Charming tM
 By Hcrs-To-C Command My dear, your eyes like diamonds
 are, They flash and glisten like star In summer sky; To me they're dearer far, own Than every wondrous, costly stone That gold can buy. Like fne-spun amber Is your hair; Your red lips are like rubles rare; And from your pink And shcll-like ears sometimes seem To catch an opalescent gleam-- Or so I think. Your teeth. like milk white pearls
 amaze, Attract and hold the vagrant gaze With their allure: No wonder, since you smiled on me, On treasures I have grown to be A connoisseur! Yes, dear you're like the precious
 things That have adorned, In crowns and
 rings,
 The human race: It Is no wonder that, to me, In very truth our home will be A jewel case!

My greatest professional fears
says Charles Emmett Mack, now
playing in 'sThe Light Eternal, !"
for Metros oIdwyn-Mayer. ''are
babies and dogs.
Whenever 7 am in a scene
wherein a baby or a dog is also
playing I know thai they will
steal all the interest Believe me,
an actor certainly has to work
to keep up the interest in him
self when such interesting actors
are playing with him.
And from this any actor can
learn a great lesson, The picture
goer is always interested in the
acting of children and animals.
They drew their attention away
from adult actors to watch the
babies and I believe that one Of
the reasons for this is that usu-
ally children and dogs are per
fectly natural in front OF the
camera. They have not yet
learned what acting is and hence
they give perfect performances
Any serious minded actor or
