Colleen Moore, leading woman in the Rupert Hughes ' picture. "The Wall Flower," just released, is con vinced ihat the gdius flapper (com mon especially to .the United States) has been the object of much unde served criticism: Miss Moore is so earnest in her championship of. the species that she is willing to admit a close relationship. Almost defiantly , she proclaims: "I'm a flapper myself." At least she is of flapper age 21 and is therefore, she claims, in a fair position to understand her sub ject. V "Trying to .Grow." "A flapper," Colleen pronounces with an air of wisdom, "is a little girl trying to grow up. . "She wears flapper clothes because' she thinks them rather smart and naughty. !She is a good little girl who wants to be thought a bad one not be cause she acts badly, but because she looks it. "Little Miss Flapper is really old fashionedbut in. her efforts not to let anyone discover it, she 'flaps' in the most modern and approved man. ner. , - "Left to her own devices she would dance and flirt just as girls have always done but she wouldn't wear her skirts quite so short. NEW SHOW TODAY The Cheeriest Picture of the Year. You'll Leave the Theater With a Smile. all's law and oil's Featuring Jack Livingston and Ethel Shannon The humorous story of a direct-by-mail courtship by proxy which sorely perplexed a dashing officer of the Northwest Mounted and a romantic young maid. . 1 m I-' "1 , r 1 4 't' J Entered Movies to Learn Hubby's Work It takes real personality to stand out in a small part in a targe pro ductiona feature ' such as, for in stance, "The Tale of Two Cities," which starrtd' William Farnum. But such was the power of Florence Vidor's charm that, once given a chance, it immediately focussed at tention. At the time Florence was but an extra William Farnum recognized in her face the sweet and tragic ap peal that was needed for the role of the seamstress. So small a part was it, that it had no place on the program, but so large Florence made it, that everyone demanded to know who that girl was in "The Tale of Two Cities" who tore their heart out when, on the way to fhe guillo tine,',' frightened yet trying to be brave, she asked the hero to kiss her. Then all sorts of interesting things were learned about Florence Vidor. For instance, she Was not so much interested in being a star herself, as she was in being Mrs. King Vidor. She was a screen actress .because she wanted to understand her hus band's work to understand his prob lems and be a true companion to him. Rather than stardom in her own right, she preferred after that, to de vote most or her time to her home and, her young daughter; and only occasionally play leading parts . in her husband's productions, such as "The Honor the Family," "The Jack Knife Man" and others." Then Thomas Ince borrowed her for "Lying Lips" and "Beau Revel," and now she has b,een captured by Asso ciated Exhibitors to be starred in a series of dramatic features particu larly suited to her personality. Her first is "Woman, Wake Up!! which is the chief cinema attraction at the World this week.' It is that most delicious of all types of story a satirical comedy-drama. It pro vides Miss Vidor -with a role that requires subtlety and . i sense of humor. . - i In "A Blind Bargain," the film Version by Goldwyn of Barry Pain's novel, "The Octave of Claudius," Lon Chaney has a dual rble. He plays the parts of a doctor and his hunch back servant. The double exposure photography in this picture is said to he remarkably skillful. ' "She likes- her freedom and she likes to be a bit daring and snap her well-manicured fingers in the face of the world but fundamentally she is the same sort of girl that her grand mother was. Imitates Others. "The- great difference is, she Js more ambitious and she has metre things to wisb for. ' "She demands more of men," be cause she knows more about their work. , "If she enters the social arena earlier that only means tht she will marry earlier or choose a career for herself sooner. "She uses lip stick, rouge and pow der in imitation of the older women she knows. , "Her look of sophistication only; means that it is considered good form in her set to appear a trifle bored. "She knows more of life than her mother did at her age because she sees more of it. "Sometimes she carries her 'flap ping' to extremes in order to shock her critics. "She knows what she wants and' knows what she is doing all the time and she meets life with a smile and a hopeful, eager expression. "The flapper has charm, good looks, good clothes, intellect and a keen healthy viewpoint.", , , COOLED " BY TYPHOONS THE SUNDAY BEE: 'OMAHA. JULY 23. 1922.

"Every war in history has'bcvn fol lowed by an epidemic of good fic tion," he adds, Supply Soon Gone. ' But not alone on the war are we going to be dependent for screen ma terial in the future," he continues. "The" fate of the motion fkture is in the hands of the young author of to day. He will be the screen writer of the morrow. Of .course, there are scores of standard fiction works which can be utilised for the screen, but the supply, will soon be ex hausted. Furthermore, the tastes of the peo ple change, and what 10 years ago was a best seller, today is of no con sequence so far as dramatization for screen purposes is concerened." "Young authors who are absorb ing atmosphere in huge quantities nowadays are fitting themselves for screen writing unconsciously." Mr. King goes on to say, "What the pub lic wants is six reels or more of an episode which could happen in their own lives. The motion picture in dustry is no different than any other. You can't foist bad plays on a. dis cerning , public any more than you can palm off an unbecoming hat on a customer in a millinery shop. In other words, thepublic is "wise to you." They're from Missouri. You've got to produce the goods, all wool and a yard wide." Noted Athlete in Moyies. David Imboden, formerly famous as a swimmer and all-around athlete, .has decided on a motion picture ca reer. Rupert Hughes has given him an important part in "Gimme," his next production. .Imboden was captain and maiager of the swimming teams at Cornell and Wisconsin universities in 1909 and 1910. Before that he had held every interscholastic swimming rec ord. In 1906 he was (he world's champion underwater swimmtr. He also excelled in other sports, havincr heen on the Wisconsin basket .ba,H indoor baseball and hockey teams. Imboden has been an artist and theatrical art director, but this will be his first motion picture exper ience. . Anna Q. Nilsson Winning Honors Born in Ystad, Sweden, Anna Q.
