Directors Now Allow
Stars More Initiative

Ethel Clayton, the pretty screen
fsvorlte, is OF the opinion that one of
the greatest advances made In the
movies In recent years Is the en-
larged opportunity offered to stars
TO use their own initiative In acting
before the camera.
"In the old days" explained Miss
Clayton, "many OF the stars were
mere manikins. The producers were
concerned only with good looks and a
little drdmatic ability But the di-
rector would supply the brains TO n
large extent, Walk In this door he
would order, There's Jack. You
haven't sen him for two years. Kiss
him. Smile. Now break down and

through your tears. Kiss him again.

knew the exploits of Jim Hawkins
like a book. Boys in the period OF
the Stevenson story wore their hair
long, so there was no trouble on that
score. Miss Mason quickly proved
herself a sturdy Jim, ready to take
strenuous part in the rough and

quired and not wincing under hard

the delights OF this remarkable pho-

That the picture has made a most
profound impression on ~. public
OF Washington cannot be gainsaid.
H. o. Davis and the members OF
his company worked on the produc-
ton for a period of over nine months.
IL Is evident that Mr.. Davis carefully
considered each and every actors Mt

before he engaged his cast, and so
sound has-been his judgment that in
looking Mt the picture one feels that
there IL unfolded before ones eyek a

Babs arrives at certain formulae
involving the love-making science,
for which she will either talk or fight.
One of her pet theories Is the fact
that when a person Is in love. upon
holding the hand of the lover. his
checks viii take on n scarlet blush,
his heart will syncopate and his pulse
will accelerate. Well and good, so
far as theory goes. but when Bah dis
covers that all males act this way
when she holds their hands--well, the
results OF this discovery must be seen
in the picture to be thoroughly ap-
preciated.
