M Me. LIMA CAVALIERI, at
Vl the Strand this week in THE
Two Brides" in connection
with Fatty Arbuckle there in Love, "
admits that appearing before a CAM
era isn't all fun. Her impressions
as the feelings of the one in the eye
OF the camera are interesting.
There is something terrifying
&bout appearing before the camera
10 a novice. Not that / consider
myself that now, for | have appeared
many times in the silent drama"
both in this country and ia Italy,
But still ! can remember my first
Impressions and their effects are still
felt. / was told that the eye of the
camera sees all-that no detail would
escape its watchfulness and that it
usually enlarged objects to twice
their usual size-particularly OBJ
jectional objects.
Il have found this indeed true and
one Of the reasons why it takes me
about two hours longer to makeup
for the screen than it does for the
operate stage. A strand of hair
out of place-or even misplaced
eyelash-may spoil the picture. The
other day the machinery of a whole
production was held up because Of a
poor design on some gilded slip

new production"
Armed with great load Of flow
ers, Gladys Brockwell visite one of
the children's hospitals in Los An
gcles. She had a | ng chat with all
Of the kiddies there. The little pa
t.ou's did not know that their visit
or was the VIII am Fox star, for
So wore the white uniform of a
trained nurse
Al! the children called Miss
Broc%weIl "nursc." The small in
~ Dis in their beds hugged her. and
the tonvalescents tro,ted after her
over the hospital grounds. They in
sisted that the actress play games
with them; aud even a little boy
on crutches Joined in game of ball.
Director IeSaint saw the young
sters at their play and ordered the
camermen to get TO work. He knew
that all the coaching in the world
would not produce so effective a
result ON the screen as the spon-
taineous games the kiddies were
playing and enjoying. Only when
the eamermen had almost finished
screening the seer id the lame boy
on crutches point ~ the camera and
ask.
WHATS that? Are you taking our
pictures" .a<
And so Miss Brorlwell had to
take as many of the chiurcn on her
lap A. her lap could hold and explain
e hen that they had helped II
make a motion picture play,
Miss Brockwell IS appearing this

Little Marvel Rea accomplishes a
feat of horsemanship in the Mack
Sennett comedy East Lynne With
Variations" that few girls, in pic

comes in with the william, riding a
horse about as tall as a camel
They dismount and she vaults into
the saddle from the ground without
touchn g a stirrup. Cowboys can
do this feat on small cattle ponies,
but it would require considerable
pep in the best of them to leap in

on big California cattle ranch and
learned to sit OH the hurricane deck

Paying the highest price ever
given for a cinema vehicle for one
Of its stars, Universal has purchased
an original story from Bayard
WELLER. the we'll known playwright
