 SEA STORIES

If ever a player feels at home 1t Is William Farnum when he finds he is to play a part that has to do with ships and the sea. This is but nat ura1, for all his life he has been clos. to the great waters.
 This is why the popular Fox star is seen to such wonderful advantage in '"The Scuttlers," a gripping screen story of the sea which is his latest re- lease and is now scoring emphatic success throughout the country.
 MT. Farnum was reared in. a ship building town Not city of tall stacks, steel frames and noisy rivet- ing machines, but a little Maine vil- lage where they dug ships out of the virgin wood and sent them away with the smell of the forest singing to them. Here the actor and his brother played around the shipyards, using the chips from the big beams as the hullS of the first boats they, as juve- waters.
 Ever since then MT. Farnum has kept close to the water. His Long Island home at Sag Harbor looks out over Long Island Sound and here at anchor swings his fine yacht. Near Los Angeles his California home, from the top of a sunlit cliff, looks out over the moving waters, while down in Florida he has a. camp in the thick est of the Everglades.
 And Farnum. loving the water, is a prince among fishermen. Tuna. is | his special prey. He lives the life of the great outdoors and there Is | never @ Farnum picture in which he does not carry the freshness. the strength and the buoyancy born oi such a life.
