Naldi and Barbara La Marr are the enigmas of the screen. What do they wear under those slinky, tight-fitting evening gowns? Why do their clothes fit them so perfectly? Why is it impossible to detect a wrinkle or a crease on the surface of those satin garments? Could it be possible that—?
After all, why not? Since we have discarded layers and layers of flannelette and long-cloth, anything might happen. Perhaps, it has.
It is reported that elaborate experiments are being made by Thomas H. Lice's cameramen to get new fog effects for the impressive fog scene in "Anna Christie," Eugene O'Neill's play, which Mr. Ince is making.
The old fog machines that blew a cloud of silver dust in front of the cameras have recently been discarded in favor of smoke pots, which give a good effect when used on "sets," but which are hardly practical for exterior scenes made "on location."
The fog sequence in "Anna Christie" is one of the most effective scenes in the play. In reproducing this scene on the screen great care, it is said, must be taken to make it evident that the hazy, silhouetted outlines are done intentionally and are not the result of poor photography.
It is thought by Mary Pickford's management that at no time in the history of films has a greater variety of locales been selected by producers than those which form settings for pictures soon to be released. Regarding this Mary Pickford said: "The reason for this is that until a comparatively short time ago the majority of pictures were set in American locales, and naturally there was a tendency of the public to tire of such settings. Consequently producers are now striving for variety by seeking not only to get stories that are different, but also to place their stories in foreign locales. This way of obtaining a change can be compared to the practice of many persons changing the setting of their jewels." Miss Pickford's new picture, "The Street Singer," is a Spanish story of how a beautiful street singer extricates herself from the clutches of a decadent king.
According to Samuel Goldwyn, Rex Beach and Rupert Hughes are the only well-known authors who understand the technique of the screen. Both these men direct the screen versions of their own novels. Mr. Hughes has recently returned to Hollywood after a visit to New York, where he witnessed the opening of his "Souls for Sale," based on his novel of the same name, which Harpers published last year.
Womanly Beauty Marred
By Surperfluous Hair
WOMAN'S crowning glory is her hair, but she must exercise care not to have it show in embarrassing places. Most efforts to rid milady of superfluous hair result in stronger growth, because only the surface hair has been removed, leaving the follicles to produce a more luxuriant growth just where it isn't wanted.

A Safe Treatment
It has been absolutely demonstrated that no strictly external application can exterminate the hair follicle (which is another name for the hair root) without injury to the tender skin where the objectionable hair growth exists. When the hair follicle is alive and healthy, no amount of purely external application can prevent increasing and coarser hair growth. All hair is dependent for life upon the secretions of the endocrine glands. A deficiency of this gland secretion causes baldness. Kilrute Hair Destroyer has proven perfectly efficacious in cases of superfluous hair growth not only by removing the hair but by its power to penetrate and dry up these gland secretions. The natural and inevitable result is starvation and death to the follicle which produces and nourishes the hair.
Kilrute consists of a powder and liquid, both applied directly to the skin with the hands. It can be applied to the tenderest skin and may safely be left on over night. In fact it has the added features of a skin softener and beautifier.
(As effective for men as for women)
You Owe It To Yourself
And To Society
There is no longer any need to suffer the annoyance and humiliation caused by superfluous hair growth. No extravagant claims are made for Kilrute. Kilrute will remove hair safely and effectively. In some cases one application has given permanent relief. Discriminating women of refinement are discarding former methods for this one successful treatment for the elimination of unsightly hair growth. You owe it to yourself to preserve your womanly charm and daintiness.
Kilrute will be sent C. O. D. or on receipt of $5.00 plus a few cents for postage.
