SCREENLANB is saying something with it. He has made his body a background to his face in which you see not so much feeling as the expression of how he thinks the character of his part thought about life. "I'd like to have some one write a true character scenario for Barthelmess after making a study of him himself — a picture around the early life of some famous pioneer, one who had so much disposition that he could not disguise it even in buckskins.

There are none about whom they have been so wrong. "A superficial estimate of some temperaments is the verse of the trained observer's searching analysis. Valentino is one of these. The public has accepted him in the main as magnetic and subtle, possessed of that hypnotic fascination with which superstition endows the snake charmer, a masculine Cleopatra. For them he makes the perfect Hindu Prince, the ideal sheik. Indeed, any part elusive, mysterious and primordial, from the Egyptian priest to the Indian brave belongs in the popular mind to the Valentino myth. "Just one attribute of the popular idea is true to the actual Valentino. He is primordial. He belongs, as does many a MAGIC GLOVES Whiten Hands Overnight Astounding Scientific Discovery— Dr. Egan's Magic Night Gloves! Make rough, reddened, work-worn hands soft and white over-night!
