 Use Legitimate Stage Fayorite
 Actors and actresses Of the legiti- mate stage are used in the German movies far more than they are in America. There is not the same de- mand here for extremely youthful heroincs that exists in the United States, and the Germans like to sec their favorite legitimate actors in films, even if they are not as beanti- ful as the juveniles who have claimed tho spotlight in the American movie world.
 But there are indications that the taste in Germany Is changing with the importation of more recent Ameri- can reels which feature actresses In their teens. Historic and character films, which afforded excellent oppor- unity for actors without either youth or beauty. have been somewhat ever done, and the German movie fans arc turning toward lighter pictures.
