What did they do with the story? They made the soldier a famous sculptor, -weet as Xi-w Orleans molasses, and effected tlie regeneration of the munition maker and tlie apache by having the former shoot the latter and then commit suicide. I should liave been happier had the child been mur■lered outright and not compelled to live mutilated thus." Vou may have noticed that when the heroine arises from her downy couch to greet the dawn or the hero as the case may be, she U always immaculate, and her toilet is a perfunctory affair. The chief ambition of .^gnes Christine Johnston, of the Ince staff, is to show the trouble a girl takes to make herself presentable for her beloved. This is how she has offered it for screening: "SCENE 13: IRIS IX on BOUDOIR of SHERO. She is asleep in bed. She wears a very plain night-gown — not the usual moving picture lacey variety — she is spending all her money on hats with which to dazzle the hero and therefore economizes on things he doesn't see, like night-gowns. Her hair is done up in curlers — those dreadfully uncomfortable iron things. She is sleeping on one. which evidently sticks straight into her scalp. "She wakes, makes a wr\' face as she rubs the spot where the curl-paper hurt. She has spent a night of torture but it is all for the sake of the hero and she smiles. She rises, covers her face with cold-cream, then applies lemon with one hand and boiling water with the other. She winces. The Tortures of the Spanish Inquisition have nothing on the modern beauty treatment. But Shero smiles dreamily into the mirror, knowing that she will emerge, radiantly beautiful and the hero will certainly fall for her this day." " 'I'm going to change that boudoir scene.' •he director tells me. 'We ll take a silhouette shot of her in the moonlight, with her hair flowing down around her lacey pajamas." ■'I protest. 'But that's how she loves the hero — she is making herself beautiful for him.' " "Nonsense ! We'll shoot a scene of her kissing a letter or a glove.' " 'But girls don't do that." I am cryine by now. "When a girl loves a man she concentrates everything on her looks. She suffers agonies of beauty treatments for him.' " 'But the audience doesn't want to see the star in curl papers and cold cream.' "'The women would be tickled to death to find her so human." I persist, 'and as for the men — it s time they learned what we undergo for them.' "But the director turns a pitying smile upon me and hurries off. Sometimes I see tlie ghost of this dream child in the shape of the shero brushing her perfectly marcelled locks, standing in a lacey nightie, but the curl papers and cold cream never get beyond the scenario department." Edward T Lowe of the C.oldwyn stafif has a standing kick against the clinch at the finish — the inevitable emotional halfnelson that has come into recognition by some producers as the onl\ way .1 picture can be permitted to end. Says Sir. Lowe: "How many times have you .seen the , riticism which berates the imbecility of the scenario writer for inevitably ending the Kvery idtcrl Itoinciit In I'llOTOI'LAY MAGAZINU U guarwUcoO.
