RUBBER MASKS LATEST
INVENTION FOR ACTORS
(By United Press)

Berlin, April 1S.-Theater masks
made of rubber are the latest crea-
ton for German actors invented by
Heinrich Hall. The masks are paint
ed beforehand and the actor draws
the we'll fitting mask over his face:
The new invention is now bing tried
by film actors and is considered a
great advantage, especially by such
who have to play various roles IN
quick succession.
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1922-04-18

AS the masks are not made after
pattern, but for every special actor,
each mask must be made specially:
For this purpose an exact copy OF
the head of the actor is made. This
is covered with shallac over Wnlch
the rubber is pastd and torn OFT after
it gets dry. The mask is very thin
and delicate and reflects every emo

GETTING "NEW BLOOD"

Southern California has proved the value of advertising. The All-Year Club of the Southland has achieved remarkable results in turing tourists and homeseeke"s into that section ot the golden state. The municipalities of the Salt River Valley, taking leai from Los Angeles book, are planning to expend approximately $100,000 this year to inform the world about the resources of Arizona and the unusual opportunities afforded in the Salt Riv- CT Valley of which Phoenix is the cap ital. This is the development of an idea that has won. Few communities are prepared to spend so large sum for the same purpose, but they cannot escape the truth that when they make a bid for newcomers they must have something behind their invitation.
 And this should apply equally as well for Alaska. Up to the present time we have made strong bid for the tourist trade with nothing to offer in return save scenery. And this they must go to; it is not taken to them.
 If Seward or any other Alaskan town expects to make a success of the tourist business they must copy after the tourist resorts of the south, where tennis courts. golf links, swimming, | boating fishing and luxuriant hotels 1 await their pleasure We must give them so much for their money that they return home full of enthusiasm for Alaska and her people.

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY
con BY Louis oseTh Eanos

After five years of married life,
Lucinda bruce, New York society
matror concluded that wealth, youth,
beauty, social position and sincere
love, were not sufficient to hold the
affection of her husband, Bellamy
Druce. Weak-willed and selfish, Bel
had been guilty of series of esca-
pades il which promiscuous Irritation
and drunkenness had combined to hu-
initiate his wife
A broken promise to reform causes
Lucinda to leave him. Bel follows
her to Chicago and is prevented from
forcibly restraining her from going
to Reno by the Intervention of an
unidentified young man.
On the train Lucinda meets her
old friend, Fanny Lontaine, who with
her husband, is going to Hollywood,
where Harry Lontaine is thinking of
forming a motion picture company.
She learns tina, ne young man who
assisted her in escaping from Bel is
also on the train and that he is Lynn
Summerlad, prominent screen star.

with an uncertain smile-"suppose

''To tomorrow's morning star of
the screen, Linda Lee!'
Thus Lynn Summerlad, mildly ex-
allied, graceful and gracious even be-
yond his studied habit, flourishing a
glass of California champagne above
the dinner table in his bungalow at
Beverly Hills.
The toast went by reclamation,
and Lucinda laughed, at once graft
fled, diverted, and disposed to
deprecate the spirit Of these felicia
lions as premature.
A phrase of Culp's required I'M
hidden: "a lot of kids, that's what
we got to make pitchers with, a lot
Of kids"
1t was childish, in a way; on the
other hand, it was undeniably
pleasant to think of oneself as a
sort of Sleeping Beauty of the screen
only waiting to awakened to
vivid life by one wave of the witch
ing wand and self-confidence.

his early screen experiences and

CO ON WITH TIE STORY.

Seated in Section 10, waiting for
the porter to bring back his personal
imrediments from the drawing-room,
Harry Lontaine turned handsome
face to the window, frowning absent
ly, the nervous frown Of a man
whose cleverness has never proved
quite equal to the task of satisfy
ing appetites at once strong and
fastidious.
From this delectable realm the
dreamer WAS recalled by conscious
ness of somebody standing in the
aisle and staring impertinently. Lon
tame was too diligent a student Of
motion pictures not to know at sight
the features of Lynn Summerlad, by
long odds the most popular male
star of the American cinema. A
parsonage worth knowing

Lynn SUNDERLAND made a fourth at
the bridge table set up that afternoon
in the Lontaine drawing-room invit-
ed by Lontainc as an acquaintance
Of Lucinda's, and II grateful addition
to the party because he played some
thing better than merely a good
game.
Not only "fearfully easy to look
at" Gas Fanny confided to Lucinda)
but fair spoken and well, if at times
shade carefully hammered, he was
intelligent and ready of wit.
By nightfall Of the second day, it
was possible for Lucinda to make up
her mind that she liked Lynn Sum-
merlad decidedly. True that he was
not of her world; but then neither
was she herself any longer, in this
anomalous stage of the apostate
wife, neither wife nor widow, not
even honest divorcee.
If Summerlad's character as she
read it had faults, if an occasional
crudity fawed his finish, these
things were held to be condonable in
view Of his youth. He seemed ridicu-
lousy young to Lucinda but sure tc
improve with age, sure to take on
polish from rubbing up against life
Especially if he were so fortunate as
to find the right woman to watcf
over and advise him. An interesting
Not (she assured herself hastily

that it would be job to interest her
An absurd turn of thought, anyway
Why she had wasted time on it she
really didn't know Unless, OF
course, its incentive had lain in con-
| sciousnesS of Summerlad's naive
captivation. One couldn't very well
overlook that He was so artless
about it, boyish, and-well--nice
1t was most entertaining.
1t was also, if truth would out
