What Picture Folks
Do With Old Clothes

HOLLYWOOD, October 9 @.-
What becomes of the screen players
old clothes?
The problem Of what shall wear?"
is an acute one with the movie star
who has appeared in a series OF
gorgeous creations. To wear them
again In a new picture Is out OF the
question. The same problem exists
for the male star, but not quite to the
same extent. His psychology is the
same, however, whatever happens to
be his role.
Irene Rich, who appears in many
OF Warmers society plays gowned In
TIE height Of fashion, has a list Of
people to whom she gives her old
clothes-such as is their state. Oc-
casionally she keeps them, as there is
no reason why screen clothes cannot
be worn off stage. Several extra girls
receive most Of her old clothes.
Many actresses have learned thrift
through necessity while climbing the
ladder to fame. Among them are
Patsy Ruth Miller and Myrna 10y.
Miss Miller wears her things to
death" while Miss 10y makes her
dresses over and over until she 10
even ashamed to throw them away,
much less give them away. AS for
stockings, Miss 10y dyes her cast offs
and makes rag rugs out Of them.
Jane Winton gives her old clothes
away and finds that many discarded
silk pieces make excellent polishing
rags.
Louise Fazenda every once in 50
often takes a. lot of old gowns and
dresses out Of the closets and sends
them to several families in Los An
geles.
Many men do not like to get rid Of
an old hat or an old suit Of clothes,
and screen stars are no exception.
George Jessel wears his old clothes
until they are fit only for the paper
mill. Monte Blue keeps his old
clothes to wear in character parts.
Sgd Chaplin wears his old clothes
while working or lounging around the
house. Some he gives away to per-
sons he: has known for years and
whom his clothes happen to At.

Fencing Comes Back.
THE art of fencing ia coming bacl

THE art Of fencing Is coming back!
This art-for art it Is, as well
as sport-after having been practi-
cally lost for many years, is regain
ing its popularity and vogue swiftly.
No other branch of athletic endeavor
is as beneficial in SO many ways to
its adherents as the peaceful practice
of the old warlike code duello.
Fencing develops the small but
important muscles usually neglected
by other athletic training. yet vital
to q well rounded development.
The wrists and forearm muscles;
the small f1bers of the calf and thigh;
the minor muscles Of the back and
shoulders-all are individually used
and developed by the foils in proper
proportion to the ma j0r muscles.
In the olden days fencing was a
means of offense and defense. Every
court dandy and aristocrat carried
a sword and knew how to use It, 1t
enabled them to hold their own
against the rough. burly brutes who
lurked In every highway and byway,
ready to attack and rob the wayfarer.
Their mastery Of the rapier and Its
resultant muscular and mental train
Ing gave the aristocrats the upper
mentally the superiors Of the much
stronger ruffians OF that day.
Many high schools now number
fencing among their physical training
courses. Colleges and universities
generally consider it a major sport
and maintain classes. intercollegiate
fencing matches are now ranked
with basket ball and swimming meets
In Importance and hailed accordingly.
The youth of the land is returning to
the lost art of the aristocrats of
olden days.
Such old stage favorites as "The
Prisoner Of Zenda,' The Three
Musketeers, THE Count Of Monte
Cristo" and Monsieur Beaucaire"
are perennial successes in stock and
revival, due largely to the intensity
and excitement of the fencing scenes.
Efforts are made to inject the utmost
reality into the sword play scenes in
the pictures mentioned. There is
also a thrilling duel in Don Juan's
Three Nights" at Crandall's Metro
politan and Ambassador Theaters, be-
ginning today.

HOLLYWOOD, October Q. R.-
The roster Of famous names at many
motion picture studies is in reality
catalogue of sidetracked ambitions.
And. which generally is unusual in
cases where one has failed in ambi-
ton, most of the great artists are
happy in the success they did not ex-
pect.
In the Metro oGoIdwyn.Mayer studio
1t was found that Lon Chaney. as a
boy. dreamed of wearing the mantle
Of a Richard Mansfield, and enacting
on the stage, the works of Shakes
peare. Instead, he became stage
comedian and dancer-then. by a
trick OF fate, king Of character actors
Of the screen.
Ramon EOvarro wanted to be an
opera singer-and instead became the
hero of "Ben.Hur."
Antonio Moreno would have been
priest--if fate had not turned him
toward the screen.
Norman Kerry's ambition was to
be an engineer and he graduated
from an engineering college before he
was sidetracked to fame in the
movies.
Conrad Nagel wanted to be law
yer. and in college studied law. The
stage claimed him, however.
Carmel Myers sought a career as
writer. She was taken from a news
paper local room to the screen.
Eleanor Boardman studied art. Her
ambition was to rival Rosa Bonheur.
She still paints little things-but for
her friends and not for fame.
