Sonja's income. from movies, skat-
ing tours and Endorsements, is said to
approximate a half million a year.
She invests in nothing foolish and she
has no expensive hobbies. Some folks
thought she was getting that way
when she paid $500 month for an
estate, but she kept it only three
months. Her present furnished house
costs about half that much.
Sonja's outstanding characteristic,
and an unusual one in this movie
world, is her self-control. This story,
which is minimized on the 20th Gen.
tury lot. is illustrative:
When she was making her first
picture she enthusiastically spent hour
after arduous hour on her skates
About $50 one night she understood
she could 60 home. 50 she went to
her dressing room and began to re-
move her costume.
But the days work wasn't done and
countless assistants began to demand
loudly who the heck this skater
thought she was, disappearing in the
midst of things They accused her
of being temperamental among other
charges. Sonia was in portable
dressing room on the stage and she
heard the whole TRADE.
She returned to the set, said I'm
sorry-I misunderstood" and worked
for another hour. Not until she got
home did she break down. She cried
so convulsively that her mother had
to call masseuse to quiet her nerves.
With almost any star you can think
of there'd have been a scene under
similar circumstances.
Sonia never has been guilty OF a
temperamental outburst Trained in
amateur atIlleIlCS during neT carly
years, she was disciplined as no other
picture parsonage. She is easy to
work with because she has been
trained to take orders and direction.
The inherent temperament of her
nationality must be considered also.
Her date with Tyrone Power the
other night caused those who know
the circumstances to wonder. Both
were starring in pictures when they
met and, acting on advice of their
publicity counsel, they agreed to let
their friendship be known as = ro-
nance.
It was embarrassing to Sonia, in
view of this circumstance. when Power
started rushing Janet Gaynor. She
let it be known to her few intimates
that she was disappointed when
Power, whom she considered only as
a good friend with many common
problems, suddenly stopped seeing her.
Her pride may have been hurt. but
her heart certainly wasn't broken.

and mine) they play games-unless

guests to get up and do = stunt. But
guests here are just as reluctant as
your own and they, too, have to be
coaxed.

to have policeman burst in on the
party at its height and declare every

NEW YORK.
Douglas Fairbanks, who disarms one
IN the first place by saying that he
doesn't know thing about business"
goes ahead with his plans to produce
motion pictures throughout the world.
This isn't really new career for the
55-year-old Fairbanks. He has been
. partner in United Artists for years.
His productions made millions for him.
Il wanted to take trip out to the
South Seas and China" he explained.
so went on the trip and made q
picture. I got my trip, and the pic
ture paid for it.
II think the same idea can be ex-
panded. Why conf1ne production Of
pictures to one place. as it is mostly
done in Hollywood? With the techni-
cal perfection you have now you can
produce pictures most anywhere So,
II picture is about Venice, why not
make it in Venice? If a picture is
about Santa Fe, why not mas in
Santa Fe?
What I want to do is shoot scenes
IN their native settings, rather than
build them out of papier mache."
Fairbanks moved about his Park
avenue suite with the energetic agility
that has characterized him from the
time he went into pictures in 1915
through such acrobatic thrillers as
THE Mark of Zorro to The Private
Life of Don Juan"
What was my last picture?" He
stopped to think You know. I can't
remember. They came so fast and
shooting schedules were so involved"
He laughed when one suggested that
he should appear on the stage; said
he had no intention of acting again.
Fairbanks, who was born in Den
yer, was one of Broadway's top juve-
niles before he deserted the stage for
pictures He made his debut behind
the footlights as Florio in The Dukes
Jester" at the Academy of Music in
Richmond, Va. in 1900, and two years
later he was first seen on Broadway
as Glen Masters in Her Lord and
Master"
In 1908 he really established himself
rs an actor when he played Bud
Haines in "A Gentleman From Mis-
slssippi," part which he played two
years on tour.

A re-routing of the State highway
at the crossing of the Neuse river or

it has been learned here. John Procto,
district highway engineer, made the
announcement at Durham. The plar
calls for construction of an entirely
new bridge to eliminate the danger
Gus curve on both sides of the river
bridge, where several serious acci
dents have occurred.
Mr.. Proctor was quoted as saying
a preliminary survey is now under
way, but did not state whether the
new bridge would be of steel or con-
crete. There are two bridges at the
point now, one of steel that spans the
river proper, and the other of con.
crete, crossing low land that carries
of flood waters.
The long curve at the bridge is tc
be virtually eliminated, according to
the announced plans. Mr.. Proctor re-
called that several fatal accidents had
occurred at the scene of the curve
He commented that the turns in the
highway were of little consequence
when automobiles ran at speed of

those at the Neuse river crossing are

The river at the point of the bridge
and the curves is in Durham county
