Creotnul •ion Co., Atlanta b» BEHIND THE SCREEN By SAMVEL GOLDIEO V _L_A (Continued Inn iMterdtj.l It was apparent in the ensuing days that the impression Charlie made on her was not a fleeting one. lley mind was always pef oh ■jleing him again. It was plain that sr>e thought of him always, and part of her eager ness to reach America was due to this interest. Therefore, it is not at all unusual that this interest should develop into a beautiful romance when she met him again in California. 1 saw these artists together a great deal during my visit there. In fact they are inseparable. A great rnaiyy people have asked me if I think they will marry. Judging the depths' of a woman's feelings and her intentions from the way she bets, which of course, is not an easy thing to do, I believe Miss Negri intends ta marry Charlie. While Chaplin does not admit he is in love, I have; never seen a mau^so devoted to a Woman as lie , is to Pola. Jn tvit1 1 think she 'i.4 the one woman who has ever interested him completely. Stories are circulat ed to the effect that Miss Negri an nounces her engagement to Chaplin in the morning papers and Charlie denies it in the evening papers and vice versa. I know these are not authenticated or authorized either of them, for they are both sincere. Both are great artists, and there fore misunderstandings are hound to happen. Whatever l am asked about the combination I shy it Is ‘a greut one, but that there exists perhaps a little too much temperament. • At the present moment, however, Miss Negri's career is occupying her most vital thoughts. I believe that she, like every great artist, puts her careen before her personal desires, no matter how strong they may he. She Is working to establish her American reputation as she established her European one, with a thoroughness and intensity coupled with tireless energy and. Indefatigable attention that makes her an extremist in everything. * I learned at the studio that it she has music to work with she will be satisfied with nothing less than cease less playing of funeral dirges through out the entire" day. She is known to make twice as many scenes.each day as is normally required. Her first day at Famous-Players studio was a record breaker. She made 39 scenes, whereas 12 scenes are considered a good day’s work. Site not only learns her own role, but the roles of all the others acting in the picture with her. She objects strongly to visitors be ing brought to the "set” where she is working. It interferes with her mood, she declares, and she is light. The making of moving pictures is a busi nes, just as the making of stgel, or the growing of flowers, or the sculp ing of a grent statue, and there is no reason for it being made a curiosity shop. If she studies fashions, she studies them with this same indefatigable zeal that marks her every effort. She has every fashion magazine published in Europe and America, and pores over them for hours. She Is an In curable enthusiast In everything she does. There Is probably no other woman !n pictures today who Is endowed with more of the basic elements re quired to make a great dramatic ac tress than Pola Negri. CHAPTER NINETEEN. The Two Talmadge*. I accompanied Schenck to the R'vOtu th see* his fiancee on the screen, and I was very forcibly struck with tha beauty and talent of Miss Norma Talmadge. "Very lovely—very gifted,” was my verdict as we left the theater. "Isn’t she, though?” he responded eagerly. "I tell you that gill Is bound to go far." He hesitated for a moment, and then turning toward me abruptly he asked, "How about it, Sam? Wouldn't you like to have her for your company? She’d come with you for a thousand a week.” I shook my head. "I’m sorry, Joe," I replied, "but you know what the situation Is. It’s the big name that counts nowadays, and Miss Talmadge, beautiful and talented as she is, hasn’t enough fame far a man. try ing to put over a new company. But why don’t you try Zukor? He’s bet ter established and could afford to take a chance." "No," answered he, "J might as well tell you that he’s turned her dewn already." This dialogue was destined to he an Illuminating comment upon both my competitor and myself. In refusing to heed the knock of opportunity we both lost, many thousands of dollars. Indeed, I might as well admit here, in these annals of a life so crowded with errors of Judgment, that In my case opportunity was lenient. Once again, a year or so after this episode, she attain knocked at my door. And once again I was deaf to the golden visitor. On this second occasion Schenck, who had In the meanwhile married Mias Talmadge, came to me with a proposition. ’’Sam,’’ announced he. “I’ve started producing Norma’s ^pictures and of course I realize that I’m not so awfully experienced. Now. what I want to know la this: Won’t you let her work over In your studio and get the benefit of your advice? If you do I’ll give you 25 per cent of the receipts of her pictures." I hesitated for a moment and then I told him I didn’t see rrry way clear to any such arrangement. I was too busy, I explained, to give her the at tention meriting any such returns. Nowadays In looking down the long road over which I have come I often pause at thia point. Kor I realize today that had I acoepted this offer I should hpve made enough to bal ance many costly experiments. The realization of my blunder came to me not long afterward when -I wa<) dining with Schenck at his home. After dinner we sat talking together In the living room, nnd It must have been almost midnight when the door was flung open nnd Miss Talmadge stood before ns. Her eyes were shin Ing with excitement; the chocks above the full collar of her gorgeous eve ning wrap were the color of a Jacqueminot rose. Never In all tny life have I seen a more vivid np parltlon of beautiful, victorious youth. There was only a second for me to record that Impression, for Miss Talmndgn Just hesitated there on the threshold, and then with a tumultuous gesture she threw herself Into- her husband’s arms. "Oh, IJaddy,” she cried, clinging 1 rt him and looking up into his eyes.V’I cv-ald hardly wait until I got home to tell, you! They nil said I drew bigger crowds than Clara Kimball Voting. Think of it! <ih; Isn’t It Just too wonderful! I’m the happiest girl In the world.” I had heard from Joe previously that his wife was making Personal appearances that evening at the l,orw theaters; but 1 was certainly ns un prepared for the result as was the heroine of the Incident herself. Kor In those days the beautiful Clara Kimball Young was one of the nioet popular women on the screen, and the announcement that she whs going to make s personal appearance at any New York theater was almost equiva lent to calling out ths police reserve*. But, struck as I was by the pro fessional significance of her speech, I was even more impressed by its personal bearing. It w as so .evident MisA Talmaagc's eagerness to share nn.V triumph with her husband—she was so exactly like a child returning to Its home with the 10 gilt stars won freni her recitations In geography or history—that all later memories of her are overshadowed by this one touch ing'revelution of the real Norma Tal madge. To understand the woman whose glowing attitudes have so enriched screen art you must think of iter, not as a single figure, but as part of a pattern. True, her career is the most brilliant thread in this tapestry, but it is dependent for its brilliance and effect upon the somewhat less glit tering but equally firm threads of its 'background and Intermingling figures. This inrludes not only Miss Taimadge’s husband, but her mot her and two sisters. They would appear as a unit in any Held of endeavor, but, ns'"it happens, pictures have supplied the hand weaving them into iheir fixed and arresting design. As a very young child, so Schenck ills told me, Norma displayed her ■listrlonic gifts. The talent was promptly encouraged by her mother, and it was undoubtedly duo to Mrs. Talmadge's influence that her eldest daughter entered the employ of the old Vitagraph company. Unlike many others whose names have added lustre to the screen, Miss Talmndge was never an extra performer. At the very first she was given a small part. Yet at this time she was a girl in her early teens. Young as she was, however, she contrived to have a" sister even younger. This sister. Constance, used to come to the studio with her almost every day and, wide eyed over the importance of her more mature relative, would fasten Norma's frock and help Iter put on her make up. At lust this i4irper of self-efface ment was rewarded by a chance for more individual enterprise. Con stance became an extra in the Vita graph studies. On tbo part nf neither Norma nor Constance is there any effort to suppress these humble days from the stranger's consciousness. Quite the contrary. Once they were dining at the Kitz with a friend of mine who has decidedly less command of this world's resources than have the Tal tnadge girls. "Oh, how wonderful!” exclaimed this friend. "Think of Itelng able to order like you. Norma—without ever looking at the expense side of the menu!" Miss Talmadge laughed merrily. "Well,” she retorted. “It hasn't al ways been like this, has It, Constance? Remember (fie old Vltagraph days when wo always had to eat inside a quarter? It wasn’t a question with us of soup to nuts, but of soup or nuts." I happened to he at a dance several years ‘ ago which was attended bv both sisters. _Norrra Talmadge took that evening only several turns about th? room. Constance, on the other hand, danced every number. I my self was lucky enough to benefit by this protracted exercise and as I did so I caught over Constance's shoul der the eyes of Norma following her sister's figure through the ebb and flow of dancers. The quality of that glance will always linger with me Why, Indeed, should it not? For here she was—young, beautiful, an Idol of the screen—and she was surveying thin Sister only a few years younger j with the fond, admiring glance which ! soma dowager might bestow on one of the younger generation. My interest was so piqued hy this matter of the self appointed wallflow er that I asked a close friend of the Talmadges if this were a habitual attitude of Norma's. "Oh. dear, yes!" replied she. "Norma's always like that. Very seldom do you find her dancing more than several times an evening. What rhe just loves is to thlpk of Con stance as the belle of the liall,” "And how about Natalie?" I asked. "Indeed, yes. Norma and Con stance are as devoted to her as they are to each other, and they all *hree unite In worshipping their mother. “A close corporation.” I com mented. "Vet Ruster Keaton and Joe Schenck seem to come In for almost as high dividends as the original stock holders." “Of course," ass«nted my Informer, "a Talmadge-ln law is ail right so lone- as he Is also an In picture For you've got to remember that pictures are the leading Interest of the whole family. In fact. I think that was largely the trouble between Constance and her husband. ]{? was not only outside the profession, hut I under stand thnt he ohlected to Constance going on with her work on the screen.” (Continued In Th* Morning1 Be*) K.

Should Girl Hide Her Love? The man I love Is always complain ing of my indifference. We quarrel continually over my being so reserved with him, over my being so friendly to other people, and over all sorts of things like that. X care tremendously for him, hut I am afraid to show him how much I love him. I have been engaged before, and pretty near it several times, but I al ways lost my hold on the man in the case by letting him be.too sure of me. Now, I am 27 and really and truly in Jove for the first time in my life. My hoy friend is dissatisfied. lie does not question my love, but claims that he worries over it all the time. Don’t you think this is just as well, and that I can he sure of him just by keeping him so uncertain of me? KATHRYN. Was It love, or possession, you were exhibiting when you defeated yourself before? Nothing is more annoying to any one's independence than the selfish possessive attitude which women sometimes mistake for a revelation of their devotion. You may have demanded all a man's time and thought. You may have interfered with Ids work, his ambition, his sense of freedom and his desire to have little time for quiet and the solitude we nil meed. You may have gushed—and nothing is more rapellant to a man of fine feel ings. You may have Insisted on express ing your so-called love in public en dearments and sly glances and the use of nicknames. Perhaps you used to think the best way to prove your attractiveness and popularity was to flaunt your conquest. All this Is very likely to be what you and other girls call “showing your love.” But it Is only showing it off. Now the real love has come to you, you must have too much reverence for it to belittle it, too much loyalty to it to cheapen it, and too much faith in It to think that you need stoop to coquetry to hold it. Honest loyalty won't bore a fine man. Thoughtfulness and gracious sweetness won’t send him out looking for new worlds to conquer. Love has the need of feeling sure of certain things. It requires re sponse, sympathy, understanding, de votion and loyalty. Graduate: \vhlte is usually worn for graduation exercises In June. In midwinter any light color, suitable for evening wear, would bs appro priate. I would suggest something that would serve as a party dress for the rest of the winter and through next summer. The blue , crepe you mention ought to be very petty. In stead of blue slippers, I would sug gest silver. Evening slippers are al most altogether gold or silver, or brocade. I think white w'ould be a better choice than blue,' for you could wear white with your summer'clothes. Yank Amendment Carries. St. Eouis, Feb. 27.—The result of yesterday's state wide election on 21 proposed amendments to the »state constitution today remained still in the balance, principally due to the fact that only returns from a small part of the rural precincts were avail able. Amendment No. 4, providing $4,500,. 000 for Missouri's ex service men who did not receive their bonus from the first issue of $15,000,000 two years ago appears to be the only amend ment that has met with favor in both the rural and city precincts.

Edwin alighted from the car and helped me down. As I adjusted my hat and shook my coat aa free of wrinkles as I could, he s|toke in a tone which he meant to make off hand, hut in which I recognized a stressful note. "Why don't you take the children in with you? It will give them a chance to stretch their legs, and I'll move over in the driver’s seat so the car will lie perfectly safe.” He smiled as if the words were the Jhst pthey appeared, but I caught his meaning .at once. If the children went with me, and he took the seat he had indicated, passorsby would see only a, well-dressed middle-aged cou ple in a car, instead of a maelilnc full of children, for whom by now an organized search miglj| be in prog ress. That he was trying to spare Harriet the worry of such a surmise was patent, but I felt my own spirits chill at this evidence of his anxiety. With our successful eluding of the pursuing car when we had fled through the fog to Ulverhead, I had shed my owm fears and this glimpse of . my practical brother-in-law’s thought processes daunted me. But I preserved the "poker face.” upon the possession of which Dicky sometimes teases me, and replied brightly, "That’s a splendid Idea. IIow about the children? Would you like to come inside with me?” Mm homes* Only lark of f aint. Them was nn unanimous chorus of glad and excited assent, and With a thankful glance at the street, bare just then of either pedestrians or vehicles. I foolc Roderick by the hand, and with the other, children chatter ing excitedly In my wake, I started toward the house which Lillian had described to me. ‘‘You’ll say' 'The Night Before Christmas’ all the way up to It," jihe had prophesied, and Indeed I was strongly reminded of the Illustration of the famous old poem as I saw Its towers, Its long windows and its verandas. Bebore I had stopped the car I had observed that It was the shabbiest house along the road, all the others giving evidence of subur hffn prosperity. But as I sent search ing glances around me I saw that the shabblness was only a lack of paint. Everything about the place was clean and tidy and the grounds showed the evidence of care. It was the most unattractive time of the year, with the trees denuded of leaves, and as we approached the house, and saw how profusely It was covered with honeysuckle vines, climbing roses and clinging Ivies, I saw that In the sea son of bud and blossom tt must be St rarely beautiful old place. Lillian had told me that the name of the woman to whom she was sending me was Mrs. Bird, and with a smile at the remembrance of In congruous names I had experienced. I visualized my prospective hostess as a tall stout woman, telling myself thilt -an ostrich is as much a bird as a , sparrow. But when, in answer to my ring, the front door opened, and 1 found myself looking down upon a mite of a woman, bronzed of skin from wind and sun, brown-haired, and possess ed of brown eyes ns bright and keen as those of her namesakes, I was so nonplused that f»r a second t for got Lillian's message, nnd stammered out a request for board and lhdging for a few days. The brown eyes narrowed a trifle. "Who sent you to me?” she asked, courteously enough, but the infer enee was plain that she took no strangers without references, and indeed, there was no sign about the plaee that It was other than a sub urban home. ' The letter Works Magic. For reply. 1 opened my bag and I silently handed her Lillian's note. I saw her face change as she looked at the ehirography, and with a wel coming gesture she t.hrew the.door wide open. "Come in and sit down while I read this," she said hospitably. "Come, children." She ushered us into a hall which ran through the. middle of the house with rooms upon either side open ing from’ it. Into one of these, a room at the extreme back, she led us and saw that we all had comfort able seats before she opened Lilli an's note., "This is my own sitting room," she explained, as she settled herself in a chair opposite me. "You will pardon me.”/ I nodded a smiling, perfunctory assent, - and she tore open Lillian's note, read It through twice, then looked at me thoughtfully. "This may be risky business,” she said, "but I'll ilo anything for Mrs. ITndePU’Ood. Where are tho rest of your party of whom she. speaks?" “In a car at the gate." I answered. "There's a garage in the rear, open, and with spare at the right for a car. You’d better get your car and your people in and out of sight a* soon as possible.

As a matter of fact, he was full of pride. It is so seldom that Peter ever fights that most peiqdo think he ran't fight. Peter knew that Robber the Rat would never come back there again while he was there. He knew that Robber was a reward, for Robber hadn't even tried to fight. It wasn't any great thing to whip a coward. Still, Peter felt quite set up over It. It made him feel as If he would dare do almost anything. Probably ( this is why he did the thing he did do that very morning.

That gate was open a crack, It was a chance to get away. Peter hesitated just a minute. He looked at Bowser the Hound. Bowser was busy scratching an ear. “Never take a chance, never get anything,” said Peter to himself, and, darting be tween Farmer Brown’s Boy’s legs, pushed the gate open, almost bump ed Into Bowser the Hound, and away he went, lipperty-lipperty-lip, straight for the door opening into the barn yard, which had also been left open a crack. By the time Farmer Brawn's Bov h'ol recovered from his surprise and Bowser the Hound had realized what that gray, streak that had passed him was Peter was out side.
