 For some years Miss Weber has been trying to arrange a trip abroad but never at any time was it possible for her to satisfy her mind that she was entitled to a trip, because she had never been able to get far enough ahead with production to take a trip which might, if conditions are en- tirely wrong on the other side. be- come only a six weeks vacation.
 During the past year Miss Weber managed to conclude the production of two exceptionally powerful special films, which are to be distributed by the F. B. Warren Corporation, the first of these being "The Blot" which has created such a stir throughout the country. Having these two com pleted productions on hand, Miss Weber decided that finally she would be able to venture into foreign lands and attempt to fulfill her long cher ished ambition to make stories from an American viewpoint with Ameri- can ideas in an atm osphere that would be distinctive and new to the American eye.
 Miss Weber's activities abroad will certainly be watched with excep- tlonal interest in this country, be- cause if she should decide to pro- duce on the other side she would cer- tainly, by her methods be able to give the screen some of the most re- markable films that have ever been shown.

WOMAN MOTION PICTURE
 PRODUCER MAKES HER BOW Lois Weber Goes to Europe Where She Will Make Features-First of Her Sex to Direct Successful Plays.

Lois Weber. who sailed last week on the Aquitania for Europe. has high hopes of doing sohe wonderful things in the way of producing in Europe.
 When Miss Weber departed for the other side there was considerable comment regarding the fact that, while she made it very plan that her intention was to produce in Europe and possibly continue producing on a trip around the world if conditions justified it, she was not taking with her a staff or players Or technical people.
 The film business has known Miss Weber as one of the most prominent producers in the industry over a period of great many years. She has had more consistent success than any other producer, and for years has prospered in the way of salary and profits more than any other inde- pendent director, with the result that today she is probably beyond question the wealthiest of our film personali- ties who really have confined their efforts to production and producing.
 An analysis of Miss Weber's work over a period of years clarifies the apparent mystery of her starting to Europe to produce with nothing but her note books of stories written by herself.
 Miss Weber's only thought in leav- ing her home-like studio in Holly wood, where she has converted what is really beautiful estate into a studio, was to secure new atmosphere for a production or two and at the

EMPIRE
(nDangerous Business.ol

Today's attraction at the Empire theatre will be photodrama with the impress of novelty, namely "Dan- gerous Business" in which Constance
 Talmadge plays a difficult role with such verve that many new devotees
 will be added to her ever-increasing legion of admirers. A wish that IS ever present in the heart of 8 patron is at last to be fulfilled, namely, to be agreeably surprised and perhaps
 a trifle sh hocked for the moment. With nearly every situation exhausted, the playwright of screen dramas is hard put to invent a new one, and so as a rule there ensues the commonplaces and banalities of many offerings. But
 in Dangerous Business Nancy Fla
 we'll, the madcap heroine, is hoist by her own petard, and when her
 "supposed' husband orders her to un-
 dress and go to bed in their bridal
 suite. in his mothers home. she
 pleads her unwedded state Then
 she disrobes and gets into bed while
 the man sits on the side of the bed
 and begins to undress. No one ar
 rives to save her. You gasp with amazement at the daring situation. It's unconventionality will certainly
 create discussion. It is the desire of the management of this theatre to provide strong plays of true dramatic worth and in Dangerous Business
 an unusual treat awaits. Don't fail to put this offering on your screen calendar, for it is simply too good to miss

GAMES FOR YOUR HALLOWEEN
 PARTY

fAtSI4.
 The following games are all appro- priate to play at your Halloween party:
 shells and in each half shell secure a small candle upright by means o1 sealing wax. Two guests at a tms will sail these little boats in large tub of water. If the two boats knock together when the water is agitated, nipples (the hostess must keep st1r' ring it with a small stick) the two who are sailing them will have quarrel. If the boats sail in different directions the two players hold dir. ferent opinions upon all subjects. II the boats sail in the same direction, the two players are very much alike in character If the boats are cap sized, the players are facing financial Indsfortune; if. on the other hand, they sail from one side of the tub to the other, the two players have hnan- cial success in store for them. If the boats seem undecided in which di- rections they wish to go, the players have the habit of changing their ~ minds fgequently. Write these inter- pretations on large card ana hans them near the tub before the game begins, so that all may see at a glance what the course of the little boats denotes.
 The Witches Fortunes: Dress up a small doll as witch and seat her beside two large bowls. These bowls are filled to the top with dry leaves through which are hidden slips Of paper bearing written Fortunes One bowl Is for men, the other for the women. In the mems bowl will be such sentences as this: '"The one you love has golden hair; Brown eyes will win your heart You will s.You will wed very suddenly; Mar riage is around the corner; ''The girl you love will help you to sue ceed": An economical wife will be your blessed portion; Tall and auburn haired will your loved one be-: You will quarrel often with your sweetheart" Such sentences as these will be found in the woman's bowl: He will be true to you until death; You are secretly loved" ; Your husband-to-be will soon arrive upon the Scene'; Ten months from will wear a wedding ring soon"; You will go to Europe on your honeymoon; He may be poor, but he is pure gold";; Don't mind his tempers, for he worships you"; ''You will receive letter from your in tended" Men and women will take turns drawing one slip and reading it aloud.

The dollar sign means that great wealth will be won; the coin, that moderate financial success is ahead; the ring that a wedding is the play CTS fate; the thinble that the player will go unwed. and the horseshoe that the player will be lucky for a year.

In all the length and breadth of fiction there is no more picturesque a charactr than Hajj, the beggar ot Bagdad Edward knoblock, the playwright, made Hajj famous in the stage version of "Kfsmet," and Ot1s Skinner, perhaps the best known ana most popular actor in the country, immortalized Hajj during the years he gave life to this characterization on the stage.

It is a safe prediction that the swag- gering, crafty, adventure-loving and amusing old Bagdad vagabond will win every ones heart and in the years to come when old plays are discussed, his memory will be green

Beauty Chats
AN ELASTIC FIGURE
By EDNA KENT FORBES

The woman who wants to appear young must keep her figure not only slender but elastic also Plumpness means maturity. too much fat over the body destroys all beauty of line and for slender curves substitutes Jumps and bulges.
 An artist would tell you that the lines Of youth are always flowing lines that seem to melt into each ather, that give an impression of action. You will see the same principle in a draw ing when you look at a badly done wooden" figure that seems to live up on canvas. In the wooden" picture the lines are stiff. in the we'll done one they are all lines of action.
 It is this same principle of the liy- ing figure that makes one woman look old and another one young. The young figure is always elastic. Exer- nnes Of action and to keep the figure slender and supple. The best exer- clses are those which apply to the waist and back, since the mature fig elastic.
 Standing with the hands above the head and stepping to touch the floor With the finger tips is a splendid ex- particularly for keeping the back young. Standing with the hands on the hips and revolving the upper part of the body without moving the hips oSluS IIle "dlSI as a D1VOt is splendid for reducing flesh on the ab- domen and for keeping the waist line young.
 Margie:-Very few girls wear cor sets at 14 years of age and many do not wear them at any age. The girl who stands properly, and dresses in clothing that is not burden to carry does not need a corset, unless she is very stout. Corsets are being more and more simplifed on lines, con forming to those of the body and so sortened that the wearer is not in a straight jacket as was thought proper many years ago. The thing to do is to put off tNe day for wearing corsets as long as possible, keeping your body that you will not feel the need of them.
 T. E. B.:-The soft kid curriers' are not hurtful to the hair, but if your hair is inclined to be curly, why at tempt any curling that will look ar 1hclal? A natural wave is always softer and more artistic than any that Is mode, no matter how it is done.
 Little MiSs:-Yo our weight is correct as 1t is and it should not interfere with your taking up toe dancing.
