perience. This could become almost
mortal if prolonged. Try it-and you
will get an idea of what the star has
to do not infrequently.
Directors Restrain Stars.
No unnecessary risks are taken, but
. there is never the slightest hesitation
about undertaking them if called upon.
In fact, not infrequently the director
has to restrain the stars and others
from hazardous feats that are not es-
sential. They become so immersed in
their work that they forget even ordi-
nary precautions often times.
Not all the thrills went out when the
animal pictures became less popular or
when serials ceased to be the order of
the day. Of course, both styles of pic
lures are still made and the players take
many chances therein, but even in the
big dramatic pictures there are times
without number when star is called
upon to do things that require nerve
and daring or which call upon all their
reserve forces to sustain the tense scenes
which drain ones vitality almost as
much as big stunt

that scene in rehearsal half dozen
times before it was taken. Also several

They're paid for it." comments the
layman, and lets it go at that.
"Sure, they are paid for it. But they
amuse you, entertain you, don't they?"
answers the champion actor.
And the layman has to agree.
Every Story Must Thrill.
Pictures do not have to be thrillers
to contain difficult feats. Every story
must have certain thrill-if only a sim
pie thing. Maybe the thrill is one that
touches the emotions. Perhaps it is lust

Wha: do they 10, then, to gain this

hard work almost ell the time.
Let us consider a few examples
Take Gloria Swanson, the Paramount
star, in "Her Husbands Trademark di-
rected by Sam Wood. Among othef
things, she had to jump into the
Rio Grande on horseback and remain
in the icy stream for good many
minutes. On another occasion, she
plunged into the Waco tanks, as they're
called, and stayed there for an hour or
more while scenes were taken. They
had to lower her down CLASSY rock

pose in most of the small town
shop windows: 1--WE strive to Please?"
It is matter for conjecture as to
how much the public believed this as
sertion-its frequent use had rather
dulled its point and probably many a
shopkeeper who made use of it figured
that if he could please himself he had
sdone his full duty by others.
We strive to pleased"
The motion picture fraternity, how
ever, regard this as almost the rule of
existence. IF the producer, the exhib-
it-r, the actor can not please Mr.. and
Mrs. Public, he hasn't much chance of
surviving. And this same public is be-
coming so super-critical that to please
it is a greater task than the laynan
could ever dream of.
Stars Work Hard.
So the star especially works hard and
strives to please by giving the best that
is in him, by making the most of his
role. 1t is not entirely selfish, either.
The player gets great deal of pleas
ure out of merely knowing that he has
pleased his pubiic-that is na4cral. And
he knows that if re does succeed, he
ha- established HIMSELF III their hearts.
1t cannot be possible that he is unmoved

suited to the present fashion in dress,
With the distended hip line and other
reminders Of bygone days. The hair is
parted either at the middle or the side,
waved lightly back and then caught
high at the top of the head, then falls
in charming curls to the nape of the
neck.
The short girl with the too full neck
would be wise indeed to adopt this
style. 1t is, as a rule, very becoming
fashion and most feminine.
l think it is a great, even a grave,
mistake to try to dress the hair diff
ferently for evening wear. Adopt what
you decide is the ideal coiffure for your
type and then stick to it always. OF
course, for box parties, balls and the
like a hair trimming of some kind may
be added with successful result.
Spanish-looking huge combs are the
vogue, and 1 must say that they prove
generally becoming. Young girls have
always liked to wear flowers in their
hair and they must be pleased, for
just now this garniture is considered
quite the thing. Gold leaves and
grapes bandeau form d pretty and
festive headdress. Of course, you
should remember that the bandeau is
the most trying hair ornament in the
world, for it straps the forehead fiat
and naturally enlarges the nose.

Narrow-Brimmed Millinery Well to
Fore-NeW Models in Roll
and Straight Brims.

The spring millinery season in Paris
opens with the high-crowned, narrow
brimmed shape well to the fore. In
many of the shapes the brim is
slightly wider at the back than at
the front. Not infrequently, in fact,
models are entirely brimless, or have
the merest suggestion of narrow
visor at the front with wide, straight
brim of graduated width across the
sides and the back.
Generally speaking, this season
medium-sized hats with trims take
precedence over turbans or tOques
says Dry Goods Economist. This fol-
lows the usual rule for spring hats.
In which. with the first rays of sun
shine, brim of some sort is supposed
to be required. Especially is the brim
hat the herald of spring in France, for
the first models are created for wear
on the Riviera where the merciless,
even binding sun makes brim of
some Importance "a first necessity for
all styles of hats.
With regard to styles, thus far all
shapes are in the running, and new
models are shown in roIl-brim,
straight-brim and cloche styles.
A marked tendency toward very
thick brim treatments is noted, rolls
of velvet or of straw frequently ap-
pearing as finish to medium-shed roll
