Films Are a Parade
OF Sculpture, Says
Theodore Kosloff

"The art Of the motion picture" says

artist, who plays an important role in
Wallace Reid's Paramount picture. "The
Dictator which comes TO the Rialto
to-day. "is the art Of the plastique
drama. II Is. 20 10 speak. the moving
sculpture Of life. Life itself is the
finest Of all arts, and should be studied
By mankind just as other forms OF art
are studied. Life is action. without
action there Is no life.
Not one OF the other arts keeps so
close TO the real forms Of life. It's
problems, its aims, its currents. As the
art Of the motion picture. This is one
reason for the tremendous success OF
the films the world over. There is an un-
conscious desire to find new form, new
construction OF life. new contours and
sculpture. The crowds go to the pic
lures. the art which is nearest 10 life.
Uneonseiously people turn to art for
the answer to their questions and prob
lens. The motion picture is best fitted
TO answer these questions. and it
should give satisfaction to this univer-

Which Is More Deadly,
The Blonde or Brunette ?

Which Is the moro dangerous vam-
pire-the blonde or the brunettel
Even scientists are taking an interest
In this question. Interest was revived
when William Fox produced "A Fool
There Was" which has recently been
completed. At first Mr.. Fox had thought
of having n blond vampire, which
would, Of course, be contrary TO all the
traditions Of the screen.
But finally Estelle Taylor, brunette,
was chosen. She was picked out Of
more than fifty actresses, after pro-
fessor Of the University Of California
had stated that she possessed all the
physical attractions and chemical
makeup owned by Cleopatra, Helen Of
Troy, Dubarry and other famous
beauties.
But Professor W. B. Mooney, who
wrote the book Mental Measurements
differs with his California colleague
who selects the brunette as the most
dangerous Of her sex. DR.. Mooney
states that blondes are shrewder. more
combative and more likely TO fight for
their rights and hold on TO their prop
erty than are brunettes.
He proves his point to his own salts
faction by tracing the descent OF the
blonde from the Nordic tribes Of pre-
historic days. Their women, he argues,
we're stronger, cleverer and sharper
witted than the dark-haired women Of
the south. "The vampires we are ac-
customed to, the black-haired ones,
kiss much and often. To kiss is their
second nature. They kiss with more
art than sincerity. The blonde kisses
but seldom. and when she does her
soul goes with it. When she turns her
head toward a vampires goal she has
moro In her one kiss with which to
lure her intended victim than has
brunette in a score Of h'r csresses."
