Carey L. Hastings — Real Tales About Reel Folk

Carey L. Hastings, in The Diamond of Disaster, a recent Thanhouser drama, appeared in one of the most unique and striking makeups lately seen on the screen.

In the character of an Indian princess, her complexion darkened, she wore a robe of rich Oriental colorings, girdled with gold ornaments, and draped with a filmy scarf over jewel-studded sleeves. A turban wound about her loose, black hair fluttered long ends as she galloped into the scene. The part is full of action and intense feeling. Miss Hastings, who is noted for her strong character work, distinguished herself in the piece.

Her triumph was especially noteworthy, the part being completely out of the usual type which Miss Hastings portrays.
