Below you will find a picture of Rex Davis, the British screen athlete, skipping himself lit ; and those who know .Rex best need the least convincing that he is the ideal British boy -sound in body, clean in mind, and, withal, a clever screen actor. And, as you see in this page, May Allison is wise enough to S go in for physical jerks -and / Ciiorge Walsh Tom Mi.\ /re i Pavts. ^^ Herbert Itawfinsmi. V1»#*^ also wise enough to " take on " one who does not tower above her in strength ' There are two worlds in which George Walsh lives. One is the studio, and the other the gymnasium. And I am told that there is no feat of strength or physical endurance common (or uncommon, for that matter) to the " gym. " that George cannot do without pausing. He has boxed with Dempsey, and performed risky feats with Raoul Brighton was the original training ground for Herbert Rawlinson ; and when he left the English seaside place for America, he was a perfect specimen of athletic manhood. And now he lives at the Los Angeles Athletic Club, where he goes through a regular course every morning. His keenest interest is swimming, and he recently created a record by doing a mile in 20 minutes. Another of the physical jcrkists of the films is, ol course, Antonio Moreno, whose boyhood's ideal was a bull-fighter in his native land. He trains when working, and trains when playing ; everything he does has to contribute to his physi< d fitness His latesi game is water polo, which he has found in develop every muscle of the body. And, finally, there is that monu ment of strength, Tom Mix. He lives on the assumption that every mo ment must be " Training Time, and every action must make him more lit. To this end he runs his own ranch.
