a series of peculiar levers in 8. locked room which only the Elect are allow ed to penetrate. And so with the movies-the idea has grown up that business and the new medium are divorced; that it is interesting to watch the filming of a scene, as it IS not interesting to see a shipping clerk make out a bill of lading- The and the people, as usual are right, for it is interesting to see a movie being filmed.
 To Many Visitors.
 That very fact furnishes enough vexations to the average studio man. ager to lead him to an early grave The desire to be courteous is strong, but equally strong is the desire to keep the studio grounds from being completely swamped with those who work. The Goldwyn studios in Cali fornia, the largest in the world. with a capacity of 50 acres have finally been forced to promulgate a rule which strictly limits the number of visitors allowed on the different "sets." Exceptions are naturally made in favor of distinguished men and women, but despite this, it is get ting harder, say. than it was avoiding mention of your name for the new Cabinet, to get into view of the Sacred Lense.
 Perhaps this is one reason why the calibre of the "extras' in pictures has changed much of late. Many old, middle-aged, and young men and women of good standing, in a social sense, now frequently serve in movie productions as extras and there is no doubt that this is partly due to- a desire to find out '-how it's done''- to pierce the vague secrets of motion picture making. In many eases, the only way for fappers and philoso- phers to pierce this secret ds to take part in a. "mob scene" and they do it.

BEAUTY CHATS
By EDNA KENT TORIES.
THE RICHNESS OF FUR.

IL. takes an unusually beautiful face 10 stand a. severe frame I mean by shls, that a hat of hard color and harsh outline would be fatal to any but an extraordinarily beautiful wom- an; that the style of hair dressing must be kept soft, except in very un- usual cases. and that the type of col lar IS always very important.
 Imagine, for instance how any homely woman of your acquaintance would look if she pulled her hair back from her face, added an ugly hat of brick dust colored felt and then wore high-necked black taffeta waist! l saw this hideousIy trying combination on a woman of 40 the other day; who really might have been good looking if she had only worn soft things around her face
 There are few things more becom- ing than fur Or velvet. The woman who pulls soft little hat of black velvet on to her head and rolls a collar of good-looking fur up to her chin, will have 99 chances out of 100 of being considered good-looking.
 One must, Of course, use a. certain amount of discrimination in choosing even fuss.
 Cheap imitation furs will probably be very trying. Long haired black fur such as fox, skunk. civet, lynx and monkey fur are all very becoming to either a young or an old face. Such soft-toned furs as nutria, beaver or seal are universally becoming, squir-
 
 White furs are impossible unless the woman has a very good complexion,
 But the color of fur is less impor- tant than the color of material, be- cause any fairly good TUT is bound to soften the outline of face and to give a rich effect that always i'm proves the appearance. Velvet does the same thing to a lesser extent. In choosing the velvet, quality must be taken into consideration because the lustre of velvet depends upon it's quality.

 be the meaning of this?'

 women with pasts, but I love to act, and the problem is how to be dra- matc though decent.
 Guilty of Love-" the picture fin ished a little while ago, nearly solved
 the problem The girl in it goes
 through experiences tragic enough to be able to act them, but through them all she keeps enough goodness and strength of character to hold the sympathy of most people. A part like this I like playing better than the unadulterated vampire, but I like even the vampire parts better than those of the girl whose whole range of emotions is expressed by smile and a pout-both becoming.
 Another part I know I shall enjoy I hope to play next fall on the stage and on the screen as well. It is a translation of a French play called, ''Montmartre." The girl of the art ist quarter in Paris goes through all the experiences of love and ambition and comes very near to tragedy; but she is fine enough in the end to come through only Scorched-
 In this, I hope to repeat my ex- perience of "Aphrodite," playing the part on the stage in the evening and making the moving picture during the day.

But it will be worth while to be able to see my self in the picture as others are sec ing me on the stage.
 Probably I shall be disappointed. There is never a picture of myself see that does not show me a hun dred things I have left undone and a hundred I ought not to have done I want all the time to improve and improve. Perfection is an unattain- able goal, but I never stop the effort to get everything a little better, my acting, my settings, my scenarios T read almost hundreds of books and plays every year in an effort to find something suitable. and out of all of them, perhaps I find four. Of the four, l select one; and then when have finished it after months of eff fort, you write to me and say: "Oh, please! Why on earth did you play in that?"
