HAS
ADDICTS AT
STUDIO
By HARRISON CARROLL


Copyright. 1880. Premier Syndicate, Inc.)
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Dec. 16.
A group Of Hollywood stars are
taking football seriously enough
to play it.
Headed by Douglas Fairbanks,
jr., they gather at the United
Artists Studio, choose sides, and
play as enthusiastically as kids on
q vacant lot.
For the purpose Of injecting a
little excitement in the game,
they invite members of the Uni
versity Of Southern California
team to join in the festivities.
Some Of the football-minded
stars are Douglas Fairbanks, jr.,
Johnny Mack Brown, one-time
quarterback Of the Alabama
team; Charles Farrell, Russell
Gleason, Quinn Chg Boy) VIII
hams, Billy Bakewell, and Doug,
sr.'s trainer, Chuck Lewis, who
played for Missouri and Cornell,
and was, I believe, an all-American.
The film stars brand Of foot
ball is, of course, not as hald on
the anatomy as the real thing.
On forward passes and end --u.,s,
the ball-carrier is tagged instead
of tackled. If the play goes
through the line, however, he is
hit in regulation style.
So far, the casualties have
been limited to Billy Bakewell's
twisted knee.
Murnau's Activities
Music and sound effects are
being added to F. w. Murnau's
South Sea picture, Taboo" at
the Tec-Art Studio in Hollywood.
According to his friends, Mr..
Murnau still is undecided about
a release Of the film. mas

Murnau'S leading woman in

by those who have seen the
film.
LlOyd's Plans
Having discarded the idea of
another college picture, Harold
Lloyd has his staff working on
q story with reporter hero.
Little other information is
available, except that the action
takes place in Florida.
The comedian was reluctant to
abandon the proposed football
picture, but ultimately decided
against it because Of possible
association with ''The Fresh.
man."
Despite dissimilarities, Harold's
latest film, Feet First" has
been compared to Safety Last"
one OF his early hits, which also
mao a skyScraper sequence. In
view Of the pronounced coolness
OF the public to re-nnakes. Har.

happen again.

No. During recent years millions

ourist hastily interrupted himself.
that isn't an invitation to tell me
about Ragdad. and all that. I would
like to know something about
crops, and what is and has been
raised here. Can you tell me?"
The Cub Reporter answered IN
the affirmative.
Il see In the paper where cabbage
has gone on a rampage. Bringing
abnormally high prices. Tell me
about cabbages."
1T Is true that cabbage Is king in
1880, but cabbage has always been
a favorite crop. From 1907 until
the present date, cabbage has been
crown in the Valley in large
amounts. And acreage and returns
are increasing annually. In 1907
only three vegetables were grown
in any large amounts. these being
cabbage. onions and watermelons.
During that year. 1855 cars Of cab
bages were shipped north"
That's a lot OF cabbage.
I'm 1924 around $3.50 cars were
shipped. That's q lot Of cabbages."
Cohorts Of King Cabbage
you said that in 1907 only three
types OF vegetables were shipped In
carload lots. How many do you
ship now-about three times that
many?"
Better than 10 times that many
are now shipped. These include
cabbage, lettuce, onions, carrots.
beets, corn. spinach. beans. toma-
toes, turnips. cucumbers, c~analoupes,
radishes. eggplant. and such fancy
stuff as escarole, anise, chickory,
dandelions. endive, romaine, shall
lots. and parsley"
do you mean that .chickory. broc-
coli. anise and escarUle are shipped
in carload lotS?"
Exactly. In 1928 43 cars Of anise
were shipped. and SO of broccoli"
Someone has told me that farm
ers here set out their acreage in
citrus trees, and then plant vege-
tables in between until the trees
begin to bear fruit and pay Tor
themselves. Is that right?"
Old Spanish Custom
Its an old Spanish custom. Not
only do they plant corn and cabbage
among the oranges and grapefruit
until the trees begin to bear, but
afterwards. And on the same
land they reap several crops a year."
Il suppose that is another old
Spanish custom"
Il don't know whether it's Span
iSh or not. but 1t Is certainly pleas
ant, especially when baby needs
new shoes and the Ford needs new

With several crops being har-
vested on the same ground during

vesting time must be a continuous
performance"
Planting time in the Valley Is
