The answer is easy. Adopt a "to-

Ruby La Fayette. who plays the
leading role in Mother o. Mine, at the
Strand theatre on Monday and Tues
in the early sixties. She played in
dramatic stock when permanent
companies were headed by travelling
stars, and eventually became one of
these stars herself. She supported
Booth. Barrett and John Mccullough,
and, finally, organized her own COM
pany and for years starred through
out the country. Fifteen years ago
she retired from the stage and her
appearance in moving pictures came
about entirely by accident and not,
on her part through design. Miss
La Fayette was visiting her daughter
in Los Angeles and as part OF her
sight seeing" did what every visitor
to the city of Angels does-she made
q trip to Bluebird studios, at Univer-
sal City. Rupert Julian was then
preparing for Mother o. Mine, and
when he clapped his eyes upon Miss
La Fayette, as she strolled around the
premises, he Immediately fixed upon
her as his type" for the mother role.
Arrangements were soon completed
and thus it comes that Ruby La Fay
cite, an actress of the old school, at
the age of Y. received her initiation
to camera acting. While Mr.. Julian
and Ruth Clifford will be stars of
Mother o. Mine, Miss La Fayette
will share the honors in attracting
the sympathetic attention of all be-
holders.
A special treat is in store for the
many admirers of Douglas Fairbanks
in his newest Aircraft picture, The
Man from Painted Post, coming to
the GarriCk theatre next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. The script
for this photoplay was written by
Douglas himself and is based on
Jackson Gregory's recent. magazine
story, Silver Slippers. In the role of
Fancy Jim Sherwood, the immacu-
late dude who wipes out a powerful
gang of cattle rustlers, the smiling
star offers a aracterization that
will meet with popular favor among
patrons of clean pictures.
Bucking bronchos, crack riding,
trick roping and bulldogging steers
are among the interesting features
