Two Old Ladies
Who Have Made
Quite a Mark
Aa important role, each of them
an old woman's part, in two iu-
criiv Columbia Uoiverslty prite
t-lays, it tht annual distinction of
Louise Clour Hale, who will be
seen in the role of Grandma Belt
Brook Pemberton's production o
"Miss Lulu Belt," coming to the
Brandeii this week.
Mr. Hale it was who created the
oart of the carahyied old woman in
the wheel chair In Eugene O'Neil'a
grim drama, "Beyond the Horiton,"
which it will be remembered won the
$1,000 Pulitter prist of 1920, and
which, with Richard Bennett as the
featured player, achieved the greatest
artistic triumph ol the dramatic year.
In that production, next to Mr. Ben
nett's rendition of the disappointed
and disillusioned hero, Mrs. Hale's
portrait of tht invalid stood out the
most unforgettably la tht memory of
theatergoers, an impression never to
be forgotten, and in her present char
acterization of the cantankerous and
senile old crone of Zona Gale's
comedy of the middle west, she has
achieved an even more striking pic
ture of a woman who has tasted life
and has found it a bitter and unprofit
able dose.
Comparing the two roles in a re
cent interview, Mrs. Hale is quoted
as follows:
"I don't know which Is the best
finish for a woman whether it is
better for her to wind up her life,
weak in the upper story, or shaky in
the under-pinnings. In my part in
the O'Neil drama, I was keen as a
whip, mentally in fact it was posi
tively uncanny that sick woman's
perceptions as she sat there in her
wheel chair, year in and year out,
while as for Grandma Bctt Well,
Old Lady Bett, as we well know, will
keep moving about till the last trump.
We know that her bones are so brit
tle that they'd snap in two at the
slighest jar, but she'll be game till
the last so far as enjoying her meals
and her night's rest are concerned,
even though her mind has long since
lapsed into a merely rudimentary instinct."
Omaha Team Back
Once More to Meet
With Home Folks
Franker Wood and Miss Bunee
Wyde, who are coming to the Or-I-hcum
next week in "All Right, Ed
dy," although brimming over with
youth, are by no means new to
theatricals nor to Orpheum vaude
ville. Last season they earned very
high favor on the Orpheum circuit in
a novel skit entitled "That's All
Right." Before this they presented
"Good Night" and this season they
have what is said to be a still bright
er and more entertaining act.
Mr. Wood and Miss Wyde are
both natives of Omaha, where they
were married. . After studying at a
local dramatic and singing school
here for a short time, they were en
gaged for parts in "The Gingerbread
Man." Subsequently, they appeared
in many musical productions, includ
ing "The Red Mill," "The Cinder
ella Girl ""The Candy Shop" and
"The Beauty Shop." It is notewor
thy that during the years they have
been on the stage, they have never
been separated even for a single day,
which is probably a record for mar
ried couples who are engaged in the
atricals. Eight years ago they
switched from' musical comedy to.
vaudeville, where they intend to re
main indefinitely.
Miss Bunee Wyde is a Danish girl,
having been born in Copenhagen.
Her uncle is the owner of the "Co
penhagen Democrateri,";one of the
largest newspapers abroad, and 'she
is his sole surviving heir. Miss Wyde
came to this country at the age of
10, so her English shows no trace of
her origin. She has never been back
to Denmark since she left, but she
hopes to make the trip after her tour
with friend hubby. And when she
does this is determined upon she
will take along the sewing machine
that has accompanied her during her
theatrical career just to show the
folks back home that she is still one
of them when it comes to industry
and domestication.
Wally Reid Voted
Most Popular Star '
In Scandinavia
iA contest to determine the most
popular morion picture star in Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark, conduct
ed in the public schools of the three
countries, has been determined in
favor of Wallace Reid by a large
margin The leading American and
European film artists received many
vote from the young motion picture
enthusiasts, American stars winning
first, second, fifth and ninth places,
in addition to other honors.
" Wallace Reid was adjudged the
favorite of the Scandanavian public,;
Thomas Meighan finished a strong
second, Karin Molander, a Danish
actress, third; Marjorie Daw, fourth,
and Dorothy Dalton, fifth. Ninth
place was won by Elliott Dexter.
Jackie Coogan to Europe v
There is a strong possibility that
the London bobbies will have their
hands full in the near future, for ac
cording to reports from Jackie Coo
gan's studio in Hollywood, the star
let may make a visit to England
when he completes his .next picture.
Jackie has risen in popularity with
the English population nearly as fast
as he rose to fame in the movies.
Since "The Kid" and "Peck's Bad
Boy" were released in England, hi?
fan mail has increased by leaps and
bounds. One London publication
went so far as to boldly announce
that were Jackie Coogan to step
afoot British soil, his reception
would come mighty near equalling
that of their idol, Charlie, whose
recent visit to London was cause
for greatest joy and happiness and
no small number of riots in an en
deavor to gain sight of the come
dian. Jackie has now completed "My
Boy," his latest production.
Viola Dana has bought a home in
the Hollywood foothills. She is liv

George Ade Joins
Ranks oh Screen
Scribes on Coast
The latest famous author to join
the ranks of the writers in the mov
ies is George Ade, noted suthor of
'Fables in Stanf" and a long Ji.t 01
plays.
Converted to the possibilities o'
motion pictures by Thomas Mei

work immediately on the script of
j "Our Leading Citizen," a forthcom

Mr. Meighan played the lead in
Ade's "The College Widow" on the

the Boys." The friendship began in
this way has continued, the Para

Advice and Loose
Your Hair, Girls
Dorothy Dalton, film star, has
compiled, the following don'ts for
women who would have correct coif
fures: Don't use real flowers in the hair.
They are in bad taste. Silver and
gold leaves may be used for orna
ments, but should not be used in
front.
Don't have, the hair too full on
the sides.
Don't have too much curl. A large
loose, soft wave is better."
, Don't have thick bangs. ' .
i Don't have too long a part. A
two-inch part is long enough.
Don't shampoo the hair too often,
it taking all the life out of the hair.
Once every six weeks' is sufficient.
Don't bleach the hair. . , ...

Do sctresses who play the same
roles for years and years, never
varying their characterizations, but
only their plots, develop their own
personality, or do they stay in a rut?
This is the question Priscilla
Dean, star of "Conflict," at the
Moon theater this week, answered
In a recent interview.
' "While I always like to play the
role of a young woman, and not a
girl of 14 or IS, I do like to vary
the characters I am to portray,"
said Miss Dean.
"I like to portray the roles of red-
blooded American Women who are
facing the big -vital problems thai
their sisters are facing in real life
and, if possible, be able to give them
a lift over some of the hard places
of their journeys in lie," said Miss
Dean.
Hollywood hears that Mary
I'ickford is to return before Janu
ary IS and prepare to film a story
in which she will put aside the
"curls" and play a very dramatic
role. First, she will refilm "Tess
of the Storm Country."

Women Don't Need
Long Skirts, Says
Fashion, Designer
Good looking snklcs and er-
legs don't need to be covered. That's
why long skirts sre not deitined to
find favor with American women
who, as a race, have the most shape
ly nether extremities in the world.
At least so says Clare West, faih
ion dictator of motion pictures.
According to Mits West, who Is
engaged in designing the ultra-fash
ionalile feminine costumes for Cecile
li. DeMillc's pictures, the long skirt
the latest decree in European fash
ion . centers is not finding with
American women for just this rea
son. "The long skirt originated where
ugly ankles and unshapely legs are
the rule rather than the exception,"
says Miss West. "It was designed
to rover a national defect
"But American women can boast
of trim ankles. There is no irccs
n'ty of covering and concealing them.
And I find that most of them won't
cover them up.
"Screen women are perhaps the
best dressed women in the world.
They have to be. -Their clothes
must always be in advance of the
fashion else those same clothes will
be passe' by the time they are re
produced on the screen. And the
women of .the screen are holding
'thumbs down' on the continental
long skirt There simply is no need
for it."
Broadway Favorite
Plays Quadruple,
Role in Picture
Florence Reed, Broadway favorite
and star of "The Miiraste," which
held New York enthralled during
the entire past season, returns to the
screen after a long absence in a re
markable quadruple role in "The
Black Panther's Cubt" which will be
the attraction at the Brandt i start
ing next Sunday. In the magnifi
cent photodrama, based on Swin
burne's immortal poem, "Faust ine,"
Miss Reed is seen in our separate
and entirely distinct characteriza
tions. As the story of "The Black Pan
ther's Cub" opens Miss Reed is seen
as "Faustine," known as the "Black t
Panther" and keeper of the most no
torious gambling palace in Paris.
In the role of the once beautiful
"Faustine," now a gray and wrinkled
old woman, but whose heart still
burns with a passion for grce(f, Miss
Reed does some of the most wonder
ful acting of her long and success
ful career.
The cast, which includes Norman
Trevor, Earle Foxe, Tyrone Power,
Henry Stephenson, Mile. Dazie, Wil
liam Roselle, Ether Donoher and
Paula Shay, all stars of the stage and
screen, is notable.
