tionnaire submitted to her:

drawing room or one taxicab.

Not infrequently I have seen
girls entering the studio who
were so plain and ineffective

ing, Poor child, another disap-
pointed candidatep But later
found to my amazement, when
a screen test had been taken of
the plain girl had been plying,
that she proved to have Il good
camera face.
According to Din1ftri Buchos
wetski. who directed 'Graustark,'
the best way aside from the actual
taking Of screen test. to obtain
the most truthful impression of
how a person will appear on the
screen, is to look at the face
through a piece Of dark blue
glass.
This is what the blue glass
should reveal If you have a cam

prominent cheek bones. Hair with

comes "The Buccaneer," by the
same authors who have been
busy all week rewriting their
second act in a locked and
sealed suite in a Boston hotel.
Alterations costing around
$4,000 are under way at the
President Theater. A new en-
trance and foyer are being in
stalled in addition to a ladies'
rest room and the interior is
being thoroughly gone over.
Sam A. Scribner, president of
the Columbia circuit, which owns
this house, was in town this
week and said there were sew
eral tenants in prospect but
no offer had been accepted yet.
Two of the prospective tenants
have a season of winter stock
in mind.

THEY'RE SISTERS
UNDER THE
SKIN

Many sister acts, so-called. are
not composed of sisters, but ara
formed by two girls, who, for pro-
fessional reasons, assume one
name Sometimes this is done for
euphony, harmony or some other
good cause. But one OF the real
sister acts in Columbia burlesque
is made up of two blood related,
honest-to-g goodness sisters in the
smiling persons of the Carmen
Sisters, valued specialists and
role players with Harry Steppe
and his Big Show, at the Gayety
Theater next week.
These two were born almost in
the theater. Their parents were
professionals and when the girls
were tots and touring with their
parents, they were sometimes
brought on for a bow at the
climax of the act. Naturally with
such an upbringing, the girls at
their high school graduation in
Fort Worth, Texas, their native
heath, turned to the stage.
AS youngsters they had danced
and sang with years training
under Dan Dody's supervision in
New York They were more
professional" than many per-
formers who had been on the
stage for years.

Puppy Love-" a comedy by
Martha Stanley and Adelaide Mat

author and producer of .Abie's
Irish Rose" is well known to
Washington theatergoers through
his association last summer here
with the National Players.
Much Of the charm of Puppy
Love- which comes to the Belasco
Sunday night, is due to the trained
and skilled touch Of Mr.. Brooke,
for he is an artist when it comes
to handling every little detail OF
a theatrical production, Especial
ly gifted in the difficult ana tech
nical art of the stage lighting
he achieves effects that are really
marvellous He has true sense
of co1oring, and his ability to
assemble colors properly has won
acclaim for him from critics and
managers alike.
Among the many unusual facts
in his career is the distinction OF
having successful plays which he
directed running on Broadway at
the time. This honor came to him
back in 1915, the plays being
Peter Ibbetson," NDaybreak."
lover the Phone, !" "Fiddlers
Three and "Glofiana.
He has staged plays for Sir
James Barrie and Dion Bouciault,
Arthur Pinero, and other stage
celebrities. His delicate touch in

The most interesting news that
has trickled down from New York
Just at present is that concerning
the showing here tomorrow at the
Palace and Rialto of "Life's

taking happenings "shot' by
the intrepid cameramen of the
International Newsreel.
The New York critics have
spoken more than kindly of the
startling novelty and Chicago
has gone quite bunny over it.
Bunny" means both crazy and
excited-we just coined the word
this minute.
Included in the film are pic
lures of a disastrous automobile
accident on the Hawthorne racing
track. in which the car is seen
hurting high in the air. and the
driver tumbling to earth. Then
we have again the notable picture
of the recent dead drop" and
parachute jump from an airp1ane:
the only pictures ever taken Of
the Pope in the Vatican; Vesu-
vius in ,eruption-righs in the
mouth of the crater for this one
and more.
In "Sun-Up," recently viewed
at the Palace, Washington saw a
striking example of how impor-
tant part the adapter plays in
transferring a dramatic piece from
the locale of the stage 10 that
or the screen.
There was a good cast in
'Sun-Up." hucille La Verne
stepped out way ahead as the
mountain mother. The direction
was almost always good. But
the scenario writer had fallen
down on the job. Instead of
telling the job in straight-for-
ward way, he or she beat around
this bush and that one, making
Miss La Verne, Pauline Starke
and Conrad Nagel look absolutely
ridiculous, 1t was realism going
wrong-too much stuffing In it,
Too bad!

RESTRICTING LOANS ON

an injury to encourage him In an mn.
