LEWIS ^JlERHAPS one of the best tests of the fact that Lewis Stone is a great artist is the way he has maintained a steadily increasing STONE following. After a few years on the screen most players have to make way for the younger people that are introduced. But that is because they are not great enough for the public constantly to find something new in them. Every picture in which Lewis Stone appears is further evidence that he is an exceptional artist. His old admirers are always seeing something else in him to admire — and there are always new ones to make his list of fans one of the longest of any screen star. He is six feet tall and has grey hair and hazel eyes. One of the attributes which make him an outstanding figure is his perfect poise. His every gesture is natural and gracejul. He never overacts. He was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1879, and was educated in New York City. As far back as 1901 he began his stage career in a play called " Sidetracked," which was produced in the old Third Avenue Theatre in New York. He made his first picture under Thomas H. Ince in 1915. It was " Honor's Altar," in which he had the leading role. His success was instantaneous. A few of his many well-known productions are " Cytheria," " The Lost World," The Life of Helen of Troy," " Scaramouche," ' The Prisoner of Zenda," ." Man's Desire," " Nomads of the North," ' The Trial of Mary Dugan," " The Big House," " Wonder of Women," " The Office Wife," and " My Past."
