WOMEN REFUSE
TO OBEY king
Of BULGARIA
Do Not Like Idea OF Working
Ten Days Each Year Free
for the Government

SOFIA, Bulgaria June 23.-(Asso.
ciated Press by MauJ-When Pre-.
mier StambouIisky conceived the
| idea that it would be a good thing
to compel every able bodied man and
woman to work 10 days a year for
the state, he probably expected the
trouble which has ensued, for he is
described as a far sighted statesman
with an active Imagination. In any
event he has entered the lists to
defend the weak spots in his inno-
vation, and his principal opponents
.are the young women Of the land.
In the first place, the young mos
lem women of Bulgaria have refused
point blank to do a thing. They cite
the position given them in their
homes by their religion, and refer
the authorities to various groups of
fathers and brothers armed with p.s-
tolls, rifles and knives, who are VIC
lently opposed to their female rela-
tiyes donating their labor to the
state The premier has proposed
they be deprived Of their vote. and
has threatened arrest. The women
still resist passively Now Stambou-
lisky says they will work for the gov
ernment, or he will know the reason
why.
September will be interesting, for
then the 1922 class Of women will be
called to labor without pay in pub
lie buildings, gardens, etc. And the
women other than those of the mos
lem faith say they will work when
the moslem women do, in the mean
time offering encouragement and sup
port to their beligerent sisters.
There also have been called to
the public gardens, as it were, pro
fessional men from the cities, men
unused to hard labor, whose soft
hands daily attach white collars to
silk shirts, In the beginning they
went through the motions of work
but did virtually nothing. Why labor
when one could soldier? Then the
gang bosses gave piece work, each
man could quit when his stint was
done, AS a result two hours often
sufficed for what previously had not
been completed in ten. But little
by little the bosses increased the al
lotments, and now the inevitable re-
action has set in. The bourgeoise
are daily complaining of sore backs, .
bltstered hands, bad eyesight, sun
stroke, thirst and other handicaps.
These rotten bourgeoise don't love
their country, are lazy and incapable, % .

The divorce register of Hollywood Is

divorce Is an evil but not necessarily
stigma.

No doubt almost as long a list OF undi-

This article has come to the end OF its
allotted space without having more than
touched on the brighter and more whole
some phases Of Hollywood life, which do
exist abundantly
Making OF pictures Is called an indus
try" in Hollywood and 1t Is so. The cost
of many feature productions is from So, 900
to $4,000 a camera day 1t takes at least
five camera weeks TO complete the picture,
making the total cost sometimes more than
100000. The camera cannot be fooled
very much. II an actor has been out all
night rioting. drinking or gambling the
camera sees It. He cannot 90 on. Unless
scenes can be shot" not requiring that
actors presence, the whole production is
held up. Result, loss OF between $4,000
and $4,000 If the picture has progressed
so far that to call everything of would be
ruinous. the offending actor is retained
but unless he reforms that is his last pic
ture for this producer. He acquires rep
uation for unrelability. and nobody wants
him.
In a girl of the pictures, youth. vivacity
freshness-they must be real not coun-
terfeit-are everything. If they are all she
has to give II she does not develop dramati-
cally, the length Of her screen life Is
only about five years. They are precious
years Each day is a thing to be treasured
and guarded To the camera she must look
the same every day OF the weeks and even
months that pass before a picture is An
shed She cannot appear "on the LOT"
with a haggard face, with circles under
the eyes, with crow foot wrinkles soaring
the smoothness OF her skin. All this is In
tolerable. The actors and actresses know
II as well as the producers and directors.
II follows then-and is a fact that the
typical actor and actress, even II predis-
posed toward giddiness, is during the long.
hard days when a picture is being made,
a model OF behavior The letdown, II II
comes. Is in the interval between pictures.
But even in these vacations the players
have to remember that when the next err
gagement begins they must look their
best SO, to a degree, good conduct Is
self-enforced In Hollywood

THE bad ones flock together as affini
ties do everywhere. Every experienced
observer knows the source of the trouble
that recently has come upon Hollywood.
One OF the comedy concerns is rotten and
ought to be blotted off the face of the map
But the estimate that not 200 members of
the fast crowd are actors, actresses or
directors is accurate. No census has been
taken, but / should say there are about
5000 actors in the studio district. l mean
stars, leads and those who play small parts.
The extras are as the sands of the sea and
many OF them just as shifty. In boom
times they gather around, in slack times
they go back to the foundry or wherever
they came from. The body from which
the working extras are drawn numbers
from 5000 to $4,000 persons. About $50
OF them are ex-pugilsts When the stu
dios are busy they work as rubbers and
extras otherwise they are absorbed In the
mass. Living is somehow easy for their
kind.
Among the extras are many decent and
thrifty souls as well as many weak and
shiftless. They are just such humanity as
you might think would be attracted to the
pictures For q period OF twenty months
carefully checked all the newspaper
stories OF movie actresses arrested for
misdemeanors. Often they were head
lined as movie stars The fact was that
not one OF them was even a player of small
parts. They were comedy girls and extra
girls. When arrested, all said they we're
actresses"

the matter OF divorce and informal aili-

the stock company was dominant. 1t put
on cheap pictures costing from $4,000 to
$4,000, and ground out a picture in two
or three weeks. Each studio had large
number of employees earning from $25 to
$50 a week. Sometimes there were as
many as twenty-five directors in one studio.
The profession of director was new one.
Some of these were men of bad character
but with knack for this game. They got
into the habit of telling actresses that in
order to become better actresses they
needed emotional experience The next
suggestion was, of course that the director
could help supply this experience.
Il know of girls who were tricked by
this sort of fraud, and the truth is that
some of them really did become stars, But
as the new type of picture developed the
stock company passed. The director no
longer is all powerful. In the next phase
the little tin king was the star He picked
his own company. If he were rotter, as
some stars have been, he selected his
women according to their complaisance,
and it is only fair to say that some of
them were exceedingly complaisant and evil
