Second Section CAMERA HIDDENTO KEEP OFF CURIOUS Madge Bellamy Is Filmed on| Fiith Avenue By the Assoclated Press. To avoid the usual jam of ourious onlookers a camera was hidden in a canvas covered truck to photo- | graph Madge Bellamy on Fifth ave- nue in “Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl.” A slit was cut in the rear cur- tain for the lens and a “porthole” for the cameraman and the star was caught with hurrying crowds for a background. During the filming of ‘“While London Sleeps,” Rin-Tin-Tin, the | dog star, became the proud daddy of a litter of eight pupples. Through | his master, Lee Duncan, Rinty handed out smokes to his friends. Gingham dresses are favorites of | little Janet Gaynor, screen actress. She wears gingham on hot South ern California days, made into simple little frocks with straight skirts, tight bodices and sometimes with a bit of lace at the throat. Mary Pickford never takes off her wedding ring. Whether it is because she is superstitious or because she is so proud of being Mrs, Douglas | Fairbanks in private life, it is ap- parent in “Sparrows,” in which she | plays the part of a young girl, that the ring is still on the correct finger, though carefully secluded with a plece of cord tied around the ring. | Pola Negri's studio dressing “room’” in Hollywood is a luxurious apartment. There are several rooms, all with Oriental furnishings. Valets are scarce among the ser- vants of the motion picture folk. John Gilbert explains the situation hus: The stage actor has a set time to appear each night. Often he is late and finds it necessary to have his things laid out, whereas the screen actor may take his time, Ramon Navarro adds that there are no quick changes of costumes in the movies. Other stars who dispense with ! valets include Lon Chaney and Lew | Cody. Holbrook Blinn and John Barrymoore, long on the stage, are among those who have valets.

Rawson of London, a movie exccutive, to assist in adapt- ing pictures to F h audiences. Whenever necessary two versions of a scene will be made; one for use | in the United States and the other | for exhibition in the British Empire. New York city and its environs have come in for close scrutiny and intensive observation by movie peo- ple engaged in bringing to the screen three productions for which the metropolis serves as background. “The Great Gatsby,” “Love 'Em and Leave 'Em,” and “New York,” all treat of varying phases of life in the big city. Willlam Walling, who plays the | part of a ranchman in “The Canyon of Light,” once was the real thing. He retired in 1915 from the legiti- mate stage and bought a cattle ranch. Flve years later, when the livestock market slumped, his ven- ture failed.

The screen |trio of fat men giving the dinner |are: “Fatty” Alexander, 425 Ibs. “Kewple” Ross, 325 Ibs..; and “Fat” | Karr, a mere 315 Ibs. | Invites Tom Mix Tom Mix has been invited by Y. Tto, motion picture editor of The Tokio News and The Osaka News, to make a picture in Japan. Mix sald he would consider the {nvitation and, in the meantime, presented Ito with one of his reservoir hats. Directors face the task of making actresses blush for the pictures or | | sequences that are filmed in natural | | colors. Director Benjamin Christfan- son claims to have succeeded with the juvenile Sally O'Nelll by joshing her about 2 young man who escort- | ed her to a dance. For more mature players a wag suggests a reading of Boccaclo and Rabelals.

The authorities report that since |May there has been a fall in the death rate to the remarkably low vel of 4.1 per thousand. “The de- |cline,” says the report, “is due to the fact that the Durham County community cannot now indulge in lover-eating.” Creamed or scalloped \er:vnhles‘ may be prepared with evaporated milk diluted with meat stock if the | supply of cream or milk is limited. | NEW BRITAIN HERALD [~"-~] NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1926, TETRAZZIN ONLY IN GONGERT WORK Her Yoice, It Is Said, Remains as of Old Rome, Nov. 23 (A—Mme. Louisa Tetrazzini, who recently became Sig- nora Vernati through her marriage to Pletro Vernati, has entered a| new phase of life, musically. She 1s devoting herself entirely to con- | cert music. Her voice, with its unrivalled trills, is unimpaired and she remains tle same jovial, witty, sympathetic woman. She is admired for her loyalty to | her friends and her remembrance of and gratitude for any service. This is exemplified by the prominent| place given the portrait of Adelina Patti in the drawing room of her palace in Rome. Patti Was Kind To Her Never will she forget, says Mme. {Ing music while Loulsa was still a | Tetrazzini, the kindnes of the great prima donna who occupied a box at Covent Garden when she, a rising | artiste, sang in “Othello.” Her heart sank at the thought of sing- ing before the most brilliant star that then had ever shone in the | operatic firmament. But, once on| the stage, she entirely forgot her- self and attained a new height Mme. Patt! greeted the young Tet- | razzinl with warm entHusiasm, tell- ing her she was happy to see there was “a singer who would take her place.” Finding no difficulty in the elab- orate trills and warbles demanded of operatic singers, Mme. Tetrazzini | took a delight in assuming attitudes which generally were considered most unfavorable for such musical athletics. Even when it was not nec- essary, she would stoop to catch up the train of her gown while per- | forming an claborate bravura pas- sage. Won Mcdal in War Mme, Tetrazzini said she her introduction to music to eldest sister, who is ten years her senior. The sister, Eva, was study- | owes | her | little girl, and the latter received her musical education largely from the former. the famous conductor. of the Emperor of Eva married Campanini, The diva is proud of the medal |she received from the Italian Red Cross for her work during the war. The decoration was conferred upon her by General Brezzl, her in Florence when she was a | child, who knew {Member of Japan’s Crown Family Becomes Farmer Oxford, England, Nov. 23 (®— Three royal families are represented at Oxford this year, Heading the list is His Imperia) | Highness Chichibu, the second son Japan. The prince occupies rooms in the Clois- ters, near those occupied by Prince of \Wales as an undergradu- ate. He is studying history and economics er college tutors, Less stir was caused by the arriv: |al of the other two royal students, as they are both returning to Ox- ford after previous study. One Is H R Prince Chumbhot, Crown Prince o! Siam, who s a student at | Christ Church, and the other is Zeid Ibn Hussein, the Emir of Iraq, in Arabia, who {g now studying at Bal- | liol College. Both are taking the regular courses. the | LENS RECOVERIN FROM WAR LOSSES \This Was the Big Coal City of France Lens, France, Nov. 23 (P—Lens |the wg coal town that had for four years the doubtful honor of a front to the ground when it ended, “come back.” It still has an old war shed for a railroad station, its hospital oc- cupies a tottering bungalow, its | ehurch is only partially bullt, its| cmetery still remalns partly up- heaved with unecxploded shells bur- |ied along with the old miners, but it has an impressive savings bank. This bullding, one of the first to| | catch the eye, pictures the economic condition of Lens. Mincrs Saving Money The miners are steadily employed, are fairly well paid, are living well |and saving money. There are 125 has [seat in the great war and was flat| mines in the Lens district, of which | 110 are again working full blast.' They turned out 2,802,505 tons of coal last month. This is just about | the average prewar production for| those mincs. When other mines are | restored the Lens region will go far | beyond its record before the in- | vasion. The havoc worked at the bottom lof the Lens mines was such that in | many cases owners abandoned the | old galleri: Tt was cheaper to be-| | gin all over again. Otherwise Lens| would now lead the other districts that have gained a lap in produc- tion. Rent 8 Francs a Month All the miners, for an eight-hour day, are paid more than six times | the prewar wages. A bachelor earns |36 francs per day. A married man | with one child rns somewhat | more. The family allowance brings {the earnings of the other two chil- | dren to 47 francs per day. He pays| cight francs a month rental for a fo\lr room house, which about 46.50 francs per day to live on. This sum appears to be sufficient, th. the miners’ needs have grown. ‘Wine, which was seen on e miners’ tables before the war only on Sundays or holidays is now | daily beverage.
