In retrospect the qualities and attributes that
are perceived to have been essential. One fur
ther word about how a popular favorite is
worth almost any price that she may name
within the financial resources of the groups of
thcaters where her pictures are shown.
The natural limit Of a stage stars salary is
about $1,000 week. This for the reason that
only few thousand persons can pay to look
at her one-theater show within that time. and
$1,000 is. about the maximum of what she can
expect for her share after the company and
house expenses are deducted On the other
hand, the picture star is seen in hundreds of
plclure theater shows each week and thou
sands in the course Of year. Her weekly
patronage is several hundred thousand peo-
pie, and the tax of few cents that she levies
on each person may we'll amount to the S5,-
000-a-week salary that is the goal
Yet the motion picture should not be thought
of as Golconda Of limitless wealth. Expenses
of production are enormous. The methods of
distribution and exhibition necessarily call for
the expenditure of vast sums, and the margin
for fabulous salaries is by no means as large

knowledge of how individuals feel and cx-
press their feelings should be gained directly.
Some actors born Observers Others are
SO wrapt up in cgotism and vanity that they
manage to see very, very little of the life that
goes about them.
The principal character quality that leads
talent to the assured position where it can
command almost any great compensation for
Its services is will power. 1t enables the boy
or girl to make good in actual movie results
the endowment of health, youth figure, fea-
lures, temperament, brains and education
Without that will power the asprant is too
liable to be sucked into the maestrom of evil
desires, vices and idleness. This applies to pic
lures and the stage more than to any other
walk or career; doubtless it has been true of
life since time began
Think of the temptations that star must
resist in order to work continuously and sue
cessfully and thus reap the highest rewards
First, the temptation to food and fairness.
Diet to retain the figure and strict guard
against indulgence must needs be maintained
Puffy eyes are the telltale to the camera next
day of one food orgy! Next, the temptation
to softness. The person who doesn't keep in
physical training will not be equal to the task
For, though there are long hours of waiting
in studio, they are followed by the severest
labor and long continued application even to
the point of exhaustion. Third the temptation
to idleness. The lazy worker will never amount
to anything. Fourth, the temptation to dissi-
patton of any sort. It will surprise those who
think of the studio stage as a place of gay
pleasure and abandon to learn that only the
men and women of normally clean lives fully
succeed there.
Let me utter warning against the passions
of greed jealousy and envy. Many man or
woman in studios who has allowed his or her
face to be marked and marred by these pas
sions has slipped down and down-often from
high cminence-until completely submerged.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-25

as it appears in the reckless dreams Of press
agents or the figuring legislators thinking
they have tapped for taxes vein of unending
gold. Yet the man or girl who can entertain
the entire world or even America with his or
her pictures will always obtain compensation
comparable to that of royalty.

Young actors ought to
study life and books, too.
The higher algebra isn't par
tlcularly important to the

learning is quite essential
along the line of fine and
useful arts, history, geog-
raphy, manners, customs,
clothes, decoration and, most

literature. Observation and

contrary, those who think only of pleas

OF our most distinguished women star favorites
owe their success to the wise guidance of

Decorate the
Christmas Package

livery one when sending Christ
IL mas gift desires 1t to appear as at
iractive AS possible When we re-

sue paper and decorated with pretty
Christmas seals, there is an added
pleasure. This is especially so when
we realize that the sender has spent
time and cleverness to give this little
touch If personal thOughtfuIness.
Many varieties of Christmas seals

There are seals for the outside

of the unusual, which is always sought

Have a piece of carbon paper, place
it over the note paper, card or seal,

A CHRISTMAS LEGEND
Growing of the Cock to Keep
Away Evil Spirits.
tyr, Whose Day is Deem
Der Twenty-Six.

liver since that first Christmas eve
IL the cock has crowed all night long
on the anniversary to keep away evil
spirits; for the cock is a holy bird
and a knowing one. There is a pleas
ant tale of him and Saint Stephen, the
first martyr, whose day is December
26, close by his dear LuTds.
Saint Stephen was King Herod's
steward, it seems, who served him in
the kitchen and at table. One night
as he was bringing in the boar's head
for his masters dinner he saw the
Star shining over Bethlehem. Imme-
diately he set down the huge platter
and exclaimed:
mo longer, Herod, will l be thy
servant, for greater King than thou
is born"
"What aileth thee?' cried the King
wrathfully. do you lack meat or drink
that you would desert my service for
another's?"
Nay" answered Stephen. 81 lack
neither meat nor drink. But the Child
that is born this night is greater than
all of us; and Him only will serve"
"That is as true" Quoth Herod,
shifting the table with his fist, las that
this roast cock on the platter shall
crow before u.s."
Hardly were the words out of his
mouth when the cock stretched his
neck and crowed Justify. "Christus
natus est !" At this proof that
Stephens words were true, Herod was
90 angry that he made his soldiers take
Stephen outside the walls of Jerusalem
and stone him to death. And this is the
reason why, unto this day. Saint
Stephen is the patron of stone-cutters.
