Ho,uMuch Does Make-Up Count?

COME day probably there will be
an authoritative pronouncement as
to whether makeup is an aid or an
impediment to histrionic art; whether
the actor who plays a straight" part
effectively is nobler figure on the
boards or upon the screen than the
player who makes a hit swathed in
bundles of borrowed hair, coated with
grease paint and decorated with &C.
centric clothes. So far, nobody seems
to know. The subject. nevertheless.
Is not without it's interest.
e. H. Sothern has illumined the an
nails of the American theater with
gallery of impressive Shakespearian
portraits, his Petruchio being finely
farcical figure and MS Hamlet q nil
nutely studious impersonation of the
melancholy Dane. In both roles Soth-
ern the individual is plainly recog-
rather than the character dominates
the scene. Not so in The Merchant
Of Venice" in which Sothern assumes
a disguise SO complete that his own
personality Is entirely hidden beneath
the repulsive trappings of Shylock
upon him in the market place. What
makes Shylock Sothern's most i'm
pressive character, the actor or the
makeup?
The screen affords it's analogies.
Lon CLANCY is usually brought to
mind at the mention of character
part" A few years ago CLANCY was
playing straight" parts for Univer-
sal and no one ever heard of him.

Miracle Man." Clancy accepted the
part assumed a makeup that made
the cripple one of the most vivid fig
ures in the picture, and since then he
has added to the glory of that
achievement by bringing to the screen
a series Of character studies that have
followed progressive course of
makeup development which reached
its climax in the remarkable Fagin

tional group Of character portrayals'

in camera melodrama and at the same
time afforded another conspicuous in
stance of what bearing makeup has
upon the merit of an actors work.
Milton Sills has never posed as a
character actor. nor has he ever been
cast in eccentric parts. On the con-
trary, he has become one of silent
dramas most popular leading men by
virtue of 4 clean-cut wholesomeness
indigenous to typical American young
manhood. In Skin Deep" however,
Sills is called upon to portray the
character of Bud Doyle, hero Of the
world war, whose face is SO unmis-
takably that of a crook that no one

1t will be interesting to compare
the work of Sills in the makeup
which renders him unrecognizable as
the handsome actor with whom fans"
have long been familiar and in the
portions of the picture which he plays
straight" Study of this portrayal
Will not solve the problem of the
value of makeup in compiling a rep
utation as a great actor, but 1t may
suggest that many players who are
thought TO be vastly versatile are
merely clever molders of nose putty
and expert judges of wigs.

PALACE-Wallace Reid in ''Thir-
tv nayS."

4 comedy film of more than ordi-
nary interest is promised in the latest
starring production Of wallace Reid,
Thirty Days." which will be present
cd at Loew's Palace Theater this
week, beginning with today's matinee.
This fast-moving film tells the story
OF q young man who thinks that jail
is better than battle, murder and sud-
den death. The reason for his decision
is that as result of family quar-
rel, a jealous foreigner swears that
he will have the young mans life.
Since the hero of the story has use
for his own life for a number of years
he casts about for a safe place until
his enemy's anger cools, and nothing
seems much safer, off-hand, than Jail.
SO he gets himself sent up for thirty
days. However. his would-be slaugh-
terer is not so easily to be thrown off
the track, and Jail for a time looks as
though it might prove anything but
a refuge. Wanda Hawley plays op-
posite Mr.. Reid, and the enormous and
muscular Kalla Pasha Is the warden
of the Jail.
Thirty Days" is the work Of those
veteran writer's for the stage, A. e.
Thomas and Clayton Hamilton, and
il was fret produced as play in New
York in 1917.

THE tenement is the artistic hope
of America.
This statement emanates from no
less an authority on the theater than
Gus Edwards, famed for his vaude-
Vile "song revues."
Word has long since gone forth
among the residents of the lower
East Side in New York and in the
poorer districts of every big city in
which Edwards has ever appeared,
that IL you have talented little son
or an attractive and engaging little
daughter and no money with which
to launch the stage novice, Edwards
is the man to see. After that, by
some waving of magic wand, the
youngster will, in q flash, become
famous and the family may acquire a
country home and be attended by
maids and buffers
This legend has resulted from the
discoveries Edwards has made within
the past ten or fifteen years. Didn't
he perceive the latent talent in lii

YOUR ROUBLE

The wisest thing we have read in months appears on a
cigar company's calendar: "All sunshine makes a desert.
Socrates would have nodded his head and started taking
for a week.
Grass and trees need sunshine, plenty of it. But II they
get too much, they become parched and die. Where there
nothing but sunshine, you find a desert.
We grumble at the rain and its clouds, but without 1t we
would soon be living in a desert, without trees, grass, water
or crops. And then we, too, would die. {
Wise nature works by the Law of Contrasts-actlon ana
reaction. Sunshine and rain alternate. The change OF seasons
goes on forever. Otherwise, there'd be no growth, no life.
This applies to our personal lives, which are lnexoraoly
governed by natural laws.
We get an "of day. or a ''run of bad luck. That CORE

We crave continual happiness. But it's a good thing wen

The psychology of lovers bliss at making up" after a
quarrel is all a matter of this Law of Contrasts.
We cannot appreciate and enjoy prosperity unless we
have had hard times for comparison. That's why the man
who has to fight his way up from poverty gets a thrill and en-

Q. What is the difference in
weight of pure air and air that has
been breathed?-C. J. w.
A. Equal quantities of pure air
and foul air at the same tempera-
ture have nearly the same weight.
Foul air contains a greater percent
age of carbon dioxide-2 per cent
greater-and q greater percentage OF
moisture. It is also lighter than
pure air, due to its high temperature

A. If the rods are not properly

they may attract lightning. The in
