FOR MARY GARDEN =
Film Studio Fight
Of Lion, Puma
Turns Real
BY HARRISON CARROLL

Copyright. 1888, King Features Syndicate
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 20.-Mur-
ders. holocausts, terrible accidents
I've seen them all, but the big
gest thrill came yesterday when a
lion and a puma staged a death
fight as an unprecedented climax
to a motion picture scene at the
Paramount Studio.
For two hours we had been
waiting-having our pictures made
looking through the wire barrier,
grabbing to Director Eddie Suther-
land about the delay, wiSe-crack-
ing about the docile looking lions,
the pumas lying upon their backs
like house cats, the doing
leopards, the 1udicrously grinning
hyenaS.
What an anti-climax, we jeered,
if the animals refused to come out
Of their cages when the doors
were opened, when the half dozen
cameras started grinding on the
big scene for Murder in the Zoo"
Then came Eddie Sutherland's
call for lights, for action.
The murderer Of the story
dashed across the room, pulled a
lever releasing all the doors Of the
line of cages.
A moments tension. A lion
climbed gingerly out. A leopard
flashed into the aisle. Another
lion. A puma jumped nervously.
For weeks these animals had
been trained to work together,
but something went wrong. A
puma tried to slither by a lion.
There was a snarl. Suddenly,
the two animals were coming
headlong towards the camera.
The puma tried to pivot, slipped.
The lion was upon him, Seizing
the middle of his back.
Vaguely we were aware OF
other movements-the willy leop-
ards that took to the top of the
cages, the hyenas covering in
their cells, the other pumaS leap
ing nimbly, the lions falling over
one another. But, with an awful
fascination, the eyes came back
to that silent deadly struggle.
Unable to avoid it, Director
Eddie Sutherland never allowed
it to finish. Pistols - blank
cartridges-roared in the lions
face. Men jabbed at him.
Snarling, he backed away.
But the puma, its back broken
lay upon the floor. A merciful
shot ended its suffering.
Subduel we were, pasty-fAced a
few of us, as we came down from
the platform after the animals
had been driven back into their
cages.
The mild thrill had turned out
to be a tragedy, the cinema
drama had turned real.
And I'm not so hard-boiled. I
know that now.

Character Parade

Character Parade +
I jotted down a number Of
Impressions as the characters
passed in parade, and I present
them to you herewith. The
room contains but six tables
and all of them were never oc-
cupied at one time. The con-
versations, then, were easily
recorded. So:
A party of three, seated two
tables away. All Americans. A
girl and two men. The girl
seemed to be brooding about
someone, possibly a lover, who
had loved well and left wisely.
One young man, surely no
more than twenty-five, had a
complete set of whiSkerS. What
he could have used far more
to his advantage would have
been a complete set Of diapers.
The other young man was
dressed in sloppy clothes, un-
doubtedly for effect. He seemed
to think he was a book critic,
which, God help him, he prob
ably was. To him there wasn't
an author alive who wasn't a
fool, American authors and
Ernest Hemingway, in par
ticular.
"Mencken is a fool" I heard
him say. "He is too harsh in
many spots and too soft in
others. But the thing cannot
forgive him for is the fact that
he likes Hemingway who will
never be able to write. Never,
I tell you"
The young man with the
whiSkerS:
I'm inclined to agree with
you. He writes in many in
stances merely for the effect
he knows he can create. Your
real Russian author has never
done that. He is an author,
not a performer. Yes, I am
inclined to agree with you"
The girl:
II don't think mother will
be down tonight. don't think
she feels as well as she might.
I think she misses her friends
in New Haven. Isn't that silly?
Imagine coming all the way to
Berlin in order to miss friends
in New Haven't"

spectful and addressed him
always as Baron"
The woman watched the
young American at the bar
very carefully. Her eyes watched
his every nervous move. After
he had looked at himself in the
scale mirror on one occasion,
the woman arose with her wrap
and her pocketbook. She trip
ped to the scale and weighed
herself.
When she returned to the
table she seemed puzzled. She
sat for ten minutes, arose sud-
denly, left her wrap behind,
carried her pocketbook and
weighed herself without a word.
The baron finally stirred him
. self and paid the 'scheck. He
left no tip for the bartender.
But the bartender was far
more courteous to. the baron,
who tipped nothing, than he
was to me. who tipped too
much.
Outside the woman heSitated.
She handed both her pocket
book and her wrap to the
baron and weighed herself a
third time. When she turned
around she was nodding with
satisfaction. The puzzled look
had disappeared.
There were many other char
acters; far too many. I fear,
for me to describe them all
here. The biggest kick to me,
however, arrived with a party
Of four who took the table next
to mine about the same time
as I had decided to leave.
Said party consisted Of two
men and two women. One man
was English: the girls and the
other man obviously German
The Englishman was holding
the floor and he was such a
complete fool that I called for
my check without delay.
Bored With Life
This young man was making
no bones about the fact that
he was bored with life. Al
though he was English. he
said, he hated Englishmen. He
didn't know just what to do
with himself, really. Life held
little for him. The French
failed to amuse him and the
Germans-present company ex-
cluded, ha ha-were almost as
bad. He talked on and on,
and all the while saying moth
ing whatsoever.
When my check had been
settled and was gathering my
newspapers, I listened again
for a moment. My eyebrows
must have gone up. For, in
some strange manner, the con-
versation had shifted to the
theatrical business in New York.
The EngliShman was still hold
ing the floor and he was
talking, of all places, about the
Roxy Theater.
MY dear friends" he was
saying, what tell you I know
to be the truth. You have no
idea of the money that people
spend on amuSementS in Amer
lea. Simply no idea. Why,
I've been told on the most
reliable authority that this
same Roxy Theater has taken
in almost a million dollars a
week ever since it has been
opened! Fancy that, if you
can.
"Oh, of course, they keep the
figures down. They're doing
that all over America these
days, understand. Why
should the American Govern
ment let us know over here
how truly wealthy they are over
there? A million dollars a week
in one theater! Can you
imagine such a thing?"
The situation. called for a
little action. I turned squarely
around-but one look at the
imbecile's twitching face con-
vinced me that I would be
wasting my time. So I sighed
heavily, arose in such a manner
that I pushed his drink into
his lap, went upstairs and took
q nap.

NO SPIRIT OF DISLIKE OR
HATRED IN JAPAN AGAINST
AMERICANS, SAYS M'ALPINE
Presbyterian Missionary to
Japan Gives View of
the Far East

There is no spirit Of dislike or
hatred on the par. Of the Japa-
nese people for the American peo-
pie. according to DR.. r. f. Nc
Anime, Presbyterian missionary,
who returned to this country last
November after spending forty
seven years among the japanese
people.
DR.. McAlpine was a visitor in
HenderSonvillc las, night and was
heard at the mid-week service at
the Presbyterian church. Since
his retirement from the mission
work he has been making his
home in WinstOn-Salem.
Commenting this morning on
the possibility of friction between
this country and Japan, Dr.. Nc
Alpine expressed the opinion that
there was no cause for such trou-
bile between the two nations. Fur
Their commenting or press dis
patches Of yesterday which told
of two American soldiers being
arrested by Japanese authorities
for photographing Japanese army
maneuverS, he declared that the
japanese were easily eXcitable on
this point and that any foreigner
with a camera in a restricted zone
was Immediately under suspicion.
He declared that this incident
should not be considered as ar
expression Of any hostile spirit on
the part Of the Japanese toward
Americans.
Dr.. McAlpine advanced the
thought that in the present con-
troversy between Japan and China
there were points to be consid-
cred on both sides of the question.
The present situation, he said,
grew out of Japan's efforts for Il
number Of years to preserve 4
friendly government in the 10
lean peninsula. Geographically,
he said Korea is a drawn sword
penetrating into the Japanese
island, and for security Japan has
always felt that Korea should be
friendly.
For this reason, he said, Japan
fought two major wars, one with
Russia and one with China. At
the conclusion of the Russian
war Japan fell heir to number
of rights in Manchuria, which had
previously been granted to Russia
by China. For example, the Jap
anese gained the right to build
railroads and develop the cOun-
try. but. he added, through regu-
latiOns and" fines and fees, the
Chinese sought to hinder the Jap
anese. There accumulated in this
manner a number of problems
which the Chinese were slow to
recognize. The matter was large
