"Now, if I were to powder my own hair for the old lady portion of my role, It would take me hours to get my tresses back to normal. And then thej would be only crown, and not black. "How much easier simply to slip off the whlto wig, erase the heavy lines on my face, put a coat of dark make-up In their placo and put on my black wig. I can reduce the time required for a change like that by hours. "And I do not think that It does the hair any too much good to be continually filling It with powder, removing It and then brush ing tho hair first one way and then the other. It seems much more sensible to coil my hair flat on my head and use the wigs. "Of course I do not always wear wigs. When wo did 'Audrey' I wau supposed to be a young girl of the woods with my hair flowing free. It would have been foolish to have worn a wig In that case, as It would be Impossible to have made It look right. Furthermore, I really think It is good for the hair to let it hang like that, and I did not mind allowing mine to no so. "Of course great car must tie oxerctsed In tho selection of these wigs. They would be ineffective If each one was of markedly different texture. They were all selected with care, both as to quality of hair and coloring. Unless you have struggled with powder:lnfestcd hair, and tried to smooth out curly hair or curly Btralght hair, you can never appreciate what a tremendous saving In time and patlcnco those wigs rep resent. Then, too. there is the matter of actual effectiveness to be considered, for though my hair is a reddish brown, It Is not dark enough to be really effective as gWsy hair. "Please do not gain the impression that I wear a wig the greater part of the time I am on tho screen. I only resort to the practice when it becomes vnluable as a time saver and when I want to make an especial Impression of somo sort. In a great majority of my pictures I never even think of wearing any but my own hair. In 'Zaza,' 'Bella Donna' and many other photoplays I was totally without the wig maker's assistance." Miss Frederick doesn't say anything about "Sapho." Perhaps those who see tho film can decide. " '. -nr? Sr - 77rr " A.zf" '' jp.jnrm' mmmt irv wl-,. rr.L-i-s -i5'jijL-s5 . h whv .i' -- .

Bernard Shaw on Vaudeville rpHE real difficulty about variety theatres is that their standard or training, accomplishment and professional skill is so high, and the standard of stage effect so swift, intense and miraculous, that it is very much harder to come up to concert pitch there than in an or dinary theatre. Dancers, acrobats, jugglers and strong men are ter rible people to compete with. They are trained to the last inch, skilled to the point of doing with ease and certainty things that are Impossible to their audiences, things that seem superhuman. AH this gives these performers amazing distinction. It may not occur to you to call them distinguished; but, if you are rash enough, immediately after one of their performances, to send an un distinguished actor or actress on the stage somebody who would pass muster quite well in an ordi nary theatre the audience misses that distinction at once, and the actor looks hopelessly unskilled and unattractive. I love trained people, I hate sloppy people. Well, the only sloppy people you find in a variety theatre " are the people you aea padded into shapelessnesi for the Surpose of being knocked down.

They will be pleased to know that arrangements have been made ;for the production of the second edition of the local revue with Its company of Philadelphia artists, which Is to be pre sented as the big summer feature this year. Last year's production was In the na ture of an experiment. It proved such a uccess that this year It Is proposed to make "Made In Phllly'.' much bigger, more elaborate and better than the Initial pre sentation. Frank Ortti, a Philadelphia boy who wrote the book and lyrics for the first edition f the revue, has been commissioned to supply material for .the second. He Is at work on the book. Being a Phlladelphtan and a writer of songs and sketches, Mr. Orth Is fitted for the work. He promises something that will make Phlladelphlans talk. Orth Is now playing vaudeville dates with William J. Dooley, another Philadelphia comedian, as partner, offering an original comedy skit by Orth, "The Fool Detective." Orth and Dooley will appear at Keith's next week. At the top (just like "Patria") is Mrs. Vernon Castle, the star of this serial, being shown at Keith's and the Arcadia weekly. The animal she holds is almost as strange as -her hosiery. Marguerite Clark loves canaries and has imported her own into the Famous Players' studio, where she posed for "The Fortunes of Fin," at the Palace next week. Louise Fazenda tests her cat's devotion.

PANTHEA DESCRIBES START INMOVIES By NORMA TALMADGE I am twenty years of age, and therefore much too young to write an autobiography. However, my short life has been a stage of many Interesting, and I might well say happy, occurrences, and of these I am quite willing to make you my confidant I was born at Niagara Falls, where I spent the first ten years of my childhood amid pleasant scenes. Indeed, when I am In a pensive mood, my earliest and fondest recol lections go back to the days I spent at the most beautiful spot In the whole world, the objective of all globe trotters, the origin of the slogan, "See America first." Through force of circumstances pur fam ily moved to New York city. The contrast between Niagara Falls and thlB noisy city was indeed great. But aa time wore on I soon grew to like my new home almost as well as my old one. At school one of those little private schools where men are barred from the premises I had a great deal of fun pillow fights, night parties, secret smuggling of love letters and private theatricals. These were but a few of the many happy events of my boarding Bchool days. And then my attraction for the stage! How I chose the "movies" as a pro fession Is still a wonder to me. If I re member correctly, the nucleus of my ardent desire was formed at a "movie" Bhown six years ago, when I was so impressed by a picture I saw that I made up my mind to apply for a Job the next day. Accordingly, bright and early Saturday morning (you see, I even remember the day) I was up just as determined as the night before. I was literally Jostled on to the screen, for when I reached the studio numerous stage hands were vigorously shifting scenery and I was caught In a whirlpool of white-overalled humanity ami scenic fiats, with their back grounds of gorgeous ornamentatlpns, em bracing Interior sots, and pushed Into the heart of studio activity.
