screen villains last longer than heroes.
This will be a sad blow to the multi

and handsome young men who make
love so adorably for public delectation,
and the no less brave and even more
beautiful young women who act on the
receiving end of the loving.
But let the truth be told, even though
the heavens fall. Time, the unfeeling.

an Office Music was Schenck's forte,
and he finally decided to organize a
boys band. He got together Is boys
and the band played before $500 peo-
pie a night in Brooklyn Summer

Van as general manager and singer.
Here developed one of the most IA
nous teams of the American stage.
Schenck introduced the novel method
of playing accomplishments with his

The little trick discovered in the old

About the Ostrich.

Very much like a lady twitching her
shoulders and pushing up the edge of
her veil," adds Mr.. johnson.
Dipping his beak with shovel
like motion into the pool the ostrich
dishes up mouthful of water and then
upraises his head and lets the water
trickle down his long neck. This pro-
cess is repeated several times with much
comical hitching and gesturing between
swallows.
THE orstrich, by the way, can find
water in sandy spots where other
animals look in vain for a drink. 1t
is usually in small deep hole into
which the ostrich thrusts his head, and
to any one in the distance the bird
appears to be hiding his head in the
sand. This probaly has given rise to
the time honored tradition that the
ostrich buries its head in the sand
when pursued by man."

Shift Their Allegiance.

IF your vaudeville memory Is working
= you won't have much trouble in
recalling the story of Gus Van and
Joe 'Schenck, the two Brooklyn boys
who suddenly broke" into the zieg-
field Follies a few years ago. These same
boys are now appearing in Metro Movie
tone Act.
Recently asked why they had de-
serted the vaudeville and musical COM
edy stage, they were just as quick with
an explanation as they ordinarily are
with an encore to one of their hilarious
songs
Evolution" answered Joe, lis the
cause Of it all. Just shoot ahead with
the best you have and sooner or later
folks are going to ask you to do some
thing bigger and better"
The story of Van and Schenck is one
of the romances of the show business.
Gus Van began his career as a motor
mana singing motorman. Eventually
he discarded his uniform and landed
q job in Tony Marks Cafe in Brook
Ign, N. Y, just II years ago. There
he made the acquaintance of Joe
Schenck, a boy from his own neighbor-
hood, who played the piano.
They separated after a short partner

Devoted Sisters.

4 PERSONAL maid on the set is a
necessity for most motion picture
actresses, but Liza Toro, who has the
leading role in THE Yelled Woman,
Fox film, is saved the expense of a
maids salary.
She is waited upon, hand and foot
by her two younger sisters, whom she
brought with her to Hollywood from
Brazil. Always one of them is in at
tendance, and usually both. They evil
anticipate ' her eve every wish when she she
is playing a scene, they stand breath
lesSly watching her, having not the
least doubt that she is the greatest
actress on the screen.

THE philosophy of the ostrich seems
to rest on a -proud-to-fight
basis, says Martin Johnson, who, with
Mrs. Johnson, have photographed the
African jungle, II have never seen
them attack one another. Beasts of
prey seem to be wary of his vicious
downward blow, for the Johnsons say
they never saw signs of an ostrich hav-
ing been killed by another animal in
all their African travel.
Referring to their drinking hole COM
edy, as Mr.. johnson calls it, both the
male and the female ostrich have their
little motions and gestures with which
they prelude the act of quenching their
thirst. Upon reaching the edge Of the
water hole the ostrich settles itself
and glances haughtily about. If 1t Is
a male he takes a sip or two, his mo-
tons reminding one Of fastidiouS
gentleman-one who would flourish q

before drinking.

ing herself, rises slightly on her toes
flutters her wings and goes through
all sorts of twitchings and arrangings
