"Affectation is the chain which binds
the average netor to mediocrity.
" 'Stnge tricks' are fascinating
weapons with which to fight for pub
lic approval, but they are boomerangs
rather than Mauser rifies.
" 'Repressed emotion' has become as
banul a phrase as 'perfect' lady,' but
it nevertheless indicates the stage
method of the future.
"It is well to regard the average
audience as a mass intellect to which
only thought and sincerity will appeal "
"Never should an actor convoy to
an audience the least suggestion that
he is listening to his own voice with

But the Duncan Teammates Are
Now Billed as Individuals
Charles Dillingham, who stands
sponsor for "She's n Good Fellow,"
the new musical comedy which opens
the Forrest on Monday, has n keen
scent for "discovering" newcomers of
talents behind the footlights. His most
recent "find" has been a pair of ir
repressible youngsters, the Duncan sis
ters, whom he unearthed in vaudeville.
Their debut in "She's a Good Fellow"
wns a hit of leal proportions.
The morning after they took delighted
New York the Duncan sisters, who were
k,novvn only by their "team name" nnd
not as individuals, made n request that
in the future they be known as llozctta
and Vivian Duncan, and that they be
identified accordingly by having their
lull names displayed on the program.
"How can we find a husband when
all our notes rend 'Dear Duncan Sis
ters; I can,'t tell which is which?' " de
manded uozctta.
"And when wc arc never separated
for a single minute not even in our
'billing,' " added Vivian.

"The Perfect Lover," the first produc
tion in which Eugenn O'Brien wlllmak
his bow as a Selznick star, will do at
the Stanley week of September IB. It
Is an adaptation of "The Naked
Truth," n magazine story.
Too story, which concerns a young
man who through outward influences has
become n personal magnet to which
women seem attracted and who gels "
Into difficulties because of this charm-,
inc nersonalitvi is one calculated to
bring out the dramatic ability of the -,
.Ini..
Mr. O'nHcns part is not only th
principal role around which revolves the
story, but it Is also a study of environ
ment, nnd its effects upon the Indl-'
vidua). Tlic plot is unique in that it
calls for four leading women to play
opposite the star.
Iu Tom Mooro's new picture, "Lord
and Lady Algy," next week nt the Pal
ace, stuttering rage of one of the char
acters, Harbazon Tudway, a wealthy
soap manufacturer, who suspects Lord
Algy of carrying on a flirtation with his,
wife, is depicted on the Ecrcen through
the ability of William Burrcss. Mr.
Burrcss has (evcral physiognomical ad-,
vantages for registering broad, comic
effects; a mobile mouth, eyebrows that
respond to his every thought and cheeks
that puff in or out on thfvslightest
provocation. In one Eceno Tudway's
mouth opens wide, in accusations, ha
tries to close it and cannot succeed. In
this embarrassing and stuttering posi
tion tho cameraman caught him for a
fraction of n second. Then, with a tre
mendous effort, the suspecting soap
manufacturer succeeds in closing his
mouth. Tho shout that bellows forth
almost leaps from the screen.
Billic Burke Is the star in the latest
Paramount-Artcraft picture, "The'
Misleading Widow," next week at the
Arcadia. Betty's husband, according
to the plot, deserted her several years
ago on nccount ot her extravagance
Whereupon Betty undertook to run her
house herself and spent all her money.
Then the idea came into her pretty head
to announce her husband'3 "death,"
collect his insurance and pay pressing
debts. Of course, she couldn't foresee
that the army colonel she was enter
taining would invito her missing spouse
to come nnd sec him. Matters get into
an aw fill jam and the way the charming
Hetty untangles them makes hilarious
fun.
A motion -picturo fan or, rather,
"fanness" was astonished, after see
ing William Fnrnum in "Wolves of the
Night," which will next week be nt tho
Victoria, on learning that ho was G feet
10V6 inches in height.
"I've seen every William Farnum
picture, nnd for mAny years have be
lieved him to be six feet tall," she said
in wonderment. "How did it happen?"
