"Mr. Fairbanks had serious time
with his makeup. Because OF the
texture of his skin, his face appeared
greenish in the proofs, but by apply
ing reddish powder the green was
counteracted, and his skin had the
brownish color desired for the role.
"Color affected most of all the
actual working out of the story. You
must be exceedingly careful all the
time that your story a nd your color
are in harmony, each bringing out
greater possibilities in the other. If

however, built the story with color
always in mind.
Every moment we had to watch
for the composition of each scene.
Fifty extras looked like two hundred,
because the eye had SO much to take
in. II we had too many in scene
the proportions were wrong, and the
whole scene had to be done again.
Again, color eliminates man "details
that would stick out in black and
white. There is nothing to tell how
this happens or what causes it. You
have to know by instinct really just
what will go over in color.
while we were making the pic
ture one of the professors at the
University of California made tests
to show the eye strain involved in
looking at films in color. These tests
revealed that colored films offer less
strain than black and white, and
that black and white films less strain
than ordinary reading.

Bates VS.. Cambridge
Debate in Portland

Lewiston, Oct. 20--Major General
Mark L. Hersey, head of the Maine
Associates and graduate of Bates
College in 1894, will preside at the
debate between Bates and Cambridge
University to be held in City Hall in
Portland, Thursday evening.
Twelve times before has a team
from Bates lined up in debate
against an old world team, beginning
with that historic June IS, 1921,
when this Maine college sent to Eng
land the first inter- collegiate debat-
ing team ever to cross the Atlantic.
Thursday evenings contest will be
the third between Bates and Cam
bridge. In the debate held in Lew
iston in 1924 there were mixed teams
and consequently no victory could be
declared for either institution. The
second which was held with Cam
bridge on her own ground was won
by Bates.
The question for debate will be:
Resolved that democracy is a mis-
taken ideal, Bates arguing for the
negative.

When the good citizens of Maine

trained nurses are required there
will be solace in their sickness, at
least this is the opinion of those
who looked in on a gathering in the
Senate Chamber, Wednesday.
1t was the semi annual meeting of
the State Board Of Registration and
examination of nurses. There We're
present a class of SO to take the
examination-5S young ladies and
one mere man. The latter looked
somewhat out of place but appeared
to be thoroughly enjoying the oc-
casion, and we'll he might. Aside

But, seriously 1t was an efficient
group gathered to get the o. K. of the
board and the personnel of the latter
was manifestly pleased over the
papers rendered. The board has been
functioning since 1916, and holds
meetings twice a year, in April and
October. The class this fall is the
smallest in recent years. A recipro-
cal agreement with boards of other
states permits out of state Nurses to
be registered in Maine if they hold
a certificate from the state board. A
total of 16 such candidates are in the
present group and while they do not
take the regular examination they
study certain phases applicable to
the state. The sessions will con-
clude today.

usual Opera House admission.

Ever since the advent of motion
pictures, there have been periodical
forecasts that the films were about
to be Immediately revolutionized by
talking movies and natural color
movies. Each year. however, black
and white as medium advanced
rapidly, while natural color remained
confined to the laboratory. There
were some expensive attempts to
make color on the screen CONNER
cially acceptable, but with no con-
spicious success.
This problem has at last been van
pushed in the new picture of Doug
lass Fairbanks, titled THE Black
Pirate" Albert Parker, the director.

wish to express in the film. For
Inc Black Pirate we favored sepias.
instead OF the raw primary hues of
the usual color films we have ma

no blues. We learned, incidentally.
that purple cannot be Reproduced
well, that blues become greenisb
and that yellows have q reddish
brown cast of unwelcome quality. To
avoid these tones we evolved settings
ana costumes that have the rich.
subdued tones of old oil paintings.

we discovered that colors CHANGED
most disastrously under sunlight and
artificial lights, and that our cos
tunes were sometimes perfectly all

Tourists Write
Letters in Praise
Of Maine Highways

Among other letters recently re-
ceived at the office of the State High
way Commission were two from New
York City from tourists who had
travelled quite extensively in Maine
during the past summer. One of the
writer's states that he travelled all
the way through to Calais. from
there to Quebec, through the pro-
vinHes, and from Quebec by way of
Jackman back into Maine. After
thanking the Commission for fur
nishing information relative to the
condition of the highways, the
writer states that the roads were in
good shape on the entire trip, with
the exception of one construction job
which was passed over.
The other writer states that he
made the trip from Quebec into
Maine by way of Jackman and
thence to Millinocket and returned to
Kittery. The letter closes as fol-
lows: 1--WE had most delightful trip
and 1 want to compliment you upon
the condition of the roads and the
route markings. We had no trouble
at all in finding our way and I think
it was about the easiest trip l have
ever made. l wish that some of the
other states would follow the ex-
ample you have set in Maine"
