As the transcontinental limited oblig-
ingly deposited George McManus on the
Los Angeles station platform, the cele-
brated cartoonist creator of Bringing
Up Father" wondered for a moment if
he had been overcome by the heat. He
was confronted by stout person who
was the living image of his own brain
child, "Jiggs" Failing back in amaze
ment he found himself in the arms of
Maggie" There was no doubt about
it. Both were as natural as life, even
more so.
The cartoonist was recalled to his
senses by a ringing laugh from Mrs. Nc
Manus, who had just shaken hands with
Reggie Morris, director of the screen
versions of Bringing Up Father" Her
woman's wit had enabled her to get
the situation in a flash. Director Nor
rie had brought Jimmie Ray and Mar
garet Fitz Roy from the Christie stud
los in their wonderful "Jiggs" and Mag
gle" makeup to meet the train bearing
their creator across the continent.
.'Howdy. George said Jiggs, leaning
on his cane and eleyating his cigar at
a sharp angle with his face
Charmed TO meet you, | am sure
said Maggie. in her genteelest accents.
Camera" exclaimed Director Nor
ris--for the still man." quite by ac-
cident, happened TO be one of the Nc
Manus reception committee.
Big Crowd Gathers.
After that the crowd of Jiggs and
Maggie fans on the platform swelled so
rapidly that Director Morris ordered
immediate retreat 10 the studio whore
valuable lives and limbs would be safe.
Here an eager interviewer was accom-
modated with some suspicious facts.

Outdoor sports are the finest tonic
in the world for women of all ages,
if they only play as hard as many OF
them work, in the opinion of Miss Viola
Hanes, the pretty leading lady Of the
Associate Players, stock company at
the Palace theater.
Miss Hanes is now only 81 years OF
age, but her stage experience has been
Varied and aGtiye as t for hs a gaSt SIX
the stage since she was old enough to
talk. but it is only the past six years
that she has made it her profession.
Viola Hanes is a very hard person to
interview. The reason? She's so good
looking that one can't concentrate his
mind on the questions that one wants to
ask. When sought out by the inter
viewer. she was still wearing her costume
and makeup-yes, she uses makeup
and as a little French war bride, in
"Jim's Girl" presented the first part
of last week, she looked very loyable and
charming.
Likes the Hard Work.
Miss Hanes says that hard work is
the lot of any who would play in stock.
but it is fascinating work and she likes
it.
She is an ardent motorist. an expert
fisher, a good shot. an enthusiastic ca
noer and is an adept with a camera. She
is also an exceptionally good horsewom-
an and rider.
There is no better relaxation for any
woman than to indulge in some good,
clean lively outdoor sport after a hard
days work. she declares. and in the
vicinity of Great Falls. there are surely
wonderful opportunities. ! am proud
to be a member of this community. and
| know | am going to enjoy my summer
here immensely, and | shall enjoy skating
and hiking next winter.
Too Much Dancing.
TOO many girls in this age have their
only exercise on the ball room floor. ]
am fond of dancing, but that is not the
only form of exercise one needs. And
more real enjoyment may be had from
a good canter on horseback through the
hills or a hike In the woods. or a long
auto ride. in one day than can be had
in a ballroom in a week"
Although Miss Hanes works in the thea
ter until nearly midnight, and is back
at rehearsal at 1890 every morning, she
still finds time to keep up her practice
of hard outdoor activities, and since her
arrival in Great Falls several weeks ago
has hiked in nearly all the mountains
in a radius of 35 miles of the city, has
motored extensively and has an excep-
tionally fine lot of views which she has
taken about the surrounding hills with
her own camera.

Besides, it isn't necessary. They

An actress can do her best work when
she has a part which she enjoys. says
Miss Hanes. Peg. played by her IN
"Peg o My Heart and Tess, in Tess
Of the Storm Country" were parts she
liked immensely Real, human charac-
ters, full of life and vigor are what she
desires, she declares. She enters so
greatly into the characters she depicts
that in the emotional scenes, when the
nei oine ls eupposeu yt,, she e,ieH ro"l
tears and feels her grief in reality.
Its wonderful when | know that my
audience is with me-" she says. Il en-
JOY playing character which l know
they like and can play all the better
when l know they are with me. And no
actress could ask for better inspiration
than a Great Falls audience. They seem
to feel the play and put such life and
pep over in their attention. and are so
considerate Of the players, that it makes
it very easy, and | love them all Tor
it."
Miss Hanes started on the stage six
years ago with Willard Mack. playing
ingenue parts, and with her natural abil-
ity. has risen to play star parts for sew
eral years back.
Likes Stock Playing.
She played in stock for some time,
and then signed with a road company,
ana 1OF TWO stdSoDS SUc II
would much rather play in stock. how
ever, as it is much more interesting to
have frequent changes Of character than
to appear in the same play month after
month she says.
"As far as the movies are concerned
I do not believe that | would like IT
nearly as we'll as / do right here in
Great Falls. 1t is hard to do real act
ing before a grinding camera, but with
my audience as an inspiration, il is very
easy"
Miss Hanes. always ready for outdoor
sports. is also an ardent baseball fan,
and follows especially the games Of the
Salt Lake City club Of the Tacific coast
league. Her parents reside in Salt Lake
City, and she is personally acquainted
with many of the players. While at
home. she never missed a game, and
now follows the team closely through
the sporting columns.
Her makeup she uses only while on
the stage. Because Of the bright glar-
ing lights about the stage. all the play
crs are forced to use certain amount
of makeup Miss Hanes offers no apol-
ogy for. the small amounut she uses.
When off stage she needs none, because
of the fact that her outdoor life has
given her complexion TO be envied.
Although we must work hard here
with two plays every week, | enjoy it,
and / am glad that / can call Great
Falls my home" she declares.

Movie Photographer
Gets 'Pinched" for
Taking Paris Scenes

Mrs Fred Talmadge and daughter,
Natalie received something of a shock
recently on their arrival in Paris when
they leaerned that David Kirkland, who
directed Constance Talmadgc in ''The
Love Expert and other First Nation
nj pictures. had run afoul of the law
Mr. kirkland sailed for Europe a month
before the Talmadgcs with a special ca
mera to take photographs of certain
famous historical spots to later be used
in the building sets. The director, how
ever, was unacquainted with European
laws. one of which makes it a very seri-
Gus offense to take photos in certain
public places in France without a per-
nit. Kirkland hired one of these pic
turesque open hacks of Paris, set up
his camera on it. drove around from
place to place taking pictures as he
went. All went well until he arrived
at the tomb of Napolean and placed his
picture taking apparatus in position.
Just as he was about to 'shoot" a gen
darme tapped him on the shoulder and
placed him under arrest. The Talmadges
however, arrived in time to support the
statements of the director that he knew
nothing of the French laws governing
photography, and that in America there
were no such restrictiO1s Thus MIR.
kirkland escaped the bastile and got off
with a judicial reprimand.

CONSTANCE DENIES
SHE HAS MARRIAGE
To KEEP A SECRET
"King of Ragtime" and "Queen
of Screen Not Husband and
Wife, She Says.

Are the "king of ragtime" and the
queen of screen condolences husband
and wife?
The California papers say they are:
But Irving Berlin and Constance Tai
madge deny it.
Fannie Hurst kept her marriage Sc
cret for long time. but Miss Talmadge
says she has nothing to keep secret.
Constance is now making Good Ref
erences" for First National, but she says
she'll never be able to go on with her
work if the newspapers don't stop print
ing stories about her getting married
or her reported intentions of marrying
somebody.
Engagement Reported.
First it was a series of stories to the
effect that she was engaged to Irving
Berlin, the composer Next it was the
widely heralded report following her
visit to Havana that she was to we'd
Ferdinand Apuncrouploos, a multi mil
lionaire of Cuba. followed by spontaneous
and intermittent reports of other matri-
monial plans. And now the Los Angeles
Times, published in the heart of the
movie belt, comes out in its June 4th
issue and says that the screen star and
ragtime king were secretly married sew
eral weeks ago.
This was the proverbial "last straw.
for Constance.
"Why. the very idea" she exclaimed
when asked at her New York studio,
31S East 4Sth street. if the report was
true. It's bad enough having the news
papers print lot of fiction about my be-
ing engaged TO someone, but they're
going just a bit too far when they say
I'm married. II looks as though there
was a conspiracy on foot to make me
marry someone. No. I'm not married
not even engaged to anyone"
Berlin Also Denies It.
Mr.. Berlin stated that while highly
flattcred by the detailed story from Cal
ifornia he felt constrained in fairness
to Miss Talmadge to say emphatically
that there was not an atom of truth in
the report.
This latest bit Of newspaper fiction
surpasses all others in the amount of
information it gives" said Mr.. Berlin.
1T even goes so far as to say that my
song entitled When You Get What You
Want You Don't Want It was written
the first week after our reported mar
riage
"The facts are that while l regard
Miss Talmadge as the peer of motion
picture stars we wern never engaged.
we are certainly not married now, and
the song in question was written several
months ago for a stage comedy
Great Falls daily tribune., 1920-06-27

Reggie Morris announced that Mr.. Nc
Manus had come three thousand miles
to jack up Jiggs and lend more power
to Maggie's rolling-pin elbow. Their Gre
ator, Mr.. Morris said, would put Jiggs
and Maggie through screen PAGES that
would cause them to outdo all their pre-
vious astounding and laughable achieve
ments. Mr.. McManus, he said, would
assume full supervision.
Here the cartoonist interrupted to de-
clare that be never assumed anything.
certainly not supervision of the work Of
a director so brilliant as that of Reggie
Morris He was going to be the inno-
cent bystander, Mr.. McManus said. May
be he might get an idea or two. he
thought. and if, in the directors opin-
or damage the scenery they might per-
haps, figure in future episodes of Bring
ing Up Father"
World Needs Laughter.
With some difficulty, George McMan-
us was induced to make a few remarks
for publication on the subject of his
speciality. now so happily translated on
the picture screen He said: What the
world needs today as never before is the
tonic of laughter-pure, simple. unadul
terated laughter. even the kind that
makes some folks fat. Sorrow is an
awful cross for an amusement loving
people TO bear But worse than sorrow
is worry Anybody reading the news
papers nowadays must be impressed
with innumerable indications that Amer
lea is about to worry her head off She
has a hundred corroding worries-not
to mention the high cost of living and
prohibition. 1t is n crime to let our
good people worry so.
