Art and a Broken Nose.

When Louis Wolheim broke his nose
In foot ball scrimmage at college, he
suffered severely in body and mind. For
a young man thus TO be defaced Is q
misfortune He is handicapped. VOL
helm, thinking that he might as well
"die for an old sheep as lamb" kept
on playing and broke his nose again,
and for a third time he went into a
melee on the gridiron and emerged with
his nose iattened. BY that time he
was hardened 10 his lot He found that
he possessed a talent for instruction,
and on graduation went back TO his
alma mater and taught for number of
years with high success. Then one day
an actor friend advised him TO go on
the stage and capitalize his disfigured
countenance. The drama, he urged
offered a field for such mug" which
required no makeup for the imper-
sonation of realistic villainy. So VOL
helm yielded to the temptation and
changed his profession, taking step
of some peril to his fortunes. 1t proved
70 be q winning step, for that triply
broken nose won for him international
fame and rich financial rewards. He
possessed q certain amount Of thespian
ability, trained himself quickly for his
ns~ part in life and made good, anc
role after role in the spoken drams
vas assigned TO him because he looked
the part"
Whsn u ~ considered that with putty

and grease paint competent actor can
transform q normal countenance into a
caricature not at all resembling the
original 1t Is somewhat strange that
Wolheim'S nose commanded such high
price in the spoken drama and later in
the movies and their immediate sue
ceSsor the "talkies." There must have
been something else than a broken nasal
organ. Wolheim must have had that
cit" that makes the actor, that indefin-
able something that marks the differ
ence between just another member of
the cast and an outstanding feature of
the show. He certainly, in all the work
he did in the heavier line, was quite
distinctly the type of the brute, the
ruthless man, coarse and regardless of
others. Yet in his own character he
was not at all of that type.
Lon CLANCY had the art of self-trans-
formation to an extraordinary degree,
and some of his representations were
even more grotesque than Louis VOL
helms own face. CLANCY, however,
possessed an uncanny power of bodily
contortion that took him into class
alone in the presentation Of the grue-
some, the revolving and the mysterious.
Wolheim had no such versatility. He
was just a man with a broken nose,
LONELINESS personified. Now both
CLANCY and Wolheim are dead, and the
field is open for the newcomers who
may aspire to win fame and reward
through their physical peculiarities or
deformities. The public is not especially
discriminating and will welcome shock.

I wish that we were back
In dear old days of sweet simplicity;
When no one tried to stack
The cards, with motives of duplicity;
When we would work six days
And then on picnics view the scenery;
When no one thought OF ways
OF making music by machinery.
I'm longing to return
Unto the plain old-fashioned jolly days
When we would toll and learn
And only seldom think of holidays.
Shun rough prose and rhymes
And also theories didactical.

When human thought was far more
practical.
No Vacancies for a Life Of Ease.

against the bonus bill Will be applauded
by lot of the veterans themselves.
\ y
The World War veterans, it has been
charged again and again, were the VIC
tins of heartlesS citiZenry who put
national prohibition across in this
country while the soldiers were away at
war. If the World War veterans are
united in their opposition to national
prohibition, how does it happen that
the members of Congress have not
fastened in recent years to undo this
prohibition tangle and return the con-
troll of liquor traffic to the States? The
truth of the matter appears to be that
the veterans are divided in their views
on prohibition, or If not, that they are
not so potential politically as they are
supposed to be.
