studio Of Famous Players. Lssky)
From the cameraman'S viewpoint,
screen beauty is highly difficult
thing to define Whether YOU will or
will not photograph well is matter
Of which no photographer can definitely
pass on without the aid Of a trial
shot" But there are certain clomen-
tai physical characteristics which help
or hinder. as the case may be.
Perhaps the first and most important
matter which engages the attention Of
the cameraman Is the color Of the can
didate's eyes. Dark eyes, whether
black brown or dark blue will pass
the camera test without difficulty.
Light gray or blue eyes area never
lending source of worry, Eyes of the
latter class do not pick up" as we
say. In other words, they photograph
white or nearly SO and the result on
the screen is "A disappointing lack of
expression,
Regular teeth from another important
requisite for screen beauty, as the
cameraman views It, Irregular teeth
mean endless camouflage on the part
Of the man behind the camera. He
must redouble his care on lighting IN
order to cover up this shortcoming in
his subject.

Philadelphia, May 2S.-Phila-

announces that public schools
here will compile their own lists

The spelling vocabulary taught
