Beauty and Personality.

PEAUTY. sacred these years in the
films, is being humbled by the
latest vanity wrecking efficiency
movement In the new arrangement
of qualifications Of screen lumdnaries
beauty is showed far down the list,
with personality exalted to the high
est requisite. Beauty, if accompanied
by intelligence and a charm that sur
wives the Photographic processes. is
still very desirable. But beauty, just
for beauty'S sake alone, is no longer
being done in pictures.
The tumblins of beauty from the
pedestal was predicted some time ago
by Oliver Morosco. who. through his
years of observing beauty's futile
struggle against brains on the stage,
said that the same conditions would
apply to the screen.
In survey of prominent actresses
in the Los Angeles film colonies, Col

beauty.
Beauty always is desirable, if it is
not obviously trading upon beauty

Personality is the strongest quail
fication for either the stage or screen.
1t is undefinable. but large COM
ponent part is intelligence. 1t is no
longer possible to foist beauty over
on the screen without personality
that backs it up. That is because the
screen of today is carrying heavier
stories. which require true art to
tell them The camera demands
closer thought concentration, finer
balance of action probably than does
the stage. for there is no bridging
voice to assist"

through when they are satisfied. They
are never satisfied.
The search for perfection is ages
old 1t began about the moment that
man scratched his first rough picture
on the walls of his prehistoric one
cave-without bath apartment. and it
has been going on ever since.
1t is this hunt that has resulted in
modern civilization with its tele-

Babe Ruth and the motion picture.
1t is this hunt for the ideal, to par
ticularize. that is improving the mo-
ton picture art not only steadily and
surely. but with amazing swiftness.
If any one could believe, after
glancing over the record of accom-
plishment of the great motion picture
organizations. and after knowing of
the hard daily grind of authors. dra-
matists. directors and actors. that the
directing intelligence of the silent
drama isn't driving nightly at per-
lection. it would be hard to persuade
that individual that the Leaning
Tower of Pisa doesn't use a crutch.
There is nothing, however. to stop
any one from showing he can write
better motion pictures than any one
else, 1t is open season.

Will NOT DISARM
Japs at Washington Farley
Are Not Sincere.
Delegates Sent From Toxic
Warlike, Says Ozaki.

(Copyright. 1921, by International News
Service)
Toxic, Sept. 2.-There is no desire
or intention among Japanese cabinet
or military officials to limit armament
in the Mikado's empire or any pro-
gress in that direction will have to be
made at Washington, Yukio Ozaki,
Japan's foremost progressive, who led
the fight in the Japanese diet to in
augurate disarmament, told the Inter
national News Service in an exclusive
interview today.
For forty years Ozaki has been in
Japanese public life, having been a
member of the first diet of the en-
pire, a former minister of justice and
for ten years mayor of Toxic.
Ozaki said the japanese delegation
to Washington would be more influ-
enced by the army and naval chief
tains than by disarmament sentiment
at home, or by a-y wish for world
peace.
Japan, since the Chinese war, has
been suffering with egotism, Ozaki
said. Many people still keep this
egotism. and many of our people,
famed in their opinions by such
papers as the Kokumin and the Man
cho, see maginary enemies"

PLAN TO ESCAPE
RumOr Started That COnvicts
May Use Dynamite.
Search Being Made of Prison
Buildings for Explosives.

Even the comforts of home in prison
management don't soften the hearts of
some criminals. M. F. Amrine. warden
of the state penitentiary at Lansing,
came to Topeka today with a report
that investigation had been started of
a rumor that convicts planned to
dynamite the prison entrance. Search
of the prison mines and building is
now being made for a large supply of
explosives believed to be in possession
of conVictS.
Armine's report to state officials
today was the first public announce
ment of an investigation which has
been under way for some weeks. Ac-
cording to reports men serving prison
terms are in possession of large sup
plies of nitro glycerine and dynamite
Their cache is believed to be located
somewhere in the big state prison
mine. Warden Amrine explained that
it was like looking for needle in q
haystack" and that no direct clue had
been found.
In Face of Reform Policies.
The report of the state prison de-
livery attempt is in face of reform pol
icies which have been in practice al
the penitentiary for several years. In
spite of the effort to make the prison
appear as homelike as possible there
among the inmates. State officials al
times have felt that improved fare and
environment may have been partially
responsible for the big increase in
crime and boosting of the prison popu-
lation. But it doesn't harmonic with
recent escapes and reported attempts
at mutiny.
Warden Amrine may present the
mutiny report to Governor Allen and
members of the state board of ad-
ministration at a conference late this
afternoon. The conference is being
held to discuss methods of improving
the prison plant and electrifying the
mines. An appropriation of $225,00C
was made for this purpose by the last
legislature.
The plan for a prison mutiny and
dynamiting of the penitentiary walls
follows closely on a recent attempt OF
a number of convicts to escape. One
prisoner was shot, altho several mer
succeeded in climbing the high prison
wall.
Recently the prison warden re-
ceived a kindly letter from the mar
who made good his escape. He said
he was sorry he had run away. But
he didn't come back. altho he wanted
the state to sense his full apprecia-
tion of the attempt to make him com
Portable while he was inside the
prison walls.

New York, Sept %. Lowell
Sherman, actor, and member of the
"Arbuckle party" in San FRANCISCO at
injuries from which she subsequently
died, made a deposition before Dis
trict Attorney Edward Swami this
afternoon in which he declared he had
not seen Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle use
any violence towards the girl, or even
put his hands upon her prior to going
into a bedroom with her or after
wards
Sherman said he saw Miss Rappe
writhing in pain on a bed in Ar
buckles sleeping champer, but
thought she was suffering from in
digestion or from too much drink
This was Sherman's first official
statement
Guests Came After Noon.
Sherman's statement to District At
torney Swami follows:
Il was a guest of Mr.. Arbuckle on
the occasion in question in rooms 1919
and 1920 and 1921, St. Francis hotel,
San Francisco, on Monday, September
(Labor day), 1921. Mr.. Arbuckle
and Frederick Fishback occupied a
bedroom at one end of the suite and 1
had a bed at the other end. There
was a living room between the two
bedrooms referred to.
I'VE had breakfast about 1890
O'Clock that morning. Between 1 and
that afternoon, the guests began to
arrive until there were about a dozen
people in the living room. Miss Vir-
ginia Rappe came in with Mrs. Bam-
bina belmont. The men present were
Mr.. Fishback, Mr.. Semancher, a man
named Fortlouis (who 1 think is a
travelling man or Hickson's, the dress
maker) and myself. The names of the
ladies in the party have been pub
lished from time to time in the news
papers.
The refreshments consisted of a
