mantle people from the shores of
Northern Africa overran Spain.
These Moors were a desert race.
capable of violent emotions. They
lived lavishly, loved madly and
danced constantly.
Their dances were indescrib-
able. Sometimes they were brutal,
lascivious and tempestuous, but
always tinted with a trace of the
beautiful-the exotic-the bizarre.
They lived to love and dance. and
in A frica, they trained their court
dancers from infancy. So when
they conquered Spain and fused
themselves with the Spanish houses
of aristocracy they injected into
Spanish blood that dancing desire.

Actors Surgical Makeup
Wins Praise From Ince
Milton Sills Accomplishes a New Screen
Marvel With Putty, Grease Paint

What Thomas H. Ince describes as

which Is expected to reach the
Washington screen by early winter.
In the opening scenes of the
story Mr.. Sills appears as the brazen
and clever lawbreaker whom every
policeman on New York's East Side
would like to see securely behind
the bars Of a prison cell. To render
these scenes convincing, convinc-
ing makeup was necessary.
His first step was to consult
national rogues' gallery, a huge
Photographic album containing pic
lures Of many of Americas most
notorious criminals. Here Mr.. Sills
found the type he wished to por-
tray on the serena hardened thug
who had served time in several
prisons. Copies of the picture were
made and the work Of endowing

shot jaw commenced.
The ears. apparently battered
into shapelessness in countless
Bowery brawls. were fashioned Of
soft putty. To obtain the effects of
a broken nose Mr.. Sills first forced
a large wad of cotton gauze into
one nostril, giving il a distorted
appearance. and then nodded putty
on the outside until the desired
shape was attained.
The undershot jaw was the most
perplexing problem, as II must not
interfere with his speech. Three
hard rubber dental plates were
finally made. These produced .
square, aggressive jaw when placed
inside the mouth between teeth and
cheeks.
A livid scar across one cheek was
made by drawing the skin together
and holding it in place with strips
Of invisible courtplaster. The whole
effect was smoothed off with grease
paint and powder. a battered derby
hat ard frcwsy brown suit. and Mil
ton SillS. the gentleman, was Bud
Doyle. the gangster.
The necessity of removing the
makeup after each days work be-
fore the camera and putting II on
again the next morning added 10
the difficulties. But in this a skilled
face-builder saved Mr.. Sills many
weary hours. New ears and nose
had to be applied exactly as they
were the day before. The discom-
fort of a face covered with putty
and paint and a mouthful of dental
plates was, of course. exceedingly
unpleasant.

GAVE HER A new
LEASE ON LIFE
That is What Morrisville
Woman Says After Tanlac
Overcame Her Troubles.

Hundreds of people, both men and
women, IN Trenton and vicinity are now
taking Tanlac with the most astonishing
and gratifying results and numbers have
come forward IN the past few days to
testify TO the benefits they have derived
from its use, among them being Mrs.
Anna +. Page, of Il Center street,
Morrisville, Pa, who is now seventy
two years of age. Mrs. Page has resided
in Morrisville all her life and is beloved
by all who know her In relating her
remarkable experience with Tanlac, Mrs.
Page said:
Il feel like | have been given new
lease on life and | do believe TanlaC
is the best and grandest medicine in the
world. My health had not been good in
several years and | had Just about lost
hope of ever feeling right any more,
When | started taking Tanlac, scarcely n
month ago now, / was so weak | could
not raise my hands as high as my shout
ders, but now | can lift good weight
above my head.
"My stomach was so disordered that |
could eat nothing but little bread and
tea and even that distressed me. |
suffered terribly with heartburn, would
bloat badly, and get SO dizzy ] would
go backwards instead of forwards. My
head Just seemed TO spin around like a
top. | Just tried everything for my
stomach, but with it all / kept losing
weight and strength. | got to where my
limbs would hardly hold me up. ! could
not go up or down the stairs and never
dared go away from the house.
when ] walked | would just stumble
along, dragging one foot after the other.
] had such bad pains through my Shout
ders and chest that | thought ] had
rheumatism and ] felt tired out all the
time. One day my son brought me a
bottle Of Tanlac and in two days could
tell it was doing me good. j have only
taken two bottles so far, and am also
taking the Vegetable Pills, but | am
feeling like young person already. My
stomach has improved until | can cat
Just anything / want without the least
distress afterwards. Why, the other day
! ate the first piece of pie ! haYe eaten
mover year and it did not hurt me a
particle.
81 have such an appetite that | told
my son would eat him out of house and
home. / have never gotten more pleas
ure out OF eating in my life. am now
able TO walk a good distance, 90 up and
down the stairs and do all my house
work and ] don't seem TO get tired any
more. The pains have left my chest and
shoulders, the dizziness is all gone, too,
and ! Just can't say too much in praise
Of Tanlac for what it has done for me-"
Tanlac is sold in Eckerd's Medicine
