November, 1920 61 A Practical Dreamer — Gaston Glass {Continued from page 59) "Her vision was forever in her conscious mind in word form. She wanted to do something. Her subconscious mind pictured the thought 'occupying her conscious mind. Is it not so?" He paused, only to continue dreamily: "When anyone says 'we are such things as dreams are made of,' I take him literally. History offers many examples, among the most beautiful, Joan of Arc." "But how do you apply the dream idea to yourself ?" curiously. "In this way," with a quick nod and a shy sort of half smile. 'My dreams picture the ideal for which I strive in my motion picture work. And that is, achieving the distinction of being an artist, rather than an actor." And his brown eyes, seeming to see far, far beyond the narrow confines of the room, aroused a wonder on what could stand in the way of this most practical of dreamers — Gaston Glass, the youthful Frenchman who loves his adopted country, the work he is doing, and the thrill of battling his way upward to realize the fruits of his ambitious dreams I A Little Bird Told Me {Continued from page 54) get the editor to print my answers without trying to give him any of my poems. T. M. L. — Evelyn Dumo is playing with Mary Pickford in "The Flame in the Dark." R. F. D. — Eugene Strong has quit pictures and is now in vaudeville. Edmund Breese is playing on the stage in "Welcome Stranger." Surely, several players appear on the stage and in pictures. Alice Brady is in New York now in "Anna Ascends," and Rod La Rocque, another movie favorite, is in the cast, too. Alice plans to start work on another picture shortly, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Rod with her in that. Little Nell — I've heard a lot about Little Nell ! I wonder if you can tell me how much of it to believe. Harrison Ford in that picture He's coming to New York to play opposite the Talmadges. I guess you must mean Monte Blue. They do look alike. Monte is much taller, though. T. B. M. — No, Wesley Barry is not married to Marjorie Daw. Wes is just a youngster, and Marjorie is not very much older. F. E. E. — I just love those initials. I wish I could get a fee for something. Margurita Fischer and David G. Fischer are not related. David Fischer has just started his own company. "The Shadow of the Dome," his first feature, will be finished shortly. Real News of Reel People {Continued from page 52) Lasky British Producers, Ltd. In the list are Malcolm Cherry, who has toured the United States with Fred Terry and Julia Neilson ; Ben Webster, at present playing in "Mr. Pirn Passes By;" Mary Glynne and Jack Hobbs, both playing in "The Grain of Mustard Seed." * * * Because Scotty, his fine Airedale, proved himself such a good actor in "The Right to Love," Director George Fitzmaurice decided to give his other dogs a chance to act, so, in his fourth production for Susie, a German police dog, and Lady, a beautiful greyhound, will make their debut before the camera. * * * Hudson Hare, the well-known Broadway leading man and film actor, sacrificed his crowning glory to pky a role in "The Educa{Continued on page 62) I'll Teach You Piano in Quarter Usual Time To persons who have not previously heard of my method, this may seem a pretty bold statement.

Out or every four ho'urs of study, one hour is spent entirely away from the keyboard — learning something about Harmony and The Laws of Music. This is an awful shock to most teachers of the "old school," who still think that learning piano is solely a problem of "finger gymnastics." When you do go to the keyboard, you accomplish twice as much, because you understand what you are doing. Within four lessons I enable you to play an interesting piece not only in the original key, but in all other keys as well. I make use of every possible scientific help — many of which are entirely unknown to the average teacher. My patented invention, the COLOROTONE, sweeps away playing difficulties that have troubled students for generations. By its use Transposition — usually a "nightmare" to students — becomes easy and fascinating. With my fifth esson I introduce another important and exclusive invention, QUINNDEX. Quinn-Dexis a simple, hand-operated moving picture device, which enables you to see, right before your eyes, every movement of my hands at the key-board. You actually see the fingers move. Instead of having to reproduce your teacher's finger movements from MEMORY — which cannot always be accurate — you have the correct models before you during every minute of practice. The COLOROTONEand QUINN-DEXsave you months and years of wasted effort. They can be obtained only from me, and there is nothing else, anywhere, even remotely like them.
