MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May 6.-If our
readers start in on the What's become

Swering to do.
Players in popular demand a year
back have Joined the ranks of the
Whats become offs" so imperceptibly
that they had slipped completely out of
the picture before we are fully aware
of their going.
Where is Mary Philbin. asks one
reader?' And another, What has be-
come of Antonio Moreno?
Mary Philbin, l might explain, has
not made a picture since last October.
She has until next october to go, on
her contract, so she is collecting salary
while doing that most embarrassing
thing which can befall player-wait
ing for something to eventuate.
If you wait long enough in Hollywood
nothing eventuateS for you but COM
plete extinction.
Those who guide her destinies say
Mary Philbin will make three more pic
lures before the expiration of her con-
tract. But they do not go into detail.
The Mary Philbin type somehow is
not associated with the idea of talk
The fair. fragile, exquisitely beautiful
girls with cameo faces and ethereal
charm seem too far away and lovely for
mundane speech.
They may say yep" or Sure thing"
or "Gwan" in real life-but you can't
associate speech with these silent
beauties of pantomine If Mary Phil

its option when her time is up, 1t may
quite easily not exercise it's imagina-
ton in hunting stories for her mean
while. No Hollywood director will en-
terrain the idea of an oldtime photo
play Yet the day may come when it
will be a novelty.
Antonio Moreno, the handsome Span
ish gallant whose teeth and eyes make
interesting white splotcheS against the
Latin dusk of his fine features, Is no
more, so far as cinema is concerned.
He may crop up any day. Even as
this goes to press he may be impressed
into leading role-but thus far all Is
still along the border.
Antonio Moreno married Miss Daisy
Garfield. She is one of the blue bloods
of the locality and tremendously
wealthy. Tony Moreno made a bit OF
money himself in his day. They live in

Home Sewing.

AOAnC OCWlu6'
So much of woman's good looks
depends on the way she's dressed these
days that it is a great pity the art of
home sewing is dying out. Readymade
clothes are so cheap and so we'll made
that 1t is no wonder most people pre-
fer to buy dress already completed
and good looking. rather than go
through the somewhat painful process
Of creation.
But there are some parts of a dress
so important to the general good look
ing erect and so easy to make that it
seems pity not to do a little home
sewing. For instance, those new scarfs
MADE OF large patches of crepe de chine,
three or four colors to a scarf. each
patch a different color-one of these
can be made in an hour on a machine.
out OF odds and ends of silk left over
from old sewing. For the regulation blue
serge, for instance, what about a scarf
made OF three triangles, scarlet, white
and jade green, fitted together so the
three triangleS form a long strip? 1t
taxes six triangles really, three to each
side, and the scarf is made by lavinQ
the two sides together and sewing round
as you would make a pillow slip, leay-
ing little bit open to turn the whole
ming inside out and finish off, The
double silk makes this sort of scarf
practical and warm too. and as there
Is no f1ne sewing required, any one can
make one. This can be worn with a
green, blue or scarlet hat or handbag.

have just been reading about a
screen star whose broken romance
threatened broken heart. One would
think that after playing love parts and
having broken hearts filmed in the
studio, the headliner lady would get
used to it. But no; she's human be-
ing, after all.
The screen has its lure for us, and I
suppose that many Of us have all but
packed up our buds for a trip to Holly
wood. For the film makes appeal to a
woman's mind, since the shadowy
movements and flying changes OF
countenance suggest to her the light
and Spirit-real character of her life.
But it must be that these movie
people get all mixed up on the affairs
Of their lives, because they have to play
various parts and lend their precious
souls to various roles. That tends to
blur the distinction between real life
and the shadowy eXistenceS on the
screen. To have an honest-to- goodness
broken heart may be bad for the pa
tient. but it thrills us to feel that these
shadows are real people.
Film love must be a nuisance to a
Hollywood girl who has any sense of
romance. since she has to take the
celluloid kiss and film hug just because
that's part of the movie drama. II
she could play opposite her boy friend,
it might be all right. but even then
her necking would be done in the glare
of the studio instead Of in the cleaning.
But these Hollywooders can take care
OF themselves, seeing that they have a
lot of cash to work on, so that we would
better worry about ourselves who are
not in the studio or on the stage.
1t seems to me that since screen
folk appear to be real people We who
are so very real should try to get more
of studio point of view. The stage
people put life into art We should put
art into life. We can accomplish a lot
by imagination.
I don't mean that you ought to call
yourself Grated Gumbo," but still you
needn't think that you are only so
much wheat cereal. No, you can live
your life as a kind of a drama and
enjoy your love as a sort of romance.
This doesn't mean pose. No, it is
rather an attitude It makes you care
full to assume graceful position and
express yourself with a modulated
voice.
Every time you come out from a show
you find yourself in an artistic attitude
and STACEY frame of mind Keep that
up. which you can do without being
hoity-toity, and you'll see what I mean
and will prove that Shakespeare was
right when he said "All the worlds a
stage" or screen.

one is the embroidered front" of the
purse when done. If preferred, the
center section may be an inch or so

fold OF the flap. and the flap does not
quite cover the entire side of the purse.
A crocheted covered button of rafia

of the same material will serve to
secure the flap in place.
Half-inch seams should be allowed
for both bag and lining, which latter
is essential. uterine with cotton or

given by employing bright reds. orange,
green, yellow, for the motifs, with a

Such bags, paralleling those of Paris

manner to be described and in a style
which has been especially designed for
readers of this department. Full direc-

be mailed to Lydia LIE Baron Walker,

preferred, the background may remain
plain and the pattern only be done in
colored rafia, selected to harmonic

these methods of embroidering is EFF
