It was the frame of a young woman, and presented the remarkable illusion of being still warm to the touch. Though this, of course, is unscientific, several of our party are firmly convinced that we have found the skeleton of the fabulous character called Bow in our fairytale books, who was supposed to be the last in line of the now extinct family, Hottus Mommus. "Our finds at other factories included the strange similarity of hundreds of skeletons unearthed at one a few miles to the north apparently known as Universal, indicating that for some reason we cannot explain only those having a blood-tie with the chief Grauman of the factory were permitted to take part in its operations. At the other extremity of the colony we unearthed a skeleton lying in the remains of a pure gold and onyx bathtub. This the more flightyminded members of our party insisted must be none other than that incredible character of ancient fable, De Mille, who, they claimed, must have been struck down while in the midst of his preposterous magic rites which the fable relates were always performed over bathtuJDs made of precious stones. "In what appears to have been the residential section occupied by the chief Graumen we have excavated several curious exhibits. "The salient point in our findings here is the persistence of the most elaborate bathrooms in the Graumen's residences. In view of the demoniac rites probably practised by these ghouls in the temples, it is easily understandable that the bathrooms were symbols of external purity which were necessary to ward off spirits that might have pursued the Graumen to their homes. Remains of outdoor bathing places, probably built for similar reasons and not put to any practical use, were also found in large numbers. "The ruins of a large house on a hill revealed to our search party a number of objects bearing the initials T. M., which many of us were inclined to believe must indicate that it was the home of that more or less historically accepted horseback rider, Thomas Mix, who is known to have resided somewhere in this district. The Petrified Grove "/'^UR excavations led us as far as the V_y coast, where we made one of our most remarkable finds. We unearthed the ruins of a vast palace on the shore, which, from the astounding richness and grandeur of its contents as we reconstructed them in our sketches, we cannot doubt to have been the palace of Davies, the historical Queen of the Graumen. The lesser Graumen probably made pilgrimages here from Hollywood to bow the knee before the power and the glory of Queen Davies. " In another district slightly to the east of central Hollywood as we reconstructed it, we found ruins of a large building containing the fossilized trunks of cocoanut trees. This was probably our most valuable discovery in fixing the approximate stage of civilization achieved by the Hollywoodians. No member of our party could advance any other theory than that the Hollywoodians dragged cocoanut trees into the building because they were mentally still not far removed from the apes, and felt the absolute need of one foregathering place where they could lumber and cavort about in the manner of their immediate ancestors, and feel perfectly at home. The simulation of a cocoanut grove achieved this end, and it is possible that this grove was used as a general meeting place and playground, where, too, the younger Hollywoodians in the manner of the apes went in the mating season to look overthelikelyyoungfemales,and vice versa." The Perpetual Collegian {Continued from page 65) was glad they made him use me. I felt mighty proud, but I want to tell you that for awhile I sure missed 'The Collegians' where I am at least head-man in the show. "I kick about making them. And I squawk about the little opportunity they offer in the line of acting, but they're fun to do at that. His Suppressed Wish EVER since I can remember I 've had the movies in the back of my head. But I kept it a dark secret. When the other fellows said they were setting out to be doctors or lawyers or coaches or professors, I didn 't have the nerve to chirp up with the idea that I 'd like to be a movie actor. "Besides, my father was dead set against it. He is English and my mother is Spanish. He thought law or some other dignified profession was the only field for me. So my mother was my only ally. When it was time for me to start out to make a living, I worked around San Diego at odd jobs, such as mowing lawns, painting houses and everything but looking after babies, until I had amassed a hundred dollars with which to make my getaway. That hundred dollars looked like a fortune to me. I figured I could live for six months in Hollywood on that. " I didn 't know a single soul in the town but a newspaper fellow who reviewed pictures and wrote movie gossip for a little paper. I went to him the first thing and told him my ambitions. He was swell about it. "Thanks to his pull, I didn't have much trouble getting extra work. But all fired with ambition as I was, extra work didn't look so hot to me. I looked at the other fellows who had been at it for seven or eight years and wondered what was the matter with them — why they didn 't get along. They were handsome enough and talented enough, but they stayed in the same old groov'e. Maybe they 'd do a good little part in a picture, then they'd be back in the mob again. I figured the trouble must lie there and I promised myself that if I should ever rate a bit I 'd never go back to the seven-fifty stuff. "Soon after that Edwin Carewe gave me a small part in a picture of his and I thought it was a good chance to start holding out for the bigger and better r61es. "Do you think I got away with that stuff — and rated a contract right away? I did not. I was driven back to the mob stuff because I had to eat. But I finally got my good break in 'His People.' After that came a contract and 'The Collegians.' At the first opportunity I sent for my mother and brothers and brought them to Hollywood to live. The rest," admitted George, "reads like a mimeographed copy of What Every Young Actor Should Do. I 've got a little house in the Hollywood hills, and a brand-new wife and a sports roadster." What more can a student ask of life? jl
