"The Winning Stroke," which treats of life at a great American university, appears to have re vived the old question of comDaratlve ail- vantage, as between the college man and the non-college man, in dramatic work on the stage or the screen. George Walsh, in his own person and in his screen prep aration, would seem to supply an argu ment in favor of college education for the film actor.

LOTHROP -fla- TODAY ' WALLACE REID IN "THE ROLLING ROAD" Floyd Comsdy. , Paths Nawa. By FRANK WOOD. LAST Sunday I told " you of Elsie Janis, of her war. work r in France and of her remark able movie venture under the Sclz nick banner.. This week I wish to tell .you of another elznick star, Elaine Hammerstein, niece of the late Oscar Hammerstein. I This re lationship has resulted to some ex tent in the fallacy tliat she is bound to be successful because a relative of Oscar Hammerstein. To the contrary, !ie is going to be successful in spite of it. For when one has an uncle as illus trious as the late New York the atrical magnate and producer, one's own personality and individuality are ofttimes lost sight of. Now Elaine is nothing if not individual She is not an actress, but an artist An actress is merly one who acts a part ' An artist fs one who live: the part so completely and visual izes the story so accurately that the audience lives the story also. Elaine is an, artist. Her sympathetic treat ment . of character portrayals and consummate skill in achieving nat uralness, added to her physical . beauty and delightful personality, a force the, issue of success.- You do not say, "I think she will make a , great star," but rather, "She is a great star. It only remains-for the American public to discover the fact." . v Over a year ago her extraordinary ability attracted attention, bnt it has remained for Selznick to pro vide her with,- vehicles in keeping with her talents. The first of these, "The Country Coifsin" is an adapt- ation of the storv of the same name ..by Booth Tarkingrton in collabora- . tion with Julien Street. For over four months, manuscripts by the hundreds were read, judged and cast aside until this story was se lected as the one logical vehicle for the presentation of the new sta. Still other months were consumed jn preparing the continuity, location work, and in selecting the costumes and proper settings. But at last the total footage had been run off, the last extra paid and released, the art titles and sub-titles "shot," the as sembling and cutting completed and the trial screening given before a ' score of noted critics and representatives-of the press. To quote a telegram sent in ""reference' to the production: T - " 'The Country Cousin screened this' morning before , noted critics.. Was dumb with astonishment. I ' knw Elaine Hammerstein was a star, but this production exceds even the most optimistic expectations." And now you folks who complain that nothing ever happens in the ' world had best sit up and rub your eyes. ' , , The Omaha Daily Bee Screen Magazine No. 32 ooens with a little i lesson in the gentle game of golf, t which builds uj the physique and' vocabulary, given by W. W. C. Skel ly. The American Museum of Natural History then gives us a lit tle lecture on the knives and forks of the animal kingdom. Mr. Ele- L phant's tooth sure is a picnic-ground ' for a toothache. Mr. Louis J. Brot ton, who, despite his 83 years, saws - wood for half the folks of Alameda, Cal., to protect his waning strengtli devised a windmill saw, and lets the gentle zephyrs do his work. Lil lian Russell gives a lesson on 'the " care of the hands; the United States bureau of chemistry gives us some very useful information on how to tell when eggs are tresn; our cnem ist gives us a glimpse of .the fasci nating but expensive pastime of burning diamonds, and a futurist movie' of Hon. Josephus Daniels completes this issue. It will be seen at the Sun. - "Clothes may not make the man,' says Mable Normand, "but they surely do make the wornan," The mischievous little funmaker had this proved to her again, and forcibly, the other day when Rear Admiral W. R. Shoemaker of the Pacific fleet brought his staff to visit the Goldwyn studios at Culver City. Mabel, all dressed up in raggedy baggedy clothes, was making fun for the camera man, all in her day's work. The dignified visitors forgot ' their dignity to laugh, wajching her every move. - Two nights later the navy, folk re turned the courtesies shown them by holding a ball for the studio folk of Goldwyn. Mable came in orchid chiffon, all foamy ruffles of lace a "regular" dress and Mable is a "regular" dancer, too, even if she does pretend to be "all feet in her new play, "Upstairs A handsome young captain demanded every other dance and fairly beamed his admiration of the charming star. 'How did it happen I didn't see you, the other day when we were over at your studio?" he demanded, and Mable giggled, remembering how he had watched her for two hours and laughed straight through that time. " "Orchid chiffon is -a good deal different from raggedy calico, isn't it?" giggled Mable, patting down her ruffles of lace. " , - . J X DIAMOND TODAY v Clara Kimball Young .
