The movie business lm turned tlic corner. Mnln street is only a few blocks ahend. Don't let's wait for a trolley j enll a Texas cab and let's go. During the ltiHt week or ten days there seems to have been n revival every where. People arc Hocking to the tlientres, they're spending their money, they've quit the gloom and have come out into the bright lights. The houses nrc reopening, the studios are resuming production. There's a confident hum of activity and you can hear people laugh out loud once more. I've had several encouraging reports from different parts of the country these Inst few days. They show the same nwnkenlng In almost every section. Exceptions, of course ; there are always exceptions. Hut they aren't significant. Along comes Adolph Zukor with the results of a telegraphic survey made last week. Know AdolphV No? He's only president of the Fnmous I'inyers Lasky Corporation, the biggest of the producers. That's nil Adolph is, except a financier who doesn't even lose his appetite for breakfast when they wire him for another live million or so. He wouldn't even spell live million with capitnl letters. Now you make the old pun about capital and interest and then we'll proceed. ZUK fif UKOIl sent a wiic to riprescntativr movir house owners in twenty' five of the key cities of the country asking them for a telegraphic report on busincis conditions nun outlook. Ami the remit it n declara tion that not only are thing improving hut that there is every initial . tion of a genuine honm time this fall anil winter. Itoom! Do you get that, Gcraltlinct Let's make it a real honm. INTERRUPTING just for n moment. I want to tell jou how crj cleveily tin recent situation was described last week by Cecil H. IV Mllle, the famous director, at a banquet of the Western Motion Picture Advertising Association "The motion-picture business," he said, "may be likened to n young man who inherited untold wealth and proceeded to grow soft nnd fat in wasteful xtravagance. Suddenly It became necrsvarj for the young man to rid himself cf his unhealthy fat and curb ills expenditures and do It quickly. "The young man succeeded in his effoi ts. Hut all of bis friends ond acquaintances, remembering his former rotundity nnd prodigality, when thej saw him after his reduction, promptly nld, 'Wu, how thin you arc!' "But he is not thin: lie is morel norm.il once more. The suddenness of his return to normal mny have left him n little weak, but it is a healthy weak ness, far less dangerous than his previous cmnlitlon. "The motlou-picture industry is In far better shnpe today than it was in 1014. That was the beginning of its period of wasteful extravagance brought about by the removal of alien competition betnuso of the war. Producers vied with each other in the expenditure of money ou spectacular and lavishly staged productions. "That abnormal condition lias gone for nil time. In its place has come a normal, healthy condition tlint is infinitely preferable." CALLS that stuff about the fat young man mighty clever. It give you an exact picture of the moving' picture industry, and it is a picture that you can casih comptehend and remember. BUT to return to the survey made bj Adolph Zukor. The reports show that, except for three bad spots, the business north of Mason nnd Dixon's much advertii-ed line is improving fnst and there is every indication that it will be back to normal within a month or two. And the bad spots nre entirclj sectional. Unusual hot weather still inter- , feres in the South, the extreme Northwest is sulTerlng becnuse lumber and its allied Industries nrc still asleep and snoring loudly and Iowa and Southern ' Ohio haven't yet been able to pull themselxes out of generally sluggish business.

It's because I want you to realize that any business condition which affects the chap who runs the little movie place around the corner affects you. When the cost of films goes too high for him to pay. he can't get the ones you want to see. When operating expenses and orois receipts get too close together, you yourself have to go without the things you ought to have, nhen a big producing or distributing oiganhation gets a stranglehold on him, and begins to squeeze the life out of him, you nrc the one who tuffers. And when Cecil Dc Milk's fat boy got too hefty, he took up two seats in the trolley car and you had to stand. You ought to get the viewpoint of the ouncr of that little movie house. And you ought to give him yours. You arc partners in the .same business. In fact, it's more than that. The moiic house man is try ing his durndest to work for you and he's very anxious to know whether you arc satisfied or not.

"Hut so many girls who aspire to be i actreNses forget that, although the may feel to the very depths of their beings, it is only one In a thousand I who knows how to express. 'I hen-fore, the training of nn actress is not only the quickening of iier reaction to emo tions, but the training of her body as an instrument for tlic expression of those emotions. "When I undertake to train an actress, I require two fundamental things of her. "First, she must have personality. This entnlls, of course, cliorm nnd force of ehurncter. Second, she must possess the ability to transmit to her Audience, through the medium of the screen, not only that personality, but the H"rsonality of the character she is portraying. "Hrains? I ask intelligence, nnd that is included in my Initial require ment. There nre cases wheie nn nctress mny not be considered clever iu the accepted sense of the word, jot be so rasponslve to direction that she is well ulgh perfect In her performance. In other words, the director expresses per fectly through tier his conception of tho character he wishes portrajed.

MOVIE BEAUTY CONTEST WINNERS Now that Madelainc StarhUl, winner of our Beauty Contest, is well on her toou to stardom, it is a pleasure to announce that the other two of the three "runners up" have also been given a chance to win fame in the movies. Vera Gordon, famous screen mother and star of "Humoresque," has just commenced another picture at the Biograph Studio in New York under the direction of Harm Rapt. Both Miss Gordon and, Mr. Rapt, we now learn, have followed our contest with a great deal of interest. This is shown by the fact that they have offered positions to both of these girls and the girls arc now in New York preparing for their screen debuts. . .

It is n world which may seem topsy-turvy to the outsider, with its peeulinr customs, nnd n greater free lo from restraint than is customary in the conventional world outside. Examined a bit closer, those outland ish ideas appear to bo the very same ones which nre nlwns associated with artists a Hohomian spirit which is the same, whether in Hollywood or the hntin Quarter of Paris. If the newcomer to the studio wishes sincere in his desire to do something big and fine iu motion pictures, will alwnjH be toleinted no mntter how bi zarre his character in other respects. In shdrt, people nre ranked .accord ing to their artistn understanding rather than according to their nncestry, their bank account or their morals. Most of the leaders of the motion-picture world have risen from poverty and obscuritj, a fact which oeeountH for the democracy which prevails in the studio. , Chnriic Chnplin had n hard Btruggle in his early dnjs, plujing minor parts in cheap London vaudeville. Marshall Ncllnn, one of the greatest directors of the time, broke into mo tion "pictures ns 11 chauffeur. Norma and Constance Talmadge rose from obscuritj us extins. Anita Stewart's first part was that of a maid in one of the old Yitngrapli I pictures. I Charlie Raj carried n snoar as a "super" in a stock company tlint went broke before he landed In picture land. Milium Cooper was an extru. So wore many others who tudaj are with- I in the ranks of stardom. Wesley Harry was a newslioj heron- he was dis covered by Mnrshull N'eilan. AND if you still question the de mocracy of the screen, let us point out. that not oulj those of humble be ginnings have been nttini'ted by its lure nnd possibilities, but fnmous nrtlsts of the spoken stage and n-iims of society have responded to the same urge. There me the distinguished llnrrv mores, who lime long since given their talents to the silent drama. There is Guy Hates Post, who is about to make Ids debut iu motion pictures with screen versions of "Omnr, the . Tent Maker, and '"I he Masuuerader." ve hides which made him famous on the stage.

"Will j'ou come over here nnd let me see what jou c,an do, please?" - I couldn't help feeling disappointed, of course; whatever it was thnt was going on, I wanted to be in on it'NHut Just then the director I was working for called "Ready on the set!" nnd I lind to Aurry ncross the studio.

"She'll have n fit if she knows we're wntching her," I answered, ns wo stnrted for the sot where lsnbcl was. Even in those days she wns tempera mental about having, people urotind when she wns working. "Let's hide behind tlint rack of lights." So wc hid behind one of the big racks of electric lights beside the' set nnd watched. It was funny, of course. But it wns funnier still, Inter on, when Is turned around in rent life nnd used on thnt unsuspecting young mnn the very arts and wiles tlint he taught her for tlint picture. Isabel Heath's smile has become famous on tiic screen. It used to be really lovely, before It became mecbnul cal. You're seen her turn it on ninny n mnle star Waliie Reid and Bryant Washburn nnd even Bill Hnrt. Her big, dark cjos got sort of tender, nnd little dimples come nround her mouth nnd then she smiles straight into the eyes of the mnn she's playing .with, or into yours. And every gin in tne nutii cnec goes home and practices lt before tlio mirror. Well, bhc learned thnt smile thnt nft crnoon. Phil Crnncy taught her to do it. He taught her other tilings, too--nll sorts of little tricks of expiession Hint nrc irresistible In u girl ns pretty ns she is. Her history since thnt time proves now good n teacher he was ! He used one of the young lending men ns an accessory. He'd say : "Now so up to him nnd look at him tliis way, Miss Heath beg liini to look nt j'ou. No, don't pout don't ever do that; it spoils your mouth. Lny j-our hand on his shoulder no. this way: if you curve it lik6 that nt the elbow you mnke an usly line. Here. like this." And he'd take the young uinn's place nncl show her how to do it. He wns perfectly matter-of-fact nbout it, of course; there was no rea son why he shouldn't be. It wns all in tlic day's work.

"I suppose it's all right to play love scenes like that, but " "It's perfectly wondciful to bo coached by Mr. Craney," she answered, getting awfully dignified.
