MANY LIVES In
ONE THAT'S
MISSFAYE

The life OF an actress is not
always her own.
For example there Is the case
OF Julia Faye, who in the period
of year has been a Tartar
maid, canteen worker. Queen
Victoria and now. Turkish
harem wife.
OF course it was all in the
movies that she assumed thess
various other lives, but It ali
goes to prove, nevertheless, that
an actress life Is not always of
her own making.
1t takes months Of. study and
preparation to fit ones self into
a foreign character and role.
The customs OF the people to be
portrayed must be studied, their
costumes copied and even their
mental processes must in many
cases be simulated.
In Miss Faye'S own words: "It
is easier by far to be Just an
American girl"
: Co-featured with Miss Fave in
Turkish Delight" her latest pic
ture, is Rudolph Schildkraut, who
has made the living OF other

Few people have any idea what
a script girl is or, rather. what
she does. To state it briefly, she
is the directors memory" Ii a
director even attempted to re-
member all his, thousand and one
details he'd be carried off the
set within a week. So they have
script girls who sit beside the
camera and record the details of
each players costume, note
whether doors are opened with
the right or left hand, what fin
gers rings are worn on, etc.
The importance of this is I'M
possible to overestimate. On the
screen we see a man open q door
and walk from one room to an.
other, It is quite possible that
a month or more may have
elapsed IN the SJuolO from the
time Of photographing his open
ing the door to the time of en-.
tering the room. The door might
have been On an exterior in Tex

it wouldn't do for an actor to be

and then entering the room in
golf knickers, wearing nous

wild Catv Garter Wins Z
Bout With Vic Foley

wildcat" Carter, Seattle's sensa-
tional featherweight and Vic Foley
of Vancouver, B. c., slugged away at
each other for six furious rounds in
the final bout at Crystal Pool last
Tuesday night without either of the
two being able to definitely establish
his superiority over the other. Car
ter won the decision and it was close.
So closes many of the boxing fans
booted the decision, and claimed a
draw. Carter won alright, for he
clearly took four of the rounds. The
colored hoy sailed into Foley in the
first round as though he wanted to
make a short fight of it. Carter car
ried Foley throughout this round so
fast that the white boy was. only
able to send in one good punch to
the colored boy. Carter wore a sat-
isfied smile as he came out for the
second session. He crossed left and
right to Foley's head at will and
brought several terrific punches to
the Canadians mid-section. Carter
slowed down in the third canto and
Foley took It by a wide margin. He
landed several hefty punches that
made Carter vince. "Wildcat" sail
ed into Foley again in the fourth and
easily outpointed Foley. The white
boy won the fifth by a slight shade.
Carter won the final round by left
hand jabs to- Foley's face and hefty
right to the white boys mid-section.
Carriers win over Foley was no fluke.
He has improved in boxing skill and
he also packs a terrific wallop. Car
ter demonstrated that he will have to
be reckoned with among the foremost
featherweights. Four other bouts
were staged. Ray Woods and Frank
lie Marco fought four rounds for a
draw. Mako should have got the
decision but referee Harold Jones
didn't see it that way. Harvey Hol-
liday of Vancouver won his four
rounds with Zolo Abregon of Manil-

Bercot, the Monroe battler knocked
out Joe Jewett of Portland. Tuesday
