FREAK CLAUSES IN THEIR CONTRACTS
By MARY SHARON
There's a line or two in Anita Page's contract which tells her she must watch her figger, for if the young lady takes on too many pounds she's liable to find herself plump out of a job.
Eddie INugent, who i^ shown attired for a formal evening of Hollywood mud slinging, holds one of the mosr unique contracts, for hv can be called on in five capacities.

When word has reached Paramount that Clara Bow had signed an advertising contract to allow her likeness to share honors with a popular brand of cigarettes they quickly put an end to things.
Two years ago, Clara's father opened a restaurant and the sign above the entrance read: Clara Bow's Steak-House. Business was getting off to a grand start when Paramount officials rushed down and forced him to take down the sign. Clara's money might be in the venture, but her name? — Never.

There was a clause in her contract which made it impossible for Alice to marry except with the consent of her employers. There was another clause in her contfact which gives First National the right to censor her boy friends. This clause was written into her contract after the sensational publicity that came about through her affair with Dick Grace, the stunt aviator, who was at one time reported engaged to her.
