Screen s Greatest Actor.

WHO is the screens greatest actor?
The question has been revived
among critics and players with the
designation of Ramon Novarro as the
Booth of the screen by Eugene V.
Brewster.
Pola Negri some time ago pro-
claimed Novarro the greatest actor,
naming John Barrymore and Valen-.
tino as second and third.
Barrymore, who won the Valentino
medal for the best performance of
last year. is an enthusiastic sup
porter Of Adolphe Menjou, rating
him the finest actor, with Chaplin
second.
Novarro, who was heralded first as
a genius by Rex Ingram, is equally
enthusiastic in behalf of Emil jan
nings, pointing TO Passion" "Decep-
ton" and THE Last Laugh" as his
trionic genius.
Herbert Howe, the critic, who is
another stanch Novarro supporter,
points out that screen artists may be
divided into two groups-one, repre-
scented by Menjou and Chaplin. play
ing variations on the same character
with divine touch; the other repre-
sented by Novarro, Jannings and
Barrymore, who serve as receiving
sets for characters out of all time
and space.
Jannings came into fame in this
country as the King in Passion" fol-
lowing 1t with Henry VIII in "Decep-
ton" and winning critical acclaim
more recently as the Doorman in The
Last Laugh"
Barrymore never had any great film
distinction until he appeared as "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" Beau Brum-
mel" was his next role of consequence
Novarro flashed into prominence in
his first role. that of the Austrian
Rupert in The Prisoner of Zenda I"
Then followed the South Sea Island
youth in Where the Pavement Ends" :"
the dashing French hero Scara-
mouche. the willy and witty Arab
dragoman of The Arab" the Apache

acters are now being created by him,

Vanished Americans

THE bloody hatchet of the Indian
warrior of yesteryear lies buried
deep in the sands of the Western
plains. And the mutterings of the
tom-toms are stilled forever. Thus
has tinis been written to one of the
most, IL not the most, colorful chap
ters of early American history.
All this but a brief 40 or so years
ago. Now some. of those old warriors
remain, but you would not know them
The daughters and sons of others live
now too. But you wouldn't know
them either.
Only a short while ago an Indian
powwow was held in die town OF
from distant points to ATTEND. And
their wives and daughters came along.
1t was a great rally. The old men
gathered in groups and laughed and
joked about the bloody battles now
almost forgotten. Wealth and worldly
goods were theirs. Every thought was
for peace.
Two in particular had much in
common.
A grizzled warrior named Runs With
Another met Chief Mountain Horse.
Forty years before they had met,
each the member of a rival tribe.
Each had tried to kill the other. And
while they chatted and laughed and
wondered how they ever could have
been so foolish, their we'll educated
sons were in other groups organizing

1t was a shock to see the old and
the young together. Tribal feathers
and brilliant blankets contrasted
strangely with the neat blue serge
of the modern business man.
But nowhere, say those who were
in that little town of Macleod when
the $4,000 met could be gotten a more

Story Of a Great Director.

THE ability to vision an ideal and
pursue it to the goal of reality
lifted James Cruze from an obscure
actor to a director celebrated for his
genius. He has wrenched his laurels,
however, from a world that is selfish
in the bestowal of honors.
His parents were Danish. and his
father, giant of a man, feet tall
and weighing 325 pounds, was re-
nowned in the early days of Utah for
feats of physical power. 1t was said
he could lift ! 900 pounds on his back
The birthplace of Cruze was near
Ogden, Utah. The year was 1884.
The lure of the tent show called
him away from his home at the age
of 16. The particular show he was
with ended it's tour in San Francisco.
Cruces roommate then was a young
actor named Stevens.
At last the funds of both gave out
at once. Stevens pawned his watch
and sent telegram, asking work, to
Luke Cosgrave, manager of a small
stock company in Boise. He did not
get a reply. So he wired another
company, was hired and left town.
The day after he left came a mes
sage from Cosgrave to Stevens asking
him to come to Boise and furnishing
transportation. Posing as Stevens,
CruZe obtained the transportation and
went to Boise.
Cosgrave hired him, and he made
splendid leading man. That was in
1901.
After the Boise engagement Cruze
decided to branch out for himself. He
organized a small stock company and
toured Utah and Idaho. He then or
ganized a more pretentious company
to play in larger theaters and offered
Cosgrave, a veteran dramatic pro-
ducer, a half interest. Thus started
an association which has not ended.
1t was Cosgrave who played the de-
lightful character of Old Man Prouty
In Cruces comedy for Paramount,
Welcome Home"
In 1906 ambition again stirred
CruZe. He wanted TO go to the top
of his profession, and the only place
to start was New York City. He in
vited Cosgrave to go, but Luke, being

ory of wages for wives.
The love of money is the root of all
evil, sages and philosophers have been
telling us for years. Mr.. Bolton. on
the other hand, points out, rather friv-
olously, it is true, that poverty is oft.
times a thorny vine that begets pois-
onous branches.
The rich little poor wife, pampered,
petted and penniless. is not unknown
to history or cotemporary life. She
is legion, this wife whose assets are
mainly, q cook-stove, carpet-sweeper
and babies.
Why" asks Mr.. Bolton" shouldn't
she have her own bank account. Spend
her shekels In her own way, without
accountability? Why, in other words,
shouldn't she be financially indepen-
dent of the man whose children she
bears and whose welfare her life is
