What Film Stars Like.

WE all like to be entertained. In
" fact. statistics show that in
America the silver dollars spent an
nually for entertainment amount up
to a dizzy fortune. But the manner
Of amusement we seek is a different
thing. Some of US like to laugh. and
it would seem that some Of US would
prefer to weep. 4
The photoplay stars express their
own preferences as to the emotions
they wish to have played upon when
seeking amusement.
SHOW me play or picture that
will make me laugh" says Priscilla

Provost. Even If tears do take the
powder off my nose. l always feel

the really worthwhile pictures and
plays are sad, in some parts, at least.
And I really believe that 1 enjoy
weeping at the theater-it is one
place where l always feel my tears
are justified, and there aren't many
occasions or places where weeps have
any right to be INDUCED in," said the
little star.

me sad. then makes me laugh, makes

Emotional Strain.

TT is not the emotional actor alone
who finds his roles a severe tax on
his nervous system. Nobody seems to
consider mis- working partner, and yet
the latter often finds a strong emotional
scene every bit as trying as tho chief
person concerned
For example. George Fftzmaurice. who
has been in Italy shooting exteriors for
his next picture. 1.-THE Man From
Home" was directing James Kirkwood
and Jose Ruben in a particularly dra-
matte episode Of the story. Ruben, in the
character Of Ribiere, is wrongly sus-
pected Of his wife's murder and IL fee
ing from the carabiniers who arc on his
trail. Half distraught, he throws him
self on the protection Of Kirkwood, the
imam from home"
Ruben has established for himself a
we'll deserved reputation az one of
Americas finest emotional actors. and
he lived up to that reputation superbly
In his portrayal OF q man half demented
with grief and terror. After the scene
was over, Kirkwood approached Fitz-
maurice and asked whether he wanted

Food for the Mentally Starred.

@THE screen play" says Basil King.
the author. seems to me to hnd
its greatest place in bringing imagina-
tive stimulus to the millions and millions
of simple people. who had hitherto been
obliged to go without that prime essen
tial Of life.
at must never be forgotten that the
Imagination Is that power In the human
mind which enables US to live life
abundantly.
There is such a thing as having life
In low degree, and also such a thing as
having it in high degree. The imagin-
alive faculty may be said to be that
which determines the quantity Of life
which we individually possess. Those
who have rich imaginations live
largely; those whose imaginations are
starved live poorly, feebly, In ,hampered
conditions. with little outlook. and with
direction Of the sensual or criminal.
Those Of US whose imaginations
have, all our lives. been fed by travelling,
reading. the theater, or some other
form of art, have no conception Of the
impoverished mental state Of the i'm
people Of the world. but Of our home
born Americans. What they have got
from books and the theater, from art
in general. has always been meager-
never enough to satisfy the cravings Of
the average healthy nature.
''Now comes to them this easy access
sible avenue, opening up the whole road
Of human emotions in the world at large.
Is 1t any wonder that they have turned
to it. not only in our own big cities.
or out in poorly nourished country
districts. but all over Europe, in Mex
leo, in South America, in China, in
India, in the very heart Of Africa?

CAND may be sand and water GER
tainly is water, but the sand Of
Yuma Is not the sand Of Ell Sugundo.
However, nobody suspected this until
the lynx-eyed moving picture camera
divulged the fact.
Universal Is making a film adapta-
ton Of William j. Neidig's magazine
story. The Slipper Tongue" under
the title. Tracked to Earth" The
requirements of the picture call FOR
quite a bit Of desert stun. and for
that reason the Frank Mayo company
was sent to Yuma. which isn't far
away from Universal City. Here some
very fine close-ups OF Mayo half
buried in the sand were taken.
Atmospheric conditions made II
necessary to have one OF the most
important Of these shots retaken. So
Mayo and the camera man were sent
to another desert location at Ell Su-
gundo. quite a bit nearer to Universal
City, to retake this one scene.
The atmosphere was fine this time
but when the cutter tried to match in
the retaken set he discovered to his
horror that the sand of Yuma was
very fine sand and that the sand OF
Ell Sugundo was extremely COARSE

Ten Years of Pictures.

more interested in the screen than
in the stage.

movies are now flocking to see them

Can Fool Camera.

The camera man, the star and the
location man had entirely overlooked
the grade Of sand. and no one in the
moving picture colony in Los Angeles
even suspected that there was any
difference in the countless grains Of
sand in the Great American desert.
The camera eye, however. could not
be deceived, and the difference which
it presented in the two qualities OF
sand was so startling that the COM
pany had to be sent back to Yuma to
have the retakes made there.
