Actor and Elk -Organist

CARL ECKSTROM, also known as
Harry Blythe of "The Cat and the
Canary" narrowly escaped being a
church organist.
Carl was brought up in Omaha. He
was born in Sweden, but has no
memory of the event. He was brought
to this country when a small child
and then and there decided to become
a one hundred per cent American.
He stayed here and grew up in
Omaha. His early hobby was music.
His parents decided that Carl had a
taste for music, and when he was old
enough to torture the neighborhood
he was given music lessons.
He progressed so rapidly that by
the time he graduated from the Uni
versity of Nebraska he was able to
teach the second verse of THE Star
Spangled Banner"
He secured a position as organist

The Rhymine Director.

To direct a big motion picture is
a job in itself, but to direct one in
extemporaneous rhyme is an accom-
plishment. But that is just the way
in which f. Mason Hopper directs
many scenes. In handling the mega
phone in The Great White Way" he
had his company in such good hunor
that he had little trouble in getting
them to do as he wanted. Almost
through the making Of an entire
scene, Hopper would bawi out in
lions somewhat as follows:
Lights! Camera! Come on, let's 20,
Some action there, you're far too
slow.
That's the stuff, now hold that
kiss.
With this big scene wen never
miss.
According to Hopper, you're got to
kid" the players, especially the lex
tras," to get the most out of them.

might seem to be the case 1T a

that we are all Influenced to some
extent in our judgment of others
by their appearance.
For example, a young man who
is applying for position will be
at a great disadvantage II he is

the medium Of ones apparel.
One OF the outstanding charac.
teristics OF the miser is his sloven.
ly, ill-kempt appearance. One Of
the predominating characteristics
OF the spendthrift is his tendency
toward fashy clothes.
In this day and age Of the world,
no man. especially the young man
with his hopes and dreams OF
great success. can efford to neglect
his personal appearance. Clothes
