OWED SUCCESS TO RIDICULAUS QUALITIES “Patty's” meteoric career, strange enough, owed its inception to qualities that made the possessor ridiculous, “Putty,” carrying pounds distributed about his anat omy, schoolboy, with round, cherubie face.

BARNES O08 ANGELES, Sept. 17 Again the lights of the beautiful Randolph Huntington Miner home at 649 West Adams st. blazed brightly last night, but no rollicking sound of merry- makers of the cinema world stirred on the breeze. Roscoe fatty” Arbuckle, its owner, recently so proud of his mag- nificent residence, was not host last night, caretakers were in charge of the place It was like the quiet grandeur of the days when the beautiful place waa the center of ultra exclusive social gctivitiese—when the “upper ten” of Lo» Angeles held sway on Adams st, A beautiful face peered down from the second story in answer to the door bel! ring. No grim butler in pretty liv- ory overtowered the interviewer. GIRL 18 VISION OF LOVELINESS “Is Miss Catherine Fitzger- ald, Roncoe Arbuckle’s secretary, home?” I asked the pretty girl who was framed in the window, “I am Miss Fitzgerald; I shall come down.” A few moments later the heavy carved door of the manor ewung back slowly. The girl appeared. She was a vision of loveliness tn a shimmering black evening attira The porch light tn its autumn shades of crimson brown cast a warm glow upon time product. Famous now, and with a bankroll, he began making his own pictures in 1916, organiz- ing the Comique Film company at At Long Beach Arbuckle’s assoct- ations were good. He knew and was & favorite companion of bankers and prominent business men, This was before the party stage of hin career. Another company was launched at Culver City, where the comedian | made slapstick comedies as his fame increased. He abandoned his own productions a year ago to go to the| Lasky lot. Here he is said to have | a three-year contract for $1,000,000 @ year, The latest pictures he made are: “The Life of the Party,” “Brow- ster’s Millions,” “The Traveling Salesman,” “Crazy to Marry,” “The Dollara-Year Man,” and “Gasoline Gua.” In the last few years Arbuckle be- gan treading the gay path which u many newly rich picture ac- tors, Prohibition meant nothing to those whose pocketbooks were well lined, and liquor flowed freely at the gatherings which “Fatty” attended. | He was a comedian off the screen | as well as on, always conspicuous with his silly smile and his antics of | the overgrown schoolboy. Women, | many famous for their beauty, were attendants at the parties where Ar-| buckle was a prominent figure, and | they did not feel constrained to with. hold their «miles from the comedian | whore name and whose money were things to conjure with, BUYS BEAUTIFUL LOS ANGELES HOME “Fatty” bought the beautiful Randolph Miner home at West Adams st. and Chester place, Los Angeles, and the staid old brick res- idence, built in the English style, was made the scene of many gath- erings of film folk which lasted thru the night and far into the next day. Sometimes the parties would con- tinue for two or three days with lighta blazing, according to neigh- borhood gossip. Three years ago “Fatty” took a/ flyer in sport, being president of | the Vernon Coast league baseball club, which won the Coast league pennant and the minor league world’s championship, Fame, money, fine clothes, auto. | mobiles, the smiles of beautiful | women, who were attracted other things, made of the “ Arbuckle of yesterday a strange contrast to the humble figure that | used to clean cuspidors in a San Francisco barroom. Today the con- trast is stranger still, as the hulk- ing figure, dressed in expensive golfing knickers, droops with com- feally lugubrious face on the nar-| row bench behind the bars of} “felon's row” in the San Francisco city prison, Killed Attempting Escape From Prison WALLA WALLA, Wash., Sept. 17. —Guy Munroe, colored, who attempt- ed to escape from the penitentiary here late Thursday, was shot and killed by Guard George F.

The jet beads which trimmed her gown sparkled brilliantly. “I cannot ask you in—I am sorry,” she said in a low modu lated tone. “I have strict orders to admit no visitors.” Her re- mark was interrupted by a group of Arbuckie’s friends who had just alighted from @ lim ousine. With sober mien the four friends of the man who ts ac- cused of murdering Miss Vir- ginia Rappe at a party in San Francisco entered the home much like chief mourners com- ing to view the remains of a eparted loved one. “You will find Mr, Arbucklé’s sister upstairs,” Miss Fitzgerald told the guests. Then, turning to the interviewer, she said: “She is very upset over his trouble, She doesn't want to see anybody. I feel very, very sorry about it. It i# hard to be in my Position, wanting to help them and having no way to do it,” the girl said in a disturbed manner. “I am sure Mr. Arbuckle's friends will withhold judgment of him. I have been with him since 1917. At first I was a motion, pletare actress. Three years ago I took a secretarial position, handling many of his private affairs, I am sure Mr. Arbuckle did not commit any intentional crime “When he returned to Los Angeles last Wednesday he did not show evidence of worry over the death of Miss Rappe ‘When he was Informed she had died, he was not particularly in- terested. He did not feel any more sorrow over it than you would if you were in a party when an automobile ran over some person and he died as a result of the accident, NOT A DRINKING MAN, SHE SAYS “Mr. Arbuckle was not a ¢rinking man—in the manner that has been insinuated. I do not know about his parties, but I know that he drank less than any of his friends, You see, he f# naturally so funny that whether he drinks or not he is always the center of attraction. He is so big and he says and does such humorous things. Naturally, he is thought when he only has one or two drinks in him, to be probably intoxi- cated. “We have not veen informed of activities in San Francisco regarding affairs except thru the newspapers. I have watched them very closely. There are always some people who are willing to give a knock, but I believe that upon the whole Mr. Arbuckle’s friends will stay by him. Hundreds of telegrams and letters from friends and film friends have come to his home here since the tragedy. This seems evidence of their trust in him.” Miss Fitzgerald said that she was kept busy by persons inter- ested in Fatty Arbuckle’s trou- ble, and that it has kept her busy answering. questions from the door, There was a lineup of automobiles in front of the house last night—some with chauffeurs sitting in the cars, tome elaborate machines prob- ably used by motion picture actors and actresses. eee Fatty Got Nickname Attending School LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17—“Fatty,” a name known to almost every man, woman and child in the entire| country as a nickname for Roscoe | Arbuckle, had its origin in Santa | Ana when the movie comedian, now charged with murder, was but six| years old.
