The Atavism of John Tom Little Bear

John Tom Little Bear was an edu-
Gated Cherokee Indian and an old friend
of mine when / was in the Territories.
He was graduate OF one Of them east
ern football colleges that have been so
successful In teaching the Indian to
use the gridiron instead of burning his
victims at the stake. As an Anglo Sax
on, John Tom was copper colored In
spots. As an Indian, he was one Of
the whitest men l ever knew. AS
first ballot. As a ward Of the Nation.
he was mighty hard to carry at the
primaries.
John Tom and me got together and
began to make medicine-how to get up
some lawful, genteel swindle which we
might work in a quiet way so as not to
excite the stupidity of the police or the
cupidity OF the larger corporations. We
had close upon $500 between US and we
pinned to make 1t grow as all respectable
capitalists do.
$50 we figured out a proposition which
seems to be rs honorable Is a gold mine
prospectus and as profitable as a church
rattle. And inside of thirty days you
find us swarming into Kansas with
pair Of fluent horses and a red camping
wagon on the European plan. John Tom
is Chief Wish Heap-DOugh, the famous
Indian medicine man and Samaritan Sa-
chem of the Seven Tribes. Mr.. Peters is
business manager and half owner. We
needed a third man, so we looked around
and found J. Conyngham Binkly lean
ing against the want column of news
paper This Binkly has a disease for
Shakespearean roles and an hallucina-
ton about a 200 nights run on the New
York stage But he cOnfesses that he
never could earn the butter TO spread
on his William s. roles so he is willing
to drop to the ordinary bakers kind
and be satisfied with 200 mile run be

vey that persons emotions to the au-
dience. I always try, when I am think
ing over a part, to key that part up to
the people who are going to see it; I
mean, to make the girl I am playing feel
what happens to her. just as girls every
where would feel It, When l was get
ting ready to play Anna in ''Way Down
East" 1 could really see the bigness Of
the story until l remembered that girls
everywhere, ever so many Of them, have
been tricked into false marriages. / had
to make myself one with them, and with
those whose experiences may not have
been so tragic, but have been very IN
happy, nevertheless
That is what, for me, takes the place
of the inspiration which an audience
gives you on the stage-the feeling oI
responsiveness that I get from imagining
the people all over the world who, per-
haps from different combinations Of cir
cumstances, have felt what l must por-
tray on the screen. That is what
mean by keyiRg up a part to the PEG
pie who are going to see ito their
emotions, really.
So when 1 go before the camera 20

my audience tucked away in the back Of

by the character l play When l re
hearsed. everything that I did was
worked out so that each action would
mean something, convey some definite I'M
preston What I know Of the technique
of acting has all been worked into the
part. But when l actually get to work
with the grinding Of the camera and the
directors voice the only sounds, / feel
the part, and I feel the emotions Of the
audience-and that's all.
When ! get through maybe some one
says, That was great" Maybe Mr.. Grlt-
nth says. Wen do that over. and try 1t
this way" Maybe nobody says anything
and l go home wondering if you viii
like it. OF course, I wonder that, any
way. And that's about all l can say
about how 1t feels to work for you

How 1t Feels to Act for You

AS every one knows, acting in front
of the motion picture camera is abso-
luteIy different from acting on the stage.
It's a long time since / was on the
stage but, of course, l remember what
it was like, having the audience out
there in front, and having them applaud
or not applaud!
But in the studio your audience must
be in your mind, just as your character
Is in your mind. You don't get direct
inspiration from them, and so you have
to furnish 1t for yourself. Your absorp-
ton in your part has to be complete,
there; much more so than when you are
playing on the stage, and the enthusi-
asm of those for whom you are play
ing helps you.
You walk out in front Of the camra
You have rehearsed 1t so that you know
what part of the action you are TO do.
Perhaps you have just finished a scene
that comes in quite a different part Of
the story, and 80 have to adjust yourself,
to fit your mind into what you are to
do right then
Lines are drawn on the foor. so that
you won't step out Of range Of the
camera; you must remember them. You
must face the camera, but not look into
It; on the stage you could play strong
emotional scene with your face turned
away from the audience, because your
voice and the words you said would let
people know what you were experiencing
and saying, but on the screen your face
must tell them For instance, in the
scene in way Down East" where I de
nounce the villain, before l am driven
out into the snow, l had to remember
where my audience was every minute,
even when was so worked up by the
feeling Of the moment that 1t absorbed
me completely. OF course. I have worked
long enough in pictures, however, to do
that instinctively
1t Is the feeling of your part that
comes first. You have to be the person
you are playing And you have to con

Big Supply of Fiber
for u. S. Binder Irvine

GALVESTON. Texas. July 9.--Accord-
ing to advices received from Merida, State
Of Yucatan Mexico, there will be a big
movement of sisal fiber to the United
States mad Canada during the next few
months. Furthermore, for the first time
in the history of the industry there have
been accumulated surplus stocks in this
country sufficiently large to insure that
she wheat growers and other farmers will
have an abundent supply Of binder twine
for some time to come even should the
supply from Yucatan be cut of for year
or two.
1t is stated that importers and manu-
facturers now have on hand in warehouses
chiefly in Galveston, more than $4,000
bales 70 sisal fiber All of this has been
accumulated during the last two years

Venus dominates this day with evil
power according to astrology Neptune
is slightly adverse.
During this sway men and women may
be easily led by romance aud wooings
may be persistent, but Neptune is in an
aspect that is believed 10 cloud the com
mon sense view Of life.
Women should be particularly lucky
today. which Is held to favor all their
essentially feminine ambitions.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
beware Of accidents or fire They should
avoid duarrels and should make the best
of every day experiences. The subjects
Of Cancer are usually extremely fortu-
nate through their own exertions.
Children born on this day are likely
TO be exact, thorough and industrious.
They are generally affectionate and
kindly in nature

are all in malefc aspect Neptune is
friendly early in the morning.
During this planetary government the
mind is likely to be pressed and the
dark side of life to be apparent.
Selfshness and arrogance are supposed
to be encoura ged by the position of the
stars these days when special privileges
are coveted and claimed, more than ever
before, by the sHbconscious mind.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
be especially careful of letters and writ
ings in the coming year. Unexpected
success seems to be foreshadowed

rash, headstrong and very imaginative.
