Ciark Gable Serves Up Some Hollywood Facts Little Known Facts About Fihn Stars ; Ruth Chatterton Once Lived On 20 Cents a Day; Ronald Colman Arrived in New York With $37 Br CUrk GaUtf HOLLYWOODâ€" I jot down some interesting facts I have learned about my friends and motion picture as- sociates, hoping they will bo as new to you as thej were to me. And I've had a lot of fun getting this material together. Lionel Barrymore once supported a mutt dog in an animal picture. Norma Shearer's smiling face is the same one framed by an automobile tire in those early ada. "Time to Re- tire." Madge Evans was the little girl who sat on a' cake of sOfap once upon a time in the ads that asked you, "Have You a Little Fairy in Your Home?" Marion Davies was the model for Howard Chandler Christy's famous palling, "Morning," and Mar- '.ene Dietrich was training to be a concert violinist in Germany until an injury to her hand changed her profession. John Barrymore never walks under a ladder and never looks at the moon over his left sLoulder. Ronald Col- man arrived in New York from Eng- land with a capital of $37. But his luck has changed since those days. Constance Bennett is an ardent fight fan, but always covers her eyes when a fighter is knocked out. Sylvia Sid- ney reads books on medicine and can name every bone on your body, and Ruth Chatterton, now at the top of her profession, once lived en 20 cents a day while looking for work during leaner years. Mr. George -Arliss takes two lumps of sugar and lemon in his afternoon tea. Mary Pickford never sits at the head of her own table when she entertains at dinner. Harold Lloyd ig a member of the Magicians' Club and can do one hundred card tricks. Tom Mi.x worked as a target for a icuife- thrower when he was only 7 years old. Roland Young was named .»fter grand- mother's pet Canary, which died the day he was born. Gloria Swanson when she was broke, borrowed enough money to hire a private railway car so she could arrive in California in style and impress the natives, and Charlie Chaplin, who began as a pie- thrower in comedies, refused to appear at a command performance before the Kin^ and Queen of England. It often amused me to watch the pet economies of some of the screen stars. Bill Powell, for instance, saves rubber bands. Bob Mont- gomery always shaves himself. Groucho Marx smokes a "prop" cigar while at work. Dudley Digges has worn the same tweed suit in eight pictures. Nelson Eddy learned to sing by listening to phonograph rec- ords. Nat Pendelton has worn the same artificial gardenie for the last two years. Director Richard Bol- pslawski takes his own lunch to work. Lots of the stars have their birth- days on holidays. For intance. Mar- ion Davies' birthday is on New Year's Day. Stuart Erwin's falls on Val- entine's Day. Wallace Beery's on April Fools' Day. Robert Young's on Washington's Birthday. Vincent Burnett's on the Fourth of July. Pat O'Brien and Roland Y'oung's on .Arm- istice Day and Helen Twelvetrees .on Christmas. The "Gay'' Nineties' R. M. Harrison, Windsoi Star columnist, wonders with a good many other people why the nine- ties were ever considered "gray." ADVANCE U NDER FIRE r ''V ,. ,*^- ^ -^t*^ *^-^««-C-^ »r â- â™¦iSiJ^' Certainly it -.annot have been be- eaoae of the daring nature of the bathing attire of that period for that affected by women and giria was as follows, according to Mr. Harrison: "As a foundation, the young woman who would take a jamp in the lake donned a corset. Over that, a flannel blou.se of black with a wide sailor collar buttoned close to the chin, and sleeves to the elbow. The collar had a thin edg- ing of white. Otherwise, the co»- tuni« was deeply melancholy. There were stockings to be sure â€" one function of the corset was to hold 'era up. Over the stockings were loose and baggy bloomers of Heavy wool, pleated at the top so that they' added three thicknesses of cloth around the waist' and hips. Orar, the bloomers was a skirt that hanci well below the knees to the tops ofj the high-laced bathing shoes. And the head was encased in a cap of heavy black silk." â€" (Brockville Re- corder. ) Four Pair of Twins In Four Years Is Surely a Record Portn^uf Couple Have Had Thirteen Children in Eight Years â€" Eleven Cribs In One Room. POITNEUF, Que. â€" Mrs. Phillipe Frenette of Portneuf probably regrets she does not live in Toronto where she would be an outstanding candidate in the $500,000 Millar will baby race. Married eight years to a local mer- chant, Mrs. Frenette last week grave birth to her 12th and 1.3t.h.chikl, both boys. Toronto mothers with 10 child- ren in 10 years stand a good chance of winning the Millar "stork derby." Twins are not new to Mr. and Mrs. Frenette. They have had four pairs in the past four years and five since they were married. The newest have been named Michel and Marcel and at present are the pride of the family. Michel weigh; six pounds eight ozs., while his larger brother weighs seven pounds nine ounces. Age Oft am I by the women told, "Poor Anacreon! thou growest old; Look! how thy hairs are falling all; Poor Anacreon, how they fall!" â€" Whether I grow old or no, By the effects I do not know.
