â– THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY 19 Unusual Sports of Little Stars By Petet Pepper Little Zoe Rae, star of the Zoe Roe Feature, "The Golden Heart," .on a new motor-cycle, belonging to George Marshall. She has learned to drive this as well as her car. OST of the little stars at Universal City have diversion outside of their regular work, although it must be said that picture work for little people such as these is not hard or irksome. However, the four little stars pictured on this page, and the two on the preceding page, have very decided tastes in the matter o f recreation. Little Zoe Rae, for instance, who is here shown on her motor cycle, is a speed maniac. She wasn't contented until her mother bought her a car. Mother bought it with little Zoe's salary, too. Zoe found all the other stars iX Universal City driving their own motor cars, and just as soon as she possibly could, she solved the intricacies of motor driving, and was a nine-days' wonder at Universal City, seating at the driving wheel of her own coupe. But Zoe tired of this when she saw George Marshall buzzing around on his motor-cycle, and it seemed as though he were going twice as fast as she in her car, and be it known that Zoe is a regular demon for speed. One day when she refused to be satisfied with the moderate pace which safety demanded, her father told her that she must be careful, and not want to go any faster, or she would be pinched by the first cop they met. This made a deep impression, and later, when daddy himself had taken the wheel and put on a bit of speed, Z oe said: "Drive slower, daddy, or we'll be pinched, and then we'll be all black and blue!" So now little Zoe has learned to ride a motorcycle, but it doesn't belong to her. It is George Marshall's, and every individual around the place is scared to death whenever Zoe mounts this contraption, for fear it will run away with her. Zoe Rae's ambition is boundless, and whenever she hears of any other child actor doing anything, or grown-up, too, for that matter, she immediately starts out to do it herself. She begged and besought Lena Baskette to teach her to dance, until now she is very proficient in this art as well. When the patriotic fervor seized the country, and everybody was endeavoring to perform some patriotic service, what do you think little Zoe did? She started to raise Boston Baked Beans for the soldiers, and although she is in California, she insisted that they should be Boston Baked Beans. Apparently she expects them to spring fully baked out of the pod. Another star, although a grown-up one, who enjoys motoring, and principally practises it on odd-sized vehicles, is Ella Hall. She is shown on the opposite page with a dinky little car, the merits of which she is (Continued mi 'page 39) Buster Emmons.
