Coming to Ditmas

For the first time since he became
a screen actor Douglas Fairbanks
spent a cold million dollars in order
to make 1.-The Three Musketeers,"
which has proven to be the film SEN
sation of the picture world, and
which was adapted by Edward Kno-
block from Alexander Dumas fam
ous novel, and directed by Fred Nib
10.
Never before in the history of the
motion picture industry was a photo
play produced on so lavish a scale as
was this forthcoming Fairbanks Of
fering. Nearly a hundred thousand
dollars was spent on costumes alone.
and more than half that amount was
expended in the building of exterior
sets, not counting the ship and the
pier which cost a small fortune be-
sides.
All told, there are one hundred
and sixteen persons in the asst not
counting the extras, and the weekly
payroll for 1.-The Three Musketeers''
Nreached the staggering figure of over
$50, 600 a week.

CxxxI-A MISSING CARD.

CXXXI-A MISSING CARD.
After DR.. Langwell had gone,
Nancy few upstairs to get her vanity
case.
While she was explaining to him
the incident of the flowers. and the
card inscribed "For my little sweet
heart" and signed with his initials,
she had experienced a sudden realiza-
ton that she had not seen that card
since she left the hospital.
| She found the little gold case lin
the top drawer of her dressing table
in Connie Stanley's guest room; but
when she opened 1t with eager
myers, she found that 1t contained
only her rouge. powder and lip
stick and Philip Harding's card.
With pang of conscience she re-
membered that she had not ac-
knowledged the gift of flowers, but
she put the thought aside for a mo-
ment while she searched the drawer,
her purse. and even the dressing
bag she had with her. for a trace
OF the card bearing the doctors
initials.
1t was nowhere to be found!
She sat down before the dressing
table to think.
| She remembered that the last time
she had seen that card IL was in
| Peggy Lewis possession. Peggy
had powdered her nose with the
contents of the vanity case, snapped
it shut. and returned 1t to Nancy.
who had tucked lit under her pill
low without reopening 1t.
Was II possible that Peggy could
have taken. away that card for any
malicious reason?
Recalling the incident Of the hat
anc the neatly arranged trap into
which the doctor had fallen, Nancy
could not deny that the situation
/ looked suspicious.
Langwell had taken the affair of
the flowers as a joke. but he was
unaware of the fact that the card
was missing. He had refused to be
perturbed by Nancy's reminder that
some one was taking his name in
vain.
Nonsense" he said. You prob
ably have dozens of beaux with the
| initials r. B. l. No doubt some
old flame whom you've lcng since
| forgotten heard you were in the
hospital and wanted to do the cor
rect thing for the sake of auld lang
syne. Funny, egotistical creatures,
/ men, he chuckled. I'VE all think
there is only one man identified
with each set of initials in a girls
alphabet
Nevertheless, Nancy was dis
turbed by the less of the card. In
the first place, II showed quite clear
ly that she could place no depend
ence on the loyalty of Peggy Lewis.
In the second place, with the evil
dence gone. there was no hope of
ascertaining who was sufficiently
familiar with her affairs to chance
such a message.

matter seemed, viewed from one

Clay Models
Are Best Made
AferPractice
(Conclusion.)


In clay modelling you should
always work. from a model and
not from your imagination alone.
And remember that in modelling
your object is not to make the
reproduction just as the subject
appears, but as it really is.
Before attempting to model
such things as hands, heads, etc,
it Is good to get some practice
on simpler objects. such as
vases, pitchers or cups. But this
doesn't seem so much fun as
modelling from life does.
How to Build Up Bust.
When modelling a bust, set a
small block of wood in the center
of the modelling stand and pile
clay around it till the block is
covered. Into this pile place a
stick upright to serve as a sup
porter for the head of the bust.
This stick should not be any
higher than the top of the head
will be, of course.
Around the stick firmly place
still more clay. Work II with
your hands till It takes on the
general shape of a head-like an
egg. for instance.
Then, using your fingers. com
mence modelling the features of
the face, pinching of bits of clay
here. adding some there, poking
a hole here, and so on. Don't
attempt at first to get an exact
the general features and then go
after the details.
Balance Face Carefully.
AS you find it necessary to
work on another part of the
face. turn your modelling board
slightly. Turn your model, too,
so that you always get the same
view of it as you do of your
work.
Take care to get the face prop
erly balanced.
The general features blocked
in you can commence on the de-
tails. such as lines and dimples.
Soon you will have pretty
presentable looking reproduction
of the real thing If you have
worked hard and used good
judgment. And then comes the
question, How shall 1 preserve
my work." If the clay you have
used is terra-cotta. you can bake
it in the oven and it will become
very hard and turn to a pretty
buff color. For this reason II is
advisable to use terra-cotta clay
il you can get 1t.
Now. then-who are the ambi-
tious artists amongst us?
