If the camera could pick up all
there is of the external personality
of some of the female stars the fans
would find much more to admire
and adore than they find in the
black and white shadows that pass
before them on the screen. Most of
the stars can act and most of them
have beautiful lines OF face and
form, but the great beauty of many
of them is color and this they lose
on the screen.
Color of eyes and hair and tint of
complexion has much to do with
beauty in the abstract and when
taken away not much is left in some
cases 1t takes sure erough
beauty to impress herself upon the
camera when color is thrown away.

artistic Titles
Increase Beauty
OF Word Picture

From snow-cspped mountain
peaks that pierce the clouds an opal
escent stream OF water tumbled nois-
lily into the valley like bridal
veil"
That might be the opening title
OF a photodrama flashed upon the
screen in conventional type. The
poetic description itself might please
YOU, but let us visualize the letters
gradually fading out on the screen
and blending almost imperceptibly
into A magnificent view Of the very
mountain peak as it sends forth a
swirling torrent to baptize the multi
'coiored peaks. How much more et-
fective is the title!
Making titles which describe pic
torially the words, is the function OF
the art title department at any large
studio-ju.t one of the departments,
which contribute so much to the
artistry of production.
Let US assume that a sequence OF
photodrama deals with the teemng
rush OF a great city at nightfall. The
title. as projected on the screen,
might read:
Among those thousands who
wcarily take their homeward way
when the factories pour forth their
human cogs was Sally Simper.'
1t would be obviously wrong to
show a peaceful valley or our water
fall for that title. =,
Instead, Elmer f. Shelley, head
OF the art title department at uni-
versal City, would take camera
man TO the industrial district and
record, with soft focus and the ro-
mantle diffusion of modern photog-
raphy. the gaunt skyline of the fac
tory belt; shadow stocks standing
out bleakly against cold gray sky;
a wisp of smoke trailing suddenly
over the city. To better get over"
the idea of closing time he might
include in his panorama the plume
of steam that leaps from the whistle
when it shrieks the days end.
No matter how artistic an art title,
it must not be allowed to violate or
encroach upon the sacred precinct
OF tho director. 1t must never be
more than misty background for
the printed word of the title; yet,
in fash. it must prepare the spec
tator for the action that is to tol- |
low, give him a clearer understand
ing of the title which may be so
"gummed up with poetry as to be
obscure, and put him in complete
psychological sympathy with poor
little Sally Simper whom he will
next sec leaving the unsavory factory.
One might reasonably ask:
If Shcely uses his film photograph
ing the factory, how is he going to
set the printed words into the same
picture?
That is one of the things that !
concerned in the making OF
motion pictures can explain in eight
or 10000 words, most OF which can
rot even be pronounced.
Actually Archer makes the photo
graph of the factory on all of the
film except a little rectangle in the
exact center. That is covered with
a small mask. Before he develops the
picture of the factory he will photo
graph a card upon which the title is
printed and the letters will just ex-
actly occupy the spsc, left vacant
for the purpose by the mask,
OF course there arc variations OF
this such as double and triple eS-
posures and fades and dissolves and
irises and all the other tricks known
to animated photography; but the
usual way is described i'll the lore
going.

ARIZONA TAXATION
PLAN OF INTEREST
AT MINE CONGRESS-

At MINE CONGRESS
PHOENIX. Oct 25.-in that it is
vitality different the Arizona method
of mine taxation held the center OF
interest when the matter was discuss
ed at the recent convention of the
American Mining Congress. held in
Chicago according to Charles r.
Howe. chairman of the state tax com
mission
One of the sessions was given over
entirely to the methods OF taxation
and valuation. Arizona being the only
state to arrive at value on the basis
of capitalization of the annual average
over a period of five years.
/ While the congress had hoped to
arrive at 4 uniform system OF mine
taxation, il was agreed by the mem
bers after lengthy discussions that
each state must continue to devise a
system satisfactory to its needs
In speaking of the different tax
policies. Mr.. Howe said that Mime
sofa with its iron mines arrives at val
uations by physical appraisement Of
the ore bodies. which are all very well
defined. making the exact tonnage
readily ascertained The Michigan
policy is worked out on the basis of
80 per cent of the market value as
the tax levy applies. while the Utah
plan is three times the annual net pro-
ceeds plus the value of machinry and
equipment.
An interesting development OF the
session in the opinion OF Mr. Howe
was the case of Minnesota. where the
total assessed value of all the mines
was announced at 1926. 000, 900. and on
this valuation the mines in 1921 paid
in taxes S25.0OO.000. whereas in Ari-
IONA with a tital valuation OF slightly
over S400.0O0.000. the mines paid a
little less than ss.0o00O0
In Michigan the situation is differ
ent. Mr.. Howe stated. The mines
there are assessed by the authorities
OF the county wherein the mine is
situated and not by state officials In
the county the assessing officials are
also mining officials. the result being
that the amount of money needed TO
run the local government all being paid
by the mines it makes little difference
as to the amount of the valuation.
This. however. was regarded as bad
method in the stimation of the con.
ference in view that by this system
the stock might be high one year and
low the next, whereas tne Arizona poi
icy spreading over 4 number Of years
equalizes in tax.
Mr. Howe said that number OF
well known AriZonans attended the
session. including among others Jas
Douglas. United Verde Extension: J
+. Curry Of Bisbee. secretary of the
Arizona Chapter. American Mining
Congress: T. +. McGrath OF the Shat
tuck mine; Arthur hoffman of tbs
