\ HEALTH TALK.

Gee. I'm tired! If I only had a place to rest for half an hour!" How many times have you said this or heard others say it. The Turkish bath is the place for rest and for in vigOration when the heat of the day expresses.
 First, a nice super-heating that brings the sweat from the pores and takes the dirt and acid from the sys- tenn. Then a little steam to give lu- bricatiOn. Then a vigorous rubbing 2 by an expert to take away the dead skin, followed by a, needle-bath that makes the circulation function. Then a plunge into the big tank and rest among snow-wllite sheets. A short sleep if you will. or talk among reached the body is rested and the body is cooled for new conquest.

Hodge POage

Cosmopolitan Productions has pre- pared for fall release "Get-Rich- Quick WallingfOrd' adapted from the World-famOus stage success by Geo. NJ Conan. There is hardly a city or town in America that did not see COhan's great play, and as a result the characters of J. Rufus Walling ford and his partner in smooth dealing, 'tBlackie" Daw. are like old friends to men and women through said to transfer to the screen not only all of the clean, whoIesome hu- nor of the stage play, but adds many laughs that could not be composed within the comparatively restricted limits of the spoken drama.

The story of the reunion of Charlie Chaplin and his mother, whom he hadn't seen for nine years, is most pathetic one. The newspapers car~ ried the story of her arrival from England, but that was all.
 The real story is told by Joan Jor- dan in the July PhOtoplay Magazine:
 Tn the wide. bay window of a charming house on a hill in Holly wood, sits little gray-haired woman, with delicate old hands fold ed upon the open pages of her Bible. Every day, just as the sun is set ting behind the waving line of hills, a big, expensive motor draws up before the door.
 "A slender young man, in blue, jumps out and runs lightly up the broad, white steps.
 "A white-capped maid opens the heavy door.
 "Often the little gray haired woman rises from her seat in the window and takes a few faltering steps to meet the man in the door way of her drawing room. Almost always, now.

We Must Have Weather, Whether Or No!

George Randolph Chester is a lucky youth. He's not so youthful in years-he wrote his first Get Rich-Quick Wallingford" story a number of months ago. But he's al ways retained his youthful viewpoint

 "AlI the more water for the lake" said MT. Chester, but I don't think it will rain.''
 And it didn't Such dry times wore never experienced on the coast meteorologically speaking. MT. Vol stead didn't have a thing to do with it.
 Then the workmen started to build the big dam. Three hundred feet long; base, 30 feet; top, 12 feet; depth, 25 feet.
 "Calamity James, Active.
 Heaven help you if it starts to rain now!" said the members of the Worry club to him, comfortingly You'll be pronouncing the name of that dam a good many times. You'll simply have to keep your whole cast engaged. And that's a big cast, you know. Why, the expense will

Mildred Gets A Call!

Cecil B. DeMille and Mildred Har- ris met for the first time this week as director and actor.
 Thusly goes the tale in PhotopIay Magazine for July:
 Mir. DeMille called a meeting of the caste and the technical men, de- signers, writers, etc, in his office at eleven o'clock for the purpose of reading this script to them.
 At eleven o'clock everyone was there, except Miss Harris.
 MT. DeMille waited patiently for ten minutes, impatiently for another ten, and riotously for fifteen.
 A telephone call to the lady's home elicited the information that the act ress had left.
 At 11:46 Miss Harris, bright and smiling, walked in.
 Everything was very quiet MT. De- Mile slipped his cuff over his wrist watch and sat down. He motioned Miss Harris to a seat opposite him. Then, very politely he spoke as fol- lows:
 Miss Harris, for. eight years, I have been directing motion picture stars-some great, some small In those eight years you are the first person who has ever dared to be late

Ut won't rain,' said Mrs Chester, co-author and co-director of --The Son of Wallingford-"
 And it didn't.
 The dam and the sluice-gates and the boathouse 'n' everything were constructed. There wasn't any rain. The specially constructed pumps went on pouring 45,0O0 gallons of water every hour into the lake to cover the hourly seepage. In due time, the big scene was filmed for '"The Son of Wallingford.''
 \ Good Prophet.
 Tt can rain now, if it wants to. .' grinned the creator of Wallingford. Tn fact, I think it will"
 In just exactly twenty-four hours, MT Chester found himself a weather prophet in good standing.
 It did rain. It poured. It storm ed. The weather went on a noisy debauch. It flooded the lake. Part of the dam was torn away. This was Pacific coast caught it's biggest storm in 20 years. In a6 hours the con struction work of weeks for '"The Son of Wallingford'' was washed and torn and blown away.
 But by that time the lake scene had been safely steered into it's celluloid harbor. The last camera crank had been turned on the last scene. The negative of ''The Son of Wallingford" was speeding East, for editing and titling at Vitagraph's Brooklyn studio.

The We'll Dressed Woman
By NORMA TAIiMADGE Well Known Screen Star

HE success which the sleeveless
 A frock has achieved has inspired the designers of blouses with many interesting concepts especially suit able to this style of garment Ih1S mode is one which decidedly favOrs the girl with the limited allowance, for by clever selection of blouse and accessories she may ring many -hanges with the one foundation of well-made frocS of neutral color.
 It is true that in some instances these dresses are being worn with out sleeves at all by misguided would-be followers of fashions in New York, but they are mistaken, and the effect Is both freaklsh and ugly. The armholeS and necklines arc as lacking i'll finish as a severely tailored bathing suit, and certainly require the accompaniment Of collar and sleeves of contrasting material.
 For the sports models there are ratty tailored waists of Irish dimity, batiste and organdie, with collars of the round Peter Pan lines, or of the always popular square and Tuxedo fashion, and dainty cuffs finished with tiny rufHes, repeated on the collar. For the young girl these stitching as the only ornamentation. except, perhaps, a flowing tie of the color of the frock.
 Crepe de chine, silk and Georgette, are used for the more dressy sleeve less frocks which are fashioned of satin or woolen material, and with a dark blue, grey, green or black dress as a foundation, it is obvious that the illusion of a plea sanity va ried wardrobe IS easily maintained.
 The difference between these hlnnSeS and the reC151afior |, which we are now familiar, is that all the originality of trimming is confined to the parts which show, i. e., the sleeves. collar and front.

IN THE THEATRES
PLAZA.

A delightful picture in every re spect. Straight is the Way" was presented before an appreciative au- dience at the Plaza theatre yesterday. This is a. picturization of Ethel Watts Mumford's excellent story "The Man Hesitation of Henry Ort.' It is q satirical comedy drama based on the ouija board craze and the story is one of thrills, mystery and love. While Straight is the Way is a so- called -'crook'' picture. the crook ele- ment is so lightly done that there is nothing nelodramatic or depressing in the picture. Matt Moore and Gladys Leslie head a very capable cast Joe Donovan and his Flash light Girls presenting an entirely different tabloid scored just as big a hit as they did the first half. New costumes, scenery. songs and dances are evident and Donovan's comedy is exceedingly clever. A Day with Jack Dempsey has been held over as an extra added attraction.

Hundreds of playgoers who like Frank Mayo and the vigorous drama to which his screen personality seems particularly suited, will find their hero in a Hkable role at the Empire theatre where the star will make h:s first local appearance in "CoIorado."

TO THE
 LOVELORN
Afraid of the Truth.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Afraid of the Truth.
 Dear Miss Fairfax:
 About a year ago I met a young man whom I liked very much and who seemed to care for me a great deal. After seeing each other for a short time he suddenly left without explanation, and my efforts to get in touch with him were in vain. Re gently, through an invitation from a mutual friend, we met, and he was very attentive to me the entire even ir@, taking me home, and although I had decided that on my first oppor- tunity. of seeing him I would con vince myself what his reasons were for. leaving me so suddenly, I some how could not venture on such an unpleasant subject He has not asked to call on me again and I am heart broken. all my old liking for him hay ing been aroused. What shall I do?
 MARION.
 Either you must put the man out of your life and your mind, or you must find courage enough to ask him to tell you frankly why he seems so friendly one minute and so much in clined the next to slight that friend ship. How can I tell whether he's shy not interested, or in a position that precludes his letting himself drift into a real friendship with you? You can imagine anything you hke--but, if you want the truth. you must be honest enough to go after it.
