Merely holding up the stocking is not enough if the grip or clasp slips or rips, causing runs in hosiery. The VELVET GRIP is the only Hose Supporter with the Oblong All-Rubber Button a unique feature which, because of its shape and larger holding surface, does Prevent Slipping and Ruthless Ripping _ Velvet Grip "Sew-Ons" can be bought separately and attached easily to any corset.

Knickerbocker Studios 201 Gaiety Big.N.Y. Can You Break Into the Movies ? Continued from page 22 directors and no camera women, there is no real reason why women should not aspire to and attain either of these offices. I think myself that women directors are sorely needed in the industry, which would be much improved by using them. In the offices there are numerous positions for girls and men. From the frosty clerk who takes your name at the door to the highly paid scenario writer there are many and diverse positions. The telephone girls make perhaps fifteen dollars a week, and the continuity writers from one hundred to four hundred, sometimes more. But most of these positions demand some education, some ability, some special training. They use trained stenographers and accountants in the business offices of motion pictures just as any firm does, and you stand a chance, if you are trained, of getting a job here just as at any other place. By all means, if you like the work, make all the friends you can, and if you do not succeed as an actress you may be able to work with, if not in, motion pictures. I am writing this in the year 1921. These are conditions as I see them. It is not fair to conclude these articles without two additions. The motion-picture industry has just passed through a very dull season. It, like all business, has suffered in the general depression that has followed the war. It has not yet completely recovered. With all good wishes to you who wish to break into the movies I must tell you this. Your chances this year are slimmer than usual. And lastly. This industry is in a chaotic and changing state. It is very poorly organized, very badly managed, and will have to change — indeed will have to be almost made over — within the next few years. And it is going to be made over for the better. The people who come to the studios these days are a far more intelligent, higher-calibered set of human beings than the average of five years ago. Standards are rising. The mother who is planning a motion-picture career for her son or daughter need not feel that I have settled the matter. In two years the problem may be very different. But the mother or the girl or the young man who is thinking to-day of entering the motion-picture field, of breaking into it, has here the truth as nearly as I can see and write it.
