TT THE statement of an eminent psy-
- chologist is TO be taken seriously that
nine out of every ten people in this
great big world are made miserable
because of the fear of superstition in
one form or another, Douglas Fair-
banks is doomed to be a mighty gloomy
ural days.
Doug may not have the regulation
Phi. ID. on his diplomas and it is GER
tain that he never delved very deeply
along the lines of belief in supernatural
agencies; however, he disagrees with
the learned student and in his reply his
theory has taken II broadside ut super
stition in every phase, counting it out
for the full ten units in his forthcom-
ing production, "Wheu the Clouds Roll
By" featured next week at the Stan
ley.
1t may be that the dynamic Doug is
the tenth of one of the particular short
dozen embraced by the doctors remarks
because he hasn't lost even the Sugges
tion of the wrinkles in his smile, de-
spite his very harsh treatment of nu-
merous agencies involved in the super
stition clan.
JI1ALLACE REID, the handsome
w screen star, says he invented the
"shimmie." Here is his claim to fame (:

Yellowstone with party of friends. |
forged out alone on a deer track, To-
Gated the animal, and wounded it. But
I had to follow it so far before it drop

ings and had to finish the night in a
morning exactly half the deer was gone
Il got to thinking and the more |
thought the more trembly | became.
At precisely that moment | invented the
'shimmie.' Around noou ] shot noun
tain lion. That renewed my train of
thought and | gave an encore of the
dance and perfected it. Suppose he haG
preferred me to the deer? Thank heaven
for luck -

Major Barlow is a well known figure

commission, and was dispatched to
France soon afterward. He received
his promotions as the result of meri :
torious service in action With Major
Robert Warwick he shares the honor
of being the only screen actor TO reach
that high rank. W.
An interesting coincidence in connec =
tion with the filming of the Phillips
Oppenbeim novel of the same name was
the fact that both Major Barlow and
( original company which toured the
country in the old play 'The Land oI
Cotton.n The two met at the studio

story. 1t first appeared in magazine
form as n serial under the title of -

WILL ROGERS, the Goldwyn star
w of previous cowboy roping, laria
throwing comedian and Ziegfeld Follie
fame, will be the feature at the Palac
week Of January 5, when he will appea
in ''Jubilo." 1t is the picturized yer
sion of story by Ben Ames William
which was published in the Saturda

ness bring out their own reward in thi
newest Rogers photoplay. In this pic
ture the charm of the ex- cowboy an
musical comedy favorite finds full scor
in the character of misunderstood
hobo .. 1t is just the sort OF role tina
Rogers is peculiarly fitted to bring t
life. The cast supporting Mr.. Roger
in "Jubilo" consists of four principal
besides the star. Each character is
distinct type. Josie Sedgwick is th
loyable heroine; Charles French, h'
4 father the victim of plot to impriso
him; James Mason, a confirmed jail
bird; and Willard Louis, a roly pol
comedian whose mission in life seen
to be making other folks happy. Clar
