This Star Used to y
Knock Off Comedy
For STA Ni1ht

It's great TO be picture star,
draw big salary and be known to
everybody But most of the men
and women who have attained tina,
emnence have reached it through
hard knocks and even harder work.
Bryant Washburn, who has been
engaged for the leading lnale role in
Hungry Hearts, now Deing filmed,
was reminiscing the other day. He
recalled that for his first work on
the stage he received 81 a preform-
ance. He went on the road at $l8
week, but this was soon cut to
Sl6. His salary jumped then to $35.
but not until after he had worked
hard and demonstrated his ability.
He was leading man on the road in
"The Wolf" at $45 week.
Washburn was Que of the first
stage actors to go over to motion
pictures, which had not then reached
their present prestige. His first con-
tract called for SIS week, and when
this was raised $40 he celebrated the
occasion by taking unto himself a
wife--the only one he has ever had.
incidentally. When the pay check
showed 500 written across it, Mr..
Washburn knew that he had accom-
plished the impossible.
Now the actors weekly salary is
written in three large figures, but
he had to play lot Of one-night
stands and face lot Of cameras and
don lot of grease pint to chieve it.

Song Brings Tears

To Bessie Love, the winsomc lit
tie star, who is seen opposite Sessuc
Hayakawa in his latest picture, "The
Swamp" the song Mother Macree,
is the one tune that can bring tears
to her eyes.
During the filming of "The
Swamp" it was first learned just
what song was necessary to make
her shed real tears. When the mo-
ment came for big emotional scene,
the orchestra playing on the Haya-
kawa set tried four or five sympa-
thetic strains, but none had the de-
sired effect. Then they played
Mother Macrac' aud the effect on
Miss Love was miraculous. Her face
became tense, her eyes glistened, and
a shield of sadness slowly enveloped
her. Then the tears bcamc evident
and the scenes were taken.

COMMENT OVER
WEST VIRGINIA
EDUCATORS CRITICIZE EDUCA
TON
(From The Moraantown Post1

(From The Moraantown Post)
President A. Lawrence Lowell. of
Harvard University, warns the Am
erican people against what he calls
the "press-the button" system of ed
ucation. Americans, says DIR. Low
ell, want to set up machines for
everything. and then, ne adds, "we
go through life touching the but
tons called for and conclude that
we have an education"
President Acheson, of the Pennsyl-
yania College for Women, warns
against soothing strip" education.
Soothing strip education, according
to Dr. Acheson, is education made
easy and disguised as play. Such
education, he says, produces men
and women lacking in moral fibre
ard in civic courage.
or course, education. even col
lege education, is not all play, and
cannot be IL 1t is to amount to
anything. Neither can one touch a
button and ring for education as
one rings for ice water by pressing
the button in his room in a hotel.
Education that fits one for good cit
izenship and the right sort Of moral
and social life involves hard work,
much industry, discipline and self
denial.
Both DR.. Lowell and DR.. Acheson
have uttered catchy phrases that. in
a way, are descriptive Of the faults
" the educational system. But why
direct them at the public? If the
college presidents and the college
faculties know what is the matter
with education. why do they not
apply the cure where it will do some
good? The public is not running the
colleges; the college men are. What
the public wants is that the col
leges shall impart that sort of edu,
cation that fits graduates for the
duties and activities OF modern life
Are the educators too much divid
ed among themselves as to methods
to give that sort OF education?
