''I can see no reason why it should be necessary to do things so differ ent1y before the camera than they would be done in real life. I don't think anything that attracts a man under normal circumstances would be unnatural, or ,unconvincing be- fore the camera.
 "Still another thing that many people refuse to see is that extrava- gant movem ents, gestures and highly emotional scenes are undesifa Dle from the standpoint of the picture goer. It is becoming more and more evident that the camera can photo graph thought. I have seen some Of the most convincing emotional scenes put over solely by a slight facial movement, the lifting of an eyebrow the drawing of the lines of the mouth, or the twisting of ones hands-just would be the case if a normal person were passing through the same crisis in reality
 Real thought and study of ones part is the chief requisite of success on the screen. I can rem eInber the early pictures in which the most sue cessful stars were those who threw themselves about with the greatest "'' 7ndon.

Helene Chadwick says her part in her next picture is jus1 one change of dress after another. After spending days in shopping and in being fitted, she sat down and counted1 up the gowns she had to wear in the pie ture- and they came to thirty-four! When it is remembered that wraps hats unshades and all the other, ac- cessories of costume to go with the frocks had to be selected, it is little wonder that there were times when Miss Chadwick wished she were play Ing the part of a scullery maid or something of the kind.

Ever give a thought to the motion picture machine operator? He's the czar of the movie booth
 The operator can make the show go lover on the screen right or
 You've seen it both ways, no doubt.
 We'll, ask any movie fan what they think of bad lighting and un- steady projection.
 With the operator it's a plain case of "No operator-no show.'
 Of course-when a break occurs and the screen is left white for few moments-auGtences should take into consid deration the fact that it isn't always the fault of the monarch in the booth.
 Many times it is caused by bad, over-patched film.
 A ffrst-cIass operator usually goes over his reels; for the days show, before the matinee.
 But then. again-there are ope- tors and operators.
 We know some good ones-and others.

aries and other business.

to the commission was a petition

ulation than Bernalillo county and
tad but few prisoners. The law
provides that the sheriff shall have
actual cost, which shall in no case
exceed IS cents. According to
other bills that have been turned
in by Mr.. Garcia. he has been
been feeding the prisoners for
about so cents per day, the bill be-
ing payable every three months.
The petition was denied by the
commissioners.
Several petitions were presented
to the commissioners from prop
erty owners near the river asking
for an appropriation to cover the
cost of making bikes. and con-
structing other protection against
flood waters.
The commissioners decided to
enlarge the jail yard, utilizing
some of the newly acquired prop
crty for the purpose A high board
fence will be built around the jail
ward. thereby giving the prisoners
a chance for outdoor exercise.
plans were also made to build
n two-story vault addition to the
court house TO provide a storage
room for valuable records of the
district court and county assessors

ing the Jail yard for the storage

ROPER TO QUIT
AND END 4 LONG
PUBLIC CAREER
Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Announces Res
lgnation; Intends to Re-
turn to Private Life.

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiREl
Washington, Feb. 27,-Daniel c,
Roper, commissioner of internal
revenue, has informed Government
officials of his intention to resign
shortly. Although his formal res
ignation had not been received to-
night at the White House, the mat
ter of his successor is understood to
be under consideration.
Beyond the fact that he plans TO
return to private life, no informa-
ton as to the future plans of Mr.
Roper was available here tonight
as the commissioner was absent
from the city. The resignation,
however it was ascertained, will
not become effective for several
weeks, Mr. Roper having consented
to remain at the head OF the reve-
nue. bureau until after income tax
returns for the past year have been
filed and the collection of such
taxes, the first installment of which
is due March 49, is well under way,
In returning to private life, Nj.
Roper will end a long public career
as the administrator of the greatest
tax collection agency ever organ
lied, which last year gathered APP
proXimateIy $4,000, 100000 in gov
eminent revenues. He became
commissioner of internal revenue
in September, 1917, just as the war
emergency caused abnormal in
crease in all federal taxes and ne
cessitated the expansion of the bu-
reau from a small peace time af-
fair, concerned chiefly with i'm
posts on alcohol and tobacco, into
a tremendous machine reaching
into the pockets of millions of citi-
zens for increased income taxes,
and into the records of corpora
lions and partnerships.
Mr.. Ropel's bureau was given
the task of enforcing nation wide
prohibition by the Volstead en-
forcement act and he utilized the
personnel and machinery formerly
devoted to the collection Of excise
taxes to establish a prohibition en-
forcement section with branches in
every state.
