Archie Mayo
Says Lions
Too Tame
Turns to Tigers,
Which Can Show
Some Ire.

TINE men who have devoted their
lives to training lions for mo-
i ton picture work perhaps have
done too good job Of it-may-
be they've trained them out Of highly
lucrative income.
Archie Mayo, directing Samuel Gold
wyn's "The Adventures Of Marco Polo" !"
engaged five of the big cats from a
local lion farm. He wanted cats that
would snarl, grab Justify at raw meat,
and fight.
As soon as the camera was set up,
the lions began showing the effects Of
years Of tanning. Despite the best
efforts Of their trainers, they wouldn't
give-just sat and licked each others
paws.
They're 50 gentle it's hard to get
them worked up" apologized their
keeper.
And so Mayo and his company wait
ed, still the lions wouldn't show that
fierce spirit with which they are asso-
ciated-they liked the peace of the
stage so much they went to sleep.
Finally Mayo gave up in disgust and
ordered the beasts home and followed
that decision with some very peril
nent remarks which aren't very fat-
tering to lions.
Lions have cost the various studios
more money in wasted time than any
other animals" he asserted. They're
not dumb; the fault lies in the fact
that they are too good natured. Like
the house cat all they want is a good
feed and warm place to sleep in and

Screen Discovery
Turns Down a
Film Career.

DIRECTOR MARION GERING,
credited with several screen dis
coveries found among the ranks Of
the unknowns, Is currently in the
unique position Of having a screen

A few night ago, while en- route to
his home after q day at Columbia
Studios, where he is directing "she
Married an Artist" the fllm director
stopped at a roadside eating stand
for 4 late evening snack.
Gering was quite sleepy, but in
stantly snapped into full wakefulness
as glorious baritone singing voice
issued from the little service opening
OF the kitchen. and the same opening
framed handsome young face Of the
Francis Lederer type.
Inquirilg, Gering became doubly
interested when he learned that the
youth, fry cook named Paul Sikorski,
came from Warsaw, Poland. } I'M
pressed with the youths voice and
appearance, the director offered him
q screen test and chance at q fllm
career.
Instead Of jumping at the opportu-
nifty, however, Sikorski declined. He
explained that he preferred his pres
ent work, owns a half interest in the
stand. and contemplates opening ad-
ditional stands, which will bring him
larger income.
A bewildered director went back to
sleep in hi car.

n YEW YORK, Dec. 22.-With all

4 he has Of winning more ball
games than any one else, the rockies,
and particularly 31-year-young Jim
Turner, were the cream Of the Ma

ing record, released today, showed
there was pitching galore in the senior
circuit But the old-timers, like Hub
bell and Hal Schumacher OF the pen
nant-winning Giants, or Dizzy Dean
and Paul Derringer and Lon Warneke,
didn't provide the major portion OF
evidence.
To be sure, the three generally ac-
cepted greatest" elbowers in the busi-
ness were well represented. Hubbell,
topping the non-lost records, showed
"a victories against 6 defeats for a per-
centage of 1888, and was the loops
strikeout king with 159 "kayo" VIC
tins, but his earned run average, the
barometer by which pitching effective
ness is measured, slipped to 3.1s per
