Howard Hickman. who has been playing in & heavy part with Dorothy Dalton at the Ince studio at Culver City, has found to his temporary embarrassment. The trouble is that the whiskers which Hickman wears in his scenes do not come off in the dressing room so that for several days he has been appearing with beard of several days growth. Razors are taboo until the film is completed and Hickmans face bristes heavily. Miss Bessie Barriscale, who is Mrs. Hickman in private life. refuses to be seen with him in public while the whislSers exist and Hickman spends his spare time at home reading and playing with the Hick- man kittens. At that, there are worse ways of spending leisure moments.
 
 When J. Warren Kerrigan, star of the Universal company, recently returned from the mountains south of San Diego to that city, he was accompanied by a huge appetite. Twelve days of rough work on scenes for ''The Silent Battle. with camp cooking, had given him a knawing feeling which he sought to ap- pease in the exposition city. That he succeeded admirably was shown by the size of his check, which was for s4 90 worth of real food.

quilted late yesterday afternoon in the

The court ruled that the premises of
Mrs kennett, where she conducted a
rooming house. are not such as are pro-
tected by the statute against unlawful

court, however, took occasion to de-
clare that the fact that the actions of

sanctioned by their superior officers is
no defense against violating the laws.
