Picture Show (Nov 1919-Apr 1920)

The rUture Show, April 2Wi, 1920. 21 CHARACTER AS TOLD BY THE FACE. Intellectuality and Culture are Shown in the Face of Stewart Rome. The Eye. NOTE the hidden upper lid, and the absence of it shows us tlie power in the eye itself. We find ourselves obliged (o 3ubmit to this power. A man with an eye like this shows us only surfaces, jet he is million fathoms deep. The Short, Straight Nose ILLUSTRATES a desire for knowledge. We find persons with noses like this type holding first place in responsible positions, and if accompanied by the brow which is hero portrayed, this trait is confirmed. The Firm, but Susceptible Mouth. NOTE the length of the upper lip. In all highly intellectual, clever men wo find/ this length ; for instance, Emerson, Gladstone, Lavater, Plato, and many others. The Chin of Resolution. THE chin, which depends for success on the happy adjustment of heart and brain. The faculty of commanding the end in view, and the means by which it can be attained. Self-trust was the first beginning of his success. Good Humour and Wit. THE humour here indicated levels all distinctions, and makes its own welcome. No force of character can make any stand against good wit and humour. The pear-shaped faco is a sign of intellectuality and culture. The Ears. NOTE how well placed the ears are in this face — high, and full of character. Rarely do we find ears so well placed as to height and shape. In Health. SOMETIMES irritable, very susceptible to congenial surroundings. Being of the purely Saxon type. Outdoor sports suit them best. STEWART ROME. The Forehead. THE full, square forehead with the dip in the centre shows the artistic temperament and a keen insight into nature. The fulness at the side of the forehead indicates humour, wit, and mirth. The Over-shadowing Eyebrow. NOTE the clear, thick, over-shadowing eyebrow. A sign of a deep, sound, manly understanding. A man finding he is working in the right direction goes to the v"ery edge of a possibility, who looks upon opposition as an opportunity. FILM TPTJL2<[m Useful.

Film Actor (on location) who has noticed an artist painting a scene : " I'll give you £30 for that picture if you don't put another stroke to it." Artist : " I am really very flattered by your offer, but it is not quite finished." Kir.M AeTOR : " Oh, that doesn't matter. 1 just want the canvas to mend a busted tyre ! " brought in a card. Ho had scarcely time to read it when a tall, thin individual rushed in and exclaimed : " My namo is Elijah K. Higgins, and I am a busy man. You'are also busy and have no time to fool away. Four days is all I can give tho United Kingdom, and I wished to shako hands with you. Good-bye, 1 am off to Drumtochty." And the stranger made a hurried exit. At the Cinema Ball.

MARY MACLAREN, tho Universal star, who is in some way related to Ian MacLaren, tho famous author, tells n story that has been handed down in her family concerning the writer, who was know n in private life as Rev. Dr. Watson. Ho was seated in his study uhen his servant Very Careless. PRISCILLA DEAN, was discussing the modern girl at Universal City the other day. • , " Some people say the modern girl is eettmg careless and thoughtless," sho said. " Hero is a story of a friend of mine that bears out the statement. " A young girl jumped out of ller roadster and came running to her father. " 'J'vo just run over somo gum,' sho told her dad. " ' Well, what of it ? ' asked papa. ' I should not worry." . ' 'Yes, but you don't understand, there was a man chewing it ! ' she gasped." — — Something Like. ALLAN HOUJBAR, tho well-known producer, is a most exacting task niasler in the matter of inako-up. Recently ho had occasion to have a character actor do a black-face bit in ono of his productions, and ho demanded realism. Pointing his finger at tho player he said ; " Now look here, Blank. [ want you to get your face so well blacked that if you scratch it with a piece of charcoal it will leave a white mark." 3hi Cetvva&tcento often depends upon the suitability of the diet. Doctors recommend milk and Corn Flour as a nourishing and agreeable food — one which pleases the palate and hastens the patient's recovery. Corn Flour renders milk more digestible, and together they thoroughly nourish the system. Serve it first as a thin milk soup — then after as a milk pudding — later, add an egg.
