in Vanity Fair of $780," has earned no
inconsiderable reputation as designer
of costumes, gowns, wraps, sports
clothes and jewelry, much OF which he
wears in the current production.
Miss Mayf1eid does not like fads. AS
soon as a thing becomes oVer-popular
she is done with it, and seeks something
else
She it was who wore the first Rus
sian boots in America, and 1t was she
who introduced the ankle bracelet in
this country. She saw a smart woman
in Monte Carlo wearing one, and
straightaway designed a curious one
for herself, which was executed in Paris.
The boots she soon discarded, but the
anklet she retains and wears on every
occasion.
Miss Mayfield dislikes mannish clothes
for woman, and hates black under
wear, as well as severe pajamas for
women. She thinks the American
woman is the best dressed in the world,
and in Spain, Austria and Germany
she found that many fashionable wom-
en- subscribed to American fashion mag
azines and were always anxious to
know what American women were
wearing.
Miss Mayfield thinks that women
should ever appear feminine, even while
INDUCING in sports. She cites Helen

& TURN Of fortunes wheel has shaped
many a motion picture career.
There are successful film players in
Hollywood who have worked from child
hood up toward the goal of screen
fame, but probably the majority of Aim
favorites today are what they are be-
cause of events which seemed insignifl-
cant at the time they occurred.
Here are few of the more notable
ones that have bridged the celluloid gap
and with considerable skill: Clara Bow,
for instance, is q star because she hap
pened to read the notice of a beauty
contest In magazine. A vacation trip
and an accidental meeting launched
George Bancroft In pictures. Taking a
dare when she was still a student at a

has no fear but he is the one who has
conquered It.
The title Journeys End" suggests
the lines from Shakespeare, Journeys
End and Lovers Meeting" but that is
not the connotation intended. 1t is not
play of sweethearts, for there is not a
woman in the cast. It is altogether a
play of manhood in the profoundest
meaning of the term.
The hero, Capt. Stanhope, is one Of
those innumerable officers who grows
more terrified by the war the longer
he remains in it. AS his terror in
creaseS, so does his terror of himself
He cannot face reality all the time; he
can only master himself when the need
arises. So he takes to drink and drinks
so hard that he undermines his health
and is being drawn inevitably to his
ruin either by collapse for physical rea-
son or collapse for the dismal moral
one. This is the fundamental idea OF
the play.
It's dramatic content is heightened by
the introduction into Stanhope's COM
pany of a young officer, Lieut. Raleigh,
who has hero-worshiped Stanhope for
years and to whose sister Stanhope was
engaged. Stanhope had been foot
ball champion and the leader of the
school which Raleigh attended. He is
afraid Raleigh will find him out-will
see his terror and the real reason for his
drinking; in other words, will bring the
inner conflict of fear to It's ignominious
finish. He Is wrong. Raleigh instead
sees an officer who is devoted to his
men. who guides, inspires and cares for
them, and is himself inspired to play
the hero he would like to be. There IL

Loew $ Spring Carnival.

PREPARATIONS are being rushed by
Loew's Theaters for a national
Spring carnival, commencing March ~
This will be participated in by every
one of the entertainment houses oper-
ated by the organization throughout the
country.
The Loew Spring carnival is the out
growth Of the January festival, which
the executives report gave the circuit
the greatest impetus in attendance and
entertainment value In its history
Special booking of pictures and the
signing of stage favorites enabled the
circuit to draw an attendance of more
than 25,000.000 during the month OF
January, it is claimed.
Plans for the Spring carnival include
the acquisition of such well known en-
tertainers as Van and Schenk, Sophie

Engineers Help Film Action.
THE original handicaps Of talking

THE original handicaps of talking
pictures, which limited movement
to some extent and made location trips
to outdoor scenes inadvisable, are said
to have been overcome entirely in
Song of the West" the natural color,
Vitaphone epic of covered wagon days
now on at Warmers Metropolitan.
In Song Of the West" the eve of the
natural color camera is said to follow
the rapid movements of horsemen, the
march OF the pioneers, and the other
magnificent outdoor scenes with COM
plete ease, thus speeding I'D the action
of the story greatly. This was made
possible by improvements Warner Bros.
engineers made in the Vitaphone equip
ment.
For the first time in talking picture
history. 1t Is said, a complete recording
plant was taken out into the wilds, 200
miles from Los Angeles. for outdoor
scenes, covering q sweep Of several
miles, and they were recorded in long
shots and close-upS with complete ease
and perfect effects.
Song Of the West" is an adaptation
OF Rainbow" the operetta of Laurence
Stallings and Oscar Hammerstein II.
