BY CYNTHIA GREY “How can I get into the movies?” This type of query is more bothersome than the endless chain letter, and just as “endless.” If I get one on Monday, I receive 10 or a dozen before the week is over. They are, as a rule, from indolent young girls who imagine they are pretty and that they may evade school or hard work by following “the royal road to the movies.” This answer, I hope, will suffice for all of them for at least siz months. In the first place, there is no royal road to the silver screen. The qualifications necessary for one wishing to become a screen star are: Personality, including personal appearanct; education; experience as an actress; good camera presence— that is, ability to register emotion effectively before the camera; all kinds of athletic ability; good health; wide gen- eral knowledge; perseverance and good luck. So, girls, if you are equipped with all these attributes, you MIGHT get a hearing before a director, but even that’s no sign you would get a job. The profession is crowded with applicants, and unless one possesses unusual ability, the chance of “breaking in” is comparatively small. And speaking of the chances be- ing “small,” that reminds me of the salaries in connection. Perhaps there is nothing in the world that is so exaggerated as the screen star’s salary. The average actor who works in a film play gets no more than a living wage. Eighty per cent take small parts. The best wage for these, year in and year out, is about $28 a week, There remains 16 per cent who play parts that are of com- parative importance, and these draw in the neighborhood of $45 per week on the average. Then there is another 4 per cent, like Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, etc,, who receive enviable salaries. To Grow Bulbs Indoors What ts the secret of successfully growing bulbs Indoors? The essentiala are that they shall become thoroughly rooted before the tops are permitted to grow. This ta done by planting the bulbs in soll either in shallow porcelain pots or bores. These bulbs are then placed | bulbs should then be brought into a sightly warmer place with some BY STAN] light for three or four days and then | . ° in @ cool place in the dark for a period of two to sw or eight weeks, or even longer tf desired. They should be left there until the roots Gre well started. In the case of the bulbs planted in pots, the pots may be inverted and gently tapped, when the bulb and soil will come out in @ mass. When the bulbs have been sufficiently long in the pots, the earth in the bottom of the pot wi pletely covered with rootle: brought gradually into greater jtarmth and full light. During all | the period of growth the ground | should be kept moist without being watersoaked. eee | Monu ment to Confederate Soldiers Is there a monument to confeder- ate soldiers in the Arlington Nation- al cemetery Washington? Who {put it there? What is the history of tt? Yes, the monument to the confed- | erate dead at Arlington was provided | by the women of the Houth thru the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The monument ta of bronze and mar- ble, and was designed by Bir Moses ektel. The dominant figure is a woman of heroic size, typifying the South in peace, surmounting a relief | | depicting the herotam of the South jin war; and there is @ series of the “” coat of arms of the states of the |southern confederacy. The dedica tion inscription reads; “To Our Dead Heroes, by the United Daugh- | tera of the Confederacy.
