MENTAL PICTURE .
OF VIOLET HEMING
IN 'EVERYWOMAN'
Brilliant Star Picked' for Film
Masterpiece Because of
Womanliness.'
Think of an English countryside,
long before the rack of war wrought
upon the smiling face of the land the
ineradicable furrows of 'sorrow and
bitter memory, figuratively at least;
think of hedgerows, surrounding
little fields of .cojn, woods of a deli
cate green,tmy inns with creaking
. signs, half hidden in mossy verdure;
thatched cottages over all the smil
ing skies and the sunshine of June
Think, I say, of these things; think
of the .England of Washington Irv
ing of Bracebridge hall, for exam
ple then imagine a young girk
flower-like in her beauty; ethereal in
her simpls dress of lawn;, her ?.rms
laden' with dogroses coming Jown
a winding pathway from some old
manor, pausing anon to add some
other blossom to her armful of fra
grant booty ( ,
Envision her face, fair as a
flower, indeed, the smile that daz
fcles because of the pearly white
ness of the teeth between lips' red
as the heart of a crimson rose;
glimpse the sheen upon the brown
gold hair as the sunlight dwells
lovingly in the curling tresses; catch
that light that dances in eyes, sea
blue, eyes that smile a welcome
note the patrician contour and deli
cate moulding of face and featute
And you have a mental picture of
Violet Heming. t
For the Title Role.
"When not long ago the producers
of "Everywoman" for the screen,
a Paramount-Artcraft picture of spe
cial interest and charm, directed by
George Melford, sought for someone
to interpret, the title role, they real
ized that whosoever they selected
must have that appeal of womanli
ness which Robert Louis Stevenson
said was the chiefest charm in
woman. "
They realized also "that she mnst
possess the ability to act beyond
the average; that .she must possess
, a universality 6f characteristics,
' must be, in brief, "Everywoman"
And they found all that was re
quired in Violet Heming.
Experience in both stage and
screen work is of course an essen
tial to the portrayal of a role of
such high importance as this. This
txperieuce. Miss Heming possessed,
for she began her stage career' at
an early age, so that now, a mere
girl, '.retaining all the freshness,
charm and bloom of early youth,
she couples therewith a rare knowl
edge of dramatics and a poise that
can be gained only by familiarity
with the art to: which she has dedi
cated her Efforts. r
"I loved the role from the very
first," she declared, "except for one
brief time ' before I began Work,
, when the thought came to me that
'Everywoniau' after a time becomes
coarsened and betrays the bitter
fruits of unwisdom in her contact
with life. But when I read the
script I noted the modifications
which avoided the most unlovely

of these features and gave me a
wonderful opportunity to 'plant'
one might say the real and idyllic
qualities of the character indelibly
in the hearts and minds of the spec
tators. Then I was satisfied. -.
"It is a beautiful thought sym
bolisrit in the . nth degree this
play; it is far better adapted to the
screen, I believe, than to the stage,
for" it neeejs room life can scarcely
be limited to the three walls of the
stage and this is a picture of life
its emotions, pitfalls, love, sorrows,
and triumphs. But the scree'ii is tin-,
limited, though some may consider
this statement paradoxical. True
the lens covers only a given breath
of space, but it is never fixed and
there is a dimension, a depth which
is unlimited.
"With a wonderful cast, beautiful
scenic backgrounds, splendid direc
tion, every facility which the vast re
sources of the Famous Players
Lasky corporation afford, is it any
wonder that 'Everywoman' is as I
firmly believe, a classic production?"
New Zealand plans to spend about
$2,500,000 in the development of its
water power resources.
A great banquet hall; the wide
stretch of the feasting tables form-
ing a huge dollar mark; a mirror
like pool in one circle of the S; a
dance floor in the other circle.

girls in costumes that dazzle; con
fetti and Colored streamers flying
about; revelry at its height New
Year's evel
A relic of a bygone day, you say?
Perhaps. But Omaha may join this
banquet of wealth if it will. But
alas, you must join as a silent guest,
neither drinking nor dancing nor
feasting; just a looker-on; thirsty
perhaps, but still enjoying the scene
This lavish New Year eve celebra
tion is part of the massive produc
tion, "Everywoman," which will be
the big attraction in Omaha at the
Kialto theater.
The scene is cart of the storv of
'"Everywoman" and her quest for
love. She is the toast of the party
the guest of wealth. The banquet
scene is said to be the most luxuri
ous thing of the kind ever screened.
George Melford, director for Para
mount Artcraft, went to the extreme
of realism. Yet not even he will say
that it is real wine that flows like
the Miami in this part of the picture.
For the actors' sake let's hope it
wasn't.
In Norway a drydock has beeri
built in such a location in reference
to a canal that it can be filled wit'
water and emptied by gravity with
out the use of pumps.
