BUT COMEDIANS W By WADE WERNER (Motion Picture Feature Editor) HOLLYWOOD, Cal—One of the funniest things about the funny | men of filmdom is that practically | none of them skyrocketed on of school into film fame. In their pic turas these com edians laugh o all rules of suc cess, winning the girl and sav ing her fathe:'s millions by sheer bonehead ed blundering all of which helps to make the audience laugh. But real life none of them seems to have had the luck to stumble into screen suc- cess without a rigorous prelim- liminary train- ing in the a of being funny. Briet consider- ation of the early lives of comedians, in fac* | would lead one to believe they began their studies in slapstick while still in the cradle. Compare the careers of these | professional fun-makers with the Cinderella experiences of some of | the romantic heroines of the screen who have leaped in a few months from high school to high salaried roles in biz pictures. Charlie Chaplin was a child when he won his first burst of applause in an English music hall. but he was a veteran actor by |the time he reached celluloid Raymond Griffith was carried on- to the stage at 15 months and d Little Lord Fauntleroy at ars. Harry Langdon started s an errand boy in a theatfe and | became in turn usher, stage hand and actor. Karl Dane was on the stage as a child. iuster Keaton was acting before he was old enough to go to kindergarten. Jimmy Adams was a child so- prano on the stage. Harold Lloyd was a page boy in “Hamlet” be fore he was 10 and played iu stock as a youth years before-the camera got him. W. C. Fields ran away from home at the age of 11 to become a juggler, and at 15 a beer garden in Atlantic City was paying him $6 a week for his act. For 25 years he amused vaudeville and musical comedy audiences befpre entering the movies. At the ‘Ffp age of ten Charlie Murray was wearing grease paint on the: stage. Bobby Vernon began acting jn musical comedy before he was ont of chort pants, and Ford Sterliag 2ot such an early start he leam- ed all about circus clowning, mu sical comedy and vaudeville, not to mention Mississippi boat shows ,nnrl ordinary traveling repertoire companies, before he was rew for the movies. At the age of eight Neal Burns was playiug in stock in Philadel- phia, and when Billy Dooley was that bld he was making summer tours with circuses as a trick ey clist. Larry Semon kept off the stdge until he was four years old, at least he was not billed as one of the players in his father? show until then. Raymond Me Kee began his acting career at the age of three. Some comedians were mnot sc hasty about beginning the long 3rind that made screen comics of Wallace Beery, for in Harold Lfoyd (above) and Harry Langdon most screen | ke ran away from home to join 2 circus, and he was old enough tc shave by the time he went inte musical comedy. Chester Conk lin even studied a little law be fore becoming an actor and later |a circus clown. But practieally without excep all the comedians in pic tures seem 'to have fought thel | way up through an off-screen pe riod of training before they even found minor comic roles on th¢ screen. In other words, one hat some chance of becoming a ro mantic screen hero overnight, but to be funny in°films one must really know how. For first class French Dry Cleaning call up Capital Dy Works, C.

HARD WORK THEIR J()I\E OV SCREEN HO LAUGH AT TOIL ‘SCHOONER HULL Customs House of Former Juneau Paper Unravel Mystery The history of the hull of the boat on the beach near Salmon Creek Point has been settled o the satisfaction of the two parties who recently started the argu- ment as to the length of time the hull had been at its present Io- cation and its name. Registration figures carved into timbers of the schooner col spond with those in the (‘unlnme House for the “Standard Fish Company No. 2" and this settled the identity of the boat, interested parties agreed. Finding cenclusive proof as 1o the duration of the schooner’s residence on the beach was not so easy, but the following in- formation was gained from the Territorial Library through Rev A. P. Kashavaroff. The Alaska Dispatch ‘of July 23, 1916, said: “Capt. Charles Sinclair and Frank Harris, two well known old timers yesterday reached port ot the gas boat Pilot with the tw) masted schooner “Standard” in tow. The schooner had been abandoned in Canoe Pass for sev-j eral months. It is the intention of the new owners to remodel the hull and place her in service.” This story was confirmad by Mr. Harris, of the Harris Hard ware Company here. = Although this news item does not set a definite date on - which the schooner was placed on the beach, it eliminates the possibility the boat being placed there in 1915, the latest date set by one of the two parties laying. the wagers. Valentine's Hunch The following communication has been received by the Empire; from E. Valentine, one of Ju- neau's earliest residents, who has been following with interest the animated discussion here of the ‘ength of time the old ship has; lain on the beach Creek Point: “Regarding to cchooner hulk, lying near Salmo Creek, I will give you the follow- mz history: “It was built at Snohomlsh. Wash,, during the year 1894 by & Mr. Aggasiz, He fitted it out to rbn to Cook Inlet and made his first voyage, with passengers, during the year of 1895. Upon arrival at Cook Inlet she ran aground and after the tide had veceded it was found that she was perched on top of a cliff, she then proceeded to roll over. and fell on the rocks forty feet below; some of the ribs were cracked but she was still sea worthy and shortly thereafter she sailed- for. Juneau, finally landing here with some forty passengers, all flat broke, as they had been saught in the Cook Inlet rush and tound nothing there. “Upon arrival here at Juneau the captain immediately libeled her for his salary and in spite of the fact that he had signed to make the voyage for one dollar and fifty percent of the aceruing near Salmon pictur®sque ol profits, he secured a judgment for . ‘he amount which he eclaimed. “Mr. Abbasiz had no money to nay the judgment and he gave me 1 bill of sale for the vessel and made arrangements with me to bid her in when she was sold by che U. 8.
