"Here is another little Interesting

case, and here is the explanation.
"The 'extra' girl, trying to make a
i name for herself, does not work all
the time, and often times, because' of
the scarcity of work, wonders where
she is going to get the money for her
next week's expenses. And because of
that fart she is less expensive than the

the slang of today, it ha no slow-1
thinking citizens the stolid type who
resent the requirements of modern liv

denying sin, yet secretly indulging in
it. That everlasting inertia grppin
everything has yet to get iis hold on

where one "would like to get married
and settle down and take a home on
the shady side of the street and
watch the children and a couple of
dogs romp together on the lawn and
really enjoy life.

SOCIAL LIGHT TURNS 'CAVE GIRL' AND

LOR AJWSELEH, Cal., Sept. 21.
"Yes, some people call this place 'Hor
rible Hollywood,' mid even term the
well-thought-of residents here as 'na
tives,' " said Norma Talmndge as she
sat on a box on the "lot" resting be
tween scenes of her latest screen pro
duction. Her usual wholesome smile was ab
sent. A serious atmosphere swept
across her face with cyclonic velocity
. and there was fire in her eyes. .She
had been asked what she thought on
"all this comment about the motion
picture colony and Hollywood."
"Unfortunately," the. actress said
clamly, "from professionally paid
reformers have come unwarranted at
tacks centered on members of the
motion picture industry who live and
work in Hollywood. That these at
tacks were unjust and without foun
dation and that idle rumor has been
accepted for fact has been proved.
"People continually ask me about
Hollywood," Miss Talmadge continu
ed. "Earnest men and women lead
ers in art, literature and finance
have askednie the truth of Hollywood.
-And I tell them that Hollywood is a
city much maligned.
"What makes a city? you ask.
Well, certainly not the malicious,
half-baked, distorted creations of per
sons" whose command of adjectives is
greater than their regard for truth
nnd their ability to see things as they
really are. The real measure of a
city's worth is its aim and its accomplishments.
Hollywood Is Iwtir to ie"
"Hollywood is dear to me necause
T have lived and worked here have
seen it progress enjoyed its trium
phs. And, too, i have suffered real
heartaches wherever a scandal made
its appearance. The sensational par
ties you read and hear about, but nev
er sec, are not staged in Hollywood, I
know. It is an undeniable fact that
the motion picture colony does have.
its 'undesirables' and scandals, but
every other profession has them also.
"The motion picture star realizes
his or her debt to the public. They
ure the Idols of millions, and they
realize that because of this they must
be careful in everything they do.
"Evenings in Hollywood see gath
erings of stars, directors, camera men,
teohineal experts and writers all
men and women who strive to attain
perfection in the art they love. Hard
work, inspiration, the radiance of
home life and the goal ahead are al
ways the spirit of Hollywood not
the scandalous parties you hear about.
"All films caannot be for children.
Sex and money are part of everyday
life, and a picture must have a back
ground. Pictures portraying life must
have these factors.
llestriction Hurts Art
"Criticisms have been made thai,
pictures show too much of this or
that. It has also been suggested that
certain phases must lie eliminated and
other parts 'cut.' r.ut restriction is
not conducive to the best artistic re
sults, and dogmatic, restraint is a
death Mow to the soul of art.
' "It is not the psychology of the
American people to attack a person

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1 2. It's a
far cry from a fashionable ball room
to a lonely mountain homestead, but
pretty Eileen Young, just twenty-two,
has bridged the gap. . I
Just recently Miss Young won first!
costume prize for. Mono : County, her
adopted' county, at a fashionable .civic
ball given . here. -. She wore, a "envp.
woman s costume" fashioned from

self in ,the wilds of the mountains.
Now she is back in Mono county
completing the last ' of twenty-one
months' residence on 64(1 acres of wild
land which stretches from the High
Sierras to the Mojave dcserV which she
took up three years ago at the age of
19 as a "homesteader."
Her principal neighbors are PUitn
Indians and one of her best friend Is
the venerable. "Four Fingered Jack,"
chieftain of the Piute's,, who has been
her protector from the moment of her
arrival three years ago. tie gave her
the name of "Lonely Deer." Word
went out that anyone who so much as
lifted a finger against the little "pale
face" pioneer who had come, to the
Lake Mono district would answer to
"Four Fingered Jack," for "Lonely
Deer" is the niece of Oeorge ' Dora,
homesteader and fast friend of the
chief.
Home ill Sail Joj-e.
"Uncle George's" homestead is 30
nt'les from the cabin of the intrepid
"Eileen Young, Homesteader,'' as she
calls herself on her visits to civilizza
tion and the home of her parents in
San Jose. A mountain range rears It
self between the two "sections" and a
swift .mountain stream tears Its wy
down toward the sea otherwise they
are "close neighbors.'
On her last trip to civilization
"Lonely Deer" had some pictures ta
ken in her ball costume to show Chief
"Four Fingered Jack" her conquest of
"society" for Mono county. The chief
has never been to a city, much less to
a fashionable ball, nnd the only Jazz
he has ever heard is that afforded by
the mournful chant of the coyotes that
gather on the shores of fciii': lono at
night to voice their HnxopiO'K. moans
for the edification of lh. Hears, moun
tain lions, timid mulo deer ind slacly
elks that inhabit the region nn.1 to
throw terror into tho hearts of the
thousands of sheep that trrfze on the
hills overhanging the lake.
Miss Young docs not know the
meaning of the vror.1 fear.
"Afraid?" she wns asked.
A laugh wns her answer.
"I don't know what it menu to be
