The Chicago Tribune says of the
picture, "'The objectionable Sin
has no equal. 1t will stand alone as
the greatest motion picture master
piece for years, to come" In every
city where the picture has been
shown the public has acclaimed it
by the throngs that hocked to the
theaters.
In "The Best Man." at the Sun to-
day, Mr.. Kerrigan as Cyril Gordon
wears disguise during the opening
scenes of the play that will defy de-
lection by even the most ardent
fans" OF this popular young actor.
The disguise is effected largely by a
mustache and imperial. Many peo-
pie may have wondered how Mr..
kerrigan would look with a bit of
foliage decorating his upper lip. This
will give an opportunity for them to
verify their opinions as to whether
this bit of appendage enhances his
appearance or if they prefer him as
he really is. To be sure-like ladies'
hats-there are various styles of
mustachds, and if he had chosen an
other style, perhaps somewhat on
the Chaplin variety it would be more
in harmony with his physiognomy.
But in this case the decoration was
not selected for its artistic beauty,
but as disguise, and as such all
must agree that it fulhlls its mission.
Gladys Brockwell believes in all
brands of conservation, and one of
her favorite varieties is the conserva-
tion of minutes. She does not per-
nit one minute to go to waste in
idleness.
While Miss Brockwel1 was making
scenes for "The Divorce Trap" she
embroidered a whole dinner set dur
ing the moments when she was not
occupied in making scenes. She be-
lieves there are a thousand and one
things that can be done at the studio
while one is waiting for ones "cue."
Miss Brockwell even maintains that
her motion picture work benefits
from this sort of outside activity.
The Divorce Trap" will be shown
at the Sun the last of this week.

- acting for the camera is a diff
ferent job than that of acting on the
speaking stage. AS an actor his OBJ
servations on the different methods
are Of interest:
"The hardest thing for me to
grasp in my first movie was the fact
that the scenes were not taken in
sequence. In movies, you start half
way toward the end, back up to the
beginning, jump to the middle. and
hop about thus until all the scenes
are done. II was difficult keeping
track of just what sort of man |
was supposed to be at what partic-
ular time.
Another thing that was difficult
was the short time it took to make
a scene. I'd Just begin to get prop
erly worked up into an acting frame
of mind when the director would

served for posterity-when | hadn't

As an additional feature for his
