NY HEN a child weeps In the
" movies are the tears real
or is she acting?
Well. here's the manner in
which Director Emory johnson
opened little Josephine Adairs
salt water ducts in In the Name
of the Law"
Little Josephine had been pre-.
sented with "a beautiful doll that
could close its eyes and 80 to
sleep, and again, could wake UP
and set up an awful howl mere
ly through pressure on her
''tummy." 1t was necessary for
josephine to cry In one OF the
early scenes Of the picture, but
no coaxing that she adopt a make
believe attitude along those lines
had any effect. On the contrary,
she made 1t plain that 1t didn't
suit her mood to have any sad
ness thrust on her on that rar:
ticular day. She laughed and
giesled and simply wouldn't be
serious.
Valuable daylight was being
sacrificed meantime, so Mr.. John.
son, seeing that different methods
had to be adopted with Josie II
the scene were to be registered
before sundown. quietly stole up
behind the lass and purloined her
prized doll. He removed it's dress.
tore It into tatters, then, hiding
the doll. ran onto the set.
"Oh, JOSIE" he cried, "a bad
dog has stolen your doll and tore
it all to pieces"
Startled. Josephine looked all
about her and found the doll
missing.
"See, here is all that's left OF
poor Belinda" and the director
showed Josephine the tattered
remnants of the doll dress.
Did Josephine cry then? Size
did.
Director johnson visited the toy
department Of big store the next
morning to buy Josephine a ccm.
plete and dazzling wardrobe for
the dolly, which had been restored
to her.

ton in the Paramount Stock Com.
pany School. II mean this ap-
piled to the homes themselves with
the effect on the inmates left for
others to discuss"
When motion pictures first he
gan the sets used were a joke.
They were caricatures Of the real
thing. they were places manifest
ly meant to act in but not to. live
in. Gradually improvement came,
cheap painted canvas sets were
replaced by sets Of solid wood with
real wallpaper, real hardwood
wainscoting, real linen curtains,
excellent pictures, attractive furni.
ture, in other words the rooms Of
the movies came closer and closer
to the ideal Of a real home.
And then as competition be-
came keener and keener between
the various motion picture pro-
ducers, art directors began to
formulate new and original
touches. The art Of simplicity be-
gan to be practiced; less furniture
was used in motion picture sets:
more care was lavished on both
architectural and decorative details
and as a result home-makers
everywhere began to adopt for
their own ideas first seen in a mo-
ton picture.
ITS a tendency that puts q
tremendous responsibility upon the
makers Of motion pictures. We
can observe the effect on the
standards Of home architecture
and home decoration. But good
results can be obtained only II all

beautiful set, perfectly decorated,

not such as to take artistic COM
binations in the black. gray and
white values of the screen; IL it's
proportons are not such as to per.

ing out Of the dramatic incidents.
1T Is for these reasons that
welcomed the formation of the
Paramount Stock Company School
and appreciate the action Of
Jesse L. Lasky in making me an
instructor Of architecture and
interior decoration. I consider this
school just one step along the path
to the ideal where all motion
pictures will show human, lovable
people acting In a human, lovable
way in sets that seem precisely
suited to them-'homey,' in other
words. And as the sets becomes
more honey so will the general
public be. more inclined to take the
ideas into their own homes AMI
thereby make II more and more a
truth that the motion pictures are
helping to create real artistic an.

reach.

Of the director, Of the actor, Of the
photographer and they will learn

go alone. l take with me one of these
white men upon the Long Trail"
He drew q knife which he had con-
cealed upon his person and plunged
the blade into the side Of n Of his
guards. The next moment he fell to
the ground riddled with bullets. AS
he fell he was singing his death song.
He gave one last defiant warwhOop,
then died.
Sstank (Set-angya-Sitting Bear),
who IA both a chief and medicine
man, was the leader of the Ka-itsenkO
or Real Dogs" the highest military
order in the tribe. This was a select
body Of ten of the bravest warriors
who were pledged to lead every des-
perate charge and to keep their place
In the forefront of battle until they
won victory or death.
Once in a fight with the Pawnees,
S~et-angya engaged an enemy and Vas
about to stab him with u lance when
bis foot slipped on the snow. The
Kiowa chief fell and the Pawnee sent
an arrow through Satank's upper lip.
This wound left a lifelong scar, al
though 1t was not easily seen, for Sa-
tank wore a mustache, a are thing
among the Indians. This incident
showed the importance of Satank in
his tribe, for the calendar history Of
the Kiowas, a Photographic record Of
their great deeds, gives 1t as the lead
ing event of 1S46-47 and that year Is
known as "the winter when they shot
the mustache."
In 1870 Satank's son was killed
while raiding in Texas. The old chief
went down into that state, gathered

them about with him on a special
horse, kept them on a special plat
form erected in his tepee and gave
feasts in honor of his son. my son Is
not dead; he is sleeping" he would
explain to the old men who gathered
about the fire with him.
The next year, in company with Sa-
tanta and Big Tree, the Sitting Bear
led a val party into Texas, attacked a
wagon train and killed seven white
men. When he returned to Fort Sill
he boosted of the deed to General
Sherman, who "a visiting there. Sher-
man ordered the arrest of the three
chiefs. On May %, 1871, when the
military started to take Satank to
Texas for trial as a murderer, he
showed them how a chief can die"
