingdom

One OF the greatest tragedies
ever threatened in the motion
picture studios of California was
narrowly averted recently by the
presence of mind of Anita Stewart
whose latest first national release,
Her Kingdom of Dreams" forms
the main attraction at Moores Rial
to Theater this week.
During the filming of this fea-
ture, an automobile driven by Miss
Stewart and in which Mahlon Ham

Aitken and Marshal Neilan were
riding skidded and went down an
ciEht-foot ditch.
Instead of losing control, Miss
Stewart accelerated the engine,
threw out her clutch and showed her
gear into reverse. This immediate
ly stopped the car from skidding,
and it fell over on the right side
with only a slight crash.
Not an occupant was injured. The
members Of the cast who were rid
ing in the car made Miss Stewart a
present OF a thirty seven piece ivory
set bearing the following inscrip-
ton:

them is to try to tell one from the

that is very easy. Yansci's name

Roszika's play name is Genevieve

wait until some one OF the char

as Grace, and then you are sure its

necessary is to keep ones eyes fas-
tened on that particular Dolly. and
the other one is sure to be Ros-

well until they make an exit, and

that they know when they have pro-
duced one Of these approved types Of
appreciation. Finally, they must by
practical demonstration convince the
world that there is no fundamental
opposition between the habits OF mind
and action cultivated in the arts and
those cultivated in the scientific
courses given in the schools. The
present day conditions are a challenge
to art teachers and to all of us.
Vaguely we all believe in art practi-
cally we are not able to bring it into
the schools in any form which we re-
gard as satisfactory for the training
Of students. To bring it forcibly into
the course without needing the objec-
tons raised will be unfortunate. To
omit 1t altogether is to deprive the
student Of one important aspect of
civilization. The challenge to deal with
this situation intelligently is peremp-
tory"
This initial necessity OF clearing the
ground of sentimental far fetched and
high flown illusions on the subject of
art is noted by the British Ministry Of
Reconstruction in it's recent pamphlet
on art and Industry:
"The great fact awaiting recogni-
ton is that art is indispensable in life,
and therefore in education and in
work. Art has become limited in

ing the emphatic sentiments Of Joseph
Pinell, the August number Of Arts and

ficient-we must first of all remove the
stupid prejudices which surround the
whole subject of art. Is American art

Joseph Pencil declares, a thing of

Writing on the subject Of art educa-

necessity of making art a practical,
intimate, everyday subject. art

indulging in rhapsodies over art and

that the knowledge of glass was some
what hazy at that period, for glass
blowing was then a very recent in

that glass pastes were often sold in
