Dear Mist Brook: ' Would certainly fifce to hear jour opinion of Pola Negri motion picture ilar, Vfho has keen appearing at tome of the leaiiny picture houses. It teemt to me that her plays are decidedly be-lol be-lol the moral standard of the general American public. Are these pictures produced in America and tubal is her nationality? Don't you think these vampire pictures are demanded by the theatre-going public of the present day? Thank'ms Mou verv much lor en- er - e " m - - lighlenment in this matter' I am, MADGE B., Mi. Pleasant, Utah It must be admitted that there seems to be a demand for the Pola Negri class of picture plays by a part of the theatre-going public, but let us sincerely sincere-ly hope that it is not the majority. I believe the majority never leave shows of the' class in which this actress have appared or others of like nature, without with-out feeling that the time spent in viewing view-ing it has been lost and there remains a very unpleasant "taste" as a reminder remind-er for some time. The "moral" which is supposed to be the good derived from its production produc-tion could just as easily be placed before be-fore the public in a. picture which would not leave such an unsatisfied feeling of time misspent This actress was born in Poland. Her pictures have been made abroad, in Germany and in Paris and London. Dear Miss Brooks: Will you please give me the cast of , characters vhich played in "Truth About Husbands." Thank'mg you in advance. A Ford full of love and a kiss on each rattle. MOVIE FAN. Grantsville, Utah. Welcome to my corner. You are very generous with your affection. I fear you will become bankrupt if you d not use more economy. The following fol-lowing is the cast in "Truth About Husbands:" Janet Preece by Anna Lehr; Dun-can'Ramshaw Dun-can'Ramshaw by H. E. Herberts Mrs. Stonehay by Elizabeth Garrison; Leslie Les-lie Brownell by Mae McAvoy ; Hugh Murry by Richard Gordon; Lord Randolph by Ivo Cawson; .Wilbert Barnell by Arthur Rankin ; Irene Stonehay by Loraine Frost. Dear Helen Brooks: am gomg to mai(e use of your corner and hope it will not take too much of your time to explain to me how burglars and others who commit crimes are caught by their finger prints? EARNEST INQUIRER, Ephraim I am glad to wclcom you to my corner. The idea is this. All people differ in the pattern of the little ridge on their fingers. Two patterns exactly exact-ly the same from two different people have never yet been found. A man may change his clothes and the appearance ap-pearance of his face, he may look like a different person, and have not the slightest resemblance to a photograph ' Wm xA am, tut Viif YJiurrfe-martt WV1' er changes. These little ridges may be destroyed, but no different pattern can be put in their place. So you eaa see if a man is found whose thumb-mark is the same as that found in connection with a crime the evidence is extremely strong against him. Dear Miss Brooks: " J fss .rj m u:k zvrprh? i$ hi tome one say recently that lobsters Were red only after being cooked, ft this true, and fhat is their color toh'de alive ? MAEBELL, Downey, Idaho. Yet, Macbell, it is true that lobsters lob-sters turn red when boiled. This is caused by a chemical change that occur oc-cur in the brown coloring matter of the shell when it is heated. It is a curious fact that the red coloring matter of our blood turns brown when heated, but the brown of the lobtser's shell turns red. |
