Buttermi1k Creates
Beauty Overnight
Delightful New Vanishing Cream Con-
tanning True Buttermilk Makes You
look Years Younger or Money Back.

The first application of Howard S
Buttermilk Cream will astonish you. 1t
creates beauty almost like magic, but
the most wonderful thing about 1t is
the fact that whilst it turns the dull
est and most lifeless complexion to
radiant beauty and makes red or rough
arms snowy white yet there is not
the slightest sign of it's use after ap-
plication. 1t actually vanishes from
sight and the most heated atmos-
phere will not produce the least shint-
ness or greasiness Of the skin.
There is no secret about it nor Is
there any doubt about the result-it's
just common ordinary Buttermilk in
the form of a wonderful cream gently
massaged with the finger tips around
the corners of the eyes and mouth.
To prove this to your complete sat-
isfaction obtain a small quantity Of

stage spend $50oC0 for dresses in a
| season; that an attractive title has been
thought worth $1,000; that one of the
great stars thinks $4,000 a fair price
| for an idea around which he can build
a comedy; that chain of theatres
was recently capitalized at SIS, ,000. Goo
Well, the reader is apt to suspect
that there is something wrong some
where. But these things, and more,
are true. The explanation is that
there are $4,000 moving picture thea
tres in the United States. Really, there
are about 1900 according to fairly
reliable estimates, but many of these
are "store shows" which can hardly be
classed as theatres. It is conserva-
tive estimate to say that the film thea
tres will average 700 seats each, and
one of the most unexcitable distrib-
utors told fne that each theatre will
be filled twice day for 325 days in
the year.
Very well, then. Fourteen thousand
theatres of 700 seats filled twice daily
for 325 days gives total of $780,
100000 paid admissions annually.
Every ticket of admission was sold for
ten cents.l II only ten cents were paid
for each seat, the total would be the
impressive sum of $637, 100000.
Such figures explain film prosperity.
More people go to see motion pictures
than are interested in any other form
of sport or amusement. Think of it
Baseball, tennis, golf, catboating, all
dwindle into insignificance when COM
pared to 6.000,000,000 paid admissions.
No wonder that ten film theatres are
being built for one of the other sort,
and that they are usually handsomer
and more commodious. Five hundred
thousand persons are employed direct
ly or indirectly in the motion-picture
industry. Fifty thousand work on the
Western Coast in the production end
alone. One million dollars is spent
weekly in productions. But the totals
of today are infantilc compared to
what the motion-picture men believe
will be the sum tomorrow.
A. few years ago the film sought
chiefly to register motion. Then it
responded to the urge for magnih-
cence. A gaping public became ac-
quainted with huge temples and pre-
historic cities of plaster.
So great was the return from a gen
timely successful production when the
foreign rentals were included, that the
directors LOST all caution Money was
expended in the most reckless fashion

York for filming Venetian scene

point was that the heroine was ugly
would swish through in Paquin
gown, and languidly lift perfect arrs
against background of velvet to call
attention to a classic profile. Also,
authors were not always treated with
loving care by the producers. There
is an historic instance of one author
who wound up $4,000 out of pocket
He does not know precisely how
But the combination of big stars was
followed by combination of little
stars, and so producers were set "a
thinking. 1t was obvious that authors
could not combine of themselves, first
becasse authors could never agree, and
secondly because there is no form of
organization copious enough TO take
in all who write for the pictures. But
producers might combine groups of
authors. That has been done
The important fact underlying this
grouping of authors is that the pro-
ducers have come to the conclusion
that the story is as important, almost,
as the star. In this. they are follow
ing the example of the legitimate sage
Not many years ago emphasis was
placed upon the name of the star in
theatrical advertising. Today far more
is placed upon the excellence of the
story. One of the most successful of
the picture n1agnates holds that the
star is becoming increasingly unim-
portant.

irexorable law of supply and demand.
One would think that the woods would
be full of actors who can act per-
fectly well before a camera. But the
effort of the performer is far from
being purely mechanica1-a mere re-
action to megaphoned demands. If
he is called upon to register grief or
love or happiness, he must register ex-
actly. or the screen knows him no
more.
Up to this time, not great deal of
attention has been paid to the rights
of the author. 1t is true that large
sums have been paid for the picture
rights to well-known plays and stories,
but the money was really paid for the
advertising the properties had received.
The picture people for the most part
had singular indifference TO the feel
ings of an author. Time after
time an author parted with the picture
rights in all good humor, sonly to
learn that an autocratic director diff
fered with him as to the manner in
which the story should be treated. All
directors believe firmly in the virtues
of happy ending. It is thought to
have most benevolent effect upon
the box-office.
As one result of the managerial at
titude, some authors preferred to fore
go the money to be gained by selling
screen rights. Others sold the rights

tured results. They knew their ugly
