Thoughts on Height.

ARE girls growing tallerP Is the
petite girl going to go out Of exist
ence in another generation or two? Are
athletics and modern child training
raising our girls to be bigger-if not
better?
Whatever the answer, it certainly
would seem to be true that the tall girl
has more chance on the screen than
she did in the days when Lillian and
Dorothy Gish, Mary Pickford, Mar
guerite Clark, Gloria Swanson, Bessie
Love and Viola Dana had but little
competition. These stars are no taller
than five feet, Viola Dana and Mar
guerite Clark being even under this
mark.
Today among the popular woman
stars of this height we find Janet Gay
nor outstanding. Norma Shearer runs
one inch over five feet and there is a
small group running to five feet two
inches. Clara Bow, surprisingly, claims
three inches over five feet, and with her
are Bebe Daniels, Colleen Moore,
Dorothy Sebastian, Sue Carol, Nancy
Carroll and Lily Damita. But when It
goes to four inches we find Dolores
Costello, Joan Crawford, Corinne Grit
nth, Mae Murray, BaclaflOva, Dorothy
Mackalll, Estelle Taylor, Ruth Roland,
Marie Provost and others.

Music in the Movies.

"CINCE their inception" says e. B.
Derr, Pathe executive in charge
of production, pictures have found mu-
sic an effective aid In the conveyance of
impressions and the expression of emo
tons" He adds: "An alliance born in
the nickelodeon days Of player pianos
and Pickering Indian fighting thrillers
Is not endangered through the motion
picture public's present attitude toward
the so-called musical films"
And Mr.. Derr concludes a statement
from the Pathe Offices which bears quo
tation marks throughout to indicate
that Mr.. Derr was speaking, with the
peroration: 1T is a known fact that
music was responsible for bringing many
people into the theaters, and there is
no reason why this attraction should be
eliminated simply because audiences re-
ceive an additional portion of entertain
ment through dialogue. Dialogue and
music need not clash"

was touched In his soul by the concord
of sweet sounds; the other felt them
only in his calculations.

Trite Thoughts, Maybe
By w. H. Landvoigt

and maybe a little more, such a
feature seemed silly, and that,
perhaps, is why the custom faded
out. But many of the gray
boards of today will recall delight
full memories of the times when
the world was just simple and did
such things to add to it's hap
pineSS.
THE spirit of dramatic express
sion, however, is still strong
in the land, and if those who have
devoted their lives to the art re-
lax at Christmas and Easter time,
the less professional seem to take
on a special urge. The dramatic
clubs of Washington, both in and
out of the schools, are up and
doing; and only recently two or
CARNATIONS of the advanced stage
have given substantial evidence
of their proficiency and of their
willingness to let the world know
of it. The modern social club
which enliStS the enthusiasm of
golden youth in our day seems. to
the oldtimer, to drift away from
music and the drama toward the
rhythmic beat of the tom-tom
and the dance of action without
grace; away from literary and
dramatic ambition and toward
the Soulless sands of the desert,
or to the South Sea Islands. But
happily there are many who do
not, and it is a real Joy to lend
all possible aid and comfort to
those from whom the theater of
the future may spring to new
life and prouder effort. Hope
shines effulgent in the human
breast"
And if those who affect to cod
die admiration for the ideal
theater in their bosomS are really
in earnest about it and not merely
pretending, is it not the duty of
all such to lend what aid they
may to aspiring genius that may
help to make real the ideal? Is
it not the duty, in words more
bluntly expressed, Of the public
at large to lend encouragement
to amateur effort-aS oft we are
said to do to vice-and learn to
embrace it to the extent of gen.
erous patronage, always with the
purpose of Fastening the coming
of the day when the theater Is
what it might be. Such course,
it would seem, might be the means
of inspiring the professional pro-
Queer to higher and nobler aims.

Animal Temperament.

RILL BOYD learned something about
- temperament in animal actors when
he recently got Ghost, the ST., 900 horse,
together with a 81 burro called Hello
trope, in a scene for Pathe's THE Paint
ed Desert" down on the Indian reserva-
ton in Arizona.
What happens when 81 jackess
and a $4,000 horse get temperamental
in motion picture scene would give
an excellent lesson In the rudimentS Of
snobbery to the most ultra-ultra Of hui
man snobS," says Boyd.
The scene required Boyd to call
Ghost to him so that he might mount
and ride away Heliotrope was merely
TO stand in camera range. The best
thing Heliotrope did was to stand still
He performed his part Of the scene to
perfection, but
Boyd whistled. Ghost pricked up his
ears, looked from Bill to Heliotrope and
then cautiously found his way around
in back of the camera to reach Boyd, so
he would not have to come too close
to the unkempt donkey. The scene was
taken three times. however, before

Might Have Been DR.. Cote.

EW CODY, who makes his first ap-
pearance on the talking screen in
Divorce Among Friends" now at the
Earle, is said to be particularly well
equipped for audible picture work as a
result of long training on the stage
prior to his experience in silent pic
lures
Lew was born on Washingtons birth
day in Berlin-not Germany, but New
Hampshire-and his family name is
Cote.
He deserted medical practice for the
theater and became well known in
stock, later touring in vaudeville. His
first appearance in pictures was as lead
ing man with Bessie Bariscale in Mat
ing" in 1915. under the direction of
Thomas Ince. He played many stellar
roles in silent films and seems to have
shown preference for whimsical COM
edy. He says, however, he has secret
ambition to do sophisticated roles.
The theater affords his principal d.
version. He Is regarded as being ex-
ceptionally well read and is an accom-
plished pianist.

Vivisection.

" 4 SLIGHT drawl is the reason for
\ the charm OF Ruth Chatterton's
voice." so says M. M. Paggi, studio
sound technician.
Paggi names Ruth Chatterton as the
answer to the mixers" prayer and
considers it stroke of good fortune
that he was assigned to the sound engi-
neering Of her current Paramount pic
ture, THE Right to Love-"
Miss Chatterton's articulation is
thoroughly trained" asserts Paggi.
She possesses a wide range which is an
excellent quality for the microphone,
but she also knows how to control that
range.
Breathing, another essential factor
in the study Of vocalization. is a mas
tered art with her. Because of fault
less breathing, her enunciation is
cryStal-clear even under the stress OF
rapid and emotionally fraught CONVEX
Sation.
THE drawl that marks the last word
of almost every sentence Is an entirely
individual thing, something that was
inherited or acquired in childhood. II
might be considered defect in an
otherwise perfect voice. But, strange to
say, it adds twofold to the distinction
of Miss Chattertons vocality instead OF
detracting from It,"

the same air are Marian Davies, Esther
