As for exercise, the attractive mezzo-soprano be-
leves that any type of sport you really have lot of
fun doing helps the general figure contour. 1t isn't in
the least necessary to excel just enjoy yomself!
And here Gladys again practices what she
preaches for she admits her tennis is nothing to brag
about and she swms because she likes the water
and even better the delightful relaxation of bask
ing in the sum-"
There are many simple exercises which can be done
(and fun too) when in beach togs One in particular
seems to exert every muscle in the body It's merely
that of lying fiat the back with outstretched
straight the head. Then rise slowly keeping the
arms straight above the head and bend until the finger
tips touch the toes
Another favorte routine for telltale waistline and
thigh buges is to lie fiat the back and draw the
knees upward to the chest and lower them quickly.
For added alertness of body (and mind) Gladys
Swarthout suggests fencing She and her husband,
Frank Chapman, also singer, both admit to many
convivial amateur match.
A graceful walk and correct posture are natural at
tributes with Miss Swarthout She carries her chin up
and let's the torso shoulders and head relax completely
Forget about them," she exclaims.
And as final note she emphatically states: "Be
busy if you would be slender and healthy"

And Miss Swarthout, who is enchantingly remembered
for her agile Interpretation of Stephano Romeos page

roles with the Chicago Civic Opera, appreciates the
Importance of keeping in trim.
Along with plenty of industry throughout the day.
the svete prima donna adds the health ingredients:
sensible diet of moderate proportions of dishes she
heartily enjoys and proper exercise to make the
body supple. Then she claims: 'You need never worry
about that too, too solid fesh.'"
Because singing is one of the most hunger making
exercises" she gives herself the luxury of two break
fasts But quickly adds: THE first is orange juice
and coffee very early in the morning before horseback
riding and the second is real breakfast of eggs bacon
or whatyou-wish before settling down to work" Her
theory is: EAT and then burn it up with energy"
Unlike other opera stars, Miss Swarthout has never
followed the traditional late eating habit after per-

NEW YORK, July 9 U.N.S0.
Film fans and actors today
mourned the passing Of Thomas
Meighan, beloved film star who
died at his Great Neck, L. l., home
last night after lingering illness.
The 57-year-old actor had been
i'll for several years but was be-
lieved to be on the road to re-
covery until about three weeks
ago when he suffered recurrence
Of an organic ailment.
A year ago Meighan underwent
an operation here for a throat
ailment so serious that physicians
held little hope for his recovery.
But he fooled the docs" as he
explained later, although his
health remained delicate due to
these ailments and earlier attacks
of pneumonia and pleuriSy.
Suddenness of the stars death
came as a shock today to his mil
lions of picture fans and legion OF
friends in the show business who
recently had deluged him with
kilograms expressing concern over
his condition and wishing him
well.
Died in Coma
The actor lapSed into a coma
shortly after Z o'clock last eve
ming and died two hours later
without regaining consciousness.
At the bedside we're his wife,
Frances, a sister of Blanche Ring,
noted actress; his brother James;
a sister, May Meighan; Mrs. Leon
Enrol, wife of the actor, and Jo-
seph Schenck, his next-door
neighbor and longtime friend.
Although funeral plans had not
been completed early today, it was
expected the body would be sent
to Campbell's funeral chapel here
today and that solemn requiem
mass would be sung in st. Pat
rick'S Cathedral Saturday morn
ing.
Besides his widow, the actor is
survived by three brothers -
James E. and John A. Meighan,
of Pittsburgh, and William j.
Meighan, of Hagerstown, Md,
and two sisters, Miss May
