(Continued from Page 5/) where Thomas keeps in trim to jump off cliffs and wrestle bandits, by means of trapezes and rings. ThE huge buildings that look so much like the big barns down on the farm that you look instinctively for the silo and windmill, are the stages. Two of them have glass roofs ; the others are "dark" stages. The glass roofs are arranged to attract all the sunlight possible. They do. On warm days, when the famed California sunshine functions even as the Chamber of Commerce would have it, the martyred actors on the set experience all the sensations of Saint Lawrence on the gridiron. On these stages, Sheba's queen courted pneumonia, and the Connecticut Yankee brought New England ways to Arthur's court and made him like it. Here Tony, the talented pony, shares close-ups with his master, and here the Count of Monte Cristo suffered divers grievous ills. Truly, romance clings to these raftered roofs. In the furthermost corner of the last stage, after threading our way around perilous shin-smashing piles of lumber and carpenters' tools, we find William Russell, the corn fed strong-man, shooting the last scenes of his picture, Man Size. Between shots, he discourses with the gentleman with the weary expression and the reversed cap who handles his camera with gloves and the actors without, on the relative importance of serials over program pictures. Bill is going back to the continucdnext-week dramas as soon as ever he can break away from his contract with Vitagraph, it is rumored. Bill never made so much money nor so many friends as when he weekly rescued the heroine from the jaws of death and leaped from crag to crag after fiends in human form who had stolen "the papers." But let us pass through that little white gate that swings only one way — out — and cross Western avenue to the comedy lot. Here Al St. John flirts with custard pies and Chester Conklin gaily falls from dizzy heights into specially prepared plaster baths. Here, too, Clyde Cook cavorts, to his own amusement if to no one's else. Mysterious Ways 0/ the Beauty Glutton (Continued from Page 48) into this establishment and made a bill of ninety dollars. She had everything done to her pretty person that she could think of, and in a fit of generosity made her sister a present of a permanent wave! Occasionally a man comes in for a permanent wave, and then there is great joy in woman's land. The other day a male player in the cast of The Humming Birdstill humming merrily in a Los Angeles theater with the inimitable Maude Fulton as the mysterious bird — came in for a permanent wave. Only ten tubes were needed for his manly locks. Professional reasons, purely, however. In this particular beauty parlor it is information which has ceased to agitate that Claire Windsor has peroxided blonde hair and that she wears a lovely golden wig in pictures; that Betty Compson's crowning glory started out as a nice mouse-colored brown mop of just hair; was treated to a dose of henna and created a sensation on the Christie lot when it sprung a halo on the camera; and that now she has to make up her mind each morning which of her three beautiful yellow wigs she will wear and which she will send to the laundry or dry-cleaners; that Mary Pickford does not wear a wig at all, at all, but that she does curl her hair artificially; that Noma's and Constance's locks are bobbed and have to be supplemented generously by "storebought" hair; that Marguerite dc la Motte has the prettiest complexion and the most disdainful lips; that Constance Talmadgc really hasn't an atom of style; that Norma's street clothes are often home-made by Mama Talmadge ; that Stuart Holmes wears a toupee of passionate red curls to synchronize with the fringe which has survived the encroachings of an egg-like dome; that Lottie Pickford has had nine permanent waves; that — but enough, enough; leave us one little illusion, oh Scheherazade of the beauty parlors ! Let us still believe that Bill Hart is an Apollo and that Ben Turpin just does his eyes that way on purpose.
