It will not be denied by those ''in
 the know" including stars. directors,
 stenographers and office boys that a
 leading man is often a decoration
 moved about the screen exclusively
 on the wires of the directors mind.
 He has no living, human part in the
 play; no interest in the heroine, aslde
 from looking at her romanucally
 and taking her into his arms at the
 closeup in the well known Come to
 me- spirit. Aside from this his du-
 ties are generally light He must re-
 member that he is stick Of wood
 and not try to be an electric charge animated with that life, liberty and pursuit of happiness guaranteed un- der the Constitution
 All of which is merely a prelude, and like most preludes, it deals op- positely with the subject from the solid matter succeeding. This IS. Tn part, the story of John Bowers, ieao- ing man in Goldwyn Pictures, m which he has most successfully piay ed opposite sufficient feminine star. talent to intimidate the timid soul or a young man. But not John BoWers- He refuses to be intirnidated
 It Must Have Been Indiana. There is a reason for most things and probably for this eXtraoro1nary spirit in a leading man. The reason generally given is that the said lead- ing man was born in Indiana, the state which produced George Aoe. A | neighborhood capable of producing MT.

WEDNESDAY
By ED MAYER.


 We, each of us play many parts in our time, as the poet says, but few of play as many parts a movie actor or as diverse roles. Tom Moore picking a few of his characters at random, can boast that he has been a downand-outer, an English noble man, burglar, a policeman, a small town politician, and in a Goldwyn picture soon to be released, Made in Heaven" a fireman.
 Will Rogers, in the year that he has been working in pictures and during which he has become one of the most popular male stars of the screen, has been a cowboy, a Southern loafer (they loaf better than the northern ones), a mountaineer, a Guile of Women," Scandinavian sailor.
 Life out here at the Goldwyn : studios has an infinite variety that time cannot wither nor custom stale, y says Tom Moore. You can see from ] the list of my pictures during the past year that life is anything but a ] monotonous thing in the movies. Variety is the spice of life, and here we find the spice of variety
 There are a lot of young men and young women who have an idea that acting before the moving-camera is ! a sort of continual lark. Well, I'll not be denying that there's fun in ] the game, but don't let them think that there's all there is to it. There's : work in adjusting yourself to all the different parts you play and there's work in each of the parts. Doctor : lawyer, Indian Chief,-r=ch man, poor man, beggar man, thief. That's re- ter The main thing is that a movie : actor is each of those and all ot those. That's why movie acting is SC : hard-and so various and spiced.'

Reform Bureau Head To Confer With Film Men

Los Angeles, Cal, April 2O-Rev. Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, President of the International Reform Bureau, and chief of the reformers and, to the motion picture world, the censorship movement personified, is coming to Los Angeles for a conference with the producers.
 Until after that conference, pr. Crafts promises he will not urge upon Congress the enactment of a bill for the creation of a national commission to license and control the industry.
 This information came in a tele- gram sent by pr. Crafts to BenJa- min B. Hampton, at Los Angeles, as follows:
 Letters coming. Also myself the twenty-first. No national bill till Coast producers consulted.
 'WILBUR F. CRAFTS"
 This message was sent from Chica- go, and was in response to a letter of protest written by MT. Hampton, contending that Dr. Crafts newest conception for qualification of the pie lures, through national commisslon, [ was unWlse and in violation of the spirit of the ''truce'' agreed on re- gently in New York
 Result of Conference
 At a conference held some months ago through the efforts of MT. Hamp- ton. MT. Crafts met a number of lead ing producers and exhibitors, headed by William A Brady Apparently convinced of the good faith of the mo- tion picture men, Dr.. Crafts agreed to a years truce in which the reform elements of which he is the leader, through his International Reform Bureau, would not take the lead III further censorship and Sunday cloS- ing movements and would cooperate with the picture industry in trying out . the efficacy of the use of the police power to suppress objectionable pie ture plays.

 He Never Tears His Hair.
 Perhaps the most distinctive trait He has a curious theory that it is not necessary to get excited in order to be effective on the screen. He be- lieves that the leading man who tears his hair in anguish is a. fool, for in private and actual life he would prob ably sit dumb under the same cir cumstances. Furthermore, he believes that it is not proper to call on a lady in the afternoon attired in evening dress, many players seem to De- lieve.
 From all this it will be observed that John Bowers is really an ex- tremely individualiStic sort of person. He is. Perhaps this is due to ms training, or rather, to the spirit which his training developed. His parents destined him to be Q, lawyer, and ne studied for that profession But ne found the courts much less attract1ve

The Spice Of Variety

MT. Moore did not mention what has been his happiest role during the year-bridegroom. There was a gen uine happy ending to Made in Heaven. The star met Renee Adoree in that picture and before they were through both were convinced that marriage was made in Heaven And they tied the hymeneal knot and went to Honolulu for their honey moon. Now they are back in the studios and MT. Moore is back at work again.
 And on the stage next to that on Rogers in a new role for him-that Of Romeo. The picture is to be called Doubling for Romeo and the accredited authors are Willia m Shakespeare and Elmer Rice. MT. Shakespeare was a prominent English playwright who died some yearse ago after SontribLs3ng various noteworthy tragedies and comedies to the stage. He did not write for the movies, due to the fact, perhaps, that the movies were not invented when he lived
 MT. Moore and MT. Rogers have, therefore, added two new characters to the already multiform design of their past. What the future will bring forth time alone can tell. MT. Moore and MT. Rogers are in a mood, no doubt, to expect anything
 so far as roles are concerned. In the way of newness. But as Tom says,
 variety is the spice of life. and the spice of variety is good seasoning particularly, beneath the continually placid California sunshine It mus; be real relief to be engaged in a murder or a fire or rodeo to break up the monotonous serenity of the | climate. But this story will never get into California newspaper, after that!

Many motion picture people placed little confidence in the arrangement, and for them that little confidence faded away when it was announced from Washington that Dr. Crafts had launched a new movement for a na- tonal censorship commission.
 In his letter to Dr. Crafts, MT. Hampton stated that he presumed the latest anti-picture proposal made by Dr. Crafts had been the result of pressure on him by reformerS who were not satisfied with the truce. ' He declared frankly that he believ- ed pr. Crafts had made a tactical er- TOT that would cause producers and exhibitors to charge him with failure to act in good faith. He contended that censorship was not the correc- tive to be applied, but that the peo- pie must be educated to a demand for better prices, and in line with this the police power should be employed to suppress picture plays that exert a baneful influence.
 Cardinal Points
 Continuing, MT. Hampton wrote:
 "I believe your own people will ra1- ly to your support if you will devote your energies to three things:
 First, steady, persistent effort tc educate the public in favor of clean pictures
 s'Second, persistently driving against picture theatres to educate the theatre owners to confidence that the decent-minded public will sup port him in showing clean pictures. Third, to a use of the police pow CT and to the expansion and extension if necessary, of the police power making it possible to send to jail any exhibitor who shows unclean picture: and any producer who makes them ol distributor who distributes them"

 Granting then, for the sake of the argument, that he was born there, His talent remains to be analysed even though clear as the SiPvry Wabash on a moonlight night.
