Making Movie Actors.

Mr.. Lasky points out, in addition:
"All these matters will be learn ed
systematically by daily class work on
the stage and outdoors After>the ele-
ments of acting have been taught, the
students will be given parts to play
in simple, easy scenes improvised to
suit various standing sets about the
studio or nearby exterior locations.
Later, short sequences from Para
mount productions of the past will be
reproduced to enable the class o-com-
pare it's own filmed, efforts with those
of noted professional players.
THE routine work of the class will
be varied and supplemented by allow
ing students who show marked pro-
ficiency to act as extras in current
Famous Players-Lasky productions
from time to time. AS the term draws
to an end the talent and attainments
of each student respectively will be
we'll understood by the school au-
thories and all will be graded ac-
cordingly.
To conclude the course of instruc-
tion a motion picture production will
be made by the class in whole. LII

Napoleonic Relics.

DROBABLY. no picture within the
last decade has brought to the
screen such rare historical relics as
the Paramount production of Vic
torien Sardou's famous play, Mad
anne Sans Gene" starring Gloria
Swanson. This is because of the
assistance rendered by the Ministry
claimed permitted authentic Napo
leonic relics to be worn or used in
the making of the screen drama.
1t is interesting to note that the
French Fine Arts Ministry, with
characteristic French patriotism,
stipulated that q. French director
must be placed in charge of the pro-
duction as one of the conditions of
its cooperation. And so Leonce Per
ret, one of the best known directors
in France, was engaged. The French
Ministry then placed at Perrets dis
posal dresses, jewels and costumes
of the Napoleonic era, some of which,
it is claimed were actually worn
by Bonaparte and the Empress Jo-
sephine.
Among these historic relics, it is
declared, is the famous costume, ''Du
Sacre," the uniform worn by Napo-
leon when he and Josephine were
crowned at Notpe Dame Cathedral
and which has been kept in a re-
markable state of preservation by
the French government. Snuff boxes
marked with the imperial IN"
which were the vogue during the
height of Napoleon's power, were
brought forth from the archives, to-
getfrer with a watchfob set with an
emerald which is recognizable in
many portraits of Napoleon and is
supposed to have been the gift of a
vanquished Egyptian Khedive, and a
plumed fan used by Marie Louise of
Austria at the emperor's first court
reception following their marriage.
M. Rene Hubert, an authority on
French period costumes, who pre-
pared the principal costumes worn
in Paramount's production of Mon
sieur Beaucaire," had charge of that
end of the production of Madame
Sans Gene" The costumes them
selves We're executed by Lucille, the
famous Partisan couturier.

Chronicles of America.

The next of the Tuesday afternoon
showings of the Chronicles of America
photoplays at the Ambassador Theater
will have Daniel Boone" and York
town" for their themes.
The life of Daniel Boone is full of
fascinating human interest stories of
Boone's experiences with the Indians.
In Midwinter of 1777-S, while on trip
to get salt to preserve what little food
remained at Boonesboro, Daniel Boone
was captured by Indians and adopted
by them as brother. An interesting
sidelight on Boone's character is
shown by the historical fact that he
is the only white man ever adopted by
the Indians who did not have to sub
init to an ordeal of torture to prove
his worthiness.
Boone was so trusted by his captors
that he was allowed to sit in ron con-
ferences, and in that manner he
learned of a Shawnee offensive against
Boonesboro, organized by De Quindre,
a French officer in the service OF the
British. With this danger menaclng
his people Boone made supreme
effort to outwit his guards, and sue

Thinks Hays JOB" Difficult

Cecil B. De Mile, who has recently
formed the Cecil b. De Mile Pictures
Corporation. which has Joined the Mo
ton Picture Producers and D1str1bu-
tors of America, commonly known as
1.-The Hays organization, has this TO
say:
II shall be most happy TO support
Mr.. Hays until such time as 1t be-
comes evident that he and his organi-
zation are not fulfilling the part l feel
they can play in the advancement of
the photoplay. Certainly he has done
splendidly in the direction of creating
added public confidence in our great
industry.
"Mr. Hays has a very difficult job.
He will always be subject to criticism,
lust as is the case with the President
of the United States or any other man
who makes definite contact with
strong national forces.

The Lady. '

Norma Talmadge will be pictured
at Crandalls Metropolitan Theater
this week, beginning this afternoon,
in her latest First National produc-
ton, 1.-THE Lady" adapted from the
play by Martin Brown. Christie's
two-real comedy, why Hesitate" !"
featuring Neal Burns; the Metropoli-
tan World Survey, a scenic and an
orchestral program conducted by
Daniel Breeskin will be added at
fractions.
THE Lady" is woman whose life
seems to have been wasted because
she has never found the opportunity
to cultivate those educational and
social niceties that are supposed to
mark 'the lady," Beginning as a
concert hall singer and dancer in
London, Polly Pearl spent her de-
clining years as owner of a public
drinking place in Marseille. France.
1t is there that we meet her first on
the screen. Her life seems drab and
colorless as she begins the recital of
her disappointments to friend. As
the years roll back her heart breaking
experiences are depicted on the screen.
This method permits the introduction
of a wide variety of scenes and affords
Norma Talmadge an opportunity to
reveal the full scope of her interpre-
Native power.

Shifts Her Method.

NORMA. TALMADGE during the last
four or five years has appeared in
an important impersonation of almost
every nationality known to the globe.
She now has come to the point where
she is making her delineations span
whole lifetimes, or at least broad
sweep of years.
In Secrets" it will be recalled. she
unfolded the full span of woman's
life from early girlhood to old age by
the deft method of visualiZing the
recorded episodes in an old diary. In
her latest production, THE Lady,
Miss Talmadge achieves much the
same effect by telling the story of her
experiences covering 25 years of her
character life, which the camera un-
folds in pictures of the episodes.
