1922, $4066.Sl6,366. The appropriations for
the fiscal years 1921 and 1922 were
greatly reduced from estimates made BY
the Democratic heads of departments,

MABEL NORMAND
ANATLANTAGIRL
Born AT Georgia's Capital City
And Early Danced On
Whitehall

ATLANTA, Feb. 10.-While the
name of Mabel Normand is turning
up every few paragraphs in the news
concerning the death of William DeS-
mond Taylor. at Hollywood, it is to
wonder how many Atlsntans recall
Miss Normand when she was work
ing" in the chorus of the old Ameri-
can theater on Whitehall. near
Mitchell street, and singing and dang
ing in tie queer little old movie PAL
ace on the old viaduet way, Just off
the Whitehall street yiaduct. says the
Atlanta Journal.
For Mabel is an Atlanta product
at least, she was born in Buckhesd,
the daughter of locomotive engi-
neer. She gives Atlanta as her
birthplace, however, in Who's Who
on the Screen" but she lived in Buck
head when she was appearing in the
small choruses of the early movies
a dozen years ago.
Mabel was then fourteen or fif-
teen years old, and it was about this
time she went to New York. who's
Who" does not agree entirely with
Atlanta associates of Miss Normand
as to the reason for her going to
New York and her manner of liyeli-
hood there. Who's Who on the
Screen" says she supported herself
as model, posing for Charles Dana
Gibson, the Leyendeckers and other
artists while studying art.
1t is recalled in Atlanta that Miss
Normand was protegee of Raymond
Hitchcock and Mrs. Hitchcock, eth
er about the time she went to New
York or soon thereafter, and that
accounts for her brief excursion into
musical comedy as a chorus girl -
mentioned in who's Who on the
Screen"-before she began to act for
the movies.
who's Who on the Screen" says
this was with the Vitagraph COM
pany, but the Atlanta report is that
it was with the old Biograph company,
with Mack Sennett and Fred Mace,
who died some years ago. After two
of three years with the Biograph
company, Miss Normand was taken
into the Keystone company, organ
lied by Mack Sennett, and was a
comedy star when that outfit was
producing some of the finest films,
Still later she was co-star with Ros-
coe Arbuckle in a comedy series call
ed Fatty and Mabel"
1t is said that through all the
changes and vicissitudes of her ca
rcer-which included some three
years as Goldwyn star-Miss Nor
mand's name never has been removed
from the Sennett payroll, and she re-
Gently has returned to that organiza-
ton.
