Quite a Different Ambition

Another celebrity from Los Angeles
to whom we talked last week is Mrs.
A. 3. Maescher. Mrs. Maescher has
Just made a motion picture all by her
self, although she is not in the motion
picture business for good, or rather
she is in the picture business but only
for good-the good of Hollywood The
picture which Mrs. Maescher has just
completed is called might Life in
Hollywood" In the cast are Wallace
Reid, J. Warren Kerrigan, Theodore
Roberts. Sessue Hayakawa and a half
dozen other stars, and the object of
the picture is to show that Hollywood
is really as it is and not as people in
the East think it is.
: Mrs. Maescher is president of the
De Luxe Building Corporation, and she
not only erected most of the beautiful
dwellings, in Hollywood, but she is so
well acquainted with their owners that
she knows everything that goes on in
side those dwellings. She told US facts
thst seemed incredible. For instance,
does it seem possible that attendance
at the picture theaters throughout the
country could be so affected by couple
Of overrated sensations in the Holly
wood colony that failure threatens the
smaller producers in many instances?
Yet we were assured that this is quite
true. One touch of scandal makes the
whole world look askance.
Just why this should be so we never
have been able to understand. The
world has never bothered about the
morals of its great actors, its singers,
musicians, authors and painters. Yet
those who are in position to know
the truth assure us that this worm in
the bud will seriously hamper the in
FAINT industry unless it is destroyed in
time. So Mrs. Maescher took $i00 600
of her own money and made Night
Life in Hollywood which is propa-
ganda, but which is said to contain an
interesting story and to be replete with
humor.

London Chuckline
Over Two American
Boys i'm ''Chuckles'

Cables, communications, clippings
and conversation drifting in from the
other side Of the ocean bring the har-
monizing tidings that Bobby Clark and
Paul Mccullough, two young American
comedians who recently went abroad
with "Chuckles," burlesoue show, are
the real hit of London's summer sea-
son.
1t was not very long time ago that
these two young men, heading a bur
lesque show, slipped quietly into New
York and by new methods rocked
Broadway with laughter. Everybody
asked who they were. The answer came
back that they were former circus men.
And so they are, and those who have
followed their career from the saw
dust to the stage have found in them
the real and genuine qualities that
made them the talk Of circus towns.
Clark and Mccullough, however, are
young men. 1t is just seventeen years
ago that they went into professional
work.
Picking up the story in the "Who's
Who" manner, Robert Edw. Clark was
born in 1888, Paul J. Mccullough in
1884, and both in Springfield, Ohio,
where they went to the same school.
Their acrobatic antics, singing and
dancing began very properly in the
back yard. Popularity with the juve-
niles of the community soon took them
to the larger auditorium, to the lot
back Of the saw mill. Their frst dive
into real professionalism was at an
Elks' circus. AS result they were
engaged for a minstrel show on the
campus. they took one look at the
show and walked home. Then came a
variety Of small show engagements
and turns with the small ciscuses.
Clark has often remarked that "Sher-
man may have marched through Geor-
gia, butfwe paraded every inch of it."
The big circuses employed them, For
five years they were with Ringing
Brothers. They went into burlesque
in 1917. with Bedini. For three wears
they were the leads in the summer
show at the Columbia Theater in New
York. 1t was here that Sam H. Harris
saw the pair and found that they fitted
insto the "Music Box Revue" This
they will join on their return from,
England.
Bobby Clark is quiet, unassuming
little fellow, "Just steer clear of geo
graphical problems like the distance
between Police Headquarters and the
Statue Of Liberty and keep to the do

WHO WAS JAMES ORD?

THE public life of the man whose
name was concealed under the
paIpable alias Of James Ord" COM
menced when this strange character
was sent to Georgetown college, in
Washington, with the statement by his
guardian, Captain Ord, that "if you
had your rights in England you would
be some one the very mention of
whose name would cause every head
to bend. God forgive those who have
wronged you, my boy!"
In order to remain close by his
charge, the elder Ord secured a posi-
tion in the Washington navy yard. but
1t was noted that the allowance which
he was able to make to the boy who
passed as his nephew, was out of all
proportion to his salary as master
mechanic. Young Ord remembered lit

seemed to be hazy recollection of a

The expression in President Lin.

several centuries had passed unnoticed

In the preface Of the first complete

there is the following: "The Bible is

the people and for the people" The
date of this is, according to Encyclope-

Tracing Bees In Australia.

Some interesting facts concerning
native bee hunters come from Aus
tralia.
Wild bees nests are usually well
hidden, and, the flight Of the bees be-
ing too fast for the eye to follow, the
aborigines have devised various igeni-
GUS methods Of tracing them.
One way is to watch the bees gath
ering pollen, and then, when honey
laden bee alights on a flower, to place
a piece Of white feather-down, mOis-
tened with gum. on the underside Of
its body. The native eye can then fol-
low the bees homeward Journey.
A white beekeeper on the south
coast Of New South Wales Is little be-
hind the natives in cunning. His meth
cd is to watch bees drinking at pool.
II they fly away slowly, and at no
great height, he knows that nest is
close at hand; II they fly fast and
high the nest Is likely to be miles
away.
