THE BEE: OMAHA. SUNDAY, APRIL 3. 1921.
Enter the Cynic,
Dark and Debonair,
Into Love's Abode
Thsrs r III different kinds of mn,
has a different appeal to women. Boms
men don-t know how to be successful with
the (air onee. Careful rtadlnf of Miss
Olaum's "hints" appaaiine in ihe Sunday
Be may help the male of is tptclas to
ft "hep" to hlmeelf. Mls Olaum today
tills what eh discovered about No. 1
"The Cyulc."
.The evnie ii fascinating.
He has captured many women and
never will cease to attract them be
cause they cannot understand ilini
completely and the rule that a wom
an is interesting to a man just as long
as she can make him feci he still has
a lot to learn about her goes with
the man, too. The cynic is the usu
ally moustached debonair man. who
has "lived."
This he will tell you with a stlf
confidence that is unshakable. In
arguing with him, if you are success
ful enough to get him in a tight cor
ner, he will exticate himself by mur
muring deprecatorily: "Well, my
dear, (that is hardly worth arguing
abcpit. You really would not under
stand." Mis attitude is that of a man
of the world. He "gets over" to wom
en the impression that he knows and
that to know she must learn from
him !
The cynic is casual and careless
about his conquest, so it seems from
observation. When a woman feels a
man is devoting his whole life to her
perhaps she feels at times the victory
is too easy. The cynic is "unattain
able" -or so he likes to let women
think. He "doesn't care much about
women they bore him," he says and,
of course, he is immediately besieged
by a thousand females determined
to scale that wall of indifference.
He is a decent chap at heart, this
cynic, and a clever one he has
worked out a system, merely, that is
99 per cent perfect. His equal and
superior for if woman is considered
on an equal basis with man she be
comes his superior n'est ce pas? is
the woman who affects the same pose
with this type of man, for invariably
his armor in the game of love is the
weaker.
It is woman's privilege and. usu
ally her triumph with the man of this
type to rob him of his cynicism
through the lesson of love.
Douglas Fairbanks and Mary
Pickford endowed two beds in the
Children's hospital of Los Angeles
after Douglas visited the institution
and was touched by the sight of the
pathetic little inmates.
He Exploits All That
Is Paramount On Screen
Verile exploitation of motion pic
tures that actually .deserve public
credit is the way R. C. Gary, pub
licity director of Paramount pictures
in Omaha, jumps into his work.
Cartoonist, publicity man, pro
moter and theatrical man is his job,
all in one.
When R. C. views a picture at pri
vate screenings he picks out in his
own artistic manner those little ex
ploitation points that he knows will
appeal to the public. . lit is a pro
moter in that respeci.
Years of experience in newspaper
work in New York City, Boston and
other eastern cities have given him
innate qualifications for his work.
At a Cartoonist.
Some of Gary's cartoons for the
New York Mail were acclaimed as
masterpieces.
Upon entering publicity work for
Paramount Mr. Gary was first as
signed to Atlanta, Ga. He heard of
Omaha. He beckoned to the call of
friends here and lost no time finding
the trial that led to this city.
His presence in Omaha was soon
felt. .
A Pinch Hitter.
Movie fans remember the appeal
ing exploitation on "Something to
Think About" and "Forbidden
Fruit," which played at the Strand
Elliott Dexter Back
Admirers of Elliott Dexter, the
young screen player who scored such
successes in Cecil B. DeMille pic
tures like "Old Wives for New" and
"For Better, For Worse" and was
about to be starred when he was
stricken with a serious illness, will be
glad to learn that Dr. Dexter has
now recovered and has resumed his
motion picture work after nearly a
year's absence. Mr. Dexter has one
of the leading parts in the Muse pro
duction, "Behold My Wife," which
will be seen at the Muse theater to
morrow and Tuesday.

theater. Coupled with the initiative
of Harry Watts, manager of the thea
ter, Mr. Gary employed original ideas
to the exploitation of the pictures.
In the vernacular of movie men,
Gary is "the man of the hour." He's
the pinch hitter that assists the ex
hibitor in putting across a picture de
serving of public credit. -
"Passion' Strikes
Eye of America 8
Foremost Actor
It has been with some reluctance
that exceptionally talented artists of
the stage have been won over to
participating in screen plays.
In fact, in some cases prominent
stage actors have uttered adverse
criticism against movies.
In the presentation of "Passion"
in America Otis Skinner, this coun
try's foremost actor, has vouchsafed
the following letter concerning the
play to Frank Woods, manager of
the Princess theater, Sioux City, la.,
where "Passion was shown t last
week:
March SI, 1131.
My Dear Mr. TVood:
Today at the Princess theater I had an
afternoon of truly unuiual pleasure, and
o atrongly doea the memory of It linger
with m that 1 am impelled to tell you
how vitally the current photo-play, "Pas
sion" naa rrgtaierea upon me.
Without doubt, 'Tasaion" ia the boat
expreeaed and most eloquently acted pic
ture play In ita ensemble, mountings and
direction in the range of film endeavor.
Never once la a fal.se note struck from tli
picturesque opening through the tremen
dous action of the French revolutionary
background to the tragic scene at the
guillotine that closes the play.
Nothing that I know bo perfectly shows
forth the colorful events of history 'n real
action as does this filmed story. Charac
ters that have hitherto been shadow
conjured out of the past In our Imagina
tion become the realeat of human bsinua
as the various epJsodes are unfolded.
Thanking you for a memorable aft
ernoon, I am,
Moat truly yours,
(Signed) OTIS SKINNER.
Pola Negri, the famous Polish ac
tress, is featured in "Passion," which
plays all this week at the Strand
theater.
Michael Kustoff, a staff captain in
the Russian Imperial army before the
overthrow of the czar, is proving a
valuable aid to Director Sam Wood
in the 'preparation, staging and cos
tuming ' of Russian ball scenes in
"The Great Moment," Gloria Swan-
son's current starring picture.
Sweetly and Soulfully She Thrummed Soft
Notes As He Peered Longingly Into Her Eyes
Though all the world crush a man to the dust, a woman's love can
ave him still, 'tis said. - ,
So it was that he inner voice, a thundering song of love of wrong ana
of love triumphant played strongly upon the soul of Mark Reid in "The
Inner Voice," which opens today at the Moon theater.
Pretty Agnes Ayres plays the sympathetic role of Barbara the soul
that stirred Mark Reid to salvation and success in the world.

Reginald Barker, who is dTrecting
the production ot "Runty Pulls the
Strings" for the Goldwyn company,
made a strange stipulation while se
lecting the 1,200 extras who were
used in the picture. Only applicants
who hart names like Duncan, Lind
say, Douglass, Ckineron or begin
ning with a "Mc" were .allowed to
pass the portals of the studio. Of
course, Mr. Barker conceded, a per
son might have fc name suggestive
of the land of heather and not he
Scotch at all. but the chances were in
favor of getting men and women who
could fit into the pictures better, if
he insisted on good old Scotch
names.
An entire village was built on the
studio grounds at Culver Citv for
"Bunty Pulls the Strings" and the
quaint houses 'and crooked lanes,
correct in evcrv detail, cost a small
fortune.
