"On the speaking j stage the hero meets the heroine and says, in a voiut; mi wilu nuunuu 'I love vou Ah. I love you! Will you bs mine?' And then the heroine either presents himwith"the 'mitten' or accepts him. But in either case she is able to sob' or smile and tell why. "Now, in motion pictures it is a different matter. When the hero meets the heroine .he must let the audience know, by his actions, that audience know, by his actions, that ne iOVes her and is asking her to be J nLs bride. It is the pantomime of more critical than of anything else .... . a for within the hearts of old folks and j young folks lies a love-chord which can be maae to viurate truly oniy j by showing a sweet and pure pas sion.
