 ACTORS IS A STAR
Figures Show Aspirant to Movie Fame Has Small Chance Of
 Realizing Hopes.

Hollywood. Cal. May S.--I'igures compiled during tho last five years by the largest moving picture pro- ducing companies reveal that the aspirant to slardom in the films must overcome 6o.0Q0-to-l chance of achieving success,
 The figures indicate that In the past five years. screen service bur oaus of Hollywood have supplied over 100000 men, women and chil- dren, who at first were ineXpcri- enced in moving picture work. Of these, 100000, not to exceed six or seven have reached point where their names were carried on the screen and only two have become stars of any magnitude.
 Many included in the figures had some theatrical experience. and the contrast is drawn with the fact that nearly all of the prominent stars and featured players have had stage experience.
 "A beautiful face" directors say. ''or pretty figure, or both, without special histrionic ability are use- less In fllmland."

 The assertion is made that the first llye-saver of this kind was conceived 132 years ago by Jacques Garnerin, a Fronehman.

PRAISES MODERN
 MORAL STANDARDS
Social Worker Says Girls Now
 Look at Life Squarely

London. May S.--speaking of experiences covering many years among tens of thousands Of working girls and women, Miss Lillian Bar ker, governor of the BorstaI insti- tution for girls at Aylesbury in n recent lecture asserted that their moral standard was never higher than today, because the modern women know the facts of life as they exist at the present time.
 The mental outlook Of the young people today was the greatest hope for the future. asserted Miss Bar ker, "and there was no humbug about it." IL was seldom that people days ever saw the present B lay girl chuck a book under the 'ofa cushion when her mother ap- peared, said the lecturer. Instead, f Inc mother should ask in these ines, What book is that you are rcading?" the girl almost invari. fbyl replied: "Oh, it's all right, but .ts not the sort flt for you 10 read, mother" and let 1t go at that.
 Miss Barker expressed herself as believing that this practice every thing considered, was perfectly splendid thing because she did not think there was one solitary thing in life that the modern girls should chuck under the sofa cushion. "The mothers of other years were not reared that way" averred Miss Barker, but the girls now ought 10 bs told to look at things clearly and squarely as they are"
 Almost everybody complained that young people of today did not so to church as they did formerly, said Miss Barker, and then added: 'and . very good thing this is. too" She contended that the forced
New Britain herald., 1925-05-08

church going of twice a day Of olden times rendered 1t q farce. Young women went to church now when the church could give them some- thing that no other place could give. When the churches gave the young people what they wanted, they certainly would attend services regularly. Miss Barker agreed that regular church worship was a real thing, but forced church. going in her opinion, was n great mistake.
