tion. “They were all chosen with

the years and which shows charac-
ter is left bars (or the camera.
Make-up wipes out the natural lines

painted in. These men are real
soldiers and they are playing sol-
diers—they are not merely actors

every man exactly as he is."
The exceptions to the no make-

a young American. and Ivan Linen.

But it was the pet ambition of
Barthelmess to play in another pic-
ture with Miss Hay. In the first
place. he had to win her over to his
enthusiasm for motion pictures. and.
in the second place. he had to find
a story which would Iive her an op-
portunity to show motion picture
audiences her talents as a comedi-
enne. .
During the filming of “Class-
mates." the most recent Barthel;
mess picture. she went on locatlo
in Florida with her husband and
the company. After working hours.
she made camera tests under the
direction of John Robertson. who
also produced "New Toys." She
also went on location with the corn-l
play to West Point and was pres-

ing filmed there so that she might

Instead of enjoying a summer vs.

ting a complete course in screen
acting. In trying out make-up and
costumes. Barthelmess gave her the
benefit of his long experience be-
tore the camera and taught her the
various tricks of the trade that are
only acquired through years of work
in the studio.
