laughing matter for Gustay von Seyffertitz.
He has, had eight years of it and not once in that time has he felt the faint palpitation of a feminine heart against his manly bosom; never has he been privileged to kiss the lips of the beautiful women who are the life blood and the back bone of the motion picture world, Always he has been he villian. Von Seyfertitz's experience with the theatre and its
arts be. gan 33 years ago. Up to the time he entered studio work he never played other than comedy parte, al- though most of his effort was given to the direction of stage plays.
As a director for Charles Froh- man he guided-the courses of such stars of the spoken. stage as Otis Skinner, Ethel Barrymore, John Drew. Billie Burke, Cyril Maude and Frameis Wilson.
Douglas Fairbanks first saw in him the villainous quality and gave von Seyfertitz the heavy role in "Down to Earth."
Since then his life has been one succession of hisses, curaes and dirty looks, with the blackest of them all saved for the last, for the Veteran actor is now in the cast of for Paramount, "Barbed Wire," Pola Negri's new starring vehicle adaptation of Hall Caine's Wom
