NEEDLESS to say, beauty and
~ character are the characteristics in
demand in the films, as everywhere else.
The curious fact is that faces which,
in real life, possess great beauty or
deep character, frequently fail to carry
this across to the camera.
The chief reason for this lies in the
fact that the camera does not accept
color values, and at the same time ac-
centuates many defects which are Ordi =
parily imperceptible to the eye.
For example, a wonderful type OF
Italian beauty appeared at our studio
while we were casting n picture called
"Wife Insurance. She had never be-
fore appeared in motion pictures, and
our casting director was quick to seize
the opportunity to make test of her
face.
When the picture was shown. her ex-
traordinarily fine COlOring, of course,
went for nothing and her beauty was
entirely marred by the inexplicablc ap-
pearance of fine down over her upper
lip and large mole on her left temple.
Both the mole and the down had been
entirely unnoticed in daylight, but un-
der the fierce mercury lights Of the stu
dio and the enlarging lenses they made
her face grotcsque.
To photograph well. the skin of the
face must be entirely smooth and un-
broken. The slightest eruption or blem
ish is visible on the screen. especially

vogue. The teeth must be perfect
