MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March 27.-Of
course, Hollywood would supply the
world with the synthetic leg.
Neither cork, aluminium nor wood-a
fiesh-and-blood leg, but one whose
beauty Is artihcially provided by a
masseuse.
Two Of the colony's stars confess
they owe their famous curving limbs to
the energetic and scientific manipula-
ton OF an expert masseuse.
It all came out when Mae Murray
went to court over a $3.50 bill which
her masseuse said was owed by the
blond star.
Macs contention was that the legs
which were the resultant of the manip-
ulation did not warrant the price. In
other words, the calf-to-ankle curve
was not all it should be.
Mae didn't take into consideration
that she is few years older than Alice
White, who proflted greatly through the
attention Of a masseuse. Neither did
she take into consideration the fact
that while a courtroom may be amused
by the idea of an artificially produced
nether-limb beauty, the claimant who
cxpends her vitality to produce this
Rodinesque elimination so devoutly to
be wished in Hollywood comes in for
the sympathy of the jury. The mas
seuse won out. And the legs are hold
ing their own probably until a new
beautifier can be found.
Alice White, possessor of officially
perfect synthetic limbs, was arrested
while speeding to court in Miss Muir
rays behalf to exhibit to judge and
jury the result of perfect massage,
which Mae Murray says she did not
have.
Alice had a last years license plate
on her car, and some old meanie with
star discovered it. But how can q

! for an hour each day, stand eight hours
before the cameras, another two hours
| at the beautician's attending to race
and head, and the rest Of her waking
hours in the hands Of gymnasium
director be expected to remember such
irrevelant things as license plates?
| The word plate" has only one horror
to star. 1t stands for that awful day
when an upper and lower set means
! the turning down OF the bright lights
and the wheeling away OF the camera
that 1t may be trained on some bright
young thing with the legs God gave
her and the best type OF straight-eight
teeth.
And now, ladies and gentlemen. here

quirements for the leading lady Of the
