SMART TOGGERY
HELPS ACTOR
GET ACROSS

1T never knew how valuable the
study of clothes could be until /
got this role in Butterfly" said
Kenneth Harlan, leading man in
the Kathleen Norris photoplay at
the Rialto tomorrow.
Harlan is playing the part of u
prosperous and well bred business
man who is at all times unas-
Stunning. His manners are so in
nately impressed upon him that
his breeding is the kind that isn't
conspicuous but has that perfec-
ton of nconspicuousness that all
men strive for. In playing this
type of man 1t is necessary to
give the question of clothes great
thought and care. II It was a
costume piece the research man
would have the job of selecting
his clothes, but in the modem
pictures the actor and director
must do that and even though
one may think the proper dress
for the average business man Is
simple to pick the fastidious and
artistic actor feels otherwise.
A man with certain character
isticg would not wear the clothes
Of the man who was the opposite
Of that man in personality. There
Is personality in clothes, of course.
Butterfly" was written by
Kathleen Norris and is one of her
best sellers. Mrs. Norris has the
happy faculty Of being able to
write vividly Of all the American
family questions and in Butter
fly" she creates new angle on
the sister complex.

Miss Wayne began as 50 many

edyI Her striking beauty and
visual appeal won her so much
attention right away that the
acting ability was hardly consid-
cred or taken seriously, but the
other talent she manifested, that
of designing costumes, was so
marked that Mack Sennett, in
whose comedies she was then
playing, made her head designer
OF his costumlng department. She
supervised the costuming OF his

more than twelve years through

the production is designed, written

as James Montgomery Flagg, or
again, Dean Cornwell, whose illus

greatest joys of the American

illustrators and artists have Sc

This dramatic season marks
the one hundred and fiftieth an
niversary of the first produc-
tion of "The Rivals" and the
event will be celebrated appro-
priately by a distinguished pre-
sentation Of Sheridan's immortal
comedy in an extended tour Of
the United States and Canada.
The cast will be made notable
by the appearance of Mrs.
Fiske as Mrs. Malaprop, a role
she has long desired to play;
Thomas Wise as Sir Anthony
Absolute; Chauncey Olcott as
the fire-eating Irish gentle
man, Sir Lucius 0'Trigger;
James T. Powers, already noted
as David, in the part of the
pusillanimous Bob Acres, and
Lola Fisher as Lydia Languish,
the role played in former years
by Viola Allen and Julia Mar
lowe. The rest of the company
is being selected in keeping with
this brilliant coterie Of players.
A literary man of national
reputation will precede the or
ganization on tour and will give
addresses on Sheridan, his COM
edies and his times, to colleges,
schools, clubs, the little theater
groups and others interested
In the classics of the English
stage. A new prompt book Of
"The Rivals" has been prepared,
in which Sheridan win not be

THE BRIDGER SUIT

Virginia Bridger Hahn of Kansas
City, daughter of the famous plains
man and guide, Jim" Bridger, has
brought a suit for S1,000,000 against
the motion picture company which
produced The Covered Wogan,
claiming damages because the old
man is pictured as drinking whiskey
and flirting with a couple Of squaws.
She wants a million dollars
because the producers did not pin
white ribbon in the button-hole Of
Jim Bridger's buckskin jacket and
put Gideon's Bible in his hip pocket
instead of flask Of jamaica rum.
"The Independent has no desire
to prejudice the case and keep the
woman and her attorney from di-
viding the million dollars, but if any
one is guilty of libel against the
memory of Old Jim Bridger, it is
Mrs. Virginia Bridgcr Hahn and her
Kansas City lawyer. 1t is a libel
on the memory of any plainsman to
allege, even in court complaint,
that he did not have CUTS enough
to drink red raw liquor and pinch
the voluptuous squaws until bushes
showed through their we'll smoked
skins and their breath came hot and
fast."-Helena Mont, Independent.

NEWSPAPERS AS EDUCATORS

Because Of the expense OF OBJ
tanning books and building schools
and the scarcity CT competent
teachers, soviet Russia has recog-
nized the value of the newspaper as
a means of practical ! education.
Through this mean; the govern
ment is intoxicating on young
students information concerning
the acute questions CT the day.
The idea was borrowed from the
Australian province Of Queens
land. where it was put into practice
in 1905 for reasons similar to those
in Russia The soviet policy, how
ever, will show an improvement
because it will be a daily feature.
whereas the Australian venture
was monthly. .......
The soviet decision, though
made in land where Communism
is the objective, is recognition CT a
fact which has been apparent to
Americans ever since the origin OF
