writing his-and her-profession. He and she-is distinct from others in the general layout of movie produc- ton. Companies in the market for original scripts require no more than a lucid synopsis of a story-there is no necessity for the amateur author to try his hand at scenariozing his story But all this is another story.
 The Publicity End.
 Still another department in which women have succeeded is that of pub licity. Publicity, in the motion-pic- ture business, is an important and highly-specialized element, and wo- men have definitely impressed them selves on producers as excellent press agents Much of the movie criticism in newspapers-the great proportion is handled by women, also.
 Many of the women screen authors co-operte greatly in the scenarioiza- ton of their themes, and in specific cases such as Mrs. Atherton or Mrs. Rinehart, participate more or less ac- lively in the picturization. From all of which may be gathered that woman's place in the films is any thing but a relegated one. From the standpoint of success, it might even be said that woman's place is in the films-on screen or behind screen. There seems to be plenty of oppor- tunity for the aspiring Noras of the world.

WOMAN'S PLACE
An Eloquent Record of Woman's Accomplishments
 In Movie Making World
By MAYER.


 Ever since Nora shook the china dishes and toy furniture in her DolGs- House as she slammed the door-one of the most momentous exits in liter ature-woman's place has been doubt ful, disturbed and argued about. That is, the men argued and the women kept on slamming the door, and proceeding to fields of action which heretofore have been restricted to the common or male denominator. And one of the fields which they, the ladies, have invaded with significant success is that most modern of coun- tries, Shadowland.
 Nor am I referring to the numerous blonde and brunette stars who have conquered in this fair land, where the Kaiser totally failed to make even a decent impression. I am referring to the part which the feminine gender has made for itself-herself-in the actual creative background of the in dustrial art of motion-pictures. It is not generally known that women are playing increasingly important role behind the screen roles and contri- outing to the literature and technique of the movies.
 Women Writers.
 In a bulletin issued by the Goldwyn Pictures Corporation are the names of Mary Roberts Rinehart, Gertrude Atherton, Alice Duer Miller, Katha- rine Newlin Burt, Anzia Yezierska and 61Ca w clIndn, dl1 Ol lHeHl COAlI1Dut- ing original stories to the screen. Mrs. Atherton and Mrs. Rinehart are mem bers of the Eminent Authors organ ization. Mrs. Burt's ''The Branding Iron" and ''Snowblind' have been sue cessfully picturized, and now she is engaged on her first direct screen theme. Rita Weiman is well-known through her play t"The Acquittal," and her short stories, and has written a photoplay for Goldwyn called ''The Grim Comedian
 Alice Duer MiIler's connection with the films-like Mrs. Burt she is now engaged on an original screen theme is particularly opposite to the refer ences to that famous thing, "women's rights,'' for Mrs. Miller was one of enfranchise the weak but intelligent sex of America.
 Producers, Too.
 The important place which women are establishing for themselves as authors for the silent drama is cor related to still another group of women who are establishing them selves in other departments of the creative end of the. movies Thus much of the editorial work in con- nection with the new medium is done by woman. A great majority of the "readers''-those who select possible movie themes from the great mass of novels, plays, magazines, and original ideas submitted-are women In some cases, women head the reading de- partment. In other cases, women stars have succeeded as producers or directors of their own pictures. | Women are also figuring gracefully | in the making of contlnulueS, of which, like the making of books, there | is no end. Continuity" is the tech | nicaI word for scenario, that is, the story related in consequent scenes l There is a distinct misconception in l the public mind incidentally, in the | relation of the author and continuity writer. The latter makes scenario

Movie stuff!
 How many times have you heard this remark from patrons on leaving the theatre?
 I believe capable critics will join me in the statement that the time is here when movie stuff'' should be eliminated from the screen.
 In my opinion, one way of com batting the foreign invasion of pie lures that are in themselves artistic achievements is not to bar them from the country, but to eliminate the weaknesses of our own pictures. The chief weakness-to my mind-is this movie stun' we hear so much about.

 If there is no reason for the punch" it's strength is immediately awakened, no matter how thrilling the situation itself may be. There is too much criticism evident today against the unnatural tendencies of motion picture plots.

 My faith in Jim restored. I could concede to myself that Uncle Ned hadn't heard the final words of the haH-whispered sentence in which I complained of his taking Jim away son my birthday.
 Suddenly I realized that in my un- reasoning price I'd probably hurt the phone and called my brother. And a fate which had relented len- tirely in my behalf let me find Neal at home. After I had thanked him for his wonderful gift. I blurted out the truth about Jim's absence from the city.

In the oIden days of motion pictures director would believe it -infpossi- ble to photograph snow scene if, for instance, there were no snow. Hundreds of dollars were spent taking companies of players on long loca- tion trips away from the studio to get desired scenery and effects and few years ago no producer would ever think of making a play with snow scenes in the summer time.
 Now, however, the modern science of picture-making has made possible getting effects by mechanical means. For instance. a process of getting the illusion of a snowstorm by using clipped .boraX has just been devised by John Griffith Wray, who devised play, Hail the Woman"

One of the latest fashion ten- dencies is to have the lines of ones frock harmonize with ones style of hair dressing, as is strikingly exemplified in the picture given above of Mary Thurman, leading woman with Roscoe Arbuckle in the Paramount picture, Should a Man Marry?''
 Miss Thurman developed this latest idea by having the trimming of white taffeta ruffles on her net dress follow the conventional sharp outline of her bobbed hair. She carried this idea out further with billowy taffeta sleeves and roll back collar. The blouse is drawn snugly about the figure and is edged at the waist with a broader taffeta ruffle, which is supported by a panel of the same material The slippers are of bucksHn.

SOME HARMFUL HABITS.
By EDNA KENT FORBES.

One woman said once upon a time that when she considered the mum Der of dangers that children ran into every day, she wondered that any of. them ever grew up. It is the same way about good looks. And when one considers the number of harmful habits that people acquire, one wonders that any of them are good looking at all.
 A very common bad habit is that of biting off the thread while sew ing which injures~the nerves of the teeth and is quite apt to cause them to die and the teeth to come out. Wherever a tooth has been taken out, the hollow gum goes in and the face actually sinks in a little at this place. Follows and wrinkles are bound to come.
 Children acquire nervous habits of pulling or playing with the nose or ears. It does not matter much if the ears are too large, for wo- man can always cover them up with her hair, but a deformed nose spoils full face and profile.
 The frowning habit is the common est one of all and the most stub bornly persisted in, although it is the easiest one to cure. Browning brings on early wrinkles, spells the forehead and often the eyes and by mouth makes one look old and un happy.
 squinting the eyes is a bad habit
 
 young, but which will induce all sorts of wrinkles around the eyes when one is older.
 Sitting with the legs crossed is an other bad habit because it uncon- scious1y induces a slouchy position, hollow chest and round shoulders.

ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
By BEATRICE TARTAN.
To Keep a Friendship.

To Keep Friendship.
 Dear Miss Fairfax:
 I am 19 and going about with a man of 23 whom I met five months ago. We are always together and our friends seem to understand that we are engaged But it is not so We recently came to an understanajng that We are going out as friends He says he cares for my Friendship and I am his only girl friend while I in the meantime am learning to care for him. What can I do not to show my feelings? I do not want to refuse his invitations HELEN
 What you really mean is: How can l make him fall in love with me ?p Y ou probably can't work any better magic than that of proving yourself a fine, reliable friend. The liking the man has for you, plus the habit of being with you and coming to depend on your understanding and tender ness are likely to cause him to care as you do if you don't spoil it by trying to rush matters. You can control your feelings if you desire, and YOU needn't consider anything so radical as cutting yourself off from the friendship you can enjoy and foster,
