who. lives at Mott Street, who is
five feet no inches tall and who is
an accomplished waiter.
In the restaurant where Hor Lee
serves two couples from uptown
sought chop suey and excitement the
other night. The young men, hav-
ing exhausted their scant store Of
witticism, looked for more in For
Lee. The larger of the two Young
men told how, if the United States
would ever go to war with China, he
would personally clean up an assem-
bly, district in Picking. He didn't get
overseas in this war, he said, because
he was an expert checker up on
canned corned beef at Camp Upton.
But he would get over in the next
war, especially if it was with China.
as he was a great admirer of the
Chinks as food.
He ordered chow main from Hor
Lee, and when he brought it. he in
sisted that he had asked for chicken
chop suey. 1t made him mad. the
young man said. In fact, he pointed
out, it made him want to lick many
Chinese. He arose and lowered ten
inches over Hor Lee. One of the

luXuriant eyebrows at the other end
of the bench where the guy who
wanted to write Sunday stories, but
had nothing to write about, had de-

explained later, it was like some

Bing! goes the alibi. He couldn't
turn down the applicant on the
ground Of no experience and, any
way, if he's good director he is
looking for talent, and this person
may be the very one he needs. What
is the answer? A try-out, of
course, and, once before the camera,
it is distinctly up to the graduate
whether she makes good.
1t is a fact. There is school
right in the heart of New York City
where the youth or maiden aspiring
to a place at the top of filmdom
may learn the rudiments of the
art. There is nothing nonsensical
in it's conduct, and it's entrance ex-
amlnations are as rigid as they can
be made. 1t is thoroughly
equipped studio atop the American
Film Laboratories Building at
Ninetieth Street and Columbus
Avenue. There are three class
rooms, each a motion picture "set. 4"
One is drawing room, one a sump-
tuously appointed ballroom, and the
third thoroughly equipped busi-
ness office typical of the financial
district.
1t is here that the students fore
gather and study their lessons. And
none is accepted for training who
doesn't measure up to high stand

erman, principal of the school, or
his assistant, George Matthews,

simple and easily passed, but if YOU
feel that way about it try it YOUR
self and learn how mistaken you
are. They are tests in registering
the different emotions, and unless

Just when the car of the studio
had believed himself at the pinnacle
OF SNUG supremacy along comes
another innovation in the film in
dustry that threatens to make his
life miserable--a departure to meet
which he has until the present writ
ing found no weapon. Higher edu-
cation has invaded the studio and
with its advent presto. goes the
stock alibi of the director.
F'rinstance-Back in the glorious
old days, two or three months ago.
when the m. p. director was ap-
preached by a young and most am
bilious youth or maiden. who "just
knew" his or her career was in the
motion pictures," he escaped the in
cipient plague somewhat after this
fashion:
"Any experienced"
'No, sir" the crestfallen applicant
would reply, and a curt dismissal
would follow, thus ending a poten-
tial career" And that settled it.
However, tempus does fugit, and
the fleeting wings of time beat Just
as remorsely at the doors of film
dom as they do elsewhere. Thus,
in the span of few weeks we have
with us a real motion picture uni
versity and the fine arts of vampir-
ing, villany and heroizing take their
places alongside readin', 'ritin and
'rithmetic. This studio school is no
myth. 1t has made it's advent with
little heralding, played the game
seriously, and there is the same con-
straint and sincerity in it's sessions
as may be found in an advanced
class in mathematics or philosophy.
SO in future, when the one-time
monarch of the studio receives the
applicant for "chance" in the
films and chortles What expert

Mexican pesos that the applicant.
