Something which the naked eye has never seen-a bupbling hell of mol ten metals shown in a practical picture produced by the Rothacker Film company of Chicago. A steel mill furnace light is far too dazzling for the naked eye to see what really goes on when the iron begins to melt and later reaches the boiling point. Only a few have ever seen this sight and then only through specially coIored glasses The film shows it in a detail that is amazing and beau tifu1- This is the first movie ob- tained of boiling metal. Veteran steel makers said it couldn't be done that the heat would ignite the film inside the camera or else crack the lens. The cameraman did not know it at the time but two huskies were back of him, ready to jerk him out of harms way if anything happen ed.

eff I should win d beauty contest, am sure of a place in the movies?' ?'' Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the shngs and arrows of the fate of an "also-ran", or to take up arms cen to the closest closeup. That's the question. And summed up, it is a question of frightful di- mansions.
 Some will tell you that winning a contest is the royal road to fame in motion pictures. Others will warn you against all contests. Some con- tests are helpful, and others aren't destined to help you at all, they say. The latter are money-making schemes of which you are perhaps the inno- cent and disappointed victim. If a contest is run by a reliable firm, or a. newspaper or magazine, it is all right, but beware of the stranger who may come to your town to hold a motion picture contest. The win ners will receive marvellous promises and the promoter of the contest will probably slip out of town unnoticed on the 5:15 with a grip taking the place of a cash register under his arm
 Virginia Brown Faire was the vic tim of a beauty contest. Virginia Brown Faire was barely fifteen years old when she had the courage to en- ter the Fame and Fortune'' contest, conducted by wen-knOwn magazine publishers. Months were required 
 and the elimination of the obviously unfit Consider the anxiety suffered by fifty thousand young women seek ing fame and fortune.
 For such contest there must of course, be judges. Virginia Brown Faire'S qualifications came up before Mary Pickford, Cecil de Mile, Maur- ice Tourneur, J. Stuart Blackton Howard Chandler, Christy, James Montgomery Giagg, Samuel Lemiere and Eugene V. Brewster The final decisions were aided by motion pie ture tests, and the verdict for Miss Faire was the following:
 Because she is of an extraordinary beauty, sculptural, classic, artists pro nounce her, with one breath, close to perfection. Because she has an eX- quisiteness of youth. Because she has a super-delicate sensitiveness cas- ily and rarely lent to dramatic art. Because she is finely different. Be cause of her sense of innocence and touch of the young Madonna in poise and feature"
 And that carved the way for Vir- ginia!
 Not So Easy.
 But even after all that is not not so easy. unless fortune favorS you. There was once a winner of a big Chicago contest who wrote home after she

 Bobbed hair is disappearing. Those who clipped their hair in d rash mo mcnt are joyfully anticipating the day when they will be able once more to twist it up into fluffy masses without the aid of foreign strands. Very few and very far between are the women with hair so naturally curly that they do not require the services of a per manent wave or marcel wave man. nipulator. and surely nothing is quite so fOrlOrn looking as the woman with straight short hair. To wear the latter one must have flawlesS fea- lures which are found in one woman in a thousand, or live among the freaks of the local Greenwich village.

Plaza A "Pip!"

(Reyiew-)
 A good bill is presented this week at the Plaza theatre.
 Will Rogers in his latest GoldWyn picture, Cupid the Cowpuncher," is certainly a scream. Rogers is sup all-star cast. who help to make this picture thief uznfest ever.
 Cupid" is voted as the hoGnelies man in town and ''She' the prettiest girl. There is lots of action during the entirep lay and Cupid" with his or igina1 humor keeps the audience in a continuous uproar- The amusing situations and excellent acting tend to make this the crowning po5=t of Will Rogers achievements in the moving picture field.
 The vaudeville bill is fair with a rather novel sketch as a headliner. taking the audience from the days of the cave men to the present time and into the future. It is cleverly acted and introduces many little songs and dances.
 Calvin's a singer and Viola. KlaiSs at the piano made a good team, in troducing some of the latest songs. Ward and Borman in a comedy sketch help to fill in some of the weak spots on the bill.
 Herskind, a lightning artist. is very good. During the course of his per forTnances he makes lightning sketches of several persons in the audience and afterward presents them with the portraits of them selves.
 Tom Santschi in a two-part West eern drama and Pathe News complete the bill.

had arrived at d studio in Los An geIes- '.No one seems to care what I can do, or who I am They've heard I'm winner of a contest, and that's about all it amounts to- But fortune favored Virginia Brown F'aire-Fortune and Virginia's natur- al Stick-tO-itiveneSS. For Virginia Brown Faire was selected for the role of ''Ameera' in Rudyard KipIing's Pathe production, without Benefit of Clergy And an interesting cir cumstance was included in the win ming of this important engagement It is explained that fifty capable young picture actresses. upon invita- tion, submitted themselves at the Brunton studios to most exhaustive series of tests in competition for the prize Kipling engagement Each of these in turn was coStumed and made up for the pathetic figure of the little dark-skinned Hindu maiden and re- quired to enact several scenes of va rying emotional intensity in sets ready for the actual shooting of the pie ture. So Miss Faire was really up against a strong competition, sini- lar to her beauty contest.
 The crucial tests were made in the presence of the three principal au- thorities entrusted with the interpre- tation of Rudyard kiplings first Pathe production-Robert Brunton producer; James Young, director; ana Randolph Lewis, the Pathe techn1caI expert who advised with the English the continuity of without Benefit of Clergy" Miss Faire won the role of 'Ameera' because of her happy com mbinauOn of physical essentials and genuine emotional gifts.
 Is A Dusl<y Beauty.
 Virginia Brown F>aire is seventeen, and she is about the same age, and possesses the same graceful and slender figure which Kipling gives t~ ''Ameera-'' She has dark hair and large, languorous eyes. with a girl ishly rounded face. Her emotional gifts. well trained. although in so short a time, cover a wide range, and in the tests for ''Ameera,'' have said to have revealed subtle shades of nature calculated to bear out Kipling'S ideal of the character. In deed. it is expected that when With out Benefit of Clergy is shown to the public new star will be born to the screen.
 So. if you enter a beauty contest leading to the motion picture screen, go in to win, and don't let anything discourage you. Remember that the contest is never over. When once you get into a studio, you are a part of continual competition to stay there. Keep saying to yourself: 'rTve won my victory-now what am I go- ing to do with it?''
