The Art of Lon CLANCY.

, dental rubber over his own teeth. then
carving the new teeth in this compound
and enameling them to suit his require
ments
In The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
one OF the earliest successes, the
cinema star constructed high cheek
bones and practically remodeled his
face with plastic gum. molding this to
fit his own facial muscles. Over one
eve he applied a shell. which he covered
with flesh-colored material The "har-
ness" he donned here was a type Of
strait Jacket which was SO painful thac
1t could be worn only for a limited
time.
I should like to bring out the point
here that Clancy is by no means a con-
tortionst. but n well set-up. athletic
type. as his appearance in Tell II to
the Marines" where he carried himself
naturally. indicated His deformed or
crippled characters are produced by
clever acting, rather than. as has been
alleged, throwing his limbs out OF
Joint" CLANCY counterfeits deformities
by bodily postures and facial contrasts,
as in THE Miracle Man" In The
Blackbird" the stars effect was pro.
duced by curving his spine, drawing up
one leg and having the tailor accentu-
ate this apparent deformity by making
one side OF his suit OF clothes longer
than the other. In THE Unknown"
the apparatus previously referred TO
bound Chaney's arms tightly TO hts
sides, under his clothing, and made him
appear armless.
Many of Chaney's facial DISCUSSES are
both intricate and painful. AS the aged
mandarin In Mr.. W." he wore clamps
on his cheeks to pull them tightly back
and give to his face an aspect OF senil-
ity. In the vampire disguise OF Lon
don After Midnight" the actor used a
chemical to distend the eyes after a
formula prepared by his oculist. The
same oculist prepared a method for
making one eye seem white and blank
in The Road 10 Mandalay" Both ap-
plications we're distinctly painful, but
startlingly effective.
OF course, there are tricks in Cha
ney's makeup. materials used and spe-
cial lamentations that the actor keeps
secret, not so much because he fears
their use by others as TO prevent others
trying to do so and go astray. Each
face. he believes. requires different pig
mentS, and individual requirements can
be found only through experiment.
But 1t Is not makeup alone that Is
the secret OF CnhIley TeHlhI haUlE SUI
cess. His vivid character portrayais are
in good part the result of gesture and
pantomime. expressing subtle shades Of
thought. The personality OF the char
acter Invariably grips one; the external
details Of makeup complete the pic
ture
one of the best indications Of the
standing which CLANCY has as an au-
thority on character makeup. both out
side the film profession as well as
within its ranks. Is found in the honor
recently conferred upon him by the
publishers OF the Encyclopedia Britain
nica," who asked him TO contribute a
special article on makeup and diSguises
to the forthcoming edition OF this
standard work.
