KANE SPEAKS AT SCHOOL
Former Topekan, Now With Movies,
TaIks at High School.


At the high school assembly this
morning. very interesting talk was
made concerning the mysteries of
movieland by Arthur S. Kane, head of
the Arthur S. Kane Producing COM
pany. Mr.. Kane really needed but
little l. PRODUCTION to those present,
as from his talk it was learned that
he had attended the first high school
that Topeka boosted of when it was
held upstairs in the building behind
The State Journal building and thar
he also helped to organize the first
football team that ever fought for the
black and gold. He played the posi-
ton of quarter back and also held the
captaincy. The fact that his team was
a victorious one seemed to put him in
the same class with the football boys
on the platform.
Kane cited certain. incidents that he
had seen happen in the studios
while Mary Pickford or Charles Ray
was performing before the camera
that proved that they were really
human beings. with kindly heart in
stead of high salaried temperamental-
lists He added that actors are some
what like business men. those receiv-
ing the least money and of the least
Importance were the hardest to get
along with.
Following Kane's talk, r. r. Cook,
principal of the high school. presented
the high school honors. which are
given to the men who haye played in
at least ten quarters of the football
games during the past season or on ac-
count of some injury sustained were
able to play but a short time

and also those members of the second
team who were entitled to them re-
/, ceived a monogram.
In closing Cook complimented the
men on the platform for the way they
had trained and adhered I the rules
of the school and stated that the re-
suits of the games themselves were
ample proof of their zeal.

who aspires to stellar rank on the
silver screen.
Youth Is First.
Youth is the first requisite which a
girl star must possess, Kane said. And
he indicated that they must be caught
young-by young he means young. A
star should not be more than 20 years
of age when she starts to become a
star. and before then she should have
had some experience in movie acting,
Kane said.
Personality is the third essential,
Kane said. And by personality may
be meant charm, or the lack of it;
grace-or awkwardness. Then come
acting ability, willingness to work, and
willing ess to take direction
Very often, in the case of man
star it is awkwardness which makes
the reputation. Kane said. He pointed
out that a man may som etimeS be too
good an actor to be moving picture
star The man star must select, or
create. his type. and stick to it. The
actor who is able to run the whole
gamut of personalities doesn't get
away with the public, because they
don't know what to expect from them.
1t is more important for man to
keep a close grip on his technique than
to be able to feel his parts" and to
feel the emotions, which the charac ter
he is portraying is supposed to feel.

The Birth of a Nation netted its
producer more than 100000. and
some of the pictures which the pro-

netted profits of 100 per cent, Kane

State journal, entered the movie game

Youthful in Appearance.
In appearance he seems to fit very
well with the epithet by which he was

with good nature.

influence of the youthful star. who is

largely due to Ray himself, Kane said

his pictures.

"A lot of the high salaries that you

Placed Under Ban
Even Home Made Plum Puddin~s Can
not Have Alcoholic Flavoring, Gov
ernment Officers Declare.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The flavoring
of home made Christmas plum pud-
ding, mince meat and branded cher
ries and peaches with alcoholic spirits
is violation of the prohibition enforce
ment law and such foods are liable to
seizure, twas stated today at the bu-
reau of internal revenue.
Officials explained that under their
Interpretation of the enforcement act
culinary products in which alcohol is
an ingredient can be made only by
manufacturers of food products who
obtain a permit from the government
and that such products must contain
less than one-half of 1 per cent of
alcohol.
They also stated that the regulation
requires that. such products shall not
be used or sold on the premises, and
that this effectively barred the house
wife from making Christmas foods
with liquor in them. The regulations
specifically state that the permits shall
not be issued to hotels and restaurants.
Retailers do not have to have per-
mits to sell culinary products contain

manufacturers officials said.

If you will not eat the peels of fruits and
vegetables and the husks of grain so as to
get plenty of organic iron for your blood
as nature intended you should do, then you
must expect to suffer more or less from
iron starvation and all its attendant ills of
nervousness, weakness, pains and aches of
different sorts, or you must eat plenty of
carrots and baked apples and reinforce
them by taking a little organic iron like

take Is organic iron and not metallic iron
