His widow and a son Walter Emery, OF

night Of his fathers illness, but the
first train he could take from New

TIME TO UNFROCK
THE ADAMS APPLE

The gentleman who now desires to
affect the beatific appearance of a
mule gazing over a whitewashed fence,
must pay 30 cents for the swhitewashed
fence" The two-bit linen collar, which
nearly knocked the wind out of the

has now gone the way of five-cent
fares, John Barleycorn, the dodo and
the dinosaurs. "Lenen collars, 30
~cents!" What would our grandfathers.
who used to buy a first rate paper col
lar for one cent, say to this latest
atrocity in haberdashery? Shall we
continue to laugh at the rubber collar,
or shall we get a sponge and lay in
a stock of 'em?
But this doth not end the mournful
tale. The local haberdashers say that
it is more than probable the price will
advance to IS cents or three for 81
within a month. Then look out for the
nude Adams apple and the Lord Byron
effect.

MUSIC GREAT HELP FOR ACTORS WHILE CAMERA
 GRINDS OUT DRAMA

Although it is known as t'the silent drama" the value of certain kinds of music in helping actors to portray different emotions, has astonished di- rectors. Plaintive music will aid a player in depicting sad scene; a gay tune puts the entire company in a jolly mood, so the musical director at Universal has the entire musical 'cata- logue indexed as to it's adaptability to every possible dramatic situation.
 While nearly all the leading motion picture producers have come to req lize this value of music as an accom- paniment to the action when filming a scene, the Universal has gone a step farther in it's effort to put the play CTS in the proper atmospheric mood when the director shouts "cameran
 At Universia1 City the plan has now been adapted of costuming <the or chestra in harmony with the character of story that is being filmed. In a Western story, for instance, the musi- cians will be made up as cowboys. In a society photodrama there will be an orchestra in evening clothes. This, according to the Universal directors, makes for harmonious atmosphere and prevents 8 discordant note from destroying the illusion the man with the magophone tries to create.
 In the audible theatre the orches- tra is seated in the pit and is more or less out of range of vision of the players, but in making a motion pie ture the orchestra is usually seated just behind the camera. The incon- gruous effect is neutra1ized by the musicians being costumed so as to be ''in the picture"

Get Acquainted With William Farnum
 Off the Stage

William Farnum conserves every ounce of his strength and brain pow CT while he is working in a motion picture. The famous Fox star has a system which he follows to the letter. He goes home early in the evening, has 8 hearty dinner, then walks for about an hour-sometimes accompa- nied by his little daughter.
 Saturday night he spends at his club. William Farnum loves to talk to men who are doing pig things in his profession. And no more popu- lar conversationa1ist makes his ap- pearance at the F,riar's club than the screen star.
 William Farnum needs to conserve his strength of body end brain. In all his pictures he is called upon to do much work that requires strength and endurance. His fights on the screen are always real fights, for he believes firmly in realism.
 His chief hobby when he is not working is his fine estate at Sag liar bor, Long Island. A great lover of the outdoors, the Fox star finds ann pie opportunity to do those things for which he is acted in the world of sports-boating and fishing. Will liam F'arnum never is happier than when he is close to nature. This ac- counts for the fact that he always is in perfect trim physically.

EMPIRE.

'Wanted-A HuSband''
 Would you answer an ad like that? Probably you would if you were young and single and knew that the person desiring the life partner were mono other than pretty Billie Burke. Of course, most of us know that Miss Burke is happily married to MT FIorenz Ziegfeld, of FoI1ies fame. 'fWanted-A Rusband'' is just the name of her new photoplay, which will be on view at the Empire theatre today.
 The reason Billie wants a husband in the films is that her two girl com panfons in her New York studio apart 1nent have each acquired one. She is the ugly duckling'' of the ensemble a slovenIy girl who is the butt of all their jokes. But finally their taunts get her dander up, and she not only goes through @ course of training and makes herself a raying beauty, but acquires a handsome young man, first as an iInproyised fance and later as a. real one. James L. Crane is the lucky fellow, and Kid Broad, the ex- pugiIsst, has one of the chief roles. l. is a Paramount Aircraft picture.

FREAK ACCIDENT

What probably was the most pecu- liar accident in connection with the filming of a picture occurred when an animal comedy, starring the edu- cated orang-outang, was being made.
 One of the scenes in the comedy shows the air gendarmes of Paris flying in pursuit of a band of Apaches who have robbed royal visitor to the French capitol. The flights were made on a windy day, and on round ing the top of a hill not far from Universal City the wings of the plane became entangled in telegraph pole and the machine hung suspended in mid air.
 Waldo Waldron, one of the actors fell to the ground, but escaped with a few bruises. The other three pas sengers descended to the ground by climbing down the pole. But not one of the hundreds who saw the plane before it was extricated from it's po- sition could explain by what freak of circumstances the machine hap pened to balance in such a peculiar position.

The Kind of
 Comedies I Want
By Constance Ta.lman;ge.

Although no less than sixty manu- scripts are submitted to me every week, it is exceedingly difficult to get exactly the kind of comedy I espe- cially want. Very few writers have the delft pen of John Emerson and Anita Loose. want comedies of manners, comedies that are funny be- cause they delight one's sense of what is ridiculously human in the way of little everyday commonplace foibles and frailties-subt1e comedies, not comedies of the slapstick variety. want comedies chiefly because I en- joy making people laugh, secondly because this type of work comes easi- est and most naturally to me. I am not a highly emotional type. My sis ter would cry real tears over two sofa cushions stuffed into a long dress and white lace cap, to look like a dead baby, and she would do it so con- vincingly that 900 people out front, would weep with her. That is real art, but my kind of talent would lead me to bounce that padded baby up and down my knee with absurd grimaces that would make the same 300 people roar with laughter. You see in my way, I take my work quite as seriously as my sister does hers,---I would be just as in earnest about making the baby seem ridiculous, as she would about making it seem real. That, I think, is the secret of being funny on the speaking stage, as well as on the screen. One has to be seri- ous in ones 1eVity. This gives the whole distinction between being fun ny and being silly. I am not fitted to be a vamp type. There is nothing al1uring, or exotic, or erotic, or neu- rotic, about me I could not pull the Theda Bara stuff to save my life, but if I am assigned a vainp role in a comedy, and I will have such a part in my fourth First National picture, 'In Search of a Sinner" I play it with all the seriousness and earnest ness and sincerity, with which Miss Bara would play it, except that I, of course, over emphasize all the char acteristicS of the vampire. '1 try to handle comedy role much the same way that a cartoonist handles his pen cils. If he is drawing a picture of the late Theodore Roosevelt, with a few strokes he emphasizes Teddy's eye glasses and teeth, leaving his ears and nostrils, and the lines of his face great deal to the imagination on the screen, because in the span Of one short hour, we sometimes have to develop a character from girIhood to womanhood through three marriages and two divorces, and perhaps travel half way round the world besides, so, like the cartoonist, I strive to enpha- size the salient characteristic, which of course in my particular work, bring out the humorous side of the person I am portraying.

Vast Difference Between American
 and Polish Stage

Americas 1avishness and ability to entertain today Is even more than a revelation to an actress who is a1- ready a star and who is the idol of her own nation. She is Mime. Halina BruZovna, the Polish star who re- gently arrived in America after hav- ing served as nurse in the war. She came to America for two purposes, to win recognition on the American stage and to study the American .peo- pie and their customs. While study ing the English language she is to appear in the leading role of ''The Faded Butterfly Mime. BruZovna was more than surprised to learn that beauty was one of the principal as sets for making a reputation on the screens of America. American audi ences demand beauty as well as tal- ent, but in Poland and Russia dra- matic talent is considered above all else.
