URIC NOW POSING
FOR NOTED ARTISTS
IN ROLE OF "KIKI"

Lenore Uric as "Kikr' in the
Belasco production Of that name
has succeeded in interesting artists
in her stage character.
Her appeal to them lies in the
fact that while Mile. Eiki was
written to be a native Of France.
she Is in way universal. She
seems to have embodied all the
gamines Of Balzac, Maupassan and
lola.
Nicol Schattenstein. the Russian
portrait painter. was the first artist
to ask Miss Uric to sit for him.
AS the role Of kiki is longer than
Hamlet and exacts an intense emo
tional as well as a physical strain
(she stands rigid on her toes for
twenty minutes in the last ac),
it was learned she could not stand
the fatigue of posing.
Miss Uric, however. appointed
midnight as the hour for the sit
tings. Baby spotlights were sub
stituted for the sun and she. was
painted as she appeared in the
third act
This picture was exhibited in a
New York art gallery a short time
ago. 1t revealed her standing
against a background Of green and
brown. a laughing, vivid figure, not
unlike some pictures of Bernhardt
when she was young.
A few weeks ago Charles Dana
Gibson asked Miss Uric to pose for
him. She went to his studio and
after a few sittings the portrait
was finished. His picture is a
wonderful head. the bobbed hair
achieving a new angle. the ex-
spression OF the face depicting all
the subtle moods OF Xxi.
Miss Helene Saudeau, young
Belgian artist, conceived the I'M
usual idea Of casting Miss Ulric's
features in a series of character
dolls dressed as Kiki. The artist
came to the theater every night
before the performance. and in the
stars dressing room modelled the
dolls with the exactness of a mini
ature.

Even brief conversation with
the average American flm director
will serve to convince the casual
Iayman that the wielder of the
mcgaphonc has his troubles, even
when guiding the artistic cndeavors
of strictly American company
through tho action of wholly
American phOtodrama.
For many years it has. been the
custom to re-create any desired for
eign scene in or about the vari
egated precincts of Los Angeles.
OF late, however, there has evil
denced itself a distinct inclination
on the part of many of the fore
most producers to send their casts
to the actual locales Of the stories
to be recorded in celluloid. This
practice, il seems, has reduced the
wear and tear on the nervous sys-
tenn of the art director, but has in
creased the hazard in the case Of
the gentleman who directs the ac-
ton.
Norma Talmadge is the most re
cent commentator on the difficulties
of utilizing foreign aid to bring
verisimilitude to the pictured scene.
A person must be not only a BIZ
linGuist but a master Of all lam
guages if one intends 10 mingle
with all kinds of people in the
west Indies. according to Miss Tai
madge.. The famous screen star
has just returned from Jamaica,
where she made exteriors for her
latest First National attraction,
Loves Redemption" which will be
seen for the first time in Washing
ton at Crandalls Metropolitan
Theater, beginning this afternoon
at 8.
Miss Talmadge knows whereof
she speaks. because it was neces-
sary for her, in the course of pro-
duction, TO mingle with the natives.
Some of the inhabitants appeared
on the picture as extras and 1t was
patois. resulting from association
with English. French, Spanish and
Portuguese merchants.
For a while it sounded like a
Tower of Babel" Miss Talmadge
commented The nearest approach
to English on the part of the
natives is a sort Of pigeon Eng
lish that has a lot Of sounds ana
queer words we should never recog-
nize.
The first time I had to mingle
with some of the natives in a scene
they quit at meal time and said
something that sounded like Bull
lamacow banana kai-kai.' After a
while it was explained to me. They
were going to cat sausage.
"'Kai-kai' means any kind of a
meal. 'Bullamacow' stands as a
general term for meat. A sausage
has the general shape of a banana,
and the term passes for sausage
with the natives.
