Stanlaws Talks Again Penrhyn Stanlaws, connoisseur of feminine beauty, who recently set Hollywood motion picture circles article in Screenland, a motion pic- ture magazine, the defects of 20 fam- ous feminine stars has written an- other article for the current issue of the same magazine soothing their ruffled feelings and dealing at length | with the "good features" of the same stars. In his initial article the famous art- ist declared many of the stars had "horse nostrils", were "muscle bound" and that their common blemish was "to large a head for their body." However, he gave them an "out" by saying it was true many of them who were really captivating and that the "perfect beauty" has not been born to his knowledge. Sees Other Factors "It is not the modeling of a head or the shape of individual features alone that make beauty," Stanlaws declares in his new appraisal of the pulchritude of the stars. "Color and that go to make up the ensemble be- fore which we bow down and worship. These latter qualities are of such ephemeral character that they cannot be included in a cold appraisal of face and form." In his first writing Stanlaws said Mary Pickford's head was too large. Now he says she is "America's ideal of perfection," and "her features are so good indivdually and as a whole that she is regarded as a perfect beauty." 3 There are several types of screen- land beauties the artist declares, and in the class of "vibrant, magnetic physcial charm" he places at the top Pola Negri, famous Polish star, and who he said before has a "square face." Her drooping eyelids, Stan- laws says, cover hidden fires, and her eyes are "pools of emotion, contain- ing the lurking hint of mysticism-- the spell of the occult." Can't Be Pictured The next type of beauties dealt with by Stanlaws is the "Dresden china" variety. Mary Miles Minter, Wanda Hawley and Mae Murray are classed in this group. commenting upon the beauty oi these three luminaries which does not photograph, Stanlaws writes: : "It is a great pity that Mae Murray's delicate coloring is not photograph- able. "Wanda Hawley's fine complexion would also add to her charm if it could reach the screen. She has eyes that twinkle with merriment one min- ute and well up with great tears the next. She has a charming nose and blond hair that suits her peach-and- cream complexion. "The eyes, nose and mouth of Miss Minter are exceptionally well model- ed. All her features are much above the average and give an effect of daintiness." A just claim to beauty is also grant- ea to the Talmadge sisters. Con- stance's right to pulchritude lies in her eyes, which are well placed and finely shaped, plus the fact that she carries her head with real grace. In reference to Bebe Daniels, who the artist said kept her mouth open too much, it is now written she has beautiful eyes that are appealing. Gloria Fascinating Gloria Swanson, who was said to have the defect of "too large a head," is now declared to be a typical type whose irregularity of feature makes a face of extraordinary fascination. Nazimova's redeeming feature is de- clared to be her eyebrows. "The American public prefers types of womanhood that express the high- est culture and refinement. The pref- erence, which always existed, is be- coming more apparent in the ideals and book illustrations. Bizarre types have their vogue, but the 'American thoroughbred' girl is at all times the favorite." says the artist-author. Death Takes Capt. Taylor, Son of Judge Thos. Taylor Winnetka friends of the Judge and Mrs. Thomas Taylor were shocked this week to learn of the untimely death of their son, Capt. Thorne C. Taylor, this week in Los Angeles.

Clark St., Phone Wabash 1246 Chicago Mortgage Prudential Insurance Company of America, Newark, N. J. Loan Correspondent The DRAMA, OPERA, SCORE BIG HIT By AN OBSERVER On February 2 and 3 the Wilmette Operatic and Dramatic society presented two one-act plays and a one-act oper- etta at the Wilmette Woman's club. The play "Sunset," by Jerome K. Jer- ome, was given by a most efficient cast. The story of the sacrifice of one sister for another was most excellently por- trayed by Mrs. William Hamilton, as Lois Rivers, and Grace Burroughs as Joan Jasper. Their types were as dif- ferent as their characters. Miss Mar- jorie Day was a dear as Aunt Drucilla, a type of woman now almost extinct. Miss Day is a versatile artist, as those who saw her in "Little Almond Eyes" will attest. The men of the cast-- Charles Adams as the smug and well- meaning father; J. Winzel as the re- luctant lover, and Carl Harman as Lawrence, fitted into their characters as if made for their parts. "Rococo" "Rococo," a farce by Granville Bar- ker, was a riot from start to finish. The temper of Mortimer Uglow (Harry Delander* was most beautifully dis- turbed by the urbanity of the Rev. Simon Underwood (A. A. Siebert. and thte aloofness of Mrs. Underwood (Miss Katherine Shaw). Mr. Warren Shaw, as Reginald Uglow, the son, was most successful in bringing the Rev. Underwood to terms, and egually un- successful in controlling his irrasible father. Miss Margaret McCrory made good as Mrs. Reginald Uglow and Miss Mabel McCreadie was a perfect picture of the weeping lady who would do anything for peace. The act was a well-acted, spirited picture of what is apt to happen in every well regulat= ed family. "The Lovers' Knot" "The Lovers' Knot," the play and ly- rics written by Mrs. Kathryn Hamill, the music composed by William E. Beazley, both of Wilmette, and the cast entirely of Wilmette people, was out of the ordinary from the start as the char- acters were introduced one by one, first by the pages, the Misses Jane Lyons and Margaret Beazley, and then by Miss Dorothy Rae as the "Plot." The pro- logue was given by Miss Dorothy Chal- linor, as History; Mrs. Jack Seaver, as the Poet; and Miss Pat Hoffman, a: A Big Dog, and seemed to meet with the approval of the audience. Robert Rae, as the cruel father, and Mrs. Delfontaine as the hysterical mother, were most effective. The Beau- tiful Maiden, depicted by Mrs. J. Dono- van, was a beautiful picture from be- ginning to end and the Lover, by W. Balhatchet, was true to form. The sing- ing of the Maiden and the Lover was beautiful. I. W. Schnitzer as the Monk, created the proper atmosphere for his song which was well received by the audience. Chester Lawrence, as the Villain, was most successful and, with his bandits, made the hit of the evening. Miss Faith Hoffman showed careful training in her dancing, as did Miss Dorothy Lyons in her peasant danc- ing. Miss Dorothy Rae as the Plot, de- lighted every one with her clever char- acterization. Her dancing was wonderful.
