RY their hobbies you shall know

tress and actor has hobby. Life
without one would be an amending

pie Cooper-Hewitt lights of the mod

A survey of the records OF Para
mount stars and leading men and
women recently made at the new
Long Island studio shows hobbies run
ming the samut from breeding oysters
to reading Indian love lyrics.
Rodcliffe Fellowes. leading man for
Ethel Clayton in her latest Para

most peculiar hobby-oyster breeding.
Evan Burrows Fontaine. the dancer
who has taken Broadway by storm,
spends her time between perform

Dancing and swimming lead the list
of feminine hobbies, and sport and
athletics hold first rank among the
men. In between come such hobbies
as raising Pekinese dogs. farming.
reading high-b brow literature. garden

Film Titles Mislead.

tTT is a common practice" says Mr..
Mckay Of the Mayf1ower Corpora
ton. ito pay very high price for the
film rights to some noted authors novel
or story, the title of which is well known
to the public, and then change this title
when the picture version of the story is
ready for release. The reason advanced
for this procedure is that the original
title has no box office value
For example. how many people know
that Cecil b. De Miles Male and Fe-
male is from J. NJ. Barrels famous
story. The Admirable Critchton?' Or
that Realart's a Cumberland Romance

take the case of What's Your Hurry,
from Byron Morgan's magazine story

Mary Pickford's 'Suds,' from Barrie S

1T is in my opinion that the ma jority
Of amusement seekers do not know
these, rechristened stories are made
from our best known literature AL
though these authors have large follow
ings, their readers are often deprived
of the privilegfie of viewing the film
