RENT WAR
RELICS
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright $780, Premier
SynlicatA. Ihc.)

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, oct. 4.
An A. e. F. veteran of this city
has conceived a novel idea of
making the war pay him back for
the hardships he suffered in
France.
His scheme is to rent an exten.
sive collection of war relics to
film producers.
Gathered in his museum on the
outskirts of the motion picture
colony are engines of war from
all the armies that fought in the
great struggle.
There Is an automobile said TO
have been General Pershins' S
staff car. There is a Napier
automobile. in which Archduke
Ferdinand is declared to have
been riding when he was assassi-
mated.
There are German spads, Aus
trian lOng-range guns, French
ambulance, American field kitch.
ems, machine guns and rifles of
all nations, and dozens Of other
articles.
The collection first was put on
exhibition in q museum about
two years ago. Later on, with
the epidemic of war films, the
owner found it more profitable
to rent his equipment to movie
producers. He has enlarged it,
until now it contains all that is
necessary for q small war.
Pictures in which the equip
ment has been used include "Sne
Goes To War;" "DoughboyS,"
Half Shot at Sunrise" "Hell's
Angels" and many others. One
Of the few big war films in which
it has not been used was cali

return, she does two pictures for

that she viii not return here

Novel Illustrations

A sophisticated brand of poetry
is to be found in Roland Young's

This is the Roland Young of

The actor also illustrated the
book. There is an interesting
history to these Illustrations. It
seems that in a recent stage We
hicle Young was called upon to
scribble an order and hand it to
another actor. Instead of writing
words on the paper, he drew a
cartoon. The actor kept the car,
toons and gave them to Young
when the show closed.
Many Of them now are used in
