tion, as ' part of the policy of the

pointed head. A campaign ifor the
furtherance of "visual education"

How Come Charlie
Likes Li'l Sweet
Dimpled Girlies?
There is no doubt of it, Charles
Ray prefers the petite type of actress
in his pictures.
"Sunshine Mary" Anderson, who
has just finished her part in Ray's
"Two Minutes to Go," is ,4 feet, 11
inches, and weights 105 pounds.
Vera Stcdman, who had the prin
cipal feminine role in Charlie's
"Scrap Iron," is 5 feet, 2 inches, and
weighs 118 pounds.
Dorothy deVore, who played . the
rale of Mary in the Ray photoplay
version of "Forty-Five Minutes from
Broadway," is just S feet, 2 inches
and weighs 115 pounds. !
Anna May, who was seen with
Mr. Ray in "Peaceful Valley," is 5
feet, 2 1-2 inches and weighs 103
pounds.
Marjorie Provost and Laura La
Plante, who had the chief feminine
roles in "The Old Swimmin' Hole"
with Charlies,, also are of the "cozy
armful" type.
Little Clara Horton, who only
yesterday was a child actress with
Eclair, is only 17 and won't be a
great big girl for many years to
come.
Charlotte Pierce, who is now
working with Mr. Ray in his latest
picture, "Gas, Oil and Water," also
is a "diminutive darling." Miss
Pierce, wiseacres say, is headed for
stardom. She will soon be seen in
"The Barnstormer," a Ray produc
tion recently finished for; First Na
tional release. ., ; .', ..if

New Decorations
For Muse Theater;
Reopens Today
After havinjr been closed for a
period of four weeks, the Muse thea
ter reopens today practically a new
theater. Ever since the closing date
a crew of men have been busily en
gaged in remodeling and redecorat
ing. The interior of the theater is
decorated in old rose, blue and gold,
and set in the panels of the side
walls are eight hand-painted land
scapes. Very elaborate silk stage
drapes are an addition of note. The
interior lobby, which was formerly
covered with carpet, is now laid in
a beautiful design of tile. The ex
terior lobby has been redecorated
and arranged so as to set in two
full length mirrors. One of the
greatest improvements is the latest
improved picture screen and also
the last word in modern picture ma
chines. Both of these combinations
will give the Muse theater picture
projection unequaled in any theater
in the country.
Manager Prosser of the Muse
theater held an informal opening
yesterday.
Heretofore the Muse theater gave
matinees , daily, but the policy, be
ginning with the reopening today,
will be matlnes on Saturday and
Sunday only, with performances ev
ery evening.
The opening attractions will be
Norma Talmadge in ."The Moth,"
today onlv; Monday and Tuesday,
"What's Worth While?" Wednes
day and Thursday, Wallace Reid in
"The Love Special;" Friday and
Saturday. Douglas McLean in
"Home Stretch."
Wrell Equipped.
At a lad, Richard Dix, actor, says
he aspired to be a mechanic, a
soldier, an architect and an elec
trical engineer, and that he's glad be
dabbled in all of these studies, be
cause now he knows almost as much
as a motion picture director.
"Raise Large Family' Says
Frederick Warde, Actor
Frederick Warde, the famous ac
tor, has just celebrated his golden
wedding annivJrsary.
Mr. and Mrs. Warde, after nearly
half a centur of "irouping" from
town to town ad from state to state
with leading theatrical , productions,
settled down to make their home in
Los Angeles. He will divide his time
between The Mission Play and Pic
tures. He is now playing Omar iu
Ferdinand Earle's scieen production
of "The . Rubaiyat of Omar Khay
yam," soon to be shown in Omaha.
Four children and seven grand
children are monuments to their ex
tended term of domestic felicity, and
scores of telegrams and letters of
congratulation poured in from all
farts of the world. .
Tells How.
Mr. Ward tells here how to be
happy and married, whether cm stage
screen or in the ordinary walks of
life:
Flit away your loYemaklng to other
women when you take off your makeup at
nlirht.
Remember your wife ! your most ar
dent admirer. Don't be misled by violet
scented love notes from "flapper."
Raise a large family, for children form
the tie that really binds.
Forget there is such a thins as "tem
perament." Remember your wife's nerves
may oe just as unstrung from a day or
cooking, sewing or dressmaking as are
yours from a day of strenuous rehearsing.
Don't let success swell your head, and
make you think your wife is a back num
ber. Variety may be the spice of life, but
remember that many an excellent dish
has been spoiled by being too spicy.
Dont be an ardent swain on the stage
and a carping husband at borne. Keep'
your wife ever your sweetheart, and yon
will always be a lever in her eyes.
Share your Joys and sorrows alike with
your wife. Make ber feel she is really
your life partner. . .
. Stage Romance.
The Warde romance began in 1871
in Manchester, Eng., when Freder
ick Warde, as Romeo in Charles
Calvertl production of the famous
Shakespearean drama at the Prince's
theater, captivated the heart of the
little Manchester miss, who also
played in the company. The way Mr.
Warde made love to Adelaide Neil
sen, as Juliet, won the affections of
the little girl who was later to be
come Mrs. Warde. .
"I guess you might call me 'Nat
Goodwin with the reverse English,'
Mr. Warde remarked today. About
the only other pair of professionals
who have weathered life's storms in
happiness and content as long as the
wife and . I have are Mr. and Mrs.
William Crane. Billy and Mrs.
Crane celebrated their golden wed
ding quietly at the Hollywood hotel
in November." '
Mr. Warde made the day memor
able by starting ; work as Omar
Khayyam in "The Rubaiyat," which
Ferdinand Earle is prodcuing. As a
compliment to Mrs. Warde, Camera
man George Benoit allowed her to
turn the crank for the first foot of
film.
