AUCE MAN LIVES
AFTER SNAKE BITE
I Bv The Associated Press.)
SAN ANTONIO Texas May 1.—
Francisco Pena aged 12 probably
will live to tell of being bitten by a
huge diamond back rattlesnake.
At a local hospital tonight he was
reported improving due to injection
of a serum obtained from the army
hospital. This serum the only
known remedy for advanced cases
of rattlesnake bite was obtained in
South America by Colonel M. L.
Cummins retired. He distributed it
to the army post here and to Fort
Bliss and Fort Stockton.
The boy was brought here yester-
day from Alice. The snake attack-
ed him as he hoed cotton in the
field. His leg already was swollen
and badly discolored when he reach-
ed the hospital.

Six months ago Dorothy Scastrom
afectionutely called the "Candy
Kid" around the First National
studios because of her taffy colored
hair was just about the happiest
girl in Hollywood. After years of
straggle she had received a long term
contract fiom First National and
critics were p.aising her work.
Then the dark days came. Hard
woYfc told on Dorothy's rather
fiall strength and she fell a vic-
tim of tuberculosis. Her husband
sent her to a sanitarium in the
hills and she battled anginst the

disease gaining gradually each day.
By a strange coincidence Barbara
La Harr lay on a sick bed not fai
distant growing weaker each day asi
Dorothy mended.
Now Miss Seastrom is back in Hoi- j
lywood and First^National has given
her a new contract. She is to have
a part with Colleen Moore in “Deli- j
catessen.'*
Dorothy’s laughing and singing
apain and the movie colony’s busy
dropping in at her home to wish her
well.
Lillian fish's next starring role
will be that of Annie Laurie hero-
ine of one of the best known songs
in the English language. The film-
ing of the story w.ll do much to-
ward clearing up the mythological
atmosphere which has surounded j
the Scottish heroine who contrary j
to popular opinion did not wed the
author of the song but gave him up
for another.

Being a brunette but playing
ten bfonds to one brunette is the ex-
perience of Louise Fazenda. Ihir ng
the past year she has been “as is”
in only three pictures.
The role of ‘ Miss Hazy” the ec-
centric character of Alice Rice s
stories “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cab-
lage Patch” and “Lovey Mary
should come easy to Vivian Ogden
who is portraying it in the photo-
drama version of “Lovey Mary
which King Baggot is directing for
Metro-Gold wyn-Mayer.
Vivian Ogden played the part four
years on the speaking stage when
“Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch
was a dramatic favorite. Later she
had the same role when “Mrs.
Wiggs" was made into a photoplay.
Bessie Barriscale was "Loveey
Mary” then and May McAvoy was
one of the children who romped in
the background of the cabbage
patch.
By a coincidence when Miss Og-
den was playing Miss Hazy on the
speaking stage King Baggot was the
juvenile of the companv. He is now
directing her in “Lovey Mary."
* Bessie Love has the title role of
the pic ure while the cast includes
Russell Simpson. Mary Aden Rosa
Coio William Haines Sunshine Hart
anil .Martha Mattox.
Among the recent arrivals in the
Hollywood move colony is Olive
Brook Jr. eight pound son of the
English actor.
The recent promotion of Esther
Ralston to stardom by Paramount
lends weight to the frequently made
assertion that success in the films
means hard work and lots of it
Very few players become sensations
over night. It’s the experience that
counts a little bit here and a little
bit there a diversity of parts that
require real acting. These are the

things which make an actor.
Miss Ralston has been a member
of the Paramount stock company for
some time. Her first real success
came in “Peter Pan." Until the pro-
duction of “The Blind Goddess"
she had been cast in ingenue roles
On the strength of her work in her
first dramatic part Famous Players
{ cast her in “Old Ironsides." a story
of the old frigate “Constitution.”
She hails from Bar Harbor Me.
and was educated in New York and
j Washington. Before entering pic-
tures she was on the stage with oth-
er members of her family.
For a time Alec B. Franc!*
thought he would never be cast in
anything but a priest's role. He has
; played seven clerical parts in suc-
cession. Now in “Pals First” a
First National picture he is a suave
crook.
At last work has begun on “What
Price Glory?” Fox has given Ed-
mund Lowe the role of Sergeant
Qu.rt. Victor MrLaglen will play
Captain Flagg as previously an-
nounced and Dolores del Rio will be
Charmaine.
‘The General" will be Buster!
Keaton's next comedy. It will have |
a historical background in the Civil
War period.
John Barr more has selected the
lovely Dolores Costello to play op-
posite him in his next production for
Warner Brothers. Evidently John
agrees with the rest of us that Do-
lores has made good. The title of
the picture is as yet unannounced.
Costuming a thousand men in the
clothes of fill years ago plug hats

Strike New Blow at
Senate Filibusters
- •
(By The Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON D. C„ May 1.—
Another blow was struck today at
Senate filibusters.
Senator Jones of Washington the
republican whip gave notice that
he would propose to ament the rules
to require senators to speak to the
subject before the senate.
Such a rule would be in l.ne with
changes suggested bv vice President
Dawes in his tampugn to prevent de-
laying tactics and would put an end
to an ancient custom of senators
reading articles from newspapers
magashies or other publications to
delay action on a measure.
