BY GEORGE H. BEALE


HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 15.-William
j. Locke, the celebrated English
author, has come all the way from
Europe to reform motion picture
star. That is, of course, to reform
her on the screen.
The novelist believes something
should be done about Normal Tai
madge's character on the silver
sheet. He has accepted the COM
mission to write an original story
for her. He proposes to take her
off the streets and out of the dance
fundamentally speaking.
After a week of investigating at
United Artists studio, studying the
mechanics of picture-making and
viewing pictures in which Miss
Talmadge played, Locke extended
his observations.
Really, the condition is worse
than I thought" he said. Miss Tai
madge is charming and her pic
lures have been good but character
in many of her roles has been no
better than was necessary.
''Take her four most recent pic
lures. In 'Kiki' she was a girl OF
the streets, in Camille a courte-
san, in THE Dove dance hall
girl and in The Woman Disputed
a lady of easy virtue.
Really, do believe it's time we
reform her screen character"
Locke thinks that novels of the
screen colony have given the out
side world a faulty impression. He
finds the motion picture center faS-
cinating and not at all "orgy like. "
Really, after reading some Of the
fiction which centered about Holly
wood I expected to find it quite diff
ferent. I haven't seen any extra
ladies fighting temptation, nor any
rude people.
"I haven't seen any celebrities
dashing about the streets in gold
trimmed automobiles and my visits
to all studios have been pleasant.

Sam Goldwyn claims it cost him
$4,000 for twenty feet of film in
Ronald Colman's new picture, 1.-THE
Rescue"
A 250-foot schooner, which for
purposes of realism was blown to
pieces, was the major cost.
Three hundred cases of dynamite
were used in the explosion and
twelve sheltered cameras recorded
the blast from a distance of LOO
feet.
The explosion will claim on
twenty feet of the finished film.

1t has been a common saying among
white southerners that whenever
norrherners attempt to deal with
the Negro question in the Southland,
they almost invariably make mess
of it. This seems to have been veri-
fed in the case of Hon. George L.
Sheldon, former Governor Of Ne
braska, who seems to have tired Of
residing within the State, which had
rewarded him with high office, He
preferred to occupy the southern
designation of "carpet-bagger" and
he moved into Perry w. Towards
stsre of Mississippi to make trouble
for him and the rest Of tho able col
ored men of that far Southern State.
AS a rule, with the exception OF
the poor whites, thousands Of
southerners, who are against tho
Negroes are against the other fell
lows Negroes and he Is 'gloriously"
in favor of his own Negroes, those,
who possess family ties coming down
tho line from slavery. many of whom
row trace their lineage to the black
nammies Of other days and to the
"big house" Negroes, who wero
buffers, hostlers Wallets and the like.
This class of southerners have q
bitter antipathy to Negroes from the
North. i
They dislike that nasal twang and
they despise everything pertaining
to this class of the brothers in

social privileges. The Hon. George
