A ROYAL FILM STAR.
Seeing that eminent piersonages are now accustomed to have their public appearances filmed, have they learned how to comport themselves before the cinematograph camera ? The attractive personality of the Prince of Wales simply radiates from the screen. He has the right kind of smile, the right kind of confidence, and a certain ensemble of charm which suggests that he would make an excellent cinema actor. Mr. Lloyd George, with his innate good humour and the irrepressible twinkle in his eye, also makes a genial screen picture. Mr. Bonar Law is not quite so happy, and is given to buttoning his coat, straightening his tie, and adjusting his hat, as if afraid of doing himself justice. Mr. Asquith’s long hair photographs well, especially in a breeze, and his reflective look suggests that he is trying to see into the minds of the spectators, a trait which is also characteristic of Marshal Foch. Farseeing men generally wear a far-see-ing expression. Famous women rarely resist the temptation to stare right into the eye of the camera or to make a hurried toilet when the cinematographer approaches.
