MAKING OUR
MOVIES


THE movie-going public, unfa-
l. miliar with the making of a
moving picture, has no idea of
the time and labor required to
produce a film that runs an hour
or two in theater, according to
Lillian Gish, famous American
screen star, who says, in an
article in this weeks Liberty,
You buy a ticket at the box
office. find a seat. and watch a
picture for while. Then you
get your hat and walk out. In
two hours You have witnessed
something which may have
taken us eight months and a mil
lion dollars to make.
You have seen a woman
walk across the SCREEN contin-
ues the actress, pause at
window. and turn to stare at a
man coming through a door. II
takes 40 seconds to show YOU
that scene--and it may have

WHEN Mary's mother died,
w she and her little brother went
to live with their fathers sister,
Miss Lewis. Now. one would
suppose that the children's father
would at least supply the means
of support for his own offspring,
but he just isn't that sort of man.
He sent small sums to his sister
for while, and then he took
unto himself young wife and
apparently forgot all about his
son and daughter. So that's that.
Miss Lewis is a professional wo-
man and her income is limited.
So when the necessity of main
tanning household faced her she
talked the matter over with her
young niece and this is what they
decided:
Mary would keep house for her
aunt. her little brother and her.

QUESTIONS OF

MRS. Cornelius Beeckman-
The GrOom's Choice

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ / am to be maid of honor
at my sisters wedding. The man
chosen as best man is practically
engaged and expects to announces
the engagement soon. Is it proper
for him to be my best man?
2. Is the best man supposed to
call for the maid of honor at the
brides house. or should they meet
in the hall? A READER.
The best man is not your best
man. dear friend. he is the best.
man to the groom, the chief atten-
dant OF the groom, and neither the
bride nor the maid OF honor is
given the privilege of choosing
who he shall be. The maid of honor
is the chief attendant OF the bride,
and the best man is the chief
attendant of the groom, and
TO each it should make no
difference who the other is.
You see, it is unreasonable
that the groom should consult with
te maid of honor as to whom she
wishes for the groom's best man.
The fact that the best man is
engaged makes no difference to
you. The only thing that makes
a difference is the fact that the
groom chose this gentleman for
his best man. And the bride and
her attendants bow to the wishes
of the groom in this most-impor-
tant-to-hiln matter. Naturally all
his life the groom has thought OF
whom he would like for his aften-
dant at his wedding. and it is
his prerogative to choose whom
he wishes.
Also. in the best planned wedding,
the best man and the maid or
honor do not walk together either
In the professional or in the recess

weddings the best man does not
take part in either the process
