EVERY WOMAN should be the rightful owner of beautiful eyes, the essentials of which are, First: Long, rich eyelashes; and Second: Well-cared-for eyebrows. No matter what color your eyes may be, — gray, brown or blue, — if they are shaded by thick, silky lashes, and wellshaped brows, their charm is greatly accentuated. Nowadays, no one needs to be the dissatisfied possessor of short, thin, uneven brows and lashes; you can greatly assist Nature by simply applying a little of M. T.'s Eyelash and Eyebrow Beautifier at night. This scientific preparation nourishes the eyebrows and eyelashes, causing them to become gradually thick and lustrous, imparting sparkling expression to the eyes, and added charm to the face. M. T.'s Eyelash and Eyebrow Beautifier, which has been successfully used by thousands, is 'guaranteed absolutely harmless; it is not a greasy, sticky salve, but a clean, nicely-perfumed liquid, in a cut glass bottle with glass stopper and applicator. The cut represents actual size of bottle. The active principle of this valuable article is a rare and expensive organic concentration which is unequalled for the purpose of stimulating and strengthening the particular follicles which produce rich, dark eyelashes.

Things Tou Never Knew (Continued from page 41) the action the director sits in his chair, and makes a noise like a deaf-mute at a clambake. When there are several stupid supers or extras in a scene, for hotel stuff or country club "atmospher," the director uses a megaphone. But the tone is invariably quite subdued, almost bored, one might be tempted to say, did he not realize the results such quiet methods get. It is next to impossible to break into the charmed circle of moving-picture actors. Unless you have a stage record or dramatic experience of some sort, you are not even considered. Beauty doesn't help so much as one would suppose it should. There are exceptions, of course, just as there are to everj' rule. Norman Kerry was thrust into service opposite Connie Talmadge, in a street scene one summer day, when her leading man left in a fine temperamental frenzy, and Bessie Love was asked into the studio by Griffith himself, but over ninetynine per cent of the topnotchers today — and an equal percentage of those who are not so topnotch — were schooled by Hard Knox, and fought their way to whatever position they now hold. At the Studio Club — the Hollywood branch of the Y. W. C. A. — you will see girls rivaling Clara Young and Anita Stewart in beauty, girls who would cause you to smile contentedly and say "Let's stay a while !" You will find youth and beauty combined in such a way as to produce a result usually best expressed by the term "Pippins !" And yet these lustrous-eyed, red-lipped optical treats continue to make the rounds of the studios daily, taking a bit here, an extra part there, and being satisfied with whatever comes to them, be it ever so humble. Some of them cant act; some of them fail to register their beauty on the fickle screen, and some are j ust plxn unlucky. None of them will say "Come West, young girl, come West !" Breaking into pictures is as hard as breaking out of a strait-jacket. Of course, if you're a Houdini, and can do the latter, it's easy enough to accomplish the former ! Marriage is as popular in Hollywood as it is in Omaha, Dubuque, or Lebanon, Pa. Musical comedians to the contrary notwithstanding, the standard of morality in the celluloid colony is just as high as it is in any correspondingly large community in these United States. The only difference is that divorcees in Tuscaloosa haven't the efficient press agents that grace Hollywood and its natives. Every move is a picture, and if possible, a front-page feature. The Threshold (Continued from page 45) California, high on a mountain where it is entirely hidden from the winding road. And in the garden of her new home she will plant a tree for some friend; a rosebush for a loved one — and so on, and she goes further, fresh in her April days, to dream about old age, when she will wander about in her memory garden where every tree and shrub will tell her a story of someone or something in the years of her life then faded. At this juncture the friend came and, in leaving, I wished again I might paint her in the glory of her youth, rich in her high hopes and dreams — that I might paint her and call the painting "April." 86
