Did you ever know an actor to come to the front as truly great who wasn't a character actor? Can yon name offhand one of the great tragedy roles on which the immortals of our art have based their claim to immortality that wasn't a character part? While youth and beauty have their eternal appeal, the camera treats them malevolently. Let the wrinkles come or the double chin or let the waistband grow and the camera is indeed malevolent. Father Time ! How much he has to answer for. But the character actor sleeps well. He can sit down to a hearty meal and enjoy it. He doesn't care what kind of a story he is put in ; it can't affect him. He doesn't look with horror toward the coming of old age. Twenty years from now, if I live, I shall be enjoying my comfortable weekly salary and having just as much fun out of life as I have now. And those who are stars today will be unknown to the newer generation and only memories to the old. Stars may come and go, dynasties may totter, republics may rise and fall, the character man goes on unheeding. The glory of the world passeth away, but the character man keeps on working fifty-two weeks in the year. The star can ripen his powers, polish and temper his tools — he can develop a knowledge of the great classic drama; he can make of himself an encyclopedia of the complex and elusive art of expression— anl old Father Time drops a mantle of grey upon him and he withers into a memory. But the character actor acknowledges no obligation to Time save the payment of the final debt, and apart from such losses as may come through the gradual weakening of the nerves and muscles he has no fear of the thunderous silence of the passing years.

By them I have built up thousands of weak, ailing, despondent men and women; turned the watery veins to rich, tissue-building blood; strengthened their vital organs, developed their muscles, external and internal ; given them back health, happiness, hope, ambition and the joy to the full of Living Life. STRONGFORTISM Strongfortism is the Science of Living Life as NATURE meant it to be lived; of taking advantage in the utmost degree of the marvelous recuperative powers she has implanted in the human organism and letting her work the cure of any ills. Nature's way is the only safe, sane, sure way of getting back lost health aud strength. Her laws operate for every Individual alike, and never fail. Those laws, those methods, I have incorporated in the system of Strongfortism and applied them with unvarying success to my pupils in every part of the world. What NATURE, through the practice of Strongfortism, has done for others, she will do for YOU, if you will only give her half a chance. There isn't the slightest doubt about it.

After finishing the scenes in each set at the Famous PlayersLasky Corporation studios she makes a careful survey of each piece of furniture, the rug, hangings and vases, to see if there is anything she wants for her own home. Fitting up her home with novelties is her great extravagance, she says, and often so many beautiful things are used to "dress" sets for her pictures that she can't resist buying them.
