Strange Vocations Send
Future Stars to Films; jj
No Monopoly on Talent
What was the last thing they
did before they became movie ac
tors? A check-up among some of
4 the younger players revealed some
odd facts Tire "answers have a
'serious aspect also, because they
are farther proof that screen
stardom may await anyone in al
most any place or work.
Little Maureen 06ullivan, an
Irish girl with no thought of a
Bcreen career, was dining In a Duh
lin restaurant when she was dis
covered by Director Frank Bor
Eage, who was searching for play
ers . for John McCormack's Fox
Movietone pictnre, 'Song o My
Heart." She was dining wit
friends and utterly obrtviotisr"t
the fact that a noted director was
present. So it may be literally said
that the last thing Maureen did
before she became a screen act
ress was to dine informally.
Maureen is still the unaffected
girl discovered in Ireland. She recently-completed
the lead in De
Bylva, Brown and Henderson's
lecond musical romance for the
imwn. "Just Imagine." at the
fox studios. I
. The last thing John Wayne did
efore he was given the lead In
"The Big Trail." was to hurry
tcross the Fox lot on an errand.
He was working as a prop boy
when Director Raoul Walsh saw
him and decided he was right for
the part.
Joan Marie Lawes. elght-year-Qld
daughter of Warden Lewis E.
t Lawes of Sing Sing' prison, was
" HCxtug In the prison yard, prac
tising some of her ballet steps
and deciding whether it woaldn't
be more fun to klp the rope. A
Fox Film representative saw her
and asked that she be permitted
to play a part In -Up the River."
Joan Marie Is now under contract
to Fox Films.
Jane Keith, beautiful blond
Chicago girl, was taking dictation
'tnd being advised to say that her
employer was "In conference" if
anyone called. She decided that
the life of a secretary was not for
her, and left to take up a career
on the screen. She was leading
lady for Milton Sills In "The Sea
Wolf,", an honor coveted by many
players.
" I Tommy Clifford was In school,
pulling the pigtails of a little girl
In front of him, when he was
marked for the screen by Direc
tor Frank Borzage. Tommy, hav
ing been assigned a featured role
In "The Shepper-Newfounder," is
xraw too dignified to . pull little
zkls nietails. He shoots paper
wads at them from a discreet dis
tance Instead.
Charlie Chaplin
Back in Films;
In 'City Lights'
nut of the' vast silence that, en
shrouds the mighty Chaplin"
comes a flash: "City-Lights" will
" have .been photographed com
pletely within ten days.
There will be, Mr. Chaplin def
initely states, no dialog In the
... picture,
There will be a synchronized
music score, much of the music
being composed by Chaplin (who
plays the violin, organ and other
' instruments), and natural sound
J effects. Mr. Chaplin, who writes,
acts, directs, casts, produces and
edits his own pictures, will turn
to his first Job of synchronization
in- ten days. It is Interesting to
nete that one who has been so
-versatile in the silent film brings
to- the field of sound synchronis
ation a background in music that
far exeeeds that of the average
film-maker. The versatility of
Ckaplin, who has been all things
to the cinema. Is now' enhanced.
Let there be no mistake on one
paint: Charlie Chaplin is the
- champion of silent pictures and
there la no disposition on his part
to be. anything bat that. It Is, In
v in this connection, no secret that
- the entire motion picture industry
is awaiting the ahbwlnga of "City
Lights.- It is; also, no -secret
that Mr. Chaplhrand the privil
eged few who hare been permit

Nancy Avers
That Tired
Feeling bad
The modern woman of the
business and professional world
leads- a double life and her great
est enemy is fatigue, according
to Nancy Carroll, appearing in
Paramount's production, "Fol
low Thru," with Charles Rogers.
With chameleon-like rapidity,
the women who work dally In
stores, offices, and studios,
change Into social butterflys. aft
er business hours, a metamor
phosis that must be complete
and convincing?" contends this
young actress.
" 'After work fatigue Is the
bogey of women actively em
ployed during the day," eays
Miss -Carroll. "In spite of long
hours of work, the woman who
emerges in the evening into the
social swim must appear fresh,
rested, charming and vivacious.
To achieve the loveliness of a
debutante after eight hours of
wage-earning, presents a prob
lem to the girl of today, but one
that can be solved."
A fifteen minute restorative
schedule has been worked out by
Miss Carroll and employed by
her te remove all traces of "fa
tigue from studio work before
jthe social events of the film
colony.
"Take a warm bath, of
course, advises Miss Carroll,
"adding bath salts that tend to
stimulate circulation. Follow
this with a cold shower and a
very brisk rubdown with a rough
Turkish towel.
"Special care should be given
to the eyes, for they reveal the
ravages of a day's toil most
quickly' the actress warns.
Her solution for this is an eye
bath with a solution of boracic
acid. After this. Miss Carroll
places paas or cotton, moisienea
wtth the solution, over each eye.
and. rests In a horizontal posi
tion for five minutes.
Alter the rest sne applies a
skin tonic to her face, neck and
shoulders to aid circulation and
bring a rosy glaw to the .com
plexion. The tonic is followed
by a quick 4ce rub.

"Noah's Ark" Comes to
The Grand
Great Spectacle; "Son of the
Gods," and "Song ot the
Caballero" Coming
"Noah's Ark" which Is being
presented at the Grand today,
Monday and Tuesday, is one of
the most stupendous screen plays
ever attempted. Three years
were required to complete the
picture which is an epic of great
beauty and strength.
The story has to do with the
World war and the terrific strug
gle which took place in the world
during the historic flood. The
plot develops the idea of the
changelessness of humanity, and
the strength and beauty of love.
Delores Costello and George
O'Brien play the leads but euch
people as Noah Beery, Louise
Fazenda, Myrna Loy, and Paul
McAllister give the support which
makes the presentation of War
ner's one of the amazing pictures
of the talking picture age.
Wednesday and Thursday Rich
ard Barthelmess will be seen In
Son of the Gods," an outstand
ing production which has caused
justly commendable applause
wherever it has been shown.
Barthelmess takes the part of a
Chinese in most satisfactory fash
ion. Scenes developing the life
of a Chinese1 in any country but
his own make a splendid picture
for both thought and amusement.
Friday the loves of Ken May
nard will be given the "Song of
the Caballero." This picture pre
sents a picture with action and
dramatic tension. A true Ken
Maynard picture and nothing
more need be said.
Harold Lloyd, having gotten
well along in his next production,
"Feet First," already, is laying
plans for a football comedy to
follow it. It will be recalled that
one of LJoyd's greatest successes
was "The Freshman" in which he
had exciting football scenes.

Warner's Story
Chief Tells of
- Visitto-G.B.S.
Jacob Wilk, head of the story
department of Warner Bros., Is
the subject of an Interview by
Gray Stridor which Is confined to
Mr. Wilk's Impressions of his re
cent visit to George Bernard
Shaw. In commenting on the
changed attitude ot the socialist-vegetarian-dramatist-preface
writer-novelist,
Mr. Wilk says:
""'Another reason for Shaw's
friendliness toward the screen as
it now is, is because of the fact
that George Arliss Is one of his
closest friends. He admired Ar
liss very much in his picture,
'Disraeli,' and at present Arliss Is
trying to persuade the great dra
matist to write a play for him,
taking the life of Voltaire as the
hero. In this connection, I have,
recently sent Shaw a working
manuscript of our version of
'Disraeli" to let him read It and
see how the picture script varies
from the play. I look forward
with much interest to his reac
tion." SUNDAY

Doctor Present
When Boyd and
Cooper Battle
A doctor was present on thp set
when Gary Cooper and William
Boyd fought their great fight for
"The Spoilers," now in produc
tion at the Paramount stdios in
Hollywood as a modern all-talking
picture of 'unusual score.
Cooper and Boyd fought, also,
under the expert eyes of William
Farnum and Tom Santschi, who
made screen history in their fieht
for the first filming of "The
Spoilers" 17 years ago. Farnum
and Santschl, the guests of Para
mount and of Director Edwin
Carewe on that day, were "hon
orary technical advisers." They
okayed the struggle without hesi
tation and were the first to con
gratulate Cooper and Boyd when
it was over.
Neither participant was seri
ously injured during the fight, al
though each had entered the scene
fully expecting to come out of it
with torn flesh or broken bones.
The battle was fought on the
last camera day of the picture,
this arrangement being deliberate
on the part of tfce director so that
in event of accident to either
Cooper or Boyd the picture would
not be delayed.
Sam Hellman, celebrated Sat
urday Evening Post humorist, is
the author of "Purely An Acci
dent," one of the new Vitaphone
Varieties comedies. It is a prize
ring story, using both Broadway
players and boxers for the leading
roles. The stage contingent is
Brown, Jr., Frank Otto and Hel
headed by Allen Kearns, Reed
en Ljwd. To provide the proper
atmosphere and technical advice,
director Roy Mack enlisted the
aid of Soldier Bartfield and Jack
Roberts, ring gladiators well
known to fight'fans.
