WOMEN AND CENSORSHIP.

We have often spoken on the sub feet but we can't repeat it too often the fact that the women of the coun- try, if they are so minded, can lay censorship forever low.
 It seems to us that if we were to offer exhibitors one bit of advice it would be this: Go to your local wo-
 men's organizations. Explain cen sorship to them, what it is and means. Tell them it is pre-pubEcity censor ship; that it takes control from the public where it belongs; and gives it over to the politicians; that already sour penal code and police powers are amp1e to cope with any picture situa- tiop-< Tell them you want to work with them. Tell them that you con- sider the motion picture a public ser want and your house a community center. You want their understand ing and their help. Tell them how censorship will destroy this industry at once and this art for a generation to come Tell them you will help them enforce local police powers. Get 'fhem interested. And once they start lighting for you, your cause is won. But the point is: Go to them now before they come to you. They're
 coming eventually. But they're apt to come with transformation and inn
 possible, plans. Go to them and in form them frst.-Motion Picture News.

Elinor In Search Of A New Type!
By ZELDA BEDELL.

E1inor Glyn, the Titian-haired, green-eyed lady who made rather luminous reputation-and has lost nothing but it-when she presented Three Weeks to a dazed public, is in America The tigerskin -devotee, possessed of both beauty and brain, is turning her vivid talent screen ward, and her first story written in a very Glyn-esque tale, in which Gloria Swanson will be seen for the first time as a fu1l-fiedged star.
 Elinor-if one may take such lib critics with real British aristocracy- confldes that her real reason for be- ing in America is not to write for the movies so much as to find new type of manl Americans will please lose a few vest buttons over that!
 Glass will not count with me- she told a reporter of one of the motion picture magazines. 'I am at heart an aristocrat, but that fact means nothing to me in my search. Physl- cal perfection will be important. My ideal can be forty. He must have done something in the world. He must be refined, but class breeding is not necessary. He must have a brain, and enough so that it has per mitted him to acquire culture. He must have proved his character, ne must be successful by his own effort :,
 In other words, perhaps more Americanese, he must be a sef-made man; a rolling stone that has ac- quired dust in its travels as we'll as a superfine polish.
 If that is all Mme. Glyn wants, she will find the soil of America fertile with these flora and fauna. The land of liberty just naturally throws up that kind, and she will have her hands full picking just what one she wants.
 However, there will be one lack, one ''fly in the ointment, for says the green-eyed lady: Americans are not prone to great passions. A love such as Three Weeks might be pos sible between an American woman and foreigner, but between two Americans-no, they do not under stand; and yet never write of any thing which to my knowledge has not actually occurred.
 q was once requested to write a cause of my familiarity with that guest of the royal family I did so. Similarly, I visited the king and queen of Spain and wrote some Span ish letters for publication. I shall re- turn there later and write a Spanish novel. But I intend to remain in this country until have accomplish ed my purpose.
 Through the medium of the Amer ican people a new era in motion pie lures will be attained. I believe, giv- en the opportunity, they will ap- preciate a higher motive than the average melodrama thrill; already they are satiated with the common

It is a long leap from colossal fig ures which decorated the buildings of the San EFrancisco exposition to two-inch ivory figure carved with the deiicacy of the artists of the Orient but Charles c. Cristadoro, a sculptor of 442 West Twenty-second street, New York city, proves it can be made most successfully by the remarkable portrait miniature he has made of William $. Hart, star in Paramount Pictures. From an ivory billiard ball he has fashioned a. figurine of the Western favorite which not only is a likeness of the player but which also has caught the detail and action which many sculptors miss in a figure of heroic size
 Mr.. CriStadoro is an artist of many years experience but his work in Ivory is of a recent undertaking. The Hart miniature was made from a, bill Hard ball because it was the only Ivory available in the small Missouri town where MT. Cristadoro was work ing at the time and the labor involved

Mary's Next.

Mary Pickford's next film offering. says Bennie Zeidman, her new pro duction manager, will be Little Lord Fauntleroy," the literary classic writ ten by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
 I've believe" said Zeidman, ''that Little Lord Fauntleroy' will be Miss Pickford's best picture. Certainly greater opportunity for the display Of her genius is offered in this vehicle than in any story she has ever un- she appeared in Stella Maris,' Miss Pickford will be seen in a dual role In addition to playing Little Lord Fauntleroy, she will also assume the role of the boys mother, and no two characterizations could possibly be so vastly different or so sharply con traSted as these. The public will have the opportunity of seeing Miss Pickford a mature woman and also as child, all in the same pie ture."
 James NeiH of the Goldwyn play CTS, has been in motion pictures since the days of their beginning, and he has many amusing stories to tell. One of them has to do with a casting di- rector in the early days, who was not familiar with stage celebrities.
 MT. NeilI was acting in a picture at the studio and Francis Wilson and William H. Crane, who were friends of his, and were curious to see how pictures were made, came to visit him one day. A big ballroom scene was to be filmed the next day, and the directors mind was on it, so when MT NeiIl introduced his friends he said, to their amazement:
 "Yes, they'll do. That is, if they have dress suits. Five dollars day each, you know.'

was exceptionally arduous because of the difficulty in holding the material.
 The ball from which the figure was carved weighed seven and one- half ounces; the figure itself weighs but fiVe-siXteenthS of an ounce, one twenty-third of the original bulk. Figuring gold at $20 an ounce the figure, which is valued at s2,00O, is worth 320 times its weight in gold.
 The figure, with its base, stands two and three thirty-seconds of an inch. The figure alone. if standing erect, would measure two inches. A man two inches tall would weigh one-fourteenth of an ounce. Assum- ing that MT. Hart is six feet tall, he would be 46.676 times as large as the miniature in bulk and weight One of his dinners would last the two-inch man forty-two years and seven months if he only ate in proportion to his size, and he could walk half a mile in one day if MT. Hart could walk eighteen miles.
