This is by way Of telling you that
the first pack of foxhounds ever in
Southern California has been un-
loaded and fed and watered. The
hounds are an importation of Mrs.
Phyllis French of New York, who
misses the grand old game of chasing
the fox, even in sunny California,
where cutting the smudge is the most
recent pastime.
Fox hunting is about the only sport
new to Southern Californians. The
caballeros of the Spanish days used
to hunt cougars and coyotes and the
present generation is right handy at
chasing clay pigeons, but the country
never has gone in for fox hunting.
For all I know. there are no foxes in
Southern California has a pack Of
hounds, it will find the foxes. even
Il 1t prove necessary to import few.
More Worry for Film Heads.
THE introduction of fox hunting
- into the community will provide
o further worry for motion picture
producers. The NJ. P. P. have wor-
ries enough, with polo becoming a
favorite sport with the cinema heroes,
and break into a nervous rash every
time one of the big handsome men
climbs aboard a pony for few brisk
chukkers. Some of the studios for
bid their hired men to engage in polo
when making a picture, as a cracked
flbula can do no end Of damage to
the production schedule.
Since Hollywood has gone COM
pletely daffy over horses, it will be no
time until some of the lads and lassies
develop a yen to chase the fox over
mountain and down canyon. II the
motion picture tycoonS think polo is
q tough spoft for their stars, lust
wait until they see the help galloping
up the sides Of the San Gabriel, Santa
Ana or San Bernardino Mountains.
It was inevitable that fox hunting
should find its way to Southern Cali
fornia and Hollywood. The boys and
girls in the cinema community have
every luxury to be had in the effete
East save fox hunting and they are
not the kind to let Aiken or Mill Creek
be out in front.
