The spot picked out for the scenes

days work Director Frank LLOYD

the players that 1t was difficult for
them to 'put over" the emotional

lT WAS so thrilled the night that Mr..

Rialto and see our new picture that
my feet didn't seem to touch the earth

who decided whether picture would

several theatres, or had one in large
city, were to be there.
Mrs. Lane and I arrived Mt the theatre
Just as the crowd was pouring out
after the last show; she saw Alice
Joyce, and went across the lobby to talk
with her. and l stood near one of the
doors and watched the people. wonder
ing IL they'd go to see me on the
screen, and what they'd say about me,
l wanted desperately to have them like
me, and write me fan letters, and
name their babies after me, and be real
friends of mine, as they were of some

Presently we went into the theatre
and sat down in about the middle OF
the main floor. The lighting effects al
the theatre were very good, and Mr..
Rothapfel had them tried out for us,

other men near. Mrs. Lane sat next me
on one side. but the seat between me
and the aisle, on the other side. was
vacant.
Then. just as the names of the cast
were thrown on the screen, somebody
came down the aisle and slipped into
the seat beside me. 1t was too dark for
me to see anything at first, but some

Then n scene was shown which was
very light, and in the reflection I saw

FOR FIRST TINE

NOR the first time in its hundred

the fiickering altar candles, where they
have burned for century and n half,
were the most powerful lights used in
motion picture photography. While
dome and sootlights were placed in the
interior, huge "sun-arcs" on scaffold-
inSs on the outside sent flooding rays
through the windows set in walls five
feet thick. Through the old, hand
hCwn doors swinging on the original
pivot hinges, large electric cables were
laid to carry more than 200 900 candle

A Good Complexion
. BIZ Lima Carnlieri,
The Most Famous Living Beauty.

"HE only way to gain and keep
a good complexion is to give
the skin certain amount of
attention every day.
For reasons of convenience the
one thorough toilet of the day
should be made in the evening. l.
this is carefully done any other
facial cleansing that may be needed
throughout the day may be brief
and more or less perfulctory.
The first thing to be done Is to
put on loose robe that will give
perfect freedom of action to the
arms and shoulders. Then rub into
the face and neck a liberal coat of
cold cream. This may be wiped
away in a few moments, carrying
with 1t the heaviest part of the
surface CRIME.
Take mild soap, preferably
pure CASTLE, and q bowl of tepid
water. Most Of you use a face
cloth, but be careful not to use any
except of the softest material. such
as the sheerest bath toweling. It
is even better to use soft silk or
muslin or cheesecloth.
Another caution may not be amiss
just here. Do MOI rub the face
hard. Because a hard rubbing
loosens the skin, causes the mus
cles OF the face to sag and forms
the much-disliked wrinkles.
Lastly, give the face a thorough
cold cream bath. For anyone who
desires q good complexion this is
absolutely essential.
When putting on the cold cream
make conscious effort to massage
away the incipient wrinkles made
by hard day. With a. rotary mo-
tion massage gently from the cor
ners of the eyes to the edge of the
hair line.
In the same way, with the tips
of the fingers, smooth out the lines
between the eyebrows.

n KARCH is the month of house
N furnishing sales and the
" season Of the year when
every housekeeper begins to think
Of "sprucing up" not only in the
main rooms and furnishings. but in
that often neglected corner-the
kitchen.
But this article does not intend
to speak of the need Of new paint,
new pots and pans and fresh cur
tains, necessary and desirable as
they are. Its purpose is to discuss
the word "locate" and its applica-
tion to the fittings of the kitchen.
This is word borrowed from the
factory and the shop, and means
the placing or location of tools and
appliances so that the worker will
be saved all useless motion and
walking.
/ think ! may have told my read.
ers Of Visit TO factory and how
l stood next the workbench of q
man assembling part Of one of the
machines made there. Over the
bench was a strip of wood In which
were fastened about a dozen diff
ferent tools needed for the job. To
the front and side were small,
cigar-like boxes with partitions,
each filed with separate kinds and
sizes Of screws and other small
metal parts.
The man stood in front of the
bench, and by the swiftest motions
grasped the needed tool with one
hand and the parts from the boxes
with the other, thus assembling a
machine with marvellous speed. In
other words, every tool and supply
needed for that particular job were
located" exactly at the right place.
Now, while speed in itself is not
so desirable in housework, we
should always be trying to see how
we may save useless effort for the
woman in the home. Can we not
"locate" the house tools Just as Is
done with the factory tools?
/ went into a kitchen the other
day, and as my eye roamed about
the walls noticed that there were
two egg-beaters hanging over the
sink. The potato-masher also hung
over the sink. I unconsciously
asked myself, Does Mrs. Jones
beat eggs in her sink or mash po-
tatoes there?"
OF course she does not! When
she wants to use the egg-beater she
walks to the sink, takes down the
