HERREHT RAwLINsoN.

Herbert RawIinson. the clever and de-
servedly popular young leading man with
the Universal Film Company, owes his
position in the moving picture world to
| his own indomitable pluck and perse-
| yerance. for apart from his manifest
physical and mental attributes, there was
Just as hard row for him to hoe as for
many others who have tried and sue
ceeded in the great motion picture field.
He was born in Brighton. England, and
received the most of his education there,
then followed three years in France at
the College OF St Servan, in the town OF
that name. returning to England with a
thorough mastery Of the French Ian
guage. which has stood him in good stead
in his many years Of stock experience in
this country.
II was the desire Of his parents to
have him enter Cambridge and study for
one Of the learned professions, but young
Herbert had then. as he has now, a will
of his own. He failed to see the advan-
tage of a university degree, and finally
prevailed upon his parents to enter the
Naval Rserye.
Three years in the service developed
mind and body. The young reservist rev.
eled in athletic and aquatic sports and
at twenty-one held three English ana
championships 5NAAAos AOAA
mile and long distance swimming.
Shortly after. he came to America,
where he decided upon the stage as a
profession. This desire had been instilled
in him when a boy in London, where he
played a small part with Hayden Cofyn
In the old Drury Lane Theater in Robin
Hood" His advance was rapid. The
small repertoire show giving way to big
ger things. he allowed no obstacle to
IL -
what he was after. He has had that
splendid training wich is only acquired
through long stock experience. his last
most important engagement being at the
old Belasco Theater under Oliver Mo-
rosco.
1t vas at this time that the Selig Poly
scope company was establishing itself
strongly In Los Angeles. Hobart Bos-
worth, then director OF the Selig forces.
persuaded Herbert to leave the legitimate
for the movies, hence his advent into pic
lures His strong athletic ability, COM
bined with his wonderfully optimistic na-
ture, soon won him the regard Of all his
associates and he has performed many
daring feats, but has never yet cried
quits
After two years with Selig there fol-
lowed a special engagement with the Bos-
worth Incorporated as Humphrey Van
weyden in the eight-reel production of
Jack London's Sea Wolf" It vas then
that the Big U reached out for the young
star and placed him at the head OF the
Otis Turner Feature Company.
Among the many successes achieved by
Rawlinson, under Mr.. Turner'S direction,
may be mentioned:
THE Law OF His Kind" Capt Jenny,
s. A." Across the Veldt-' "On the
VERGE of War" The Spy" and last and
DyyfbiaS in aFDauann and

Mr.. Rawlinson has throughout his
strenuous career kept his love for athletic
and field sports, and there are few more
virile, athletic, mental and physically
perfect members of the ever-growing
moving picture profession than the laugh

FAMOUS
WOMEN
Her
Birthday
And
Yours
October l7-Pez Wo6nRtou.

Today is the 2Ooth anniversary of the
birth of Peg Woffington. There may be
some mistake about the year-Peg may
have made herself out to be younger
than she really was-but October II re-
mains her birthday. OF all actresses who
have ever stepped before the footlights
there probably never was one whose life
possesses greater romance and adventure
than does that Of Irish Peg Wellington.
She was born in Dublin, of lowly parent
age. Her father was a bricklayer, but
he does not seem to have followed his
calling faithfully. for at his death he
was awarded a pauper's burial and his
only heritage to bis poor widow was his
debts and an infant daughter. The
widow went to work as a waitress in
miserable place in Dublin, with Oc-
casional work as a fruit huckster in
the marketplaces.
Meantime the poor widow had an op-
portunity to allow her little daughter to
help in the task Of winning a living,
A Nine. ViOlante, who appeared in vaude-
vile turns in a Dfblin tent theater. ad-
vertised for a couple of babies. She
was tght-rope walker and she con-
ceived the idea Of walking tight rope
with baby tied on each foot. Pegs
mother saw the advertisement and, in
spite Of the hazards involved, offered
Peg for the position The baby was ac-
cepted and the poor widow gladly pocket
ed the few pence a week which Nine
Violante offered.
This was Pegs first appearance on the
stage. Her next work was as a vender
OF green vegetables. When she was ten
years old she again went to work for
Nine. Violante in a vaudeville perform
ance calling for some slight acting. This
was really Pegs first Introduction to the
ways Of the stage.
Peg continued to act, at first simply
because that was the only way she knew
OF earning living, and success came
slowly. It was -Rot-till she was twenty
six that she made her London debut. At
once she became the talk of the town.
Her dazzling Irish beauty, her spirits
her impudenee and her wichery fascinat-
ed all who saw her, Triumphs seemed
to pour in upon her. She played in all
the popular parts Of the time. but especI-
ally well did she appear in plays Hike
As You Like It, where she had to
appear in mans attire.
Peg had many Of the faults and MANY
OF the virtues of her profession. She
was generous to fault. She was liberal
minded and always ready to give her
heip to those in need. At the same time
she had violent temper and was sub
Ject to tantrums' that were most try-
ing to her theatrical managers. Her
private character was what one might
expect from one who had had her early
handicaps The great David Garrick was
for years her. acknowledged lover and
would have married her. He had even
bought the wedding ring and won Pegs
consent to a legal marriage. But the
wedding didn't come on. II was whis-
pered that Pegs temper had got the
best OF her and that It was all for one
OF her Irish tantrums that she did not
become Mrs David Garrick.

THE BEANS We BAKE.

To most American housewives dried
beans mean but one thing-baked beans,
baked beans. and always baked beans.
II Is really a ply, for beans of this
sort are among the most economical OF
foONs II would be a good idea Of the
housewife whose task is to exercise strict
economies to set herself the task OF
discovering at least one new way each
week OF preparing one OF the cheap. in
expensive articles Of food.
Bean Omelet-AIlow a cupful OF white
beans TO steep in cold water for eight
hours. Then boil It'll soft, and mash with
a cupful Of milk and put through a wire
sieve. Now add two tablespoonfuls of
finely pulverized bread crumbs and the
yolks and white OF four eggs beaten sep
Rrately. a little butter and mix lightly.
Pour all into a baking dish and bake for
three-quarters Of an hour or over.
English Baked Beans-The English
rule for baked beans calls for one pint
OF beans. to be soaked In cold water for
ten hours. Then strain the water and
put the beans in a saucepan and cover
with boiling water. Add pound of corn
beef or a pound of salt pork and boil
all till the beans are beginning to split
This will take from half hour to an hour.

Baked with Tomatoes-A variation on

dish and add enough stock to keep moist
In the middle Of the dish put several
slices Of streaky bacon and over the top

An Economy Hint-Never throw away
the water in which Fny sort OF dried
beans have been soaked or boiled. It
contains valuable food products and
should be used as the foundation Of soup
stock. The same thing holds true OF the
water In which any sort of vegetable has

You don't read Of It, for example, in

that name has had a great deal to do
with the way in which American women
are dressing this season.
Dame Fashion has shown a liking for
the variety Of costumes worn in Persia.

family with the outlandish name

On the program one may read that
the costumes were designed by Eric
Pape, the famous artist, and made by
court tailors TO the late Shah. It may
be added that the costumes are the most
beautiful ever seen on the American
stage. The men in question are sons of
Baron HSIraper Khan Shahboodaghian,
leader Of the fashions in Persia, who In
his estabtshment in the city of Urmia
has created the costly garments worn by
the Persian aristocracy. Muzaffer-el-

Each season has its favorites in the
realm Of trimming. This season beads
have received the approval of fashion
and Of fashions followers. Beads are
used everywhere; and it may be added
they are exploited to the modistic ad-
vantage of the designers and the wear
ers.
II you are appreciative Of beauty in
the final touches on millinery, dresses
or accessories, look at the beadwork and
then insist on its use in your dress.
First, it is coIorfuI and, secondly, it can
be designed to fit and decorate any space
on any article of apparel. The Infinite
variety of beadwork makes ii capable
of adaptation on all types of dress and
so simple is it in the working out of
designs that any woman who can WELD
a needle can make it for herself IL the
bought ornaments are pFohibitory in
price. And there's a suggestion for you:
Make an additional decolation on the
bought dress.
On the attractive serge dresses that are
overlooking the streets just now bead
work will be especially good. The broad
belts that encircle the waist can be en-
broidered at the front and back with
beads. Any conventional design will an
swer the purpose. Basic a piece of paper
on which the design has been drawn.
Sew through the tissue paper and after
the beads and silk have been firmly at
tached pull away the paper.
Plastrons of beads can be made in a
similar manner. and tassels formed of
strings of beads loopsd up and fastened
to button or cord disk are very effect
i've and easily made.
The scattered bead embroidery that
decorates so successfully the afternoon
blouse is made in a simple outline stitch
with heavy silk on which are strung
at intervals the beads. Roses, leaves,
conventional forms and tie Greek key
design are important They are appear
ing on the exquisite models and can be
copied without trouble.
