whether fans recognize Miss STAN
wyck as woman of 100.
The Stanwyck makeup was
achieved by use of thin rubber
like plastics which could be wrinkled.
The rest was shadows and high
lights done with the usual grease
paint. 1t was like wearing mud
pack continually.
When I took off the makeup"
said Miss Stanwyck, Il felt as
though my face was dropping on
the floor"
Her snoW-white hair, of course,
was a wig. However, her stature
and walk were equally burdensome.
She and Westmore and Wellman
visited an old ladies home in Los
Angeles to see if these aged talked
falteringly or normally. They found
no speech hesitation, but did see
that very old women walk with bent
knees and backs stiff. So Miss
Stanwyck was harnessed to a lead
backstrap and wore 2-pound weights
in each shoe.
Helen Hayes Was First.
Taking on age is nothing new for
Miss Stanwyck. She was IS in
so Big" also under Wellman's
direction; 60 in Forbidden" for
Frank Capra and SIS in Stella Dali
las" for King Vidor.
Helen Hayes was the first screen
actress to take old age by the fore
lock and give it a histronic half
nelson. When THE Sin of Made
Ion Claudet" was released in 1881
Hollywood predicted a sudden finish
to the movie career of this cour-
ageous, tradition -defying lady from
the stage. Instead it was acclaimed
the greatest acting triumph of that
year-and won Miss Hayes the
Academy Award the following
March.

Cooper.
In a steamy interview one day
Tobias revealed his theory about
this phenomenon, and some other
oddities about his fan mail. (The
atmosphere was steamy because it
was in the Russian baths where
Thomas Mitchell John Qualen and
Tobias will appear in scenes of THE
Gentle People.")
People like these are very prac-
teal in one way, or else modest,

In fact, feminine correspondents
have told him as much, Tobias re-
vealed. "A woman on a farm learns
to make her dreams practical, no
matter how unlikely they are to
come true" was the gist OF one mes
sage. You're not pretty and you
look big and husky, like you'd make
a good farmer"

No Hollywood actress with the ex-

can't keep all of them from trying.

popularity are blanketed by the

Barbara Stanwyck has just fin

years to her face and figure. She
plays a woman 100 years old in

Margaret SULLIVAN skidded grace

White Crow Freak
OF Birds, Is Found

When a bird so rare and I'M
usual as a white crow is shot, 1t
requires a reliable eyewitness to
prove it's true.
Lloyd F. Eagan, president of the
Detroit Sportsmen's Congress, is
the authority for this story. and
he has the bird. at present in a
taxidermists care, and will exhibit
it at the Congress display at the
Outdoor show in March.
The crow was shot by Andy
Myers of Pinconning at Ted Peter
sons camp, near that city. II
was in a flock of about 500 black
ones. He lured it within shooting
distance. after weeks of waiting
with dead rabbit as bait.
Unlike most freakish animals
the bird is pure white, with bill
and legs of a pinkish cast. The
eyes are not pink, however. but
lust as dark as a black crows.

DOG CHATS

Among the mystifying powers
OF a dog are his ears. A dog is
truly remarkable for what he
hears. and at times for what he
does not want TO hear. We never
allow any of our dogs to have
candy but should any appear
anywhere in the house and some
one starts TO eat it, the dogs are
always on the alert.
Last night, after a romp. our
old dog had curled herself up
after the customary number of
turns before taking a nap. when
l decided to test my skill at being
quiet. l carefully lifted the cover
from a box of candy which was
at least 20 feet away from the
dog and out of her sight and
thought I was getting away with
something. When l looked up, she
was begging for a bite.
I have often noticed that when
one of the family was out at
night, the dog would hear them
coming home before they were in
sight. Something about the foot
step would arouse her and long
before the steps of the porch were
mounted. the dog would be waiting
to give greeting.
The other day we watched a
man demonstrate the silent"
whistle Which many use to call
their dogs. Not a soul in a group
of about 10 could hear anything.
The mans dog was out of sight
around a corner of the building
where the test was made, but that
dog came running to his master
in short order. He had been able
TO hear where the human ears
were powerless.
Walking through the silent
woods, dogs hear squirrels and
chipnunks as they dart from one
place to another and are off on
a chase when their masters have
heard no sound. Many dogs seem
TO hunt by ear as well as by their
keen sense of smell and give a
pretty good account of themselves
in finding game when there is any
about.

Burrows, from which ground
hogs are said to come forth
today. are found in fields, in
hillsides and railway embank-
ments. They are from 10 to 20
feet long, dropping two to three
feet below the surface. These
dens are well drained, as wood
chucks have some animal engi-
neering skill. In Spring and
Summer you may locate them
by keeping sharp eye for
the mounds of earth that are
thrown up before the burrow
entrances.
Groundhogs usually are seen
In early morning and late after
noon, but they wander sfield any
moonlit night, too. When in
danger. they scamper into their
underground shelters, giving
rafting whistles of fear or
warning. Farm boys in some
localities call them whistle-pigs
because of this peculiar signal.
