Helped Make Her Deceitful
Again / once knew Il woman who
was naturally very truthful and honest
and omen in all her ways. She married
a man who had very irritable temper
and a way of blaming her to an exagger-
ated extent not only for her fa,llts ana
mistakes but for many of the newt
able annoyanees and mishaps of daily
life-when something III the house was
! broken, or when bill was larger than
he expected. The result has been that
she developed habit of deceit toward
him because she is high strung and
sensitive and cannot stand up against
this irritabilitv. He is much displeased
when he finds out some of these small
deceits. Yet he himself has unques'
tionably done much to warrant this
treatment (I will not say he should

FREDERICK DIVINE
IN DOWDY ARTIST SMOCK

Pauline Frederick, who, to the great
disappointment Of her many followers
recently deserted the screen for the
stage, proves conclusively that she is
one Of the few screen actresses who
al wear shabby clothes and still be
attractive. She proved it in Madame
X; she proves it again in THE Glory
of Clementina," her. latest and last pro-
duction which is being shown in pic
ture houses. William Locke's novel
calls for the role of a successful
woman portrait painter, who soured at
life in general and men in particular
is perfectly content to go to seed in
a dowdy artist smock.
But she is woman enough to fight
with a woman's weapons when she is
again in danger Of losing her love and
the latter part Of the picture shows
Pauline respondent again in beautiful
gowns. Movie fans are flocking to say
their adieus to Miss Frederick in 'The
Glory of Clementina." 1t is doubtful
whether the screen will ever see her
again for the stage was her first love
and it msy be her last.

getting any publicity for it. But let one
scandal break and he's in the spotlight
at once. That's the way it is with
motion pictures. It's just the way
things are; that's all. No one is to
blame. But it's unfortunate.
Movie Actresses"
There is another angle to the ques-
ton from a motion picture point of
view, too. That is the custom in news
paper offices of referring to women of
a certain type in scandal stories as
movie actresses" when they are not
movie actresses at all. This writer in
the years he was working as a news
paper reporter did that movie actress
and chorus girl thing himself-not
realizing in the slightest the entire lack
of good, not to mention the injustice,
it was doing the theatrical profession.
Fortunately. many editors of news
papers-the average editor, it would
appear--jumps at an opportunity to
print something helpful. That per-
haps, is why SO many editors ordered
special stories written about THE Old
Nest that motion picture of mother
hood, which Rupert Hughes wrote, and
which Goldwyn produced.
Friends and a%cquaintances still
speak to the writer about the effect
THE Old Nest" had upon them, and
how they went right to the nearest
telegraph office and shot a message
home to their mothers.
And THE Old Nest" is. only one of
many motion pictures that have, in
the guise of stirring drama, slipped
over a sermon on the public. Hughes

Remembrance" in which f%atherhood is
the theme.
Nowhere, probably, is virtue SO tri-
u%mphant, honor so nobly cherished, and
truth so certain to prevail as in the
white magic of the silver sheet.
Good OutweIghs Bad
If there is any great power Of sug-
gestion in motion pictures, all the evil
dence seems to be that the good greatly
outweighs the bad. But it's mighty
hard to trace the effect of the good;
while any time anyone does something
bad. it's the simplest thing in the world
to slam the blame on the movies.
In conclusion it might be mentioned
that all of the power of suggestion Of
motion pictures is not confined to spec
tators. In The Glorious Fool" a
Goldwyn picture by Mary Roberts
Rinehart. the action is laid in a hos
pital. One of the actors who had to
lie in bed Stimulating illness before the
camera, really became a temporary in
valid. The doctors said it was a clear
case of the power of suggestion.
It looks as if the movies are on
fronted with quite a task if they must
keep not only the public but players as
well in good health and perfect morals.
Doesn't it?
