American Faces Changing.

Motion pictures are changing the
faces of American men and women.
This is the belief of Henry Give.
the artist, who has just completed
portraits of a number OF film stars.
including Gloria Swanson, Bebe
Daniels. Wallace Reid. Agnes Ayres
and Wanda Hawley.
Motion pictures are making the
American face more mobile. more
plastic" said Mr.. Give Because Of
the necessity of interpreting thoughts
and actions entirely by means OF
facial expressions. film actors have
developed faces which register
emotions as quickly as the surface Of
a placid lake records the passage Of
summer breeze. This is not only
true Of actors and actresses, but its
effect is seen in the faces Of millions
of movie fans. Gloria Swanson. s
feminine admirers have acquired ali
the facial pannerisms which Miss
Swanson shows on the screen. Wallace
Reid's manner Of lifting his eve
brows has set all the young men Of
the country to lifting their eyebrows

in foreign commerce in 1873 carried
95.5 per cent Of our imports and ex-
ports. In 1914 they carried only s.5
per cent.
In the past four years the American
merchant marine has advanced more
than it did in the previous century.
