the camera or on the stage.
But his appetite for realism was
thoroughly satiated recently. ''''.
1t was while working in his third
Associated First National picture, a
comedy, "'The Great Adventure" ;" that
his craving was satisfied. ....
Even the strenuous fire and mtro~r
scenes of "The Devils Garden" his
preceding vehicle were not in the max
ing as genuinely strenuous for Lionel
the star, as several scenes which were
taken for THE Great Adventure, !"
which comes to the Stanley. '.'

IMPROVING the gracefulness of the
i human body through the taking of
delsarte or elocution lessons has
long been recognized rs being founded
on sound basic principle; and now
come teachers who advocate the learn

attempt to express-and by SO doing
undergo experiences that give them a
broader understanding of the whole
