EYES REFLECT BEAUTY
FROM ACTRESS HEART
Neysa McMein, Artist, So Describes
Miss Katherine Macdonald of
"Reauty Market"

katherine MacDonald's beauty Is
in her eyes, in the light which
is reflected from her own heart"
says Neysa McMein, the noted
artist. in a recent criticism of this
noted star whose latest First Ma
tional Production, THE Beauty Mar
ket," opens a weeks engagement at
Moore's Rialto Theater tomorrow.
This beauty is one which few girls
have but which all could have. The
gaze of Miss Macdonald does not
show snobbishness or an inclination
to center her thoughts about herself.
There is deep understanding in them,
a something that tells me that this
girl has a heartfelt tolerance LOT her
fellow creatures.
TThe life of Miss Macdonald will
show that she has met sorrows not
as insurmountabIe obstacles or de-
pressing weight, but as problems to be
conquered. She refused to let them
affect her outlook on life, but met
them in a straightforward, direct man
ner. and solved them.
MANY women early wreck their ap-
pearance and lives by worry. They
fret over such things as their hus-
bands incomes, the care of their
children, social ambitions, their
clothes, and a thousand ana one other
things.
This worry stamps itself on the face
of a woman. 1t puts wrinkles in her
forehead, draws the lines about her
eyes and mouth and makes her cheeks
fabby.
katherine Macdonald had these
worries. When but a mere girl she
was left with the responsibility of
providing for a large family the in
come of which was hardly large
enough to meet an average electric
light bill. She faced her difficulties
frankly and with a cheerfulness OF
spirit. 1t is this quality that shines
in the eyes of Katherine Macdonald
and makes her beautiful"

PROMINENT PERFORMERS
ASSISTING OUR MARY
"Suds" Is Played BY Several Lead
ing Actors From Stages
in Eur0ne

Mary Pickford, in her latest produc-
ton for United Artists, "Suds." has
as usual surrounded herself with a
! neither time nor money in securing
players exactly suited to the roles.
| This production will be the feature at
Loew's Palace tomorrow.
Prominent in her support Is Nine
| Rose Dione, for a long time one OF
the leading members of Sarah Bern
hardts company in Paris and who
since the outbreak of the war has ap-
peared in French dramas at the
| French Theater in New York, and
more recently came to California to
appear in the silent art.
Nine. Diohe is as yet unable to
speak fluent English. which makes
her especially suitable for the role OF
the excitable French proprietress OF
the hand laundry in the slums of Lon
don where Mary, as Amanda Afflick,
10 the slavey.
The principal lead - the possessor
of the shirt upon which this story is
founded, is Albert Austin, an English
comedian of note, who for the past
four years has been prominent in all
of Charlie Chaplin's productions. and
was loaned by the world-famous
comedian to Miss Pickford for this
production.
Harold Goodwin, who scored such
| a success in support of Miss Pickford
in "The Heart of the Hills" is also
seen in "Suds" as Benjamin Pillsbury
Jones. master of transportation for
the laundry, his occupation being to
drive the dilapidted old nag, Laven-
der. attached to the wagon in which
the laundry is delivered about the
Soho district of London.
Nadyne Montgomery, tho clever
English character actress who has
played in a number of Eastern pro-
ductions, but who more recently has
appeared at the Little Theater in Los
Angeles, has a splendid part as one
of the girls in the laundry who is
rather skeptical of Amanda's. aristo-
cratic lineage. Miss Montgomery, be-
ing a fluent linguist, also acts as in
terpreter for, Nine. Dione.
One Of the principal members of the
| organization, but who is entirely new
to the Aim world. Is Lavender. tn.
woe-begone nag which pulls the laun-
dry wagon. Lavender was selected
out OF some two hundred applicants
for the position, being the most di-
lapidated specimen OF horse flesh ever
seen around any studio.
The scenario of "Suds" was adapt
ed from Charles Froham's production n
of Frederick Fem and Richard
Pryces play. "'Op o. Me Thumb" in
which Maude Adams scored such q
triumph
