Rare Species Share
Honors With Humans

CIC transit obscuritas.
- BY the time First Nationals
production of ''The Lost World'' has
run its lengthy course, every one
will know what chuckawalla and a
peccary are, not to forget the Lava
Muslin.
These rare species are part Of the
vast array of animals which share
honors with the more popular and
human section of the cast.
The chucka walla claims ancestry
dating back millions of years. In
fact he is shown as the only living
descendant of the tremendous AL
losaurus, also to be seen in the film.
The paccary is an Argentinian pig
whose genealogy is not recorded. But
he is such an ancient cuss that were
he to revert to type he would be no
less than a Brontosaurus. it is be-
lieved.
The Lava Muslin is Enthusiastically
great-great-great-a more greats
-grandchild of some reptile of the
Mesoziic Age that survived the
Glacial Period by hiding away in the
VOLCANOES. He looks as If his original
parent were a Trachodon.
These three little fellows serve as
contrasts to the monsters which
tower above the trees.

MCGGING is not acting, according

Many misinformed screen and stage
aspirants believe they can steal the
laurels of Theodore Roberts in
Grumpy of the late Wallace Reid
in "Clarence"; of Lois Wilson in
Miss Lulu Bett," of Edna Mae Oliver
in 'Icebound," or of Ethel Wales in
1.-The Bedroom Window" by making
faces in front of a mirror and call
ing it acting, but de Mile says not, and
he can speak with authority on act
ing-on stage or screen.
He was hardly out of college be-
fore he began writing successful
plays. such as "Strongheart," Glass
mates" "The Warrens of Virginia"
and THE Woman" Then he turned
to motion pictures, first a scenar-
ist and later as director and pro-
duCer
He has filmed many characterize
tions and has given the screen some
of its finest psychological studies.
He. probably more than any other
director, has made character stars" "

Migratory Habit Still Exists With American

A young man in Europe looks for

tie profession or business pursued by
his father. But in the United States.
for 200 years. a large part of each gen.
Grafton has moved West and created
new homes for itself Nothing could
more effectively foster individuaIism of
the type advocated (and typified) by
Herbert Hoover.
This migratory habit persists TO the
present day even when it has lost much
of its economic justification. Ameri-
cans are forever on the move; tie man
who lives in the house where he was
born is almost a curiosity.
The sense of transience thus created
leads also TO a certain looseness Of
community organization. and specifical-
iy to federation of corrupt practice
IN business and politics. The mayor of
your town may be boodler; but after
all, since you are thinking seriously Of
moving to Austin, Tex, next spring,
what does it matterf
The departure from the old Ameri-
canism which was created so largely
by the existence of the frontier. has
naturally gone further In the Eastern
states than in the West. which Is. even
today. much closer to pioneer condi-
