Diana, the French ehanteu: Keith's, where there seems never to'baa dearth of variety in dress as well a3 healthful entertainment of every sort. These sandals are not the regula- tion bare foot, but real bare foot sandals, as they expose all the toes and tender part of the foot, and are very sensible, having straps only where necessary to give -uppor!t. 5 Mile. Diana performs a stunt o shaking the toes of her foot at the dience mucl ::a'l.hlnd over the footlights. In the Lou Tellegen sketch the rting Jady, Isabel Alden, wore ln‘ull&ed dinner.gown, made in by H. Chernit, of black velvet lver cloth, the former material having a semi-triangular effect, be- ginning with a point at the left shoulder and draped gracefully about the waist and skirt, ending with a panel through which one foot ex- tends. The silver cloth panels on each side are the length of the skirt from the bodice, which is studded with brilliant stones and jewels, and adorned at the waist with a large deep red rose. )8!! Alden’s hair was dressed with a twisted rope of pearls and black bird of paradise feathers. Silver shoes and stockings of silver cloth finished her elaborate and fashion- able costume. ith the complete play from which this sketch is taken (it being the first scene) for several months, and is a talented young Quaker.city girl, but received her dramatic education in & New York school of art. .The wrap which she wears upon entering_the studio is a gorgeous creation by Ben- del of New York, and is of rose and silver brocade, with a, deep flounce of Kolinsky on the back panel, and rounded collar of the same fur. Sadie Burt wore her usual long- waisted fancy costume effects with little full skirts, but is most charm- ing in the Chinese creation. Viola Victoria, Sometimes called little dancing doll from old Madrid, wore the quaint peasant style costumes in her Spanish dances. Her gowns were elaborately trimmed. had full flowing skirts and tight bodices, laced up the front, scalloped around the bottom of the basque styled waist, with very low cut at shoulders and meeting narrow shoul- der straps with points both. front and back. Long earrings and a huge back comb completed this costume. ‘This youthful dancer won the hearts of her audience by her charm in face 2nd manner. Prize Beauties Make Good. \WHAT bécomes of the winners of the beauty centests which numerous film magazines conduct year after year? - Do they -ever at- tain lasting success . in; screen work, or does their flare of notoriety die out when the papers cease printing their photographs? Ask these ques- ticns of Virginla_ Brown Faire, whom Richard Walton Tully has engaged as leading woman opposite Guy Bates in the film version of “Omar. the Tent- maker,” and she will assure you that the beauty contest winner does make ®ood, for she herself won the first Fame and Fortune contest conduct- ed by a groun of promient picture magasines. As a result, several pic- ture contracts were immediately of- fered “her, and she elected to work for Umiversal, for whom she appear- ed in nine 'pictures in as many months.

How They Register Emotion. JT 8 an accepted fact that theLatin peoples depend much upon thelr eyes and hands to express emotion. In like manner actors and actresses of the stage and screen rely upon certain features and expressions for the por- trayal of many of their emotions and bits of professional “busines: Priscilla Dean uses her eyes for every bit of action she is called upon for. “My eyes have always been my most expressive feature,” said Miss _Dean. “When I was ing on the legitimate £tage as 3 kiddis, and was told to look argry, glad, surprised or whatever ac- tian “the stage manager asked for, 1 immediately sensed his request with my eyes. It was the same way when [ entered pictures. I think I would be helpless as an actress if I had to depend upon any other feature,” sald the star. Gladys Walton of flapper fame agreed that her mouth gets over.the needed action for her. “It's just natural some way,” Miss Walton. “My mouth looks glad, sad or bad quicker than any other fea- ture,” said Mixs Walton.

It will not, however, solicit original material from the public in general, but will devote its energies to judging the merits of published books, magaszines, stories and successiul ge plays, with the objective of determining their cine- matic possibilTties. Whenever a tale with screen pos- sibilities is discovered it will be con- sidered in comimittee session, where every element of the story will be discussed at length.

They have provided countless hours otherwise unable to afford the luxury of- frequent entertainment. They have given surcease from toil, forgetfulness to the troubled heart, courage to the despairing. The motior picture has given op- portunity to millions to see the work of great artists, to know many of the best actors and actresses of the gen- eration, and it will preserve to pos- terity the histrionic art of this period.

And very likely the Greatest of All Healers lets the definition stand. . One time a visitor breezed in with a ‘régular Bants pack that held a plaything for every child in _the ward—not cheap that break if you look at them, but real toys that cost money of the size known out of arithmetic 2s “big.” Just why @ man should buy happi- ness for suffering youngsters instead of spending his money on that popu- lar sport, “seeing a good time,” was, of course, his own affair; but— It shows that angels of mercy are not necessarily cut by the same pat- tern. styles are what the re- nowned Mr. Venus would call “wa- rlou A ter that ever irt-sleeved man in black-rimmed specks who does things to copy may have his demon times. like the rest of us, but this is just one of the good things he did.

And then the two got back to their reading. Which was all there was to the thing, except that the woman who was square enough to honor another for a quality she lacked herself would have been right smart aston- fshed had she known that a woman on the grass back of her bench was jotting her tribute on a pad—not all of it, but just what she managed to hear, and that she weant to send it to old Walt by the speed route known to_wild west literature as “pronto.” Poet Mason is due for tons of flow- ers and reams of editorial praise on some future day, but he would doubt- less rather have what's coming to him now.

AS “Ming Toy" Constance Talmadge will be surrounded by a cast in “East is West,”” which reads like a motion picture blue book. Edward Burns is chief in her support as Billy Benson. Fred Warren has unusual op- portunities in his role of Lo Saang Kee, the genial Chinamen who upholds the principles of the occident as well as those of the orjent, thus symboliz- ing a benevolent justice in his charac- terization. In startling contrast to the kindly Lo Saang Kee will be the sinister figure of Hop Toy, as played by Frank Manning. The comedy element is in- troduced in the delightful character of Charlie Young, the Chop Suey King. by Warner Oland, and the juvenile role of Jimmie Potter has fallen to Nigel Bar- rie. Chang.Lee will be played by Nick Du Ruis, and a real Chinaman, Jim Wang. will portray the proprietor of the Love Boat. For the minor roles, all the coolies of the San Francisco and the Los Angeles Chinatowns have found easy access to good . jobs.

By Phyllis Bot- tome, author of “The Crystal etc. New York: George H. oran Company. OT _ fate, nor even Thoma: Hardy, is more inexoratle with the truth and logic of a situation ‘than is Phyllis Bottoms with the case of Jim Bar- ton. The story, as a whole, sets out ‘what life can do, and here does do, to the body and soul of an individual. ‘This is no make-believe life bent by & clever hand to the use of story making. It is life itself in its terror and its beauty, cut out surely and exactly. as it placed 'and tormented and trained Jim Barton. That clear Insight, that sharp incision, that mastery of the truth—these are the things that set this story in a high place, where only a few other current novels stand. A murderer, an unin- tentional murderer, at twelve or thereabout; a convict, and after that a2 bargeman, Jim, soon after this, ‘came upon the way of education. This shifted him to a different grade of folks. The tutor's wife became the star of his dumb aspiration—fiattered the lady was to be that. too. When the maid, Emily, said, however, that Jim was her seducer—which he was not—Jim was compelled to drift back to his lowlier status. And so this relentless story goes on—life just one deeply damned thing after another for Jim Barton. And Jim is so piti- fully dumb—like one of Rodin's men —and so sincere and so right, and this author s so austerely true to the facts of life. that the reader goes down and down with the fellow in dread and fear. The outcome? Oh, the outcome is different. If one were | going to quarrel with this gifted au- thor this would be the point of aif- ference. It might'have happened that way. Read the story and see what you think about it. Yes, it might have happened just that way, but it could, never in the world, have held |I. on in that way. Too much against it. Koor Jim.

Wells, author of “Mr. Poily,” etc. New York: The Macmillan Company Mr. Wells has only a few things to say, but these are momentous things _lying’ deep at the roots of human life and human progress. He says these vital things over and over, as he should and must. Sometimes he puts his knowledge and convic- tions intg a world histo Some- times into a novel, gain into political and philosophic discussions. The book in hand might be called a novel. In fact it is a_ pilgrimage. In effect it is a general confession of faith and life. For the purposes of this free speech Sir Richmond Hardy, head of a‘commission for or- ganizing the fuel industry, is sent upon a motor trip to quiet his nerves and to restore his body. With him goes an eminent physician, a com- panionable man, who knows all about nerves and their misbehaviors. And Sir Richmond, under this genia influence, talks himself out on any number of familiar Wellsian themes —organization of business. specifical- Iy here of the fuel business; organiza- tion of world politics, the power of the personal will of man to see straight even when he goes crooked, the place of woman in the male econ- omy, and fo on. In the talk of Sir Richmond, woman has a very minor part. In the motor trip, however, Sir Richmond develops a full-blooded flirtation and gives other evidence, as well. that his thcory of woman is stronger_in exceptions than it is in rules. It is a_stimulating restate- ment of many of the Wells principles of life—one that interests the reader anew in this many sided and brilliant man. THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING. By J. D. Beresford. author of “Th Jervaise Comedy.’ = The Macmillan Compan. The weird power of personality to the undoing of others—this is the drama which Mr. Beresford projects in clear vicion here. The high figure of the drama is Garvice Kenyon, an old man—over ninety years old. Should have been dead years before —would have been. to0, had he not sucked youth and vigor and stimu- lating thoughts and energy out of the people whom he gathered about him. A sauve and velvet-smooth old man, a handsome and arresting per- son. He built himsel a lordly manor house, beautiful and beguiling in its reach of walled acres, in the shut- in loveliness of its finished plans and furnishings. Here old Kenyon gath-: ered about him Kenvons from far and near—nleces with their husbands. nephews with their wives, single relatives—male and female. Invited as guests, they were held by subtle suggestions of ultimate profit—vague allusions to legacies, to a general future well-being. And upon these the old vampire battened, taking out of them the juices of youth, the vigor of maturity. The matter comes to the front through, the advent of a distant cousin. a voung physician, in- vited down for a week end. He hardly knows why he stays on and on—just as the already full house- ‘hold has stayed on—but he does. It is through this man and a young woman, also a prisoner of Hartling, that the dramatic story unfolds.

By Clara Endicott author of “The Bellringer.” e Boaton: Houghton Mifflin Compani TRis story invites one back to earlier New England, when villa customs bore a strong natural like- ness to the rural usages of old Eng and. Then the village green was the center of the common life. Upon ft May dances and harvest festivals turned to Christian uses the beauty @f ancient pagan practices. The romange in hand opens upon Fiddler's Green the dance in full swing. A pretty 0. that holds the atomsphere of older days and simpler wavs of pleasure. Buf. in those days the devil, a very ",2,‘ personage, was never far awa) a matter of fact he was at this very celebration, in the person of Zeke Stone. It could have been none oth: than the devil himself who made Ze! Stone desert pretty Eunice Gates &t the very altar. thus turning an ou- raged community into a single aven ing #rm against tkis truly posse: young man. The atmosphere of wit craft drifts into the tale, as it shy in any proper story of early New England. The re-birth of Zeke Stone is the business of this adventure— that and the conclusion of a softer and more wholesome romance that springs up between another young couple of the village. An engagi nd pleagant romance that deals mp’z ith the t th tive a bly and in good restraint wi elements of wkich it is made. It takes a long time to reach this mysterious isle of seven moons— somewhere in the Caribbean. 1 deed, the story is more than half done before its elusive outlines come within sight of the adventuro: groups headed toward it. One ge! the feeling that the author is puttinj off the day of approach as If, om% arrived, there is really nothing new to say about these over-writtén islands of the southern seas. Bright birds, green foliage, tangled jungles of vine. caves, bones. a wave-worn toothbrush and suchlike. offer 3o great field for even the brightest ot imagination. To be sure, on this pa¥- ticular island the young hero of ke has been too long marooun&d. But there were many things to do— much amusing and momentous siuft to get out.of the way—before the business of rescue, and the counter business of defeat, could be given ex- clusive attention. The author Ras gathered a motley set of people here —sailors, pure adventurers, & scamp or two, a weakling. a music hall queen, foreigners, natives, whatnot —and af the heart of the matter is pretty Sally Fell bent to the rescue of her lover on the faraway island. The matter sums to something like an orgy of fun and clean adventure. with a thread of pure romance di: recting and shaping the whole tumul- tuous to-do.

The theme of this tale is evervwhere. though this intensified illumination. whether this is_bent to the domination of others. Mr. Beresford has crystallized this general trait in a most telling social comedy. !THE PRAIRIE CHILD. By Arthur H Stringer. author of “The Prairie Mother,” etc. Illustrated by E. Ward. Indianapolis: The Bobbs: Merrill Company. Despite the title, it is the mother, not the child, who fills the stage here. The boy is merely a tool to whet to keener edge the familiar and deep-sourced pasgion of a mother for her son. The lonely prairie set- ting, with which Mr. Stringer has already more than once proved him- self sympathetic and communicable, adds its own effect of exclusion to this complete self-absorption of motherhood. It is obvious that the author likes this woman. that he has 1put the best of his effort upon her. And the reader is for her, too, when at the opening page she discloses her husband’s clear infatuation for the country =chool teacher. By the time the matteér is wound up. however, one realizes that there is no place for a mere husband in this purely maternal complex. . Therefore, one veers over to the side of the dis- possessed man who must get his companionship on the outside of this close corporation of mother and son. Having secured her son. this mother, had she been of a certain order of creation. would have devoured, eaten up. the -instrument of her achieve- ment. Instead. she relegates him to the ash-heap of household negligibles. The lad is a fine little chap—except that he has too much mother. The th i familiar as to be found in any com- i munity. The story has the universal fouch that gives it-common appeal. THE SPELL OF THE I-IIIKFI‘.BBY‘ oy Fraprie, §. M. mong Inns” etc. Illustrated. ‘The Page Company.
