Aci at Hippodrome

Jack Dempsey, champion % the
world became ono Of The stars last
night of Get Together AZ the Hip
podromc. Before one of the biggest
Audiences tho house has hold since the
Prince Of Wales was It's guest. Dempsey
went through brief act. which left
the audience expecting more.
The act, while it was good one,
was too short. 1t was opened b. Jack
Kearns, Dempsey's manager who ex-
tolled the virtues Of boxing and then
gave brief history Of the chan oion's
rise to power. Dempsey then appeared
in evening dress and brisk dialogue
ensued between him and Kearns.
This was followed b. sections Of the
moving pictures taken before, during
and after the fight with Carpenter
last July. While the pictures were being
shown, Dempsey got into his fighting
togs and when a bacX-drop was raised
it showed a ring with Dempsey posed
in lghting attitude IN the center Of
it,
With Kearns as referee Denpsey
boxed three rounds with Larry Will
tached to his camp in Atlantic City last
summer when Jack was preparing for
his bout with Carpenter. Williams
was'a willing mark for all Of Dcmpsey's S
best blows and fought back very
feebly.
The appearance Of the champion was
made before one OF the most distin-
guished sporting aud society audiences
that the Hippodrotne has ever known.
Among those present we're Governor
Edward L. Edwards, OF New Jersey;
Mayor Hague, Of Jersey City; Senator's
Frawlcy and Jimmy Walker of New

Mike, Famous Canine of
Peg o. NV Heart" q Mother

The microscope Of suspicion has been
applied to Mike, the dog actor in "Peg
o. My Heart" His reputation will never
be the same again after his perform
ance week or so ago of making a
lightning change of sex This canine
thespian, after appearing with Laurette
Taylor in more than 1000 perform
ances of Peg o. Ny Heart on the
stage, living a silent lie as he accepted
the supposition Of his masculinity, sud-
denly became mother. No wonder
everything about Mike is now ques-
toned. The latest thing is his Irish
terriership. Dog experts, looking into
this, have found that Nike is half Irish
and half French, the Gallo strain be-
ing that of poodle. They further ciassi-
fed him as lap dog. But this brought
q protest from Miss Taylor. She now
is appearing in "Peg o. MY Heart" for
the screen, and so is Mike, for all his
being twelve years old.
aOh, don't be so particular about the
poor dog" said the star recently. Ere

Norma Talmadge Goes
tn tho St pox,I Co,r

Tho motion pictures have entered the
sacred walls Of the convent. Last
Thursday night 500 nuns and mothers
superior witnessed Norma Talmadge's
"The Eternal Flame" founded on
Honore De Balzac's famous story of
the titled woman who renounced the
splendors Of the Court OF Louis XVII to
hnd peace In the cloistered walls Of a
convent-'La Duchesse De Langeais." ;"
For the first time in the history Of the
cinema, an abbey was turned into a
motion picture theater. Carpenters
were admitted to the st. Paul Convent,
at 148 West Sixty-frst Street. carrying
In their kits the tools for erecting a
booth for tho projection machine, and
First National donated the machine,
the booth, the operators and the silver
sheet. Sister Thomasina, mother su-
perior Of st. Paul's, issued invitations
to 500 sisters to see Miss Talmadge's q

A New Book Which Tells
All About the Taimadg.

Ellis Parker Butler, author OF "Pigs

to the book called "The Talmadge Sis
ters," with Mrs. Margaret Talmadge
has just finished. Margaret is the
mother of Norma, Natalie and Con-
stance, and the book tells the life-story
of each of the three, beginning with
their childhood and going on to their
screen careers. 1t also tells of the
romance of Natalie and Buster Keaton,
which was real romance, worthy Of
the screen itself. The book is Illus
trated with hitherto unpublished pho
tographs of the three girls and their
families.

Even Dog May Have
A Double to Help Him Act

strongheart, the only canine star on
the screen, has double. This is nee
essary because Strongheart who re-
ceived his training from the Teutons
as police and war dog, has never
been able to howl. His brother, Flash,
however, is nothing loath and will howl
for any length Of time, apparently en-
joying the performance more than the
audience for whom he is, presumably,
performing. So, in scenes in the
Strongheart pictures where you see
him sitting up and howling with lone
,iness 1t isn't Strongheart you see at
ell, but his twin brother.
When Larry Trimble got Strong
heart he had been awarded one
diploma as Red Cross dog and an
other as police dog, although he was
only eighteen months old. He is at
present working on a new feature.

London Abandons
Game Which Pokes
Fun at Whiskers

LONDON, Sept % (By Mai).-The
impolite epidemic Of "Beaver" has
practically died out of London, writes
Norman Ackland in "The Daily News"
but the production OF revue of that
name, which is shortly going on tour,
will give it new life in the provinces.
1t is an innovation from the his
hair on their faces to be ridiculed.
The beard has long been esteemed as
the symbol of manhood, sagacity and
strength. During periods of intel
lectual prominence in most countries
boards happened to be fashionable.
The Assyrian and ancient Persian
rulers wore boards, the latter actually
Interviewing them with gold threads.
in ancient Greece, Zeus and the
Homeric heroes are depicted with
them. Plato and the philosophers
wore boards, but Alexander the Great
abolished them, as they afforded an ex-
celent grip for the enemy in hand-to-
hand conflicts. 1t was during the time
Of Alexander that Greek culture began
to wane.
The leading lights of the Renascence,
Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and
Galileo were bearded, as were the
great Elizabethans. Boards were taxed
in England in the sixteenth century,
hence they became luxury and were
frequently dyed. In "a Midsummer
Nights Dream" when Ounce asks Bot
tom the Weaver to play the part OF
Pyramus. the latter says: Il will dis
charge it in either your straw-color
beard, your orange-tawny beard, yoltc
purple-in- grain beard or your French
crown-color beard, your perfect vel
low" Tn which case he would be-
come Bottom the Beaver.)
Pope Clement VII grew his beard as
an indication of grief for the sack OF
Rome in 1927, and from that time the
Popes were bearded until the death ot
Innocent XII in 1700.
In eighteenth-century England hair
was not worn on the face, but during
the Peninsula War side whiskers came
into vogue.
Among great Victorian Beavers" are
Dickens, Tennyson, Carlyle, Darwin,
Burne-Jones and Ruskin. Gladstone,
Dsraeli and Huxley were Demi- Beav-
ers. The bearded celebrities of to-day
include George Bernard Shaw and
Augustus John. The latter has a soft
black beard like Capuchin novice.
In Mahometan countries the beard
has always been held in veneration, IN
honor Of the Prophet. whose chin knew
no razor. Mahometans swear by his
beard and by their own.
Boards must not always be consid-
cred g concomitant of greatness and
goodness. Bad "Beayers" occasionally
spring into notoriety. Rasputin and
Landru are recent examples.
