HARRY CAREY GETS
 INTO BUCK JONES'
 NEW PICTURE

If motion picture patrons will take a good look at one of the scenes in The Big Punch," just completed at the Fox West Coast studios with Buck Jones in the stellar role, they will catch 8 glimpse of Harry Carey, an other noted Western star, who ''just happened" into the picture. Jones and Carey were making pictures on neigh boring locations, and at lunch time Carey paid a visit to the Fox star.
 The Jones outfit was still at work. and the camerae can were grinding away when Carey arrived. Half a hundred cowboys were just. making rush up the steps of McGraw's saloon to throw out an objectionable char acter. Carey immediately rushed in to help, but no one recognized him until the scene was finished.
 1T suppose you'll want your name on the program now" said Jones af- ter he had-greeted his visitor.
 Sure" replied Carey. "It should read: The Big Punch. Starring Buck Jones. Assisted in One Scene by Harry Carey.'"

Dave Aronson, 1o5 Gilbert street, has announced that Washington's birthday, will be celebrated by him as Indian day, This has become a fixture on the calendar of motorcycle events throughout the country. He will hold open house and welcome all visitors with suitable functions.

He hastens to make it clear, however, that he has made preparations to welcome all who care to visit him on that day and has arranged to pro- vide entertainment and refreshments for both ladies and gentlemen wheth- CT they ride Q motorcycle or not.

JUSTINE DISCUSSES
 HERSELF IN NEW PLAY

You'll not recognize the beautiful Justine so easily in her newest pie ture, which is now being made but which has not yet been named. In this picture Miss JohnStone has the role of an innocent little girl whose father has protected her from any knowledge of the world.
 With her hair pulled tightly back off her ears, big tortoise shell glasses, a cheap, badly made little dress, cot ton stockings and low ugly button kids shoes,' the star looks rather different from her usually lovely self. But despite all the ugly makeup, she is still beautiful. Miss John stones features are so perfect that no makeup can make her face look less exquisite.
