OTHE SEATS OF THE MIGHTY UR own Madame La Marquise de )a Falaise de Coudray, or, if that won't fit into your marquee sign, Gloria Swanson, accompanied by her titled young husband, was a spectator at the Yale-Princeton game last Saturday in New Haven. Or was, at least, until an untoward incident marred the beauty of that otherwise happy day. It seems that shortly after the beginning of the fourth quarter the pair decided to leave ahead of the crowd. Just as they reached the entrance to portal 1 7, Bill Kline started his sensational run which led to Yale's second and last touchdown. Naturally enough, in the excitement of the moment, they paused right at the mouth of the portal, staring wide-eyed at Mons. Kline in his spectacular course. And it was then that T. Blair Call, employe of the telephone company and an usher for a day, heard the stern call of duty. Perhaps he was an ardent Swanson fan, in which case what burning agonies must have writhed within him! Or perhaps he did not recognize the diminutive heroine of "Manhandled," "Sans Gene," "Stage Struck" and a score of other film best sellers. Or — again perhaps — perhaps he is that mythical figure, 1 he Man Who Never Saw a Movie. But at any rate — and there is no perhaps about this — T. Blair rose to the situation. "Lady," he said, firmly, "You'll have to get out of the portal." His only reply was an unperturbed glance from the film idol. Then, as picturesquely reported by the New York Herald Tribune, T. Blair lapsed into the quaint, academic phraseology peculiar to college towns. "Say, you," he continued, sternly, "Get outta de portal. Didja hear me?" Evidently, according to published reports, she did. A JACKIE THE GIANT KILLER LTHOUGH his education is by no means being neglected, Jackie Coogan's parents are determined that he shall grow up with a healthy mind in a husky body, and there is no pampering in his daily routine. He has just returned from six weeks at the Coogan hunting lodge in the high Sierras, where he went after completing "Old Clothes." While there, in addition to hunting, riding and fishing, he washed his own clothes, chopped wood, fed the horses and mules and made himself useful generally. Now he is back home, looking the picture of health and all "set to go" on his next picture.
