And He Gets Paid, Too!

Will some gentleman kindly step up and relieve Harry Hilliard of the arduous task of having his manly bosom used as a pillow.
 Such a request would undoubtedly fall on open ears and some one would be sure to get hurt in the crush.
 Poor Harry Hilliard, bringing dainty Elinor Fair home from a social func- ton, found that the young lady had forgotten to provide herself with a key and none of the servants could be awakened. Miss Fair was very tired and sleepy, but the night was balmy, the moon was bright, and there was convenient bench under an ornamental lamp post. What is more natural than for Harry and Elinor to sit down to wait and for the young lady to give way to her fatigue and rest her head on Billiards 3S inch chest?
 No doubt such an incident has often occurred, but by this time it happens to be scene from "The Girl in the Mirror Universal produc- ton based on Elizabe Jordan's pop ular novel of that name, being pro- duced at the finn capital under the di- rection of Jack Ford. Frank Mayo l; has the stellar role in this feature
 with Miss Fair and MT. Hilliard in 1 i'm portant roles.

EMPIRE

One of the curious scenes in "The Beggar Prince the RobertsonCole Superior picture, with Sessue Haya kawa as star, which is opening at the Empire theatre today for a run of two days, is that in which the prince orders an eclipse of the moon. The ''eclipse" is caused by making the moon go behind a cloud, which seems enough to satisfy the bigoted prince. who fancies that he rules nature as well as his kingdom.
 The Haworth camera man, who was commissioned to get the t'eclipse" waited for four nights before obtain ing just what he wanted for this un- usual scene. William Worthing tor directed '"The Beggar Prince" which gives the Oriental star opportunity to play two parts, that of a wicked prince, who later reforms. and that of a poor fisherman who occupies the throne long enough to demonstrate how the country should be run.
 The eclipse" scene is only one of the many unusual ones in this fantasy with an intensely human story. Wis tas of the picturesque fisher village where the action takes place, and of the princes palace add additional scenes which make ''The BegsaE i Prince" a picture of extraordinary beauty.

Besides religious services, the church will provide a center available at all times to the motion picture colony for dances, meetings and social activities. Talking over his plans with Bert Lytell, the rector chuckled when the | latter said:
 "A motion picture church should prove great drawing card for the tourists, who visit Los Angeles. They would all attend church Sunday morning to catch a glimpse of the screen stars.''
 Before he left for the East Max

Ain't That
 Awful, Mildred!

Poor Mildred Davis! The leading lady of the Harold Lloyd comedies has an automobile lon her hands, She had what she thought was a high class chauffeur, although she twice paid his fine for breaking the speed laws. When he was guilty of the third offense, however, he passed out of her young life. Under the laws of California a driver who breaks the law three times is barred from further operations of the steering wheel for the period of a year. And so, pending the selection of a new chauffeur, pretty Mildred has had to drive her own car. Now isn't that awful?

How Harry
 Carey Keeps Fit

To put a punch into a picture a man must have one himself. That's Harry Carey's idea of it and he spends certain amount of time each day developing his punch and keeping it in working order.
 The strenuous, outdoor life, the film cowboy leads in starring in west ern dramas produced at Universal City, makes it necessary for the screen favorite to keep himself in excellent physical condition.
 When the audience sees him come out on top in a screen brawl it isn't solely because the director planned it that way. Carey believes in being able to take care of himself whether or not the camera is looking.

When I was eight years old,'' says Ernest Truex, who is presented on the screen by Amedee J. Van Beuren, "I travelled about the country with a little girl seven years old, enacting scenes from Shakespeare's plays: Romeo and Juliet The Merchant of Venice,' As You Like It. A Mid Summer Nights Dream,' Hamlet and others. As the years passed on I did not seem to grow to be a six-footer, which height is usually required to be successful william or hero. So, with my young appearance there was but one thing for me to do and that was to drift into comedy. This seems to be my forte and I play fun making roles both on the stage, and in pic- fIIreS

FIRE DESTROYS
 CITY DWELLING

Fire, believed to have started in the kitchen of a house in upper Tombstone canyon owned by Gus Haigler and occupied by William Carver, completely consumed the house and contents about 9:30 o'clock last night. Bisbee No. answered the call and made an excellent run but lost 20 minutes in running the water through the pumps of the en- zine after it had already been con- nected to the hydrant. The city res ervoir. which supplies the water for fires, was but little higher than the house and consequently there was no pressure in the hose until after 1t was run through the pumps.
 Mrs. Carver and two children are visiting in Fl Paso and Carver, who is a carpenter, was not at home. The fire was discovered by neighbors about 9:30 p. m. but it was entirely destroyed before water could reach it. There was no wind at the time and surrounding houses were in no immediate danger. The house was completely covered by insurance but it is not known whether or not any of the contents were insured. Noth- ing was saved from the house ana among the things that were destroy ed was a handsome upright piano which was practically new.

Raising of recruits by Poland under Paderewski before the United States entered the war, IL was recalled, was agreed to by the American government, and many Poles enlisted to fight under the al lies and were removed from the Unit ed States and trained in Canada and abroad.

 He will be accompanied by w. B. Robbins, acting chief of the division of Near Eastern affairs, who has been temporarily assigned as chancellor of the legation.
 The official communique announc- ing the intention of France to recog- nize as a de facto government, that represented by General WrangeI ;n southern Russia, was. received tocay.
 It says that a French diplomatic agent will be sent to Sebastopol, with the title of high commissioner.
 Administration officials consider the Frech step as logical, in view of the succession of General Wrangel to the authorities of Admiral Kolchak and the Omsk government, which was rec ognized by both France and Great | Britain.
 | Without fOreshadowing similar step by the United States, officials declared that the action of France was in no way inconsistent with the policy toward Russia advocated in the ! American note to Italy. The Amer | ican government. it was recalled while not having recognized Kolchak it at one time endeavored ot place Kolchak in position " in which he might be recognized"
