Picture Show (Nov 1919-Apr 1920)

10 The Picture Show, January 17th, 1920. I will tell you Free how to Reduce Your Weight I was just a strong young woman, full of life and vigour, and fond of good things to eat, enjoying life to its fullest extent, when suddenly my weight began to increase, and, strong as I was, I began to feel the burden, especially as 1 am a business woman and have plenty of work to do. While my earthly self was rapidly assuming abnormal proportions, the progress in this direction brought sorrow and consternation, because I knew that I must give up business or reduce my weight. I began to feel lonely, because I felt that my company was no longer desired, and I made up my mind that I was at the dangerous point of my life. One day an inspiration came to me, after I had spent time, money, and patience in vain efforts to become slim again. I acted upon this inspiration and succeeded, for 36 lbs. of ponderous weight vanished in five weeks. I did not use drugs, practise tiresome exercises, nor starvation diet, nor wear any appliances, but reduced myself by a simple home method, and, although this is some time ago, I have never gained any weight since, and my health is as good as I could wish. You could reduce your weight the same as I have done, and I will tell you how, free, if you will enclose two penny stamps to pay postage. W.

WILL ROGERS has a bad foot, acquired in tlio pursuit of duty (the same being a fight scene in the picture which he is now making), and for the most part he goes limping around in the slowest of fashions, but the other day he positively sprinted up to his producer. When he reached him, he gasped out : " Tell me it isn't so ! There is a limit to everything, and " "Tell you what isn't so? "'asked Clarence Badger, wondering if the cheerful lariat-thrower had gone crazy or was suddenly developing " temperament." Rogers was almost too excited to tell him, but finally he managed to say that someone had told him that another light scene was to be made, and that his opponent in it would be Eli Stanton. Now, Stanton not only stands sis feet two and weighs 200 pounds, but he is such a fighter that he trained with Jess "Wiltard for the big fight, and in 1915 he won the heavyweight belt of the Regular Army. No wonder Will was nervous ! How to Become An Actor. By Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran. Choose a good mother and father. Have them select you a name such as Quinine de Quincy, Bevo la France, or some equally high-sounding name. Secure an education at the earliest convenience. Learn to sign bank cheques both backwards and forwards. Find out some nice motion picture company you would like to work for. Then don't work for them, but wait until they call you. If they have not called you inside of six years, start all over again. Write yourself three or four hundred " letters from admirers " a day. Get a press agent with St. Vitus's dance in his typewriting fingers. Secure a salary of a million per week. Learn to act. Cheek. Angry Old Gentleman (in picture theatre, to lady in row in front) : " Excuse me. madam, but I paid a shilling to come here, and I can see nothing but your hat ! " Indignant Young Lady: " Perhaps you are not aware, sir, that I paid twenty times as much for my hat ! " Awkward. Picture Actress (to her little niece) : " What is a fictitious character, aunty ? " Picture Actress : " One that is made up, dear." Her Niece : " Then you are a fictitious character, aren't you, aunty ? " A Dreamer. Constance : " What a dreamer Betty is ! " Mildred : " I should say so ' When I told her about an accident in which the stunt actor lost both of his legs, she said that was too bad, as he would not be able to leave any footprints on the sands of t!me ! " The Truth. NO ! " said the old gentleman sternly. " I will not do it. Never have I sold anything by false representations, and I will not begin now. It is an inferior grade of shoe, and I will not pass it off as anything better. Mark it ' A Shoe Fif for a Cinema Actress,' and put it in the window. A cinema actress never walks, she rides in her car everywhere she goes." Her Artful Way. A RECENTLY married film artiste one morning gave her husband a sealed letter, which be was to read when he got to the studio. He did so, and the letter ran as follows : . I am obliged to tell you something that may give you pain, but there is no help for it. You shall know everything, whatever be the consequences. For the last week I have felt that, it must come to this, but I have waited until the last extremity, and can remain silent no longer. Do not overwhelm me with bitter reproach, for you will have to put up with your share of the trouble as well as myself." Cold perspiration stood in thick drops on the brow1 of the screen villain, who was prepared for the worst. Tremblingly he read on : " Our coal has all gone. Please order a ton to be sent this afternoon on your way home. I thought you might forget it for the tenth time, and therefore wrote you this letter." But he didn't forget it that time !
