FATTY ARBUCKLE "SHERIFF'
 IN A NEW COMEDY

Fearless sheriffs of gUn-fighting losing their historical laurels since Roscoe Fatty" Arbuckle has strap ped huge cartridge belt around his ample waist with swinging holsters revealing two wicked looking six shooters, and placed a shiny silver star displaying the redoubtable badge of office uI on his gaudy shirt
 In his new comedy, ''The Sheriff, tFatty'' is performing such wild and reckless stunts that the untamed cow punchers and bandit MeXicans, who add considerable atmosphere to the picture, are beginning to suspect that the jovial comedian is a bad man of reputation. In fact his activities on the Mexican street set have caused favorable comparison with the sher- ifs whO at one time, made such gay communities as Dodge City, Butte, Deadwood, or Mad Dog Gulch ex- tremeIy unhealthy and unpopular 4@hEh the gentlemen who wore chips on their shoulders.
 "The Sheriff" is heralded as the widest and wooliest burlesque of life on the Mexican border as pictured by the usual motion picture melodrama. Supporting Fatty Arbuckle will be the largest comedy cast he has ever used in a picture. Despite the rest loving character of the average Mex ican extra man, the indefatigable TO- tund un-maker says that for the time of making this comedy there will be no such word as "manana" al lowed on the set.

 No-she doesn't keep her money behind the clock or hidden under Q. loose brick in the fireplace either.
 She simply turns over everything to mOther-iust as she used to in the days when she was making eighteen dollars q week. She confessed it the other day when she was asked to buy some boxes for a benefit.
 "In be glad to take them if you'll trust me-" she said, 'I have not enough money with me-
 "A check is as good as money" it was suggested.
 Miss Talmadge shook her head with a smile. Il never had check book in all my life" she said, and I've never had bank account But wait a minute
 She went to the phone and asked mother to write out one for her and it transpired that mother had retained the habit of the eighteen dollar-a-week days, too, that of re- fusing daughter nothing. Which is more than a bank account will do They refuse checks lots of times.

 Tn one of the first scenes the hero of the story, played by Farnum, has to run his automobile through a fence thrown across a road by a highway man. Director Will $. Davis ex- plained the scene and Farnum took his place at the wheel of his ma chine
 Now. don't risk serious injury," cautioned Davis. We can stop the camera when you reach the gate and then pick you LID after we have smashed it and you have gone through"
 Farnum just grinned, threw in the clutch and dashed straight for the gate. while the camera man ground away Actor and auto went flying through the wooden barrier, splinter ing it, and Farnum wasn't even shaken up.
 ! You can't scare me with a picket fence,' grinned Farnum, after it was 1 over. I'm so used to springing on the ] backs of running horses that a tame auto is nothing by comparison. Be sides, I only scratched the radiator 1 a little bit
 And now the director is beginning l to believe that if he asks Farnum tC
