EVEN THE PILOT
 r LEFT THE WHEEL,

During the making of Partners of fate,' in which Louise Lovely will shortly be seen, it became necessary to utilize several islands off the Cal ifornia coast for scenes in which Miss Lovely and her leading man, William Scott, are supposed to be castaways on an uninhabited island of the South Seas.
 As the story details the mishaps they encounter during several weeks residence on the island, it was neces- sary for Miss Lovely to appear at this part of the pictures progress in an exceedingly scanty dres. The To- |; cation being ituated on the most trav- eled of the trade routes along the Pa
 cific coats, and a constant procession of ships circling the island, the pho- tographerS were greatly hampered at times by the too close proximity of
 passing vessels.
 { Finally it became necessary for l Miss Lovely to emerge from the sea in her abbreviated costume; and with ! the camera. man grinding away, one fof the biggest incidents of the story
 {, was being recorded, when around the
 5corner of the island, and very close
 ito the shore. came a large schooner on
 , its way north. In a minute the en-
 tire crew were lining the ships rails,
 tmoSt of them armed with marine
 iglasses, and the vessel started to zig
 gag in her course so alarmingly that

JUNE GETS PEEVED
 AND SPEAKS OUT!

"I have no patience with the rant CTS and ravers who call New York
 the anteroom to Hades because the
 women are wearing low necks, short skirts and short sleeves," said June ECaprice, the young star in Pathe pie ture. "There's no sane reason for
 women, or any one, wearing a lot of yclothing in warm weather. Men don't wear coats because they like to, or because they think it behooves them to be modest. They wear them be- cause theys are afraid to get along !; without the tailors outline. They thaven't the courage to revert to the : soft collar and silk shirtwaists of days gone by. It would help matters a lot 1. if the women looked hot, perspiring | and uncomfortable, too.

Clyde Cook, the contortionistic marvel who is winning new Iaurels in comedy films, was at one time an actor with a small company touring British provincial towns. Cook iS fond of relating some of the funny incidents that occurred during his early days a thespian. He paused long enough while making "AIl Wrong" his latest comedy to relate the following:
 ''one day, while playing in a small town in south of England. was ac- costed at the stage door by a small lad bearing in his arms a huge pine apple. Thinking to have some fun with the boy, I asked him what he would take for the pineapple. He answered that I could have it if I
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-01-05

would let him in to see the show. As it looked like good bargain, I paid the youngster's way in. Upon cut ting the pineapple in my dressing room discovered it was in a badly decayed state-nobody could eat it.
 After the performance I waited at the front door, to demonstrate with my young friend. Hi, there, laddie,' says I, that b1oomtn' pine apple was rotten.' The young scoun- drel twisted himself free, and run ming down the street, cried over his shoulder, So was the show"

gradually. In the temperate zones, the amount and weight of clothing varies logically with the weather. Scant clothing is not a sign of de- pravity, but of hot weather. Women and children have never been so hap py and so healthy as they are now, and it is partly because they are dress ed sensibly.
 ''The person who sees the devil lurking in the prettily-turned ankle, the dimple elbow. and white, bare throat of a girl has better fumigate his brain before he ventures out on
 the street. The normal man can look at her as he would at flower, and thank God for making her!''
