Hobbies of the
Folks Who Make the
Reel Hobbies for
Other Folks

Tom Ince Is quoted in a recent
motion picture magazine as saying
that the phOtoplay business has
Gone forward faster than any in
dustry I'm the world, and he speci-
fically mentioned the automobile
as one of the industries that had
been distanced. II Mr.. Ince had
been questioned further he might
also have said it was not the fault
of the stars OF the mo ton picture
that the automobile industry had
been distanced by the pictures.
There is probably no class of
people in the country which has
larger part of its capital invested
in automobiles than the motion
picture actors. There is hardly
star who hasn't Il machine that has
individual characteristics. Those
stars who don't like to go in for
motors on the wholesale, like
William Farnunl. for instance, who
counts his cars by the flock, have
them especially prepared for-them.
And IL some star gets one that
seems to he particularly comfort
able, his or her associates inImc-
diately try to get the same kind
and improve a bit on the original
design. Likewise, when the press
agent learns of il the cars take on
qualities never thought of by their
owners.
Dorothy Bernard Van Buren,. in
telling a group OF friends of a new
car which her husband A. II. Van
Buren,, of the Poll Players. gave her
only a few weeks ago, said IL was so
prettily fitted up that she could make
a dressing room of II by pulling
down the curtains and turning on
the electric lights. The press agent
got this story and invented
kitchcneNe and all the appurte-
nEnces of a housekeeping apartment
except a cold-hearted ianitor! This
car. by the way. is the original OF
all the "dressing-room-o wheels"
stories that have since been started
about motion picture actresses.
Motors are the particular hobbies
of such stars as Dustin Farnum,
Bessie Barriscale. Kathlyn Will
Jams. Helen Ware. II. b. Warner.
Nat Goodwin. Mabel Normand. Orrin
johnson. Edna Goodrich. Blanche
uRing, Carlyle Blackwell, Blanche
Sweet. Charlotte Walker. and others.
There are other hoOhlec of the
stars Of the pictures, however-real
hobbies. For instance. Helen Ware,
who was once a swimming teacher,
loves an early-morning dip in the
Pacific. Miss Ware is also a base
ball fan. and never misses a game
when she can help 1t.
Ina Claire is a good hOrsewoman.

SCIENCE APPLIED TO
SHOW MANAGEMENT
Butch Cooper, Producer Of Bur-
Iesque, Attributes His
Success to 1t.

Scientific management is not apparent
but 1t Is a necessary part of every form
of entertainment that is given on a
stage. and the discovery of certain pr1n-
ciples of contrast Of a single character
with the surroundings frequently marks
the difference between success and fall
ure. in entertainment as well as in
finance.
Such Is the opinion of Butch Cooper.
the producer of burlesque. whose rise In
tho burlesque field has been rapid dur
ing the past few wears. and who bases
all his success on the observance Of this
one principle. Cooper's newest effort in
this line. THE Roseland Girls" at the
Gayety this week. Is an example of his
system Of production, The name of the
company and the people he has engaged
to carry out the suggestion OF beauty
and daintiness contained in the name
form the background for an eccentric
comedian. SollY Ward. whose appear
ance and methods are totally different
from those of anyone else In the pro-
duction.
This furnishes the contrast and in
dellblY stamps both the background and
the feature that 1t contrasts. The antics
OF Ward are given marked prominence
Dy the manner in which he is introduced
with a bevy Of pretty girls or Just after
an especially good sentimental song has
been sung by one of the members of the
company with an exceptional voice.
While this might be considered secur-
ing attention by mechanical methods.
it Is really an excellent idea for the
patron Of the entertainment as II gives
him fair return for his investment in
ticket and because the competition
among the companies doing the same
thing makes 1t necessary for the man
agement to provide the best sort OF
talent for both sides of the contrast
In the case of THE Roseland Girls, -
Manager Cooper has provided a group
of young women who are pretty. young.
and can sing. as the background for
Ward. who is a real comedian. and who
areDars first as a German and later in
the Hebrew makeup. which Is peculiarly
Wards own invention

Washington, Nov. 2.-State depart.

Great Importance is attached to

AS far as is known the United

such procedure as directly contrary

SOME WARM STUFF
Messrs. Bell, Smith and Nugent Dis
cuss their Comparative Merits
as Democrats

Editor Star: I notice with inte~-
est your recent article on Breaking
Up the Democratic Party" and notice
that you charge the Rev. S. ]. Tom
Cat with this attempt, in which you
are entirely correct. You state in
your article that the Cattsites and the
republicans have entered into COM
bination to defeat two of our local
democratic nominees, Alfred Aver
and P. H. Nugent and that all good
loyal democratic voters should stand
by the nominees. l am and have al
ways voted the democratic ticket,
both state and national. As is Frank
Adams, independent candidate for
sheriff, so is the Rev. Tom Cats both
boilers of the democratic party, and
] am informed and believe it to be
true that P. H. Nugent, this the dem
ocratic party's nominee for clerk of
the circuit court, has contributed
money to the campaign fund of the
Rev. S. j. Tom Cats, the bolter and
independent candidate for governor
against the regular nominee, w. V.
Knott; that the said Nugent has stat
ed that he would not vote for w. v.
Knott if he should be the nominee
of the democratic party or be so de-
clared the party's nominee; that he
will support Frank Adams, bolter and
independent candidate for sheriff
against Galloway, regular democratic
nominee, that the said Nugent has
stated in the conduct of the peoples
office he holds given to him by the
white democratic party of this county
that he preferred to deal with or
transact the business of his Office with
negro than white mani
1t is street talk that the present
county judge, w. E. Smith, is offer
ing to bet DIETING on elections being
prohibited by law that the Rev. S. J.
Tom Cats will be elected governor
and that he, the said Judge Smith
when asked declines to state whether
he expects to vote for w. V. Knott,
regular democratic nominee or in
tends to vote for the Rev. S. J. Tom
Cats and Frank Adams, both boilers
of the democratic party!
So please tell me wherein I, dem
ocrat, should vote for P. H. Nugent
for clerk or Smith for Judge, when it
is apparent that they are intending to
bolt the democratic party and to sup
port these two boilers, Rev. Tom
Cats and Frank Adams?
Yours, Joseph Bell,
A Loyal Democrat Until Nov. 9th,
but Afterwards I Know Not What.
P. S.-Isn't each man who supports
an Independent candidate for an Office
against the regular democratic nom-
inee just as much bolter as the can
didate, and isn't the democrat who
stays home on election day just as
much a bolter as the other two? I
think so, and would like to know what
you think about it. Joseph Bell.

BUSINESS is BETTER
Superintendent Ribble of the Postal
Sees Great Prosperity Ahead
for the South


Superintendent G. w. Ribble of the
Postal Telegraph company arrived in
Ocala today from Atlanta, to inspect
new line which the Postal company
lis building north from Ocala, and
which will be completed the first of
next week.
This will add materially to the
telegraphic facilities of Ocala, MAX
ing outlets in three directions over
the Postal system. The new line goes
by way of Mcintosh, where an Office
will probably be opened in a short
time.
In discussing general business con-
ditions, Mr.. Ribble said to the Star
reporter: "While the tax upon our
facilities is of course greatest in the
manufacturing east and food produc-
ing and exporting west, business has
increased satisfactorily in the South,
and we are preparing for unprece-
dented demands, as soon as the Euro
pean war is over, permitting the re-
lease of munition carrying vessels to
turn to the movement of southern
timber, phosphate, cotton and other
products. My company is especially
confident regarding the development
Of Florida" he added, "as is evidenced
by the fact that it has more than
doubled it's wire mileage in this state
within the past five years, and has
further extensions and investments in
view"
Among the more recent additions
to the Postal's Florida connections
are Leesburg and Barlow. Mr.. Rib
ble's boyhood years were spent in
Florida, and he has taken senti-
mental and especial interest in the de-
velopment of competitive telegraph
service in the state of his early adop-
ton.
