What 'Fine Manners". She was hustled home and a doctor and nurse were in constant attendance. But as soon as she could she insisted upon bundling up and going out to the Famous Players studio to pose for the last few close-ups. When not on the set she sat wrapped in blankets in her little portable bungalow-dressing room. As soon as she was convinced that her work was done, she allowed her "Hank" to take her to Atlantic City for a short rest.

Richard took the title's advice and, in a scrap with some heavy fellows, smashed his hand and was laid up for a while. H e insisted upon working with his other hand while the injured member was mending. Bet the studio is wondering how much persuasion it will take to induce Richard to let some husky double for him in his next battle. I could tell them the answer right now. Buck Jones, who went to Europe with Mrs. Jones a few weeks ago, turned up again in New York a full month before his vacation was up. When they asked the big western star how he liked Europe he said he liked America more and added he was going to explore it first. He's a likeable fellow. Buck — but he won't talk about himself much.
