I guided their steps with nfidence which was sadly tnisplac-1 , My pupils jumped, cavorted and Isted themselves there was thing left of the gavotte but the itline of the steps and one had to I a connoisseur to recognize even , It. I “In desperation I came back to rance. First thing 1 knew they were kmching a new dance—the cakewalk. I Went to see what it was. Eh bien. e most renowned teachers of the iw dance were the two worst pupils had had in Tahiti. I was angry. I Id my compatriots what idots they ►re but they laughed at me.

to recognize tha possibilities of com-1 merciallzing the Latin type of hero.

Adolph Menjou, Lew Cody, Lewis Stone and John Barrymore, midtileaged actors known for their philandering tactics on the scrtMtp, were (titled by the famous scenarist us exI amples of the new mode of heartcrushers, | "These men have a devilish way of making love on the screen that appeals to young girls—and the same ' elusive and amorous quality which strikes to grownups as well. Their love-making has a finesse and deftness, minus any great display of passion, that arouses the admiration, as well as the sympathies, of the women. I "Briefly, the screen heroes of the future must register more than mere physical beauty —there must be a well defined touch of sophisticated intelligence about their love-making.” .
