MOTION PICTURE

KING BAGGOT, OF THE IMP COMPANY
an old-fashioned sofa. The lines in the forehead, if examined closely for a moment, look just like what they are — dark crayon lines over the skin. The white paint necessary for the stage make-up makes them look in the photograph like an animate ghost, or as tho the actor had just dipped his head in a flour-barrel. If the actors in a Moving Picture play all looked
made, the make-up man had to make up seven hundred and thirty-eight characters. He started at five o’clock in the morning and had his seven hundred and thirty-eight characters made up and ready five minutes before the time scheduled for the members of the cast to take their places. In the mob scene from “The Little Minister” he made up five hundred characters, and these were even more difficult than those in the Lincoln scene.
If you were to see some movie actors, especially those in character parts, in person, instead of on the screen, in this make-up, you would see a most grotesque-looking person. The entire face is sometimes made up in deep pink to give the rather sallow, grayish complexion of age. Lines are used between the eyebrows, across the forehead, about the eyes and running down each side of the nose, all of crimson lake — a bright red color which photographs black. When this crimson lake is blended with the pink
color covering the skin and a trifle of light put around the edges for the high-lights, the camera makes it look like real wrinkles. Even the quality of hair in the vug has to be finer for the camera, or else it would look more like the stuffing of a hair mattress than the hirsute adornment of a human being.
All this hideous mess of pinks and crimson lake, and white outlines around the crimson-lake streaks, makes the face grotesque, laughable and clownish to look at. In the picture the result is perfection.
To see such a character made up as he would appear on a stage before the footlights, the eyes appear as tho they were popping out of the head ; the eyebrows look as tho they were glued on, and the false hair does indeed look as tho it came from the musty anatomy of
