DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Please let me know If q
knife should be crossed on the
plate when having dinner, or
half on the plate and the other
half on the table?
NAPOLEON
Neither is correct. When you
are not using your knife, you
should place 1t across the rim,
as far as possible from the
center with still no possibility
OF its falling from the plate.
That is, so that the center Of
the handle should touch the
lower rim. and about the
center Of the blade touching
the upper rim.
There are five or six details
Of table manners that stamp
us at once as not knowing the
rudiments OF good manners at
table. Resting" the handle Of
the knife on the table cloth is
Il one of these. After we have
begun b course the handle OF
the knife should not again
during that course be allowed
to touch the cloth.

TalkiedOm Too Touchv.

THINGS that are really good are in
! herently so. If they are not, pinch
hitting publicity cannot make them
good. And this simple fact makes
criticism Of talking pictures danger
Gus for the critic. 1t is largely the
reason why they who dislike to have
their judgment questioned call him
names.
In imparting sound to the silent pic
ture, the movie makers accomplished
wonderful, sometimes the most I'M
portion that true realism has been
achieved is the wonder to be credited.
One great mistake of the talkie
booster however, is his claim that talk
ng-picture drama equals, and because
of its scenic accomplishments, sur
passes the drama of the stage. 1t is
q very bold claim, but one that has
been advanced with intense vehemence.
Indeed the voluble shouting of the
claimant has been so intense and 50
persistent that the shouter has actually
come to believe that what he ever
lastingly shouts is true.
The fact that 1t is not true Is amply
proved by the experience Of any think
ing. patron of both the stage drama
and the talking picture. You never
get the "kick" out of the substitute
that the real thing invariably gives you.
This is simply the assertion Of self
evident fact, that God creates better
than man. The drama OF the stage is
the reflection of life that God created,
by men and women who, likewise, owe
their existence to the Divine workshop.
The talking picture may approximate;
1t can never equal 1t.
It is quite possible that the artificially
emotionalized heart may respond to
the human emotions counterfeited in a
picture, even In a picture that APP
parently talks. The weaker the nature
Of the subject the greater will be the
response. But when all Is said and done
the process by which this response is
secured is purely mechanical 1t isn't
the real thing. It is clever counter
felt, nothing more.

attained degree near to perfection, in
mechanical endeavor. thFt Is quite mar

Yes, "Pavlowa, Jr."

ONCE upon time there was dancer
and her name was Pavlowa. She
made the swan what it is today. Ano
walking one day through the academic
streets of London, she happened upon
little Vera Boot, who was dancing with
abandon in the middle Of Trafalgar
Square:
spied the child. There is my sue
cessor-a real. honest to goodness sue
ceSsor." And she ran up to Vera and
embraced her.
What Is your name, my good little
girl?" she asked, as the young lady
paused in the middle of leg exercise
MY name is Vera Boot"
"Vera Boot? What an ugly name
little girl! What terribly ugly name
What a really h." and Pavlowa
would have continued, if discretion
hadn't smitten her on the back. Then.

and added: "No longer shall you be
Vera Boot. Henceforth you shall come
with me and be my successor when
the swan that is in me dies. And you
shall have a new and beautiful name
Hilda-that is what it shall be-Hilda
Butsova!" ..t.
And so away went the two, Pavlowa
with her protegee, and the protegee
with her new name. And they danced
all over the globe, and made many,
many friends, until with Pavlowa's re-
tirelnent. the little girl was left to dance
by herself.
And thus, and so she did, until the
fateS, with a good laugh, dropped her
happily one day at Loew's Palace, where
she may be seen today-dancing just
as she did when first discovered amid
the lions of Trafalgar Square.

dozen other sex ballyhoos came forth
under the protection Of the Belasco ira
dition and paraded their deviation from
what has been referred to as the moral
code. They amplifled with loud shout
ing what Mr.. Belasco said In tasteful
whispers, and they dared the authori-
ties to interrupt them. Nothing, there
fore, was done by the police force to
interfere with them and they proceeded
as long as it was profitable to make
merry with sex at the expense Of its
traditional decorum.
My desk is full Of complaints about
Earl CAROLS new "Vanities." Sub
scribers tell me that it is an evil show,
festooning the direct vulgarities with
specious garlands Of beauty, motion and
music. The "Vanities," they write, is
menace to the purity of Times Square
under the disguise of entertainment.
The 'Vanities," while complimented for
its splendor, is reproached for its guilt,
and the press is requested, in the in
difference of other authorities, to penal
ize it,
Well, so far as I am concerned, Mr..
Carroll and the ladies and gentlemen of
MS troupe may go as lar as they like.
They play before audiences that enjoy
that sort of thing and who, knowing
what they are about to see, are eager
to pay for and revel in 1t. On the first
night at the New Amsterdam there was
no one, from the freshest of the debu-
tantes present to the most faded of the
men about town, who did not enjoy its
Slime as we'll as its splendor The dir
test jokes were applauded, as were the
sentimental tableaux and marches.
As one who is apter at eulogy than
at expostulation, still desire to rebuke
Mr.. Carroll for an incident or two in
the "Vanities." A spectacle so volup-
tuouS as that at the New Amsterdam is
handicapped, I think, by ugly interpo-
| lationS, humorous perhaps, but revolt
ing to a finicky esthete. The ladies in
the bottle dance are, in their way, an
inspiration. One does not object sin
cerely to them and their exposures. for
they have beauty, If not grace. But he
does walk out on such things as Miss
Mani Rays illustration of cartoon by
the mischievous Peter Arno, entitled
In All Ears" That picture, they tell
me, was rejected by editors as being
too sophisticated for even a sophisti-
Gated magazine. Since the first per-
Torrance, Mr.. Carroll has been per-
suaded to exterminate from the "Vani-
ties" couple of exhibitions represent

Vicious at times. A great deal Of its
success, however, is due to its scenic
environment, more beautiful more i'm
posing, more startling, perhaps, than
is possible for a drama presented on
The stage. But as beautiful, as imposing,
as startling as 1t may be, 1t loses in
the absence of the human element, even
though its counterfeiting may have
been accomplished with that element.
After all, its men and women are not
real men and women, they are simply
shadows, photographs of men and
women, and who that has ever looked
on the photographed face of a lost
loved one has ever felt the thrill that
came in looking upon the living face?
If you cannot have the real, the
counterfeit is invaluable, especially
when, with the counterfeit, you can
have the added eye appeal of beautiful
scenic background and environment.
1t should not be considered a crime
10 long for the real, nor, indeed, is 1t
fair to consider as a reflection upon
the merits of the counterfeit the
thought that 1t is not the same as the
real thing.
That even the makers of the talk
ing picture recognize this Is evidenced
by the fact that their favorite product
for screen consumption is drawn from
w w PaayS atiu e.ie musical productions
that have already won fame upon the
stage OF living men and women. The
vast majority Of their productions, how
ever, do not have this virtue. And yet
they do have very decided advantage
over the printed page, when 1t comes to
story presentation. Also there are times
when a favorite story loses its original
charm upon the screen, and this is be-
cause 1t fights the humanity impaired
to 1t by the imagination of those who
first encountered it upon the printed
page.
Since it first felt that its wings could
be trusted to high flights, the movie,
less, perhaps, than its champions, has
been prone to extravaganza in its claims
of what 1t Is and what 1t can do. It
ought not, however, seek to surpass
the Deity In creating the life of
humanity.

Ham Actor Defined.

TT seems that the definition of ham
actor" is not what you or I or any
body else thinks. This vital piece of
news comes from the press agent, who
had 1t via the press book, who had 1t
via supposed interview, but who had it
actually via his own head.
John MILAN, who will kill anybody
for nickel (on the screen), says that
he is not ham actor" and that the
term is not applicable to certain whiting
ladies and gentlemen of the screen who
belong mostly in the waste basket.
He says further: "Show me a ham
actor and I'll show you season trouper
who knows his stuff. The term ham,
as applied to actors, originated long
ago in the one-night stand troupes.
The actors were paid so little and so
seldom that they couldn't afford to
Duy cold cream with which to remove
the grease paint makeup Instead
they filched the bacon or ham rinds
from the hotel and lunch wagon
Kitchens, and used the fat for paint
remover. AS they prospered they
switched to lard"
So, ladies and gentlemen, after view
Ing a scene in which an actor brings
to mind that old term of unapprobrium,
ham," take a notch in the belt and
think Of something else-something
worse than ham," something more
vegetable, animal or mineral, or what
will you!

Has Missing Link V

FROM a redoubtable source comes
= word that the missing link" has
been found. This, says the source, is
what enabled 1.-The producers to bring
the plot of Road Of Paradise to the
screen" Furthermore, this plot, 1t Is
said, "has been impossible In the past
because of q missing link in the mag
ical chain CT camera tricks
Just what this link is, the source
has been unwilling to divulge. That, in
other words, is the great big secret,
which will only come to light after the
portals of the Earle Theater have been
passed. Certainly, neither Jack Null
hall nor Loretta Young may be de-
scriloed as links-being among the more
personable of the younger cinema
actors.
The camera, in this day and age,
having found such phenomenon,
should be congratulated and presented
with large emblem Of real metal
and it is hoped also that the link will
be on view when the curtain parts be-
