BY JAMES w. DEAN.

Girls, if you'd know whether you
have cinema face, look long upon
the countenance of Edna Wheaton.
Edno's face gained for her the part
of Beauty" in Experience" She
had never been in pictures before.
She was chosen from 5000 who
submitted their photos for the
place.
She was also given a place with
Elsie Ferguson in ''Footligh5s.'
Hear George Fitzmaurice, director.
He says of her, "She has an almost
perfect face. An examination of
many photographs shows that both
sides are exactly alike.
when she smiles her resemblance
to Mary Pickford is startling. Hel
features in repose are those of the
late Olive Thomas"
Miss Wheaton sang in a chur,
choir at Ithaca, N. Y She had gone
to New York to study voice when she
submitted her photo for the. party of
Beauty.
Her trunk was packed. She was
ready to return home. The phone
rang. She was told the part was
hers.
She was so happy she cried Oh,
well, you know how women are.

LABEL CENSORSHIP

A California legislator has intro.
duced bill for a state board of re.
view, not to censor movies but to la
bel them with such designations as
"Racy," "Non-Offensive" and "Edu-
cational."
That avoids most objections to an
arbitrary censorship which gives some
citizen power to say what other citi-
zens may look at and think about.
In this way, each can use his
own Judgment. No great harm if he
goes to picture labeled educational
and finds nothing he didn't know be

Frequently during the showing of the

cheered and applauded some partic-

THE picture is intensely interest
ing, showing for the first time, the
pictures taken by the U. S. Signal
Corps Photographic Section. Many
of the cameramen were killed and
wounded while making these pictures
under heavy shell and rifle fire, and
it is easy to see from the pictures,
that the men had to 90 in advance
of the lines often to make the scenes.
One can almost hear the roar of the
barrage and the incessant rattle Of
rifle fire. Men running forward and
dropping, wounded or killed, medical
corps people coming up to give first
aid under fire, snipers crawling for

ELIMINATED FOR

Expect Ban on Commercial
Autos From Capitol to State
Dept. Building.

Public hackers will bel driven. from
all cab stands on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. within a short time.
This was forecast today when II was
learned that Capt. Albert r. Headley,
chief of the traffic bureau. has recon-
mended to the superintendent OF Po-
lice that all cab stands on Pennsyl-
vania avenue be discontinued. II is
believed that Major -Gessford, Super
intendent of Police. will indorse the
plan. as II Is in keeping with the ideas
OF Commissioner Oyster. that the Ave-
nue. be cleared OF hackers.
1t In believed, that the clearing of
the Avenue will extend from the Cap
itol to the State, War. and Navy De-
partment building.
Probably the worst hardship on the
hackers will be those who occupy
stands on the south side OF the Avenue
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
the Commissioners recently they were
moved from the north side to the
south side of the Avenue. The present
plan contsmpistes the doing away
with the south side as a hacking
stand.
Hack stands will be designated to
take place OF the ones which will be
discontinued, IL Ia said, and every
effort will be made to designate a
place that will give them opportunity
to do as much business as they have
done heretofore.
Commissioner Oyster does not want
to injure the hackers business, he
has said on several occasions. and
has had Captain Headley make an
extensive survey of the situation.
