CLEOPATRA, DuBarry and 9TH
Il er famous sirens OF history
- wouldn't even create q ripple
of attention were they to walk down
Broadway or any other street to-
day, says Olive Thomas, Selznick
star. According to Miss Thomas
this type of vampire is now out OF
date like candles, snuff boxes, hoop
skirts, etc, and has been relegated
to the junk heap by the mighty male
sex. Miss Thomas has been max
ing a study of vampires, that is, the
p-to-date species, which now hold
sway, because in her first photoplay
under the Selznick banner she had
to become, for arts sake, a baby
vamp." She did not attempt to
emulate the hackneyed types of
years ago, because her power Of OBJ
servation told her they were about
in bailing out boat.
1.-THE men aren't falling for the
dreadnaught type with Oriental per
fume and snaky movements nowa-
days." says Miss Thomas. "They
have tired of all that and want
something new. The Goth century
man-catcher is the little innocent
looking, sweet-faced individual with
studied, nonsensical line of baby
chatter.
"Men have reformed greatly in
the last few years and no longer
want to be taught anything by a
woman-they prefer to do the
teaching themselves. That is why
they now find no attraction in the
former voluptuous type. She knows
too much for them and they know
it"
This weeks Omaha Daily Bee
Screen Magazine No. Sc, which will
be shown at the Sun theater, will
be found extremely interesting. First
Inspector Owen Eagan Of the New
York fire department will show how
the "fangs" of the most popular and
deadly bombs are removed, making
them safe to kick around. Next you
will see Jacob Hysler. barber who
has had the honor of shaving five
of our presidents--Grant, Arthur,
Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft; then
Lillian Russell shows how one
should give their feet a warm salt
bath and the proper manner IN which
they should be wrapped III white
flannel if you would help keep
away those horrid face wrinkles.
Some cold facts about rot sub
ject, or are you aware Of the fact
that the interior of flame is cold,
yet gas drawn from its center will
burn, is next illustrated. The man
ner in which the elephants Of Cen
trail park receive their baths will
both interest and anuse young and
old. This next is followed with j
lesson in natural, history, the illus
trations having been secured from
the jungle home of the New Jersey
mosquito, near Hoboken. Harry Ca
rey, one of the Universal stars, is
then INTRODUCED in a happy and
pleasing manner. There is laugh
and a lesson in every Bee Screen
Magazine shown. They are too big
and too good to miss.
George Winter, a member Of the
Henry Lehman Comedies, was
painfully injured last week in max
ing scene on the pier at Ocean
Park, Cal. The action required an
