FALLS BELOW
EXPECTATION
Incomplete Figures Show
Smaller Number of Pu-
pills Than Predicted.
SOME HOLDING BACK
Refusal of Parents to Send
Children to New Schools
May Be Reason.

Enrolment in San Antonio public
schools has fallen far short of expec-
tations according L incomplete data
gathered by the school board office.
by the end of the week. however. it
is expected that subsequent enroll
ments will bring the total figures up
to point that might be expected from
the scholastic population of this city.
This condition is attributed by DR..
Jeremiah Rhodes. superintendent of
city schools. to several causes. chief
of which is the confusion resulting
from the radical reorganization OF the
schools, the refusal of many patrons
to send their children to schools other
than those Of their own choice. and to
the large number of Mexican and negro
children in the cotton fields.
a condition experienced at the open
ing Of every school year. namely, the
dissatisfaction Of many patrons with
the transfer of their child 1 from one
school to another not Of their choice.
has been aggravated tbs year by the
fact that larger number of transfers
were necessary in working out the new
scheme of organization. At least a
score of patrons have informed the
superintendent that If their children
were sent TO the schools selected for
them by the school administration.
that they would keep tEeir children
out of the schools. Administrative Of
ficers are standing nat" as well as
the patrons, each waiting for the other
to give in. This condition. it is be-
lieved, has been factor in holding
down enrolment during the first two
days of the school year.

What Is Love-?
Does Maurice Tourneur Know?

MOTION picture patrons of the
United States may never expect
to see, genuine love depicted on it's
screens, according to Maurice Tour
neur, producer of 1.-THE Isle of Lost
Ships" The Brass Bottle" and other
well known photoplays.
The First National director con-
tends that puppy love is as far as
the screens of America may go in
depicting the grand passion.
1.-THE full, beautiful, terrible splen-
dor of love Is not ignoble. but we are
afraid of 1t as of something shame
ful!' he declared with feeling.
There is much love making among
boys and girls. We hide and forbid
these impulses, so that they become
twisted and unhealthy, much as our
films are forced to repress realities
with glamorous fair tales. Repressed
things always come TO the surface
distorted.
Love isn't the green sentimentality
of boy and girl walking through
an apple orchard. It's more apt to be
an agony, as most elemental things
are.
"The mating love has been given
a shameful Significance because it
seeks seclusion. Also, when we are
up against our hardest problems
and love is an ordeal-we try to hide
from ourselves, behind social conven-
tione or ieafy shelters, In opiates or
illusions.

UAN n actor is not an actor in the
real sense of the word until he
can characterize" declares Lionel At
will the David Belasco star, land he
cannot do this until he has expert
mented in the art of impersonating
various parts.
ITO be an actor one should play a
variety of roles. The opportunities to-
day for the young player to get this
necessary experience are rare. But
it is an essential part of an actors
training and If He is sufficiently lucky
to attain any position of prominence,
there is bound to be a tremendous
handicap if he wishes to do more
complex and finer work without this
wide experience.
"I firmly believe also that a range
of Characterization should be the aim
and goal of every actor, If only for
the reason that a greater interest is
thereby stimulated on the part of the
public In this way an actor becomes
better known and added interest is

Little Old DeLnoniico' $ 5

THE Delmonico's that has just been

for 20 cents that would shock present

was. a modest little city Of only 5000

What Makes an Actor?

given to his performance by the fact
that the public may expect not only
a good technical piece of work. but
also a new and distinct characterize
tion each time he appears.
'The public Is better able to appre-
ciate the art of the theater by seeing
an actor whose personality it knows
depicting different characterizations
than just witnessing a play. with the
various characters cast with actors
who naturally are temperamentally
and physically the parts they are
chosen to play. This unfortunately is
the method depicted by most pro-
ducers. although, TO be fair. 1t must be
said that this method is largely un-
avoidable in the main.
''The responsibilities and require
ments of star should be greater and
more complex than in the days when
one was only the member of cast.
1t is not so difficult to attain a posi-
tion as 1t is to maintain 1t. 1t is my
firm belief that the popularity of a
star will soon wane IL he or she is
not primarily good character
