Imagine the chagrin, then. OF one
very prominent and beautiful young
star who was compelled by most
insistent director recently to tackle
a meal that would have appeased the
appetites of even the most ravenous
railroad section gang.
The star was Hope Hampton and
the occasion was the filming Of a
certain scene for her latest First

points out. ono must sacrifice many

Screen Acting Has Improved

TUST as photography. stories and
} scenic upholstery have changed
in pictures, SO has the acting. The
recent revival Of some Of the old
time films ("old-time" meaning ten
years ago) has made the most ap-
proved screen histrionics Of them
seem almost ludicrous in comparison
with the acting methods OF today. In
fact. some of the most serious ef-
forts of earlier periods have been
used on programs recently for the
laughter they produced:
That is why. in the revival OF
some OF the older pictures. 1t Is nec-
essary to entirely reflm them" ex-
plains Wheeler Oakman. who has the
title roles in Oliver Morosco's The
Ten years ago there was little or
no screen technique as we know II
now. Motion picture acting at that
stage was gesticulatory and extrava-
CANT. The physical action was dia-
gramatic and without varying tempo
walking was in stacy. stilted strides
and we did II as we used to do 1t on
the kerosene circuits in cheap rep
ertorie.
I'm the earlier pictures when 'ac-
ton was the one big, guiding rule
there was a sameness in all scenes.
The picture was supposed to start at
high speed and maintain the pace.
There was no careful balancing up
of moods and scenes for contrasts Or
relative values. We put all the phys
ical energy we had into every scene.
Every time we came into a room
it required a dramatic entrance with
pose. We never left a scene without
turning for sigh, scowl or tri-
umphant look. We were acting all
over the place at all times.
Some Of the f1stic scenes were made
with painful reality. And they were
poor on the screen. The good film
fight is one which is made spectac-
ular and convincing by the regis
tering of face as well as fst. In
some of the pictures prizehghters
were brought in to make the clash
more real And what a disappoiet-
ment. The skilled boxer used his
arms SO rapidly that the action was
lost by the camera"

In large measure of persons who had
never been inside a theater before
and who regarded their visit to Ben

Gay Life in a Trunk.

WALLACE REID has an inventive
streak. In his next picture, 1.-The
Ghost Breaker" there Is long
sequence Of scenes which show his
efforts to hide in a trunk. While the
scenes were shot he had to remain
in the trunk, for the action of the
picture called upon him to lift the
lid repeatedly and see what was go
ing on about him.
The day was hot and humid-a fine
day to do nothing more than recline
in the shade with long cool drink
rather than sit cooped up in a trunk.
Then "Wally' had the bright idea
He sent to the property rooms for
the divers air pump, which Jack Holt
used in "The Man Unconquerable, ;"
and had the hose rup up through a
hole in the stage into the trunk.
With a saxophone in one hand and
a carafe of ice water in the other he
climbed in and made himself COM
Portable. Holding the hose under one
arm, while a studio laborer below

Historical and literary investiga- |
tions of the last few years have great |
ly enlarged the knowledge of men re- !
garding the preparation of the world |
for Christ. They have brought into |
view vast array of facts Of exactly |
the same type and meaning as the Cos

work. III
Regarding thS-barts of the gospel
story which portray the Savior at work
1t is unnecessary to say anything moro
than that they show the universally
Of His interest and the comprehensive
ness OF His saving work. He minis
tered to the body by healing the dis
eases of men. He mingled with the
poor and by sharing their poverty he
instilled the conviction that poverty
might be made a means Of good. He
ministered to the minds of men by
training them to see God their heaven
ly Father in the world OF nature about
them as we'll as in the events of human
history. His interest as teacher did
not lie in the facts he used as illustra-
tons, but in the one great truth they
illustrated, namely, the fatherly love
and care Of God.
Then Jesus ministered to the souls
Of men. He preached the gospel of the
kingdom. He persuaded men to accept
God as their heavenly fatherly ruler
and live in peace with their fellowmen.
Finally the gospel story shows the
Savior as far-seeing leader who had
a vision OF the world saved from sin
and brought back to the knowledge
and fellowship of God. Jesus therefore
made his call for workers. He saw
the harvest great The need intense.
He called for laborers and enioined
them to pray that the Lord Of Harvests
should send forth laborers into His
harvest

A good New Years resolution Is to
read the Daily Public Ledger every
evening before retiring It's not the
biggest newspaper but 1t, is the best
, local hometown paper. ANY local
news of general Importance will be
found in its columns.
The Public Ledger donates its space
each Friday to the publication of the
church announcements. If the publish
ers of this paper are liberal enough to
donate this space, the pastors of the
various churches, should be consid-
crate enough to have their notices in
this office on time. In the future only
such notices as are in this office by
noon Friday will be published. This is
final. Notices reaching here after Fri
day noon will be consigned to the
waste basket.
The announcement OF the Watch
Night service at the Third Street NJ. K.
church reminds us of the night at such
a service when the boys stopped the
town clock and a certain pious old
sister prayed for more than an hour
waiting for the clock to strike twelve
and announce the end of the old year
and the birth of the new.
Progressive farmers of the Aberdeen
neighborhood are to have a Farmers
Institute in our neigkbor town within
a few days and some of the leaders in
agriculture Of the great state of Ohio
are to address them. This shows a
progressive spirit among our neigh
boring Ohio farmers and we congrat-
ulate them upon their efforts to i'm
prove themselves in their life's work. |
