AMUS EMENTS A Catalogue of Lost Hopes. HOLLYWOOD, October 9. (P).— The roster of famous pames at many motion pleture studfes is in reality a catalogue of sidetrficked ambitions. And, which generally is unusual in cases where one has failed in ambi- tion, most of the great artistx are happy in the success they did not ex- pect. In the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio it was found that Lon Chaney, as & boy, dreamed of wearing the mantle of a Richard Mansfield, and enacting, on the stage, the works of Shakes- peare. Instead, he became a stage comedian and ' dancer—then, by a trick of fate, king of character actors of the screen. Ramon Novarro wanted to be an opera singer—and instead became the hero of “Ben-Hur." Antonio Moreno would have been a priest—{f fate had not turned him toward the screen. Norman Kerry's ambition was to be an engineer and he graduated from an engineering college before he was sidetracked to fame in the movies. Conrad Nagel wanted to be a law- ver, and in college studied law. The stage claimed him, however. Carmel Myers sought a career as a writer. She was taken from a news- paper local room to the screen. Eleanor Boardman studied art. Her ambition was to rival Rosa Bonheur. She still paints little things—but for her friends and not for fame. Bits From Sedgwick, director, and Willlam Halnes took exterior shots the world series at the Yankee ew York, last week, for liy, Slide,” in which Haines rred Edward will be Herbert Brenon has finished “God Gave Me Twenty Cent 11is next production will b, and Son.’ Estelle Taylor has been assigned the role in “New York originally planned for Lya de Putti, while the latter will work in an original to be directed by Mal. Film Daily 1s credited with the re- port that Colleen Mgore will go abroad next y for a 12 months' stay, during which time she will make four productions, one each in England, Germany, France and Italy. Suzanne Lenglen, French tennis star, will start work on a picture about the middle of January on the West Coast, it is announced. Byron Morgan will write the story and Sam Wood will direct. Creighton Hale has been added to the cast of “Annie Laurle,” starring Lilllan Gish. Wallace Beery and Raymond Ilat- ton will soon start another comedy, “Casey at the Bat,” in which Wally takes the part of Mr. Casey, who strikes out with the bases filled. It is rumored that Sarl Fedak, Hbn- garian actress, who is due in the country shortly, will bring with her Tiber von Mindszenty, whom she con- slders a double for the late Rudolph Valentino, Yola @'Avril, called “the most graceful girl in Paris” by Jean Patou, arbitar of feminine fashions in the French capital, is now a featured player in First National productions. Esther Ralston will make her debut as a full-fledged star in “Fashions for Women," from an original story by Harry Carr and Gladys Unger. Pauline Frederick, who is starred in the Tiffany production, “Josselyn's Wife,' suggested from the novel by Kathleen Norris, plaved her film role while e ged In playing the title role of “Madame X" on the legitimate stage in Los Angeles. Greta Nissen will play opposite Adolphe Menjou in “Blondes or Brunettes,” to be produced in Holly- wood. Universal has made arrangements with Octavus Roy Cohen to picturize a number of his comedy stories about colored people, which have run in the Saturday Evening Post for years. Title changes In two forthcoming First Natlonul plctures are an- nounced. Lajos Birv's “The Leglon- nafre,” tentatively titled “Men of the Dawn,” and starring Milton Sills, has heen changed to “The Sllent Lover,"” and the Sam Rork production “The Blonde Saint,” featuring lewls Stone Movieland William Haines wanted to be a po- liceman. “Later in life I thought I'd be a great banker, but a job in a bank cured that,” he says. John Gilbert was to be a business nian. Born of stage parents, he| a salesman, returned to the stage and | then came pictures. i Lilllan Gish probably would have | been a teacher. She always wanted | to teach something to some one. | Lars Hanson, the Swedish star,| chose to be a_professor—a great dig- nity in his country—then discovered his acting talents. ~Greta Garbo orig- | inally wanted to be a violinist. Roy D'Arcy wanted to be a great opera singer. and, like Novarro, stud- fed for this for vears in Berlin and | Vienna. “Imagine a tenor being a vil- lain!” he laughs. Renee Adoree's ambition was to be | an acrobat like Lily Leitzel, “Queen | of the Air.” She was born and raised | in a circus, but later took up dancing, | which led her to the stage. Norma_ Shearer longed for society. She suddenly conceived the idea of trying pictures. She comes of one of the oldest families in Montreal. Lew Cody wanted to be a congress. man, but pictures sidetracked him. Marion Davies wanted to be an au- thor like Louisa M. Alcott. Owen Moore desired to be a physician, and Lionel Barrymore, although born to the stage, confesses that as a boy he had a hankering to be a scout like Buffalo Bill. Pauline Starke's first ambition was to be a teacher, ton, adrift in a rowboat, were cata- pulted into the open water recently, when the steel-clad nose of a battle cruiser plowed through their tiny craft. The action comprises one of the thrilling scenes In Paramount’s comedy of the gob, “We're in the Navy Now."” Leon Brusilof, conductor of the Columbia Orchestra, has received many compliments during the past week on his presentation of the musical score that accompanied showings of “La Boheme,” which &oes Into a second week today. Mary Pickford's latest production, “Sparrows,” which comes direct to Loew's Columbia next week, again offers iss Pickford a juvenile, hn\den!sh role such as brought her her greatest popularity. Gladys Frazin, French actress, who played Tondelayo in “White Cargo' in its New York and Chicago runs, and was thé heavy in “The Masked Woman" with Lowell Sherman and Helen McKellar, is making her screen debut as a Montmartre girl in Adolphe Menjou's picture, “The Ace of (‘ads.” Raymond Hatton had his first shave In months when he stepped in the Q)le of a gob in “We're in the Navy ow. Actual camera work on “Corporal Kate,” newest Vera Reynolds' star- ring plcture, has been completed at the De Mille Studio, and Director Puaul Sloane has taken up headquar- ters in the cutting room, where, in collaboration with C. Gardner Sulli- van, he s assembling the produc- tion. Prominent in the cast of this story of the experiences of three Red Cross girls during the war are Kenneth Thomson, Julia Faye, Majel Coleman and Harry Allen. “Nobody's Widow,” Avery Hop- wood’s stage farce, has been select- ed as Leatrice Joy's next production, for which Clara Beranger is writing the adaptation. Willlam De Mille will direct. Herbert Brenon's “Beau Geste,” ro- mance of the French Foreign Leglon, has for its cast Ronald Colman, Alice Joyce, Noah Beery, Neil Hamilton, Ralph_Forbes, Mary Brian and Nor man Trevor, probably one of the strongest ever presented in a motion pleture. Raymond Ilatton, 5 feet and 6 inches, is the shortest man under contrat for Paramount pictures, Jack Holt, George Bancroft, Wallace Beery and Emil Jannings are all more than 6 feet in height. Charles Whittaker, internationally known scenarist and author, has sailed for Berlin, to serve as production rep resentative of Paramount for the ple- tures to be made there by Paramount and Ufa. Announcement of Mr. Whit taler's appointment was made by H. P. Schulberg, assoclate producer in and Doris Kenyon, will reach the public as “Heauty Preferred.” Wallace Beery and Raymond Hat Singing Waiters Come Back.

THE SUNDAY What Pitture Folks Do With Old Clothes HOLLYWOOD, October 9 UP).— What becomes of the screen players’ old clothes? The problem of ““what shall I wear?" is an acute one with the movie star who has appeared in a series of gorgeous creations. To wear them wought commerclal work. He quit as| again In a new picture is out of the | question. The same problem exists for the male star, but not quite to the same extent. His psychology is the same, however, whatever happens to be his role. Irene Rich, who appears in many of Warner’s soclety plays gowned in the helght of fashion, has a lst of | people to whom she gives her old | clothes—such is their state. Oc- casionally she keeps them, as there is no reason why screen clothes cannot be worn off stage. recelve most of her old clothes. Many actresses have learned thrift | through necessity while climbing the | 3 /i ¥ are | the libretto, ladder to fame. Among them are Patsy Ruth Miller and Myrna Loy. Miss Miller “wears her things to death,” while Miss Loy mak dregses over and over until she is even ashamed to throw them away, much less give them away. As for stockings, Miss Loy dyes her cast-offs and makes rag rugs out of them. Jane Winton gives her old clothes away and finds that many discarded silk pieces make excellent polishing rags. Louise Fazenda every once in so often takes & lot of oid gowns and dresses out of the closets and sends them to several families in Los An- geles, Many men do not like to get rid of an old hat or an old suit of clothes, and screen stars are no exception. George Jessel wears his old clothes until they are fit only for the paper mill. Monte Blue keeps his old clothes to wear in character parts. S8yd Chaplin wears his old clothes while working or lounging around the house, Some he gives aw: to per- sons he' has known for years and whom his clothes happen to fit. F-.ncmg Comes Bnck HE art of fencing is coming back! This art—for art it is, as well as sport—after having been practi- cally lost for many years, is regain- ing its popularity and vogue swiftly. No other branch of athletic endeavor is as beneficial in so many ways to its adherents as the peaceful practice of the old warlike code duello. Fencing develops the small but important muscles usually neglected by other athletic training, vet vital to _a well rounded development. The wrists and forearm muscles; the small fibers of the calf and thigh: the minor muscles of the back and shoulders—all are individually used and developed by the foils in proper proportion to the major muscles. In the olden days fencing was a means of offense and defense. Every court dandy and aristocrat carried a sword and knew how to use it. It enubled them to hold their own against the rough. burly brutes who lurked in every highway and byway, ready to attack and rob the wayfarer. Thelir mastery of the rapler and its resultant scular and mental train- ing gave the aristocrats the upper hand. They were physically and mentally the superiors of the much stronger rufflans of that day. Many high schools now number fencing among thelr physical training courses. Colleges and universities generally consider it a major sport and maintain classes. Intercollegiate fencing matches are now ranked with basket hall and swimming meets fn importance and hailed accordingly. ‘The youth of the land is returning to the lost art of the aristocrats of olden days. Such old stage favoritex as “The Prisoner of Zenda,” “The Three Musketeers,” “The Count of Monte Cristo” and “Monsieur Beaucaire” are perennial successes in stock and revival, due largely to the intensity and excitement of the fencing scenes. Efforts are made to inject the utmost reality into the sword play scenes in the plctures mentioned. There is also a thrilling duel in “Don Juan's Three Nights,” at Crandall’s Metro- politan and Ambassador Theaters, be. gluning today. . - Neil Hamilton has started work in the leading male role in ‘“Mother Machr Fox Flims' version of the story he song, in which Belle Ben- nett has the featured role, others in the cast including Ethel Clayton, Philtppe deLacy, Victor MclLaglen and N.

Basil Dean is to produce in this country Noel Coward's “This Was a Man,” the play which so disturbed the sensibilities of London's lord chamberlain. The first echo of the dramatic ex- periment staged last Summer in the Maine woods is the report that Jones and Green have acquired “The Squall,” which was one of the most triumphant successes in the little Skowhegan playhouse.

Mattie Keane has been engaged by Augustin Duncan for his production of Arthur Livingston's adaptation of Pirandello’s “Naked.” It has been announced that the central figure of “Ged Loves Us” will be played by J.

Kaye, attorney, who wrote “She Couldn't Say No,” in which Florence Moore is appearing in New York, has finished another dramatic satire on the law, which he calls “Gentlemen of the Bar.” This title may be changed later on. 1926—PART 3. XMUSEMENTS Harvest Days for “Vaudevillans” HE recent transition motion picture theater such as Loew's Palace here in Washington, from a straight screen program polic to a mixed screen and stage “presentation” basis, is gladdening the hearts of former musical comedy and vaudeville headliners, such as Vincent Lopez, Garber, _the Eight Victor A . Frances White and Al Herman, “the black laugh,” who is announced as the stage at- traction at Loew’s Palace this week. Up to a short time ago a_performer like Al Herman was forced to divide his time between Brodaway musical revues and tours in the twoa-day, while the entrance of the Loew chain of theaters into the ‘“presentation” field has offered performers a new market for their wares.

In response to demands throughout the country, aroused By the enthusiasm created in their first ‘combined appearance on the screen, Paramount is planning to assemble the 16 graduates of its Ple- tures School in Hollywood to make another film. 1t was Jesse L. Lasky who conceived the plan for the Paramount Pictures School, at once the most daring and revolutionary step ever taken to elim- inate the chaotic condition that faced the picture industry in the matter of finding and developing new &creen talent. The school proved a success. The 16 young graduates, hand-picked from thousands of applicants from all parts of the country, showed such talent that all were signed to long- term contracts by Famous Players- Lasky. They made their simultaneous debut in “Fascinating Youth.” In response to the demand, Mr. TLasky declded to bring them all to Hollywood about January 1 to appear in a picture to be produced by Hector Turnbull. While the story has not vet been chosen, it is stated that it will unquestionably be another por- wayal of joyous American youth.
