he and his friend court a bootlegger

mob suddenly seizes upon the re-
former, who is now clad in Jimmie's 8

1t was then that the biggest surprise
of the whole affair occurred.
From it's lips came the sound OF
Bull" Montana's voice.
Hey. what's the idea?" he asked,
Don't you know me in this makeup"
Tie secret was out and as the re-
lieved fellow members of Montana
gathered about him they realized that
he had produced the greatest classic
of makeup in the history of motion
pictures. Bull then explained to
the astonished group its intricacies.
A double set of celIuloid fangs were
fitted over Montana's teeth-the same
idea as the toy Roosevelt or Teddy
teeth" of a few years ago. The fiat
nose of the ape and the low hanging
bags of flesh under the eyes were
made with putty. Then the ears were
drawn down by silk thread fastened
to them with surgeons plaster and
an apes wig fitted over the threads.
Next Mr.. Montana changed the con-
tour of his body, through padding 10
resemble that of the ape and over II
all placed a covering of long coarse
hair. This completed the makeup
but that was only the beginning OF
the characterization.
The actor next had to learn how
to walk and pose like the original
and to assume the flendish facial eN-
pressions. This he did by assiduous
study of the apes in the local zoo and
from practice before his mirror.
At the end OF two weeks he had
every gesture OF the original down
pat. 1t was then that he slipped
into his dressing room hours before
the rest of the company arrived and
assumed the character.
1t actually required three hours to
put on this makeup but Montana
was repaid by having II accredited
the greatest creation OF any part ever
produced either on the spoken stage
or the screen.

rather robust elderly man who had
left me 50 dramatically TO go TO

and then checked herself, evid emily
remembering her rebuff concerning
Kato.
I'm sure that it will" my father
answered. THE grounds of both
places are so hidden from the
street that it is impossible for any
one from the outside TO detect our
crossing from one house TO the
other. And there is no one in either
house who cannot be trusted TO keep
quiet, is there? You see no one but
ourselves need know our relation.
And the rest OF the PEOPLE in your
home can be told we are detectives
in search of the burglars wro have
been infesting the South Shore late
ly, and can be impressed with the
penalties for careless speech we
might be able to infict"
Lillian and I stole a panic
stricken glace at each other. I
think the same thought came 10 us
at once, the suspicion that my faith
er's terrible experiences had weak
ened somewhat the wise judgment
the canny precautions that had
been his.
I reviewed quickly the members
of my household, knowing that my
father was waiting for an answer
