Miss Talmadge Gives
Her Opinion of Sex
Plays in Magazine

What do you mean by sex plays ?"
is the title of an intensely interesting
article in the June Pictorial Review
by Norma Talmadge, in which the
great screen favorite clearly shows the
distinction between the offensive over
emphasis of sex-appeal.
Miss Talmadge says in part 1.-THE
japanese censors consider kissing i'm
proper. And yet they think nothing
of bathing in manner which we look
upon as highly immoral It's just a
difference in viewpoint. Individuals as
we'll as nations frequently have the
same sort of differences. Many people
see suggestivepess in plays where
others merely see love story
Norma further states: ''There is ono
kind of sex play l like to play in. and
III tell you what it is. 1t is the kind
which depicts my own sex as the pre-
dominating factor. I am an absolutely
firm believer in the equality of women
with men. l believe in their intelli
gence. progressiveness and individual
ity. I believe in their ability to carve
out their own careers and to express
themselves in their work. These are
the women like to appeal to. A play
in which woman is doing something
in the world for herself, by herself,
that is the kind of sex play I like"

ton picture plans Of William Fox for
next season-intended to be the most
elaborate and active of any season in
the history of his organizaiion-Dust
Farnum has been added to the roster
of Fox stars, and program Of high
class productions is now being ar
ranged which will launch him in a
way to establish him among the most
prominent star offerings Of the Fox
output.
Dustin's management by Fox is in
the nature Of homecoming: THE
Scarlet Pimpernel," THE Spy" "Du-
rand of the Bad Lands and North
of 3d." in which he appeared during
his previous service with Fox, were
all notable successes.
There are few stars upon the screen
today who can bring to a producer
greater prestige and distinction than
can Dustin Farnum. His long ex-

boresome facts of history. it is decid-

great praise deserved by the finished
production. The one huge question

first saw ben Hur" is, why didn't
someone think Of this before?
Most unusual. It is also that there

There is no particular mention of

Chaplin May Appear
in Vanity Fair as
He Looks Off Stage

Doubtless thousands of his admirers
think Charlie Chaplin was born with
flat feet and never wears good clothes.
Why shouldn't they? They are about
to be disillusioned by the comedian
himself. however. for in his next pic
ture. Vanity Fair he is to appear
in the dapper guise in which his Cali
fornia neighbors see him in public.
For the first time Charlie will play
a dual role. so to speak, and reveal
himself in other than Stun habiliments.
There will be scenes. of course, with
the familiar funny walk and the re-
Gently singed baggy trousers seat, but
in others Charlie viii set over against
them the real Chaplin, sans mustache,
derby and No. l. shoes, and in their
place costumes fit for the court Of
St James.
VANITY Fair will be a great illu-
sion dispeller-all this Of course based
on the assumption that he doesn't
change his mind and cut out the glad
rags.

the outcome will be If monarchies con-

fees of womanhood. He guarantees
when he is through his tale that the
prince will save the Christian girl

of the present day exact conditions
