MEN starr. MOSTLY LARGE
Actors Average More Than 200
Pounds, While Women Aver
erage 100.

Despite tho supposed to be that
this is a euffragist age. the man
screen star is much more Of an actor
than the woman screen star is an
actress!
There arc quite Il lot of motion
picture patrons who will take cxcep-
tion to this statement. hut the fact
Is that the male OF the species Is
twice as much an actor as the female.
In fact. the average man star
on the picture screen weighs some
Ing over 200 pounds and the average
woman star under 100 poundsl
One of the remarkable things that
strikes the average picture patron
who sees a screen star In person
for he first time Is the bigness OF
the men and the Smallness of the
women. Most Of the women stars OF
the screen are little women.
That they do not weigh loo pounds is
not due to anv lack of plumpness,
but to their smallness of stature.
This relates particularly to those who
have made their regulations in mo-
ton pictures exclusively.
The men, on the other hand. are
most big chaps. Henry Walthall Is
an exception. lie Is rather a small
man, short of stature and light Of
build. But Bushman Baggott. Kerri-
gan. Jack Richardson, Hart. Farnum,
are all exceptionally big. broad
shouldered and deep chested men.
What They Weigh.
Mary Pickford Is just about five
feet tall and weighs under 100 pounds.
Francis Dushman Is slightly more
than six feet and weighs 1876 pounds
when in good training. as he mostly
Is. Walthall Is five feet six inches
