away up in the air Whether he
stayed depended on the outcome Of
that part, but he was inclined to feel
not much would come of it and he
would be going back to England,
where he had an interest in a movie
company.
Rupert turned the trick. Doug's
salary in those days was compara-
lively small (reputed $25, 900 per job ,
but "Zenda" created a new interest
in him and he has been buster since
than he ever imagined he could be.
Since then he has been starred in
10 more pictures and his salary has
jumped to a fiat 100000 per.
1t is a pretty good supposition that

nick visualized a Fairbanks as Ru-

New Wealth

Ex.Ballet Dancer

NEW YORK.

person falls into sudden and un-
expected riches the new-tound
wealth disappears as quickly as a
mirage
But Rosalie Kniskern and Helen
Winthrope Weyant still have most
of the fabulous fortunes they inher-
tied without moments forewarn-
ing just about year ago. Almost,
but not quite, as frugal has been
William Reilly. who shared a for
tune with Miss Kniskerh.
A checkup today shows that they
have remained frugal and conserv-
ative about the most part of their
new-found wealth.
In the case of Miss Kniskern. she
was a fetching ballet dancer in a
Rockefeller Center theater IS months
ago. A regular front-row patron of
this theater was a grandmotherly
old lady named Mrs. Edna Elliott
She was 10 years old and she always
got front-row seat because an
usher, Reilly, watched out for her.
After the performances she would
60 to the ladies' lounge and began
chatting with Miss Kniskern, who
would come there to rest between
shows.
When Mrs. Elliott died a little
more than a year ago she left her
fortune OF $1.500,0 900 to be divided
between the kindly ballet dancer
and the courteous usher. Up to
that moment neither Reilly nor Miss
Kniskern knew that Mrs. Elliott had
any wealth at all.
Reilly, who had lost his own Job
gave his father enough money to
retire from his job as a stoge door
man. Today Reilly, who lives in an
athletic club, spends most of his
time following football and baseball
games, which are his hobby, some
times hiring an airplane to see a
game out of town. At times he still
works as an attendant in a New
York hospital.
Miss kniskern, who Is married to

line and says she will never 60 back
to the, theater.

said, but I have had plenty to do
avoiding people with ideas about
how I should spend the money.
Il wanted to travel. especially in
Norway, Denmark and Sweden, but
the war has stopped me from doing
that. Some day, when peace comes,
I still hope to take that trip"
Just after she inherited the money
Miss Kniskern was swamped with
letters from people with ideas about
what to do with such an overflow

Westmore recommends after

Presidents when facing cameras.
He also believes they should study
untouched photographs of them
selves and determine which is the
best side of their faces for the lens
to be trained upon. Then, he
thinks, they should maneuver their
positions whenever possible to have
that best side" ready for camera
exposure.
you know, movie fans are pecu-
liar people," Westmore explained.
They've been trained for years to
expect perfection on the screen
Heroes Of the drama are carefully
made up and rehearsed. Every hair

Lights are expertly arranged and
the players are photographed from

when Allan Jones sings, he isn't
bad to look at, even though his
mouth is wide open and his face
lined. That's because he doesn't
actually sing while the scene is pho
tographed. He mouths the words,
therefore doesn't strain his muscles
Days later, with an orchestra, his
voice is recorded to fit the action.
"Of course, such an involved
routine is impossible for the vote
getter to follow. But he can be a
little careful, by following a few
fundamental tips"
OF Thomas E. Dewey of New York
Westmore says:
First, his mustache Is much too
full. imagine he wears = mustache
because his upper lip is full and
protrudes, and he feels the mus
tache will cover it. He should trim
1t down to a more definite shape.
Now it's neither flsh nor fowls
He feels, too, that the barber
should let up on the Dewey tenn
Piles with the clippers.
Senator Robert La Toilette of
Wisconsin should never part his
hair in the middle, as he does now
He has round face, anyhow, u
Westmore points out, "and parting
in the middle only accentuates the
roundness. And the part should
be far over on the side."
He advises Senator Robert Taft
Of Ohio to grow more hair, II pos
sible, at the temples, and q mus
tache on his lip. He thinks more
hair at the temples would make
Taft look younger, while . mustache
would give him an appearance OF

This is an important election
year." remarked Westmore In his
office on the Paramount lot. News
reel cameramen and newspaper
photographers will be buster than
ever-and it's a darned shame the
candidates don't pay more attention
to their personal appearance"
Westmore thinks it's about time
national celebrities tumble to the
fact that screen close-ups, which
magnify their faces to the size of a
barn door, are likely to make
freckles stand out like pumpkin
pies. while q missing tooth makes
a Grand Canyon like gap. A mole

crous to movie fans as a politicians s
INSTRUMENTATION of the word
radio"
Between telephone calls from the
sound stages, where deputy beauti-
f1ers were giving him periodical re-
ports on the facial status of Dor
othy Lamour, Muriel Angelus and
Ellen Drew, working in separate pic
lures on the lot, Westmore took a
disapproving look at the untouched
photos of the leading candidates for
President of these United States
and offered some helpful hints to
all of them, without charge.
Beginning first with study of
President Roosevelt's physiognomy,
Westmore observed:
while F. D. r. has not an
nounced his candidacy, I might say,
just In case. that Hollywood has
nothing but admiration for his ap-
pearance before the camera. We
can't teach him a thing, photo
graphically. He has the ease of
Bing Crosby, the camera sense of
Charles Laughton and the show
manship of Cecil De Mile"
Next, the makeup expert picked
up photograph of Vice President
John Nance Garner. who came in
for more criticism than any Of his
opponents. According to Westmore,
the Texan should:
l. See dentist and have jackets
put on his teeth. ("The reason" /"
annotates the makeup master, lis
obvious.'')
2. Wear larger collar so the
fleshy part of his neck won't ride
around on top.
3. Let his hair grow longer so
1t will lie down and appear well
groomed. He should pay particular
attention to the hair on the sides
of his head, since the widest part
of his skull stretches between his
ear lobes. Longer hair at the tenn
Piles would balance his face.
4. Use Q little after shaving pow
der on the face when posing for
photographs. This would conceal
horid coloring and give more even
tone to skin.

But didn't play it as father
might have" says Doug now. A gen.
uine respect is apparent whenever he
speaks of his late father. His
style never can be initiated and,
even if it could, would be the last
to attempt it.
Father was the swashbuckling
type. I'm not. He had an air that
was distinctly his own. guess, for
tunately, have one, too, but it's
not like his. I saw his Mark of
Zorro the other night and I wish
everybody who thinks I am anything
like him as an actor could see it."
Presumably some Of the parts Doug
has turned down in recent months
were like those his father played.
Perhaps the Everybody" to whom
he refers are the directors and pro-
dncers who'd like his name and his
talents gracing remakes of his IA
theirs old adventure-filled stories.
Because he is so afraid the public
will compare him with his father, q
story Doug has wanted to do never
will be filmed. It Is "The Californ-
Ian" which Fairbanks senior planned
as co-starring adventure for him.
self and his son.
II have the script, but it's full of
diagrams and heiroglyphics that
only he could interpret" Doug says.
He had his own way of writing q
script, telling the story to those who
worked with him so graphically
that his recital was better than the
written word.
r know what he had in mind be-
cause we talked about it a great
deal, but I am sure the story never
will be filmed-at least by me-"
Another thing Doug isn't doing is
dropping the appendage from his
ma me, even though custom calls for
such action.
Ever since his fathers will (Which
left Doug more than a half million)
was probated, Doug has been almost
deluged with letters from folks who
claim his father owed, or promised,
them various sums from SO to
$1,000
rSome of them are threatening
and all of them are ridiculous" he
says. II know father didn't owe any
one, but just in case I'm having his
lawyers investigate those that ap-
pear to have even the slightest
basis"
With his will, Doug's father left an
envelope containing secret instruc-
tions for the disposal Of $4,000. 1t
was generally assumed that this
money was intended for young
Doug's mother, the former Betty
Sully, who now is Mrs. Jack Whit
ing. This assumption was incorrect.
It contained bequests, I learned
authoritatively, for four old friends
and an actors fund, to be divided
equally. Fairbanks. who even carried
drama into his will, wanted to sur
prise these friends and took this
means Of doing 1t. Unless they read
this, and deduce who they are, I am
sure these four old friends have no
idea Fairbanks remembered them.
Doug will give them the money in
q few days.
Doug never owned a home before
and he bought one because you
can't rent place with q nursery"
"As matter Of fact, you can't
even buy one" he added so We
bought Z house we liked and we're
turning my bedroom into = nursery
