DICHARD BARTHELMESS,

RICHARD BARTHELMESS' VINO
makes his talking cinema debut"
in the new First NATURALIZATION
picture, Weary River" has compiled a
list of "don'ts" for film actors who are
called upon to face the microphone in
the soundproof studio for the first time
Here are the "don'ts":
Don't worry about being nervous
when you first enter the soundproof
studio. You're going to be that way,
anyway. Hire a double to be nervous
for you.
Don't forget yourself while talking
and clink any coins or keys you might
happen to have in your pocket Such
nonsense is apt to sound like regi-
ment of King Arthur's knights in full
armor crossing a draWbridge.
Don't wear shoes that squeak when
you walk. Leave that to the comedy
relief In the picture.
Don't slap a fellow actors back too
enthusiastically If called upon to do so.
1t is apt to sound like a one-gun salute
from the u S. S. Pennsylvania.
Don't ever affect a nervous swapping
of the fingers. Leave it to the trap
drummer In the sound-effect booth.
Don't dunk your doughnut in your
coffee carelessly. It will give the effect
of Annette Kellermann performing a
high dive.
Don't rustic your silk 1ounging robe
If you happen to be wearing one, be-
cause it win sound like hailstorm.
Don't cough and don't sneeze. The
directors will tell you why in no uncer-
tain terms, as it may cost the produce
ton up to a thousand dollars.
Don't enter a soundproof studio with

Women's independence

istic of womankind that the female OF
the species absolutely refuses to stay
put. for womanS ancient and in
alienable privilege has been the right
to change her mind when she chose,
regardless of reasons. Some Of her,
after a season or so of bobbed hair,
conceived the idea of letting 1t grow
again." and some of her did let 1t
grow. But did that mean the passing
of the bob? Not by 30 rows of green
apple trees. The girls who knew they
looked prettier with their bob posi-
lively declined to let it grow. And
those who knew that longer hair made
an older looking girl would not hear
of letting it grow.
Burlesque, which has done much
comedians and brilliant stars for the
big revueS, has been taking census
of its own. OF course, burlesque has
no interest In frightening woman's
skirts, but it was interested in her
hair, especially as the audacious movie
seemed to be meddling with the matter,
by giving preference in certain in
stances to the girls with "the crown
ing glory" Certain directors would
have none other, and as the movie
is said to have a strong influence
which is exerted ruthlessly upon the
rising generation, some of the girls
began to; "let it grow" Burlesque
wanted to know, then, just how much
influence the movie really haid, and
here is what it ascertained:
THE Mutual Burlesquer." official
organ OF the Mutual Circuit, has this

fidential QUESTIONABLE on the subject,

cult:
Five hundred and forty wouldn't

hair grow, IS are returning to the old
style, go started, but changed their
minds in favor of the bob, and 90

this is the way the matter stands

Mystery Anthology.

Tor the first time in screen history
there has recently been produced
a film that boasts not only of one plot,
but several of them. The film Is For
hidden Tales" a compilation of four OF
the greatest mystery stories Of such au-
trors as Edgar Allen Poe. Robert Louis
Stevenson, etc, all bound together by a
central theme.
This device, says the Motion Picture
Guild. is comparable to the anthologies
Of the literary world, but it is the first
time it has been used in the movies.
The guild has imported the production
from Germany, where it was made by
Richard Oswald, and Is being given its
American premiere here.
The main theme of Forbidden Tales"
is a story about a haunted bookshop in
Berlin, where three paintings, repre-
senting the devil, death and tempta-
ton, come to life and proceed to read
several of the books The volumes that
they select are then played on the
screen. The tales include Stevenson's
Suicide Club" and Poe's THE Black
Cat"

Movie Popularity.

ONE hundred million people attend
American movie theaters every week
and authorities estimate that the at
tendance is growing Is per cent yearly.
The daily intake at these theaters is
$4,000 approximately $500, 000,0 900 a
year.
The industry in the United States
employs 235,o0O people. Hollywood's
annual pay roll is $50,000,000.
OF 57,341 theaters in the world, 20,500
are in the United States. All OF Europe
has 1888. The remaining approximate
10000 are scattered about the world in
every conceivable quarter from NADIA
gascar to French Indo- China. The sum
of $161, $50 900 was spent on new thea
tiers in the United States in 1928 alone.
Thirteen hundred theaters were
equipped, as of January /. to show
sound pictures, and 200 sound features
are estimated as a minimum on the
1928-1929 production schedule.
The world output of features for 1928
1929 is 1850. OF these the United
States supplied $50. Germany 200, Great
Britain 140, Russia 1870, France 60, all
other countries 10.
The above facts were culled from sta
tistics just issued by the Film Daily OF
New York. They are said to illustrate
clearly the factors of movie production
and consumption in this, country which
make us the predominant universal
figure in the field, as well as making
the industry itself one of the foremost
domestic activities.

Something New.

A N innovation in library circulation
for motion picture fans has been
supplied by the Fox Film Corporation.
There was dispatched westward from
the headquarters in New York neatly
bound volume of mimeographed biogra-
phies relating to all the principal players
of this company, with photographs of
each. It was sent to the st. Paul Public
Library in Minnesota at the request of
Webster Wheelock, librarian there. and
will be loaned out to patrons of the IL
brary like other regular volumes.
This unusual donation to the library
was brought about through readers who
constantly asked the librarians for
articles dealing with their favorite stars.
It is the first time that such official BIZ
ographies have been furnished by film
company in this manner.

Such was the task of Alfred L. Worker,

The youngsters, all clad in their
homely nighties, are used in several
dormitory scenes in an orphanage.
Little Freddie Frederick and Carmen

creep from their cots to plot with each

to spend their time in bed. 1t required

CINCE the nineteenth amendment to
~ the Constitution-and that is not
the one pertaining to prohibition--was
sdopted. woman-and that means the
big and the little, the young and the
old-have registered one very important
verdict
Woman declines. positively, persistent-
N and emphatically, to be standard
lied. And how has she done so? II
makes neat little story.
From the time that memory runnetn
not to the contrary, woman mas
accented as her standard of styles the
pronunciamento of the man milliners
and man commanders of Paris. indeed
there are some who still do so. not
only in the matter of hats and gowns,
but in almost everything that pertains
to adornment and the art of beautify-
ing. But the overwhelming majority
of the women and girls who have never
seen Paris, and also many OF those
who have. in this day and generation,
have completely thrown on the Partisan
yoke and are making their own
standards. In nothing Is this more
apparent than in the length of their
skirts and of woman's browning glory"
her hair.
Edicts have gone forth that fashion
demands the frightening Of the skirt,
and all sorts of tempting and alluring
STYLES of gowns have issued forth from
the hands of the most distinguished
coutouriers of La Belle France, Gre
lions designed utterly to overwhelm the
feminine of any and Of all countries.
But the girls of America, while con-
ceding perhaps an inch or two, now
and then. still wear the short skirt,
now. indeed, shorter than ever before.
The French ipSet dixit has lost It's
power: the French creation its charm,
If it be shaped counter to this general
proposition.
Mere man has sneered, satirized,
scorned and emitted his most terrible
insinuations against the girl that dares
to wear her frock at length suited
to her taste. Ladies Of the Victorian
era have acclaimed against the shock
ing fashion. But the girls still go on
wearing short skirts, and from present
appearances they are likely to con-
tinue doing so for how long no one
dare say but certainly as long as they
make the young girl attractive and
help to destroy the ravageS OF the
years in the elder.
Bobbed hair appeared upon the
feminine head and no longer was "the
GROWING glory of woman" the glory
she sought for AS If to set her seal
of decision more deeply into the male
mind, she actually reached out and
appropriated the male barber as her
minion to an end. It was not alone
that she might have bobbed hair. Any
woman might cut a girls hair. But
the cutting of the hair was not all
she sought. She proposed to have that
cutting done in such manner as would
best bef1t her own features. The result
has been so fruitful in hobs that only
a woman thoroughly up to date might
give to each its proper name. The man
barber doesn't know them.
But it has always been character

WHAT and why is mule skinner?

iariZe himself with the handling Of the

pear as an expert when the cameras
began to grind. Pennick informs the
world that he has at last discovered
what the words mule skinner" mean.
According to him, in the old days mule
drivers were so named because they
helped the mules to overcome their nat
ural lethargy by using a long whip that
lifted the skin off the mule when it
was welded by the hands of an expert.
