what I mean, dont you, by all this talk about mushroom stars ? Now, I consider Dorothy and Lillian Gish have worked long enough at their training. I expect great things from them. I think Dick Barthelmess has served faithfully — he has only been playing the featured parts for a couple of years — and look what he has accomplished. "On the other hand, I think a girl like Dorothy Mackaill a clever little actress who with proper training, will some day make a real star." TKat's Out (Continued from page 56) 4. For a highly emotional scene, deposit several large drops of glycerine in the eyes of the heroine in such a manner that they will start to roll down over her face just as the camera begins to grind. 5. In cafe scenes show some close-ups of the jazz band. 6. As a novel effect for dance frolics and masquerade balls, have several hundred toy balloons set loose with the spotlight playing upon them. More Producer Bunkum All this talk from the producers about their anxiously seeking about for "new screen faces" is nothing but pure blarney. Lord knows, the producers need new screen faces badly enough, but they are not making any sincere or energetic attempts to do anything about the matter except in so far as it will mean some publicity for them in the papers. The producers claim that they are having trouble in getting young players with possibilities and requirements for screen success. Just where the film Moguls are doing their searching is a puzzle. Certainly not in the most logical places — the casting offices of the studio and the mob scenes in the sets. If they did they would very quickly find all the player material they claim to be hunting for. As a matter of fact, the producers prefer to go right along using the established favorites. Countless young players in Hollywood can testify that they have been refused parts for which they were fully suited on the grounds that they were "not well enough known." The End of the Costume Picture It. can now be safely predicted that the costume picture will shortly die a sudden and unmourned death at the hands of theater-goers. As is his usual custom the producer has gone from one extreme to another. A couple of years ago he couldn't be persuaded to make a costume picture from any angle. The public didn't want them, he said. Today the producers are making nothing but costume pictures. That is what the public wants, they say. The truth of the matter is that the public ; neither wants costume dramas, nor doesn't want them. It wants interesting pictures, that is all. The trouble with the costume films of the old days was that they were all costume and no story. "Passion" showed what could really be done with period plays and for a while the public liked it. Now the producers are getting back to the 1910 model of picture — all costume and no drama. The theater-goers will soon revolt. For the Hall of Fame We nominate : Bertram Grassby, one of the most subtle players, and one of the Even though the teeth he ferfectly formed and regular they cannot be attractive and charming if stained with tartar and discoloration, and dull with lacklustre AFTER USING A three-minute application of Rename!, after the morning tooth-brushing, leaves the teeth pearly white and glistening; every tooth a tooth of gleaming ivory 'NacViscovtry MakesDull TeethPearly White Beautiful white teeth may now be every woman's possession. Remarkable new liquid removes all dullness and discoloration in few minutes— imparting gleamy whiteness and sparkle to any set of teeth The Woman Who Dared Not Smile By Richard Somners EVERY man fell head-over-heels in love with Henrietta Blaine — until she smiled. Then the charm was broken. Everybody agreed she would be absolutely irresistible if it only were not for her unsightly, discolored teeth. Then, one day a miracle happened! Henrietta appeared at May Osborne's dinner party and wasseated at the tableopposite George Gould. In the midst of a humorous anecdote George stopped suddenly and stared in disbelief at Henrietta whose lips were parted in a smile. There followed an awkward pause at the table. All eyes were turned in the direction of George's stare and at once everybody knew: a wonderful thing had happened to Henrietta. Vanished was the ugly, yellowish stain that had for so long marred her teeth. Now they were white and radiant as oriental pearls — beautiful in their gleaming lustre and evenness. And this is the story as Henrietta later told it to May in the privacy of her boudoir: "Since childhood, I have been a chum of Martha Ryerson's, whose father is head of the famous Century Chemists. One night at the Ryerson home t told Mr. Ryerson frankly the tragedy of my awful-looking teeth and begged him to find a way to help me out. After months of experimenting this is the result." Pearly Teeth for Every Woman Ryerson's Renamel for the teeth is the most important beauty discovery in ages. There have been tonics, lotions, dyes and creams galore for the skin, the hair, the figure, but until now the woman with dull, discolored, yellow teeth has had no assistance beyond the ordinary "tooth washes" which merely remove dirt without relieving dullness or stain. The application of this wonderful new dental discovery is simplicity itself. Any woman can apply it in her own home with lovely and immediate results. Merely apply a thin coat of Renamel (with soft camel's hair brush provided)—just after the morning tooth-brushing. Allow to remain on the teeth for two or three minutes — then wipe off with a dry cloth. And lo! a miracle has been performed. Every tooth is gleaming ivory — as white as virgin pearls — with all tartar and stain vanished completely. Guaranteed Pure and Harmless Renamel is not only harmless, but it is positively beneficial to the teeth. Your dentist will endorse its purity. Itispleasantly, butpotently, antiseptic — destroying the tiny bacteria that often lurk in the crevices of the teeth.
