THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER 9. 1917.
'Acting Before
Camera is Not
One Sweet Song
Perhaps you think the life of
motion picture actress is an easy
one. And in some instances you are
correct in your surmise. But Miss
v June Caprice, the young William Fox
star, docs not take her acting as play.
She works at it
In one scene of "Unknown 274,"
' showing at the Sun for three days,
starting Thursday, Miss Caprice is
called on to sob She did it so re
alistically , that the was crying for
some time after the scene had been
taken. Ut course, there are many
happy moments in making a pic
ture but it's not all "one sweet song."
all the time. .
When the director at the studio
finishes for the day, Miss Caprice
goes to her home and re-enacts the
scenes carefully and also enacts the
scenes she knows she will be called
upon to do the following day She
then has a perfect understanding of
what the director requires and not
only saves him time and trouble but
also adds her own personal ideas to
'he scenes.
"Acting before the camera," de
clares the Sunshine Maid, "is like any
other work. You must be prepared.
You must study. In that way only
can you widen your show of emo
tions. In every story there are
shades of differences in emotions to
be shown. Unless you practice these
yon may get both the same and the
motion picture fans are quick to, dis
cern these points, and even if they
didn't the story would not be as well
told."
Sometimes, too, Miss 'Caprice Is
called upon to get up long before the
sun has peeped over the horizon and
there are night scenes to be done..
In the plays there are hard knocks to
be taken and roughhandling requir
ed. Perhaps you think these are all
done, with smiling hearts. But they
are not, '

Simplicity may have its virtues, but
Norma Talmadge has not discovered
them.
'TV'hy, it would be ridiculous for
rae to pretend to love gingham frocks
and a quiet little home in the coun
try," exclaimed Miss Talmadge. "Yes,
I know lots of women on the staee
and screen rush, into print with rhap
sodies on dress retorm and rural
so'itude. but I'm Suite sure I never
i will -
' Would I give up my luxurious
Rolls-Royce and ride fn the subway
or crowded surface cars through
choice? I certainly would not. And
I don't believe any df these grand
opera stars or leading ladies who
clamor so loudly for simplicity would
either. Ihey are not quite sincere it
seems to me or they, could readily
adopt the plajner mode-of living for
which they say they crave.
"There is the matter of my ward
robe, too. But every time I plan a
new frock I remember that I am giv
ing work to a number of girls who
would lose their means of earning a
livelihood if women of the stage and
society did not buy elaborate clothes.
Now that the country is at war it is
especially necessary that we spend
our money freely, though not, of
course, recklessly. Dressmakers and
milliners must earn their livings just
as well as movie stars or government
officials and how can they if the en
tire feminine population goes in for
nunlike garb and severe headgear?
"Yes, it's luxury. But at least yoii
must give me credit for admitting it
nr tevinnr to make you believe
I have simple tastes."
Miss iaimadge's latest picture is
"The Moth," adapted from the novel
br William Dana Orcutt. and will be
shown at the Empress the first half
of the week, and starting Thursday
at the Muse for the balance of the
week.
Have you been concerned over tha rumor
that Alios Joyce and Tom Moore were get
ting a divorce? Then calm your fears at
once for there Is not a.' speck of truth in it.
So aays the lady In question.
