Studies People.

MARY ALDEN. having reached the
ArA decision early in life that she
wanted to be an actress, studied at
the American Academy of Dramatic
Arts in New York and completed her
education in Paris.
Returning to New York, she OBJ
tanned a fairly good part in a stock
production. and later entered motion
pictures with Biograph.
One of the recognized definitions
of genius is 1.-The infinite capacity for
taking pains" and it is this that is
said to be responsible for Miss Alden's
success in delineating characters.
She studies people constantly. Ac-
cording to Miss Alden, she fell into
the habit as a girl and has found II
not only fascinating but a negotiable
asset.
Motion picture cameras register
thoughts we'll as gestures and fa-
cial expressions" she said. For
that matter, thoughts control a per-
sons every movement. AS a man
thinks, so is he If you don't play
a role from within as we'll as from
without, you're just a manikin in
grease paint and costume. If you
don't know how all manner of people
think and act under all manner of
conditions in real life you can't por-
tray those people on the screen.
That's all there is to it,

Advocates Beauty Contests

THE national convention of wom-
L ems clubs now in conference in
Los Angeles has condemned beauty
contests.
Director John Francis Dillon, how
ever, declares that there is g. great
measure of value in these contests,
for without them, he states, the
screen and stage would never have
discovered some Of their most bril-
liant stars.
MANY of fiImdom's beautiful and
talented women have arrived by way
of beauty contests" he says. lit
would take volumes to name them,
and the very women who now con-
denim the contests would find among
them their favorite screen star.
''Corinne Grifhth. Mary Philbin and
Lois Wilson are but q few of the
popular and talented actresses who
came to the screens notice via this
route.
Il am of the opinion that the.
screen would suffer by the elimina

Busters Custard Pie.

"THE custard pie is the backbone
of the comedy motion picture in
dustry," declares Buster Keaton.
TT was built UP on custard pie, and
now. in it's old age. 1t has been de-
serted by the comedians who rose to
fame merely by being either on the
sending or the receiving end of it
TT has been reported several times
that 1 will have no more pies in my
comedies. That is ridiculous. / can't
believe that the AmericaD public
wants pieless pictures. Why" con-
tinues the comedian earnestly: there
is no noblsr spectacle in the film
field than a corpulent custard pie
sailing with stately dignity toward
the receptive open face that is its
natural destination.
Some one in Hollywood has writ
ten a book entitled whats the Mat
ter with the Films?' Ask the Holly
wood bakers whose custard pie busi-
ness has been ruined by the reform
ers They know. It's a lack of
custard."
