first position and relax completely
before repeating the exercise.
While going through the move
ments, try to have the back and
stomach as flat as you can get
them. Gradually increase the time
given to this exercise.
EXERCISE II
Position: Stand with feet to-
gether, arms flung overhead.
Movement: Pivot on the waist,
bending the trunk sharply to the

right and back, and to the left
again. Pause for a moment and
repeat the rotation. Hold the hips
facing squarely to the front during
the exercise.
EXERCISE III
Position: Stand with feet wide
apart, elbows turned out and
fingers interlaced so that palms Of
hands are to the floor.
Movement: Contracting the alb
dominal muscles so that the lower
wall is quite flat, bend over to
touch the clasped hands, palms
down, to the floor at the side OF
the left foot. From this position
swing over and touch the palms
to the side of the right foot. Stand
erect and relax, then repeat the
exercise five times. Try to make
all the movements rhythmical and
you will enjoy the exercise more.
These exercises will give you a
good start on those excess waist

a few days, begin to use those
given in the leaflet, "Waitslines
and BeltlineS."

"The city of Washington has

of it in the schools. AS result
it is probably true that no chill

Moreover, excess waiStline inches
have a cruel way of adding years
to the appearance. The young
figure is flexible and slim with
the waistline clearly defined. The
old figure owes its age not SO
much to padded shoulders and
heavy hips as to bullying waist
line.
When this middle measurement
begins to expand, it's sign you
are getting too little physical &C
tivity-not that you are getting
old. You can't expect to have a
youthful figure unless you con-
tinue the exercise that makes Tor
youthful figures, and you will have
to twist, bend and stretch to keep
slim.
Of course you will groan at the
idea of planned exercise, but not
for long. There is nothing like
waistline exercise to make you
feel tops. You'll even breathe
easier. once you free that dlaph-
ragm of encumbering fat. you may
lose any shor ness Of breath which
has bothered you.
To be slim wasted is to look
and feel younger, SO begin today
with these stretchy, elongatlng
exercises:
EXERCISE I
Position: Lie flat on the back
on the floor, arms stretched
straight out on floor above head,
and feet stretching downward.
Have the small Of the back as
close to the floor as possible.

Father q Baronet

NV father was Sir Arthur Evans
Clare, oxford graduate, knighted
by Edward VII for service in India
with the Shropshire Yeomanry.
But Dad had always had a yen to
be an actor, so when he left the
army he drifted to the stage. For
four years he appeared with Sir
Henry Irving in Shakespearean
roles, eventually coming to this
country and forming his own
troupe.
At other times he had been a
choir singer and had also studied
for the clergy. He was always a
dreamer, often Impractical, but
the best companion I ever had.
And he gave me most OF my
schooling.
After he turned actor. Dad
dropped the Sir" and the Evans"
and was known as plain Arthur
Clare. My mother was Alice Ha-
zen, daughter of a well-to-do Bos-
ton jeweler, George w. Hazen.
That name appealed to me. When
I was nine years old, 1 decided to
call myself Gladys George w. Ha-
zen. And that eventually became

BY Louis SObOl-
Down Memory Lane
With GLADYS George

The poet Hood may have been
able to remember the house where
he was born, but that's because
he wasn't born while the COM
pany was on tour. I was.
The company was my fathers
travelling stock show, and it
stopped off just long enough in
Patten, Maine, for little Gladys
to put in her appearance. AS soon
as my mother could 60 back on
the road with me, the troupe re.
sumed its travels. SO that was
practically born on the stage and
it has seemed like home to me
ever since.

STAGE Debut at 3

ON0SS NSN4'
I was born September 10, and
at the age of three I made my
debut as Little Tommy in Back
Among the Old Folks" in Water
bury, Conn, continuing in almost
every child role then known to the
Poll Stock Company, which was
nv parents troupe. My first
definite, though vague, memories
of myself on the stage, are as
Little Willie in EAST Lynne"
with my mother as Lady 1sobel.
At my fathers persuasion, she
turned actress, too.
* X
Until reached the fourth
grade, I went to school for a few
weeks at a time, wherever the
company happened to be playing.
For q time the Clares settled
down in Lynn, Mass, and then I
had a chance to catch up with my
education for a while, but my
father was my real tutor. My
recreation was dancing and sing
ing, and I had visions of myself
some day as a musical comedy
queen. Which I never became.
But by the time I was eight, I
was the star of my own vaude-
vile act. Little Gladys George
and Company, in THE Dream
Doll"
The following year we we're
stranded in Napanef, Ontario,
where the johnson Brothers Fa-
nous Medicine Show was playing.
One of the Mr.. Johnsons, first on
a list of good fairies" took the
family in and we all Joined his
show. He taught me tricks of
magic and 1 was billed as THE
Child Marvel" But the law
caught up with Mr.. johnson and
the child marvel eventually went
back to vaudeviTe when my
father managed to book the act
for a tour of the Southwest.

The act struggled along until
was Is and Outgrew it. Dad
got a job as manager of the Hip
pOdrOme in Dallas, Texas. and
/ was his cashier. Then, like
the plot in some ancient melO-
drama, came word from Eng
land that he, Sir Arthur, was
heir to an estate, and that Sir
Francis Moses, barriSter for the
estate, was en- route to New York
with the papers to be signed.
Stranded in N. Y.
On the strength of it, Dad gave
I'D his JOB and we all left for New
York, after borrowing train fare.
Came the anti-climax to the melo-
drama. Sir Francis died on ship
board. We couldn't borrow the
money to go to England.
AS far as I know, the estate is
still in chancery there. This year
or next, if I can take sufficient
time off, I'm going to find out.
For the first time since then, I
have sufficient money to pay for
the trip.
But at the moment somebody
had to get a job in New York. 1
modelled at $12 a week and I sold
candy at SO week. until I got my
first Broadway role as the beg

production of Maeterlincks THE

From that went on tour with
the Coburns. I was Just becom
ing known as a leading woman
when an accident sent me to the
hospital for almost a year.
I was cooking doughnutS in my
apartment when the grease
caught fire and splashed onto my
arms and face. There's no trace
on my face now, for I threw ur
my arm to shield my eyes. MY
right arm still carries sm~u scar
though.
