THERE ARE MANY
PATHWAYS TO
STARDOM

1t has been said that every
body has a chance to make good
in the movies-all he has to do il
make good on the chance. And
an investigation into the early
careers of reIgning screen favor
ties. made by Agnes Smith, a
writer for Photoplay, proves at
least that youthful environment,
training or former condition of
servitude has little to do with the
matter.
Here are some of the early life
facts she reveals:
Doug Fairbanks In his early
twenties was wasting his jumping
genius on the prosaic Job and
scant pay of 4 Wall Street clerk.
That was at the beginning of the
century. at about the time that
John Barrymore was a young
illustrator for the New York
Evening Journal.
Lon Clancy worked for years
as a stage hand before he realized
and made others appreciate
his possibilities.
JOHN 1l1OeFL AOid auE0mODliG
tires for a living not so long ago,
and william Haines. fresh from
college, was selling bonds when
he won handsome man contest
which landed him in Hollywood.
Monte Blue got into the movies
through his connection as a stage
carpenter, and Wallace Berry
washed the elephants In a circus
among other things before he
arrived. William Boyd worked In
the California orange groves and
was a very good grocer's clerk in
Los Angeles before he got his
chance, while Lloyd Hughes
served time as a butchers delivery
boy. Larry Semon and Harry
Langdon both worked for years
as newspaper artists before they
decided they were miscast in life.
Langdon drew comic pictures for
the Omaha Bee and Semon was
on the New York Telegram.

Sudermann's well.known story,

tragic emotional revolt Of a man

stubbornly, and she shook her head
slightly. But Faith was relieved to
see that almost instantly the ex-
pressive face changed, registered
concern. Cherry even managed a
couple of great, round, glistening
tears, which slipped down her
cheeks-as white and fine and
smooth as petals Of gardenia. The
lovely little mouth trembled convinc-
ingly.

whispered brokenly to Faith. That's

Menstruation is a perfectly natu-

NEEDLESS. Long study has abso-
lutely conquered menstrual pain.
Science now offers women reliable
and complete relief-in a simple.
utterly harmless tablet called midOl.
This newest achievement Of the
laboratory has nothing to do with
drastic, habit-forminG drugs that kill
pain by benumbing the whole sys-
tenn. Midol acts directly on the or
gans affected by menstruation, and
nowhere else. Yet relief and abso-
Lutte comfort come in five to seven
minutes.
So, why have a twinge Of pain
feel low or even uncomfortable!
Or take anything to depress the
