Actor Won job Win Fairbanks
Thru Perseverance and Genius

Douglas Fairbanks receives on
an average 10 letters a day from
film patrons who feel they would
like to take up the profession OF
film acting. He always answers
these letters, giving his correspon-
dents good advice on the subject,
which is usually to the effect that
the field Is at present oyer-crowd-
ed with professionals, let alone
amateurs.
Recently it was discovered that
one very persistent man from
Iowa would not be discouraged.
His weekly letters were of such
original composition that they at
tracted more than passing notice
and after discussing the matter
with Director Emerson, the Art
craft star decided to send for
Charles p. McHugh, the gentle
man in question, and give him the
greatly desired chance.
Upon his arrival at the studio
McHugh made such hit with
Fairbanks that he was Immediate
ly given an opportunity in Down
to Earth" the stars latest COM
edy. He proved a born actor, and
the part of DR.. Small was built up
for him.
Thus runs the tale of the erst-
while Iowa clerk, which must be
considered in the light of mira
Gle, as in nine eases out of ten
the discouraged amateurs would
be ever more discouraged after
seeing their initial efforts before
the camera. 1t is understood that
McHugh's job is permanent, how

Bud Fisher Has Neuer Been In
Studio Where Mutt and Jeff
Animated Pictures Are Made

The elaborate technique re-
CURED to make the Katzenjam-
mer Kids, Gertie, the Family
Dinosaur, Colonel Heeza Liar, and
other creations of the cartoonist' S
pen go thru their amusing stunts
on the screen, is the subject of an
article by Homer Croy in Every
body's for September.
when an animated series is
completed, there are something
like two thousand drawings ON
calendered paper about the size OF
typewriter sheets, making alto
gether pile lighter than a mans
head. Each sheet is numbered.
clear thru the two thousand, and
then turned over to the photogra-
pher, who works with his camera
suspended over his drawings in
stead of set on tripod.
when il is understood how
complicated the process is, and
how, even with the most elaborate
backgrounds, two thousand draw
ings are required to make five
hundred feet of film, then one
understands better the difference
between an originating and an
animating artist and why Bud
Fisher never makes single one
of the film cartoons that bear
his name. Nor does Rube Gold
Der or Tom Powers. If they did,
we'd see about six of their films
a year instead of one a week.
THE artist conceives the funny
situation, or possibly only the
character, and the animator does
the rest In fact, an artist, after
having conceived the character,
often doesn't know what is being
drawn. Bud Fisher has never
been in the studio where his Mutt
and Jeff film are being made. A
man whom the public knows a
great deal less about gives us our
weekly Mutt and Jeff. He is Raoul
Barre.
"But Mr.. Barre doesn't do il
alone-not at the rate of five hun
dred feet a week. Not by some
four hundred and eighty-odd feet.
He has so artists working for him,

1t has been a number of years
since the welterweights received
very much notice.
Back in the days of Cans, Mel
son, Britt and Wolgast there were
too many good lightweights and
not enough good welters to attract
particular attention.
Joe. Wolcott established such q
reputation for his decision that
other welters could not live up to
1t and the class languished.
Later on big fellows like Packey
Mcfarland refused to call them
selves welters, although they could
not make the lightweight lirnit
and when Richie and Welsh held
the lightweight title there was no
welterweight division. as these
boxers were really welters.
