sports of the Stars (Continued from page qj) odder keeps it covered with a tarpaulin ost of the time. But few of the actors are )le to support boats on the order of those .aintained by producers such as Joseph -henck, Mack Sennett, the Christie broths, Cecil de Mille or Hal Roach. But these floating palaces to me defeat the -incipal advantages of yachting. They are ) large that they demand heavy crews alays aboard: it is next to impossible for a lan to get any exercise on one of them. I I lould far rather sail a smaller craft (weather ermitting!) than to lounge under the A-nings of any one of those creations upon hich it isn't necessary to lift a hand. Work Is Pleasure rHI.S matter of size in relation to exercise is far more important than the usual crson considers. For instance, Del Lord, le director, is a motor-boat enthusiast and inually cleans up the prizes at Lake Isinore, the headquarters for that sport, ou may well imagine how much more in sical effort is required of Lord, piloting le little boats himself, than of, say, de Mille ri his Seaward. With its engines to run the (jat, and an efficient crew to run the enines, Mr. de Mille might as well be sitting I the front porch of a seaside hotel. Too, another disadvantage of large boats or for that matter, of small ones), is that hey appeal to a large class of people as accellent locales for parties. At sea there are O neighbors to complain about noise, and o minions of the law to pounce down upon ■ne for being seen with a bottle in his hand, 'he result is, that some yachtsmen return rem week-ends on the water considerably nore frazzled than when they sailed away. And there you have the great problem of 'wning a boat. A small craft is apt to offer 'OU more exercise than you can handle, larticularly if a squall blows up: and a large ne, either no exercise at all or too much of he kind that consists of lifting glasses. The dashmg young man-about-town just about to step out is Frank Albcrtson. We hope it is for a stroll along Hollywood Boulevard and not with "Wild Company" which is the name of his latest picture The "Idol Rich" Few wealthy people Are sincerely loved By other members of This sometimes human race. And most of them Abide in Hollywood. Strange, isn't it. What a difference Money makes If it comes After fame. And not before? A strange place, Hollywood, All around. Fille<l with unusual people.
