AN IMPORTANT CAMERA
 DISCOVERY IS MADE

Edwin Carewe, who is directing Anita Stewart has just made an inn portant photogra phic discovery which tends to do away with the photo graphing of the exterior of houses at night, or the coloring of film to get a night effect.
 The director has learned that by shooting an ordinary 'tstill'' picture of a house, enlarging it and then cutting out the windows and inserting lights behind them, that a more natural pie ture of the exterior of a house at night can be obtained.
 For several months Carewe has been experimenting along this line, and he has also found that pictures of dancers can be put behind the win dows and a beautiful silhouette effect is the result.
 This discovery means that a direc- tor can send to any place in the world, obtain a ''sti1r' picture of a certain house, and make a real nov ing picture night scene of the same house without ever leaving the studio.

was the special exhibition of the pie turiZation of the masterpiece of Vii cente Blasco nbanez, was an exclusive one. Among the few other guests besides President and Mrs. Harding were Attorney-General and Mrs Daugherty.
 So active was the Presidents eve ming that he could not. reach the Mo Lean residence until after the first two reels of the picture had been run; but so immensely interested was he that he asked the favor of a sec ond showing of the early part he had not witnessed. It was after l o'clock when he left for the White House.
 The comments of the President upon the pictures merit were dis 1nctly favorable; and those of the other guests no less so.
 The election excitement at Univer- sal City precipitated an argument between Priscilla Dean and a director who still believes that woman's place is in the home. In the heat of the wordy battle the director forgot his usual gslllantry and remarked: 'aThiS would be a great nation if it Esere not for the NOmen"
 ''Yes, it would,'' replied Priscilla bit sarcasticalIy, ga stagnation''

Two minds are better than one. That is one of several reasons why a director is important. No matter how good a comedian is, he will do better work with a director in whom he can have perfect confidence.
 Although all really successful com edians must understand directing and do co-directing, they would be mental wrecks if they tried to do it all con- tinually. The director, in his atten- ton to details, takes a great load off the comedians shoulders. He looks after coStuming, stage settings, 1oca- ton work. He is invaluable in tell ing the comedian if his work is '-get- ting over" A comedian may feel the scene thoroughly, but will not be sure if all he has put into it has come out. A good director will visualize a scene and can know quickly how a thing looks and whether it will get a laugh.
 In one-ree1 comedies, the director

Betty Compson will soon be work iDS in a lighthouse for her first star picture, At the End of the World, D which Penrhyn Stanlaws is directing. The lighthouse will be constructed somewhere on the most rugged part of the California Coast and many dra- natic incidents are to be staged there in.
 N1ontagu Love has been chosen to play the part of Col. Roger Ibbetson in Peter Ibbetson," costarring Elsie Ferguson and Wallace Reid. The part is the one Lionel Barrymore originat- ed in the stage play of the same name.
 Gloria Swanson is back in Hollywood from very brief vacation in con- SultatiOn with sam Wood, her direc- tor, regarding "The Shulamite.' Miss Swanson looks exceedingly well and is enthusiastic over the new picture as well as over E2linor Glyn's The Great Moment" which she has just completed.

 I suppose I might have picked it out for it's polka dots-they are in excellent style. In fact, the last few seasons have been the first in which I have been able to tolerate polka dots. Heretofore, they have always i'm pressed me as disgustingly middle aged and bourgeois, Perhaps it is be- cause we use them better and make the frocks on smarter lines, or com b:ne the dotted material with some tbfng contrastingly plain and pretty that like them now.
 Dark blue Swiss polka dotted with white in my little dress has been com bined with crisp white organdie, in knife pleated ruffles up and down the skirt, on the sleeves and neck
 The sash and little puff sleeves are organdie, too, and the fiehulike collar is of organdie, heavily embroidered in white by hand
 With it wear a huge, hoppy, sum mer hat, dark blue, too, and trimmed with lovely sprays of lily of the valley It seems to demand a picture hat, you know, and white kid slippers, French model, and white stockings Dark blue stockings and black pumps would be good, of course, but the white ones are much fresher and more attractive.
 After all, there is nothing so de- EghtuHy "Summery as organdie Swiss and voile, and, with so many new patterns in dark blues, hennas, grays, black and reds, they are en- tre1y practical, much more so than the wishwashy, light shades that used to be all one could buy.

One might say that I danced my .sseif into the movies. At the age of four made my debut on the sage, playing child part with Joseph Jeff mother was a well known emotional leading woman at the time-May Preston Dean. She had the leading role in Madame X' following Dor othy Donnelly, who created the role When I was 12 or 13 years old, I was standing in front of a, Broadway theatre talking with a friend when I was introduced to Philips Smalley, husband of Lois Weber. He asked me if would like to go into pictures. three productions. Then l went back to the stage, dancing for six months at the "F=ollies Bergere,'' now the Fulton Theatre, in New York. David W. Griffith saw me dance and asked me to dance in one of his pictures. That was my real start, for Mir. Griffith seemed to think I could act as well as dance. I then got a contract in California to star in one-reel comedies. After six appear with Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran.
 Lois Weber was seeking someone to play a "baby vamp'' in the prob lem play called Even As You And r. She finaly decided she must give
 me the part and it was she who took me into drama from comedy.
 The public seemed to like me in the picture so Universal decided to star me. That was two years ago Souled Woman My biggest success so far has been in "The Virgin of StambouP' but I believe that Out side the Law which I have just fin ished will eclipse them all

ITALIAN PICTURES SOON.

While in Rome during his recent trip abroad, arrangements were con- cluded by Samuel GoldWyn with the Unione Cinematograffca Italiana- known as the U. c. I.-whereby the greatest spectacles made by this com pany will be distributed in the United States by the Goldwyn Pictures Cor poration.
 The Goldwyn company is now malz- ing plans to release the first two great pictures of the group. The first one will Joe '"Theodora,' based upon Victorian Sardou's drama and picturized upon a vast scale. This picture has been two years in the making. It represents the pinnacle of achievement in the entire history of Italian film Iproduction; the cast contains ten thousand people and the complete field of Italian art has been combed to contribute to the pictur- ization of faTheodora."

is a11-important. The actors, usually. do not even know what the story is about.
 With the two-ree1er, it is a differ ent proposition. The comedian must work as hard as the director and know the piece in which he is to ap- pear, as well as the director. A great comedian would never get anywhere who does not understand all angles of directing Nevertheless. I alETys maintain two minds are better than one. I work in conference. There is always a running theme for story and we discuss it. When we dis agree, we hammer away until wc strike a happy medium
 Again, the director is important in that his advice will lend variety to pictures. A comedian could produce two or three pictures without direo- tion. Should he continue. he would be apt to proceed along the same lines and hence get into rut. So l couldn't over-emphaSize the impor- tance of the director.
