SHOWS FILMS OF PIGNfIES.
National Geographic Society Gets First
View of Big Paramount Feature.

Members of the National Geo.
graphic society at Washington had the
privilege last week of seeing for the
first time on any screen the first mo-
ton pictures ever taken of the pygmy
tribe of the African Congo, when DR..
Leonard John Vandenbergh, mission
airy and explorer, who headed the
unt-Vandenbergh expedition
into Central Africa, addressed the So
ciety at the invitation of its officers,
an honor accorded him because of the
wealth of accurate scientific data
brought from the continent of which
SO little is known.
Doctor Vandenbergh brought back
from Africa $4,000 feet of motion pic
ture film, the best of which will be
shown as a Paramount feature soon.
Altho this Mambuti tribe of pygmies
have been known to exist since 1866
B. c., they have never before been
photographed in their native haunts in
the Congo forest into the recesses of
which they flee at the approach of a
stranger.

At the Grand.

"Frivolities of 1920" the G. NJ. An
derson revue which descends upon
the Grand Monday; November 20, is
said to be the radium of musical mix
ups. It is the kind of a show that
makes the most confirmed theatrical
skeptics sit out on the edge of their
seat and forget. for the moment, the
iniquities of the eighteenth amend
ment.
"Frivolities" is dappled with beauty
shot with speed and splashed with
color, and it is chaperoned by a corps
of fun and beauty experts such as are
but infrequently assembled under one
amusement banner. Some notion of
the immensely of the production may
be gained from the announcement
that the revue has a company of sew
enty-five, that it is in nineteen scenes,
and that four baggage cars are neces-
sary to transport the frivolous aggre-
cation and its frills and furbelows to
this city.

and while it is hardly necessary to go
into detail regarding the standing and

still a young man, he has had the rare
advantage of reaching the top rung
in the ladder of fame as single en-

Talking Officially.

AIM TO ELIMINATE TITLES
Producers Want the Pictures to

Actors Look After Their '1Look-

BY WAYNE wINGART.


Drink to me only with thine eyes,
When old Ben Jonson penned that line
years ago he had no thought of mo-
ton pictures but nevertheless he
struck the keynote of the rapidly de-
veloping amusement industry of to-
day. Directors direct from the eye,
with their eye on the players and
camera, and with the idea of how
scenes will look to the eyes in the
audience.
1.-THE eye is the center of everything
in a picture" said Eddie Dillon, one
of the popular directors of the Famous
Players-Lasky company in New York.
resses have when working, before a
camera. On the stage the actors
voice aids him but in pictures he must
depend entirely on eyes and action.
Art in Actors Eyes.
Sincerity of expression is the first
requisite. You know when you talk
to a man and he looks you square in
the eye you can believe in him. Well
the same quality must predominant in
the eyes of the motion picture actor.
Soulful eyes do not usually show much
expression. Give me the clear-cut eye
with snap, which shows alertness of
mind and body and you can register
any kind of emotion
To illustrate his point Mr.. Dillon
named several well known motion pic
ture stars His list included Dorothy
Dalton, Billie Burke, John Barrymore
Charlie Chaplin, Mae Murray, Mary
Pickford and numerous others In
fact the stardom achieved by all &C
tors in pictures is due principally to
their eyes.
Thought is expressed most effec-
lively thru the eyes" Mr.. Dillon went
on. ''Pathos, humor. fear. happiness
jealousy-al the emotions can be
shown clearly by the expression of the
eye and when they are shownfin that
way produce far greater effect than
body action. All the wringing of
hands and the tearing of hair will not
show anguish unless the eyes tell of
deeper feeling. Thoughts of the mind
are reflexed in the eye.
Talk With Optics.
with the combination of the eye
and pantomime the entire action of a
story can be told. If you ever have
noticed screen actors closely you have
seen that most of their talking is done
with the eyes. You can ask a question
with certain look: give a command
or tell of love and hate just by the ex-
preston of the eyes. With effective
eye action most of the dialogue in pic
lures can be eliminated and the mod
ern tendency in making film stories is
to depend more and more upon the

Salvatore de Stcfano, Harpist, and
Renato ZaneIli Combine Programs.

RenatO Lanel1 COMBINE 1FOSrdAhS.
A double concert recital is offered as
the next of the Topeka Concert Course
numbers at the Auditorium Friday,
December 3. This is the announce
ment of Prof. Henry Dotterweich
manager of the course. 1t is seldom
that two artists of such equal merit
appear in conjunction as Salvatore de
Stefano. harpist and Renato ZanelH,
Chilean baritone.
1t is only comparatively recently
that the harp has been taken SER
iously as a medium for musical eX-
preston and it is to see the harp &C
corded what he considers its proper
position, that is the ideal of de Stefano,
who declares that while many ladies
study the harp for the sole reason of
displaying their lovely arms, there is
much music now being composed es-
pecially adaptable to or written es-
pecially for the harp.
Zanelli is one of the youngest oper-
attic singers now on concert tours of
the country. The real evidence of his
popularity is the fact that there is
great demand on the part of the pub
lie for his talking machine records.
His Sunday concerts at the Metropoli-
tan Grand Opera house have been
hailed as great successes by the New
York press. His voice is one of re-
1narkable beauty and fleXibility. He
has a wonderful stage presence which
has added greatly to his popularity.

President-elect Warren G. Harding

The galaxy of stars who provided the
entertainment for him included Lionel

Shortly before the Parismina of the

productions of these stars were rushed

"Old Dad" starring Mildred Harris;
THE Braided Woman" starring
Norma Talmadge, and Dangerous

The Parismina was not supplied
with motion picture projection equip

a portable protector which throws a
picture on the screen about by feet
in size.
