By HAZEL SIMPSON NATLOR he sees in a woman's eyes. The most enchanting kiss is with the eyes open — eyes in whose depths the man imagines he sees all sorts of mystery." Wally Reid and other men are ready to enter the discussion, ranging themselves on the other side of the argument. They consider that only a cold-blooded woman kisses with her eyes open, and that a woman who feels genuine emotion closes her eyes when she kisses. Strangely enough in this superf eature of Mr. de Mille's, "The Affairs of Anatol," the husband, portrayed by The moral of "The Affairs of Anatol" is "Be careful whom you kiss, for the disillusionment that follows is as bitter as aloes." Above, Wallace Reid and Bebe Daniels; and below, with Wanda Hawley Wallace Reid, becomes tired of his wife because she kisses him too much. "Nothing is so deadly to a husband as a surfeit of sentiment," said de Mille. "Sooner or later, in every man's. life there comes an ending to the honeymoon. Not that he loves his wife less, but he has passed the springtime of his love and he is anxious to be accomplishing things — he wants to progress for his wife's sake as well as his own, and kisses at breakfast, luncheon and dinner begin to thoroly sicken him — just as too much candy is apt to do. "The wise wife promptly becomes a good comrade, interested in her husband's business, in his sports and his athletics. She knows that springtime returns each year and is doubly precious because of the intervening months of summer, autumn and winter. Likewise is the renewal of the kissing season doubly precious." In "The Affairs of Anatol," Gloria Swanson, as the wife, fails to realize this until her husband, quite by accident, is thrust into close association with an athletic girl. Invigorating hikes, fishing and swimming with her as his companion seem as refreshing to Anatol as a drink of cool water after a box of sweetmeats. Then what happens? The out-of-doors girl, played by Dorothy Cummings, becomes obsessed with the womanly curse of sentimentality and they kiss. Whereupon our hero wakes up from Affair No. 1, for if he is to be kissed at all, he much prefers the caresses of his own beautifullygowned little wife. Affair No. 2 is with takes the part of a girl rescues her only to find him. (Continued on page 86) Wanda Hawley, who of the cabarets. He she cannot be true to 29 9*6 ft
