TNHE other day we had a talk with
Ben Amsterdam and W. Il. Greene.
who represent the Masterpiece Film
Attractions in this city. The Master
piece firm is one of the largest in the
business and releases" the films Of
many Of the most prominent independ-
ent stars.
The object Of our talk was to see II
we couldn't get them TO help advertise
our winners nationally so as to bring
the girls TO the attention of producers
:nd directors who are doing the big
,hings in New York and California.
1t wouldn't do much good simply to
,end still" photographs TO these men.
Before they become interested in an
embryo star they want TO see how she
photographs in a studio with the artl-
fetal lights and the searching eye OF
the movie camera turned on her every
movement.
So this was the plan that we thought
best. IT will give to the three girls who
win the assurance that their photo
graphic and histrionic possibilities will
be brought to the attention of the pow
ers that be as we'll as the millions of
movie fans who crowd the theatres
all over the country.

WOMAN is BRANDED!
HERE'S HOW 1T
is DONE IN FILMS
WHEN an enterprislng writer for tn,

WHEN an enterprising writer for the
w motion pictures discovered that
cattle were not the only creatures that
we're branded by cowboys, but that oc-
casionally some evil spirit OF the plains
would, in a fit Of jealousy, brand the
woman he loved, the screen presented
this fact in II dramatic story.
Katherine Newlin Burt, who spends
her summers on Wyoming ranch
knew Of just SIch an incident and en-
bodied it in her thrilling novel, "Thc
branding Iron which was mndc into
Il motion picture by the Iioldwyn Go.
Among the many thrilling scenes was
one showing the actual branding oper-
alton.
The method used to reproduce the
branding H. realistically az it appears
in the motion picture may have puzzled
many a photOplay audience. But tic
mechanics of the operation were actu
ally very simple.
A branding iron, such as is used by
cowboys to put their trade mark" on
the hips or the shoulders of their cattle
was fitted, at its business end, with 4
hollow stamp Of Bar-O. This was
filed with grease paint.
Besides the branding iron. all that
was needed was blower and a littlC
smoke.
Nov, when Barbara Castleton, the
~ wife in The Branding Iron" was
ready for the branding job her "hus
band bound her TO support near thC
open fireplace Of their two room but

Castleton very obligingly registered hor-
ror. and the man with the blower oper-
ated the handles from behind the
scenes. A hole in the wall of the set
let the smoke into the room just ut the
point where Miss Castletons arm
pressed against it.
With the removal of the branding
iron from the flesh the audience secs the
cruel job. But, dear Hortcnse, the lady
just wore little grease paint on her
arm for the rest of the afternoon. And
she was indeed very happy that the
scene was realistically done
