New-York tribune., 1918-08-18
By Harriette Underhill

Every one believes that VIII Rogers
just talks along and says anything he
happens to think of when he gets out
in front Of the populace and swings
his lassoo. But we never believed it.
1t sounded tco spontaneous to be the
real article and we believed that his
up-to- the-minute talks were carefully
prepared speeches culled from the
final, four-star editions of the evening
papers, which come out early enough in
the morning to be useful even on ma
tinee days.
However, since we went over to the
Goldwyn Studio and talked with Mr.
Rogers we know that we were all wrong
Some of the things which he said. the
funniest ones. we can't print. 1t
wouldn't be fair. But there were
plenty to choose from.
We met Mr.. Rogers in the long cor
rdor which leads from the restaurant
to the dressing room.
GOSH" he said. 81 never, felt so
important in my life. Think of any
ones coming over here to interview me!

With Laughing Bill Rogers

But | wish you had gone over to see
me at the New Amsterdam Theatre
That's why're shine-with the ladies'
l tell you I'm so gosh darned popular
ever there! They're all crazy over me
-Marilyn Miller and Ann Pennington
and the lot of 'em.
"And did you see me all dressed
up and hear me sing my new song
from the box over at the 'Follies'? OF
course, Pm not quite as handsome as
Lillian Lorraine, but l think I can
sing just as we'll, don't you? Now, sup
pose you wait for two minutes while
l go and make myself look like a cater
pillar l got to creep along wall
without being detected"
It's an all day trip to the Goldwyn
Studio, some routes, so we used our
two minutes to get some ham and eggs
in the studio restaurant. The chief
advantage of this operation is that
Frances serves the ham and eggs. We
oon't know what Frances's other name
is, but she is so beautiful that even Mr..
Goldfish noticed it and is going to star
her, SO the story goes.
When we got back to the set Mr..
Ropers was al nada IL +o 'ook Ike

of prison. "I've been hankerin' all my
life to break out of jail" he said, "but
l never could break in
Gee! amt it terrible to think Of
me posing in front of that machine
gun camera and a handsome younp
fellow like him standing back direct
ing the picture? ?" The handsome young
fellow was Hobart Henley, and the
picture is Laughing Bill Hyde" Res
Beach's story
"You know, l think Pm going to be
pretty bad in this thing. I'm no actor,
and this part calls for lot of sob
stuff that I don't think I'm going to
get away with. l only made the thing
because Rex Beach wanted me to. He
said Bill Hyde looked just like me. It
doesn't seem possible, but then 1 sup
pose he ought to know. Anyway,
hope I won't be as rotten as I think
I'm going to be-
'1'm right at home on the stage now.
If my stuff don't get over, why I

not weather breakin iron bars when
ne could just walk out of the back

And just as we were leaving Rogers
called out: "When you get back to the
office tell that critic you got over there
that he is the only critic that ever told
me why / was no good opening night.
l didn't need all the others to tell me

he told me where l missed out, and you

But, gee! when you make this you

You're just done for; that's all.
"The funny thing about the movies is
they're always don' things backward.
Why, coupla days ago l buried my
pal, Danny, over on the Palisades. He
fell over the cliff and got killed Just
after we broke out of the pen.
And now here we are just maxim

they're doin' and that it will all come

"Oh, yes," said Bill Rogers. "Ive

fa Boston. Mass.
 R6JHIs letter is written from the
 Headquarters of Uncle Sans
 great sea-training bureau in
 = the twelfth story of Boston's white custom house tower. It is ad- dressed to the young men of the United States and relates to a new profession for which the government has opened schools all over the country. At this writing thousands of men from 20, to 90 years old have entered these schools and they are undergoing the training that will fit them for a healthy, respecta- ble, profitable and pleasant life work. Tens of thousands more are needed and by the time the war closes the number of men engaged in the business will prob ably be 8N,o00. The profession I refer men in it are to be the officers and sail ors of our new merchant marine.
 According to speech made by Ed ward N. Hurley, chairman of the United States shipping board. our present plans call for 1soO0.OoO tons of new shipping. Exclusive Of tugs and barges, they in clude more than 200o new vessels, and these are only the beginning of what is bound to be the greatest merchant fleet of the world. MT. Hurley says that within the next three years we shall spend about s, ,o0o, Oooooo for ships, and that in 1920 we shall have a merchant < fleet aggregating S0o0,0o0 tons At the
