!2■ —— —— I l|-i— „ .--Q 1 A Wild Day Out on Location By MAVERICK TERRELL ;'■ "" ' =~ it l»it. Weitera .Sswh|iaii*r Vnlwa.) A GREAT many queer thing* have happened lu the film*; among utb ers Kepnlth Keith. Like the film*, he wu* a bit of everything; good bad and worse, and like Hollywood, limelight wa» the best thing he did. j Keith ought to have been an Ideal cowboy—be hud been born and brought up in Chicago. It had been an off day out on loca- | thin. Hoke Brook*, who was directing . Keith In 'Where God'* Country Begins,’ hadn't been In the customary putlent frame of mind. Even Pawnee, Keith’s faithful steed, had caught the drift of affairs and added hi* note; he stood on hl* ears when the camera counted on his stand lug on tils white-stockinged feet, lie bolted when he should have remained loyally by bi* master's ruined body, there at the bottom of the inevitable cliff, and he continually, despite Keith's spurs, faced the camera when be should have profiled neatly, us he bad been painstakingly taught. | Even "Burnt-blanket" Tompkins, Keith’s long-enduring double, was oft bls feed and rolled his cigarettes with two fingers! 'This day had been worse than any other out on this particular location, whk-h was up at Copper lake, und at three o'clock Brooks threw bl* hands tip to the skies, called upon all the angels and any stray devils to witness the last ooze of bl* patience, and rushed away into the southern California forest to keep from doing muri der or worse. Five minutes later Ken ! tilth Keith rushed hell-bent up the 1 lune railroad track. It was the only 1 direction left out of camp! Registering hysteria plus, Keith dis- ' appeared around the cut. The company, inure Impressed than usual, decided there was a fair chance that the double stall wuuld preclude any mure work that day. Some of them went to sleep up against the bluff. i Young Keith tramped up the track In high dudgeon; everything and everybody got on hi* high salaried nerves. He choked with anger and kept on walking. The day was unusually warm. Keith began to get a bit drowsy. He was very, very tired and he needed rest. The film stur came finally to a lonely switch, upon the sidetrack of whl'b dejectly stood a lone box-car. Tie? door was open and the floor was covered with Invitingly clean straw ; Keitlt was worn out. Brooks had seen tn tliut! Kennlth climbed In, parked himself comfortably in the heaped straw and fell sound asleep. He awoke to the motion of the box ■ ear. It was running away! Something had happened to the brakes; there was a grade and the car w as running wild; Keith, fully awakened, tried to get to his feet, impossible He was bound and gagged. For the moment he thought he had lost his senses. Then he heard the hushed ! voices from out of the dark of the car. The door had been closed! As long as lie lives Kennlth Keith will never forget tlie nightmare of that night; the first real sight lie had of his fellow occupants of the car, In the light of the engine fire-box when they finally shot their way Into the express car and blew open the express company safe. The robbers were all Mexicans—the worst looking pack of greasers Keith had ever seen, even in the films. The holdup was over quickly, and the swag was carried to the cached horses, while one Mexican with a Winchester kept the crew under cover. Kennlth Keith', still bound and gagged, all the bravado out of him, was compelled none too gently to mount a horse and dash away with the train robbers. The Mexicans kept up a maddening speed but soon Keith, sore at heart and everywhere, heard not far behind them the inevitable pursuers. it was a night of torture. It was as dark as indigo and they rode, pursued and pursuers, like madmen. Once a limb knocked Keith off bls horse but u Mexican, riding behind, picked him up as neat as a sombrero on the ground. God's nobleman was about all in. He remembered no more. When be came to himself, he was in the same box-ear, on the same switch, and It was the break Os day. Cursing himself for the poorness of his dreaming Imagination, strangely sore in body I and utterly fagged out, he returned I to the company camp. I Hoke Brooks finished the picture un- ' der smoother conditions; everyone, ■ everything seemed to go better, espeI dally the star, who shelved his tenii perament for another day. Keith acted i so humanly that he frightened two'wr ' three of his company into the best act- , ing they had ever done. Two weeks later, in the Old Man’s Inner office, at the Paragon studio, i Hoke Brooks got the surprise of his directing life; the Old Man was complimenting him on the new picture. I "Some caviar, Hoke," he wheezed. "Knock ’em cuckoo. Best picture Keith ever pulled. Just signed him up for another year this morning. Got that bird where I want him; hog-tied! Thank Gawd! Keith's about the last of the augur-cured hams left in Hollywood! Hoke, It was worth every cent taking the guff out of him. Lemme see; three thousand, thirty-six fifty; horn! One week’s salary! Cheap at tin- price; greasers, train and all. Say. P,rooksey, honest j’think lie still bo Have* it was a dream, huh 7"

Having retired early Hindenburg rose today at 6 a.m. in accordance with decades of military habit. He had spent the night at the chance.lory as guest of Chancellor Luther and a." an early breakfast of bread and butter and eggs in solemn aloofness. As is his custom, Hindenburg then smoked his cigar in the garden, romping

with his police dog. Shortly before noon Hindenburg and Luther drove to the reiehstag The streets along the route were filled by seething crowds waving flags of red, White and black. There were I many youths, but women outnumbered the men five to one. Thousands of police, drawn from sourrounding cities to augment HitUn’s force held tlie crowds back. There were vacant seats on the tloor of the reiehstag, where some communists and other deputies were absent i but. the galleries were teeming. Hie diplomatic doges were tiled and Hie press corner was like a bee hive. While imperial colors predominated outside, the republican flag in con trasting black, gold and red druped the table on thte rostrum. The presidential chair was decorated with a wreath of hydrangeas. From the top of the reiehstag, on two tall flag poles, floated the flag of the German repub.ic and the new war ensign. Thousands of school children who had received a holiday for the occasion cheered shrilly and threw flowers as Hindenburg’s car witli a flattering escort of cavaly, swept past to Hie Wilhelmstrasse palace. The first act of ’the new president was to receive members of the Luther cabinet. Then lie was host at a luncheon nt the palace in honor of tlie departing provisional president. Dr. Simons, who served since the death of 1 resident Ebert. It has been a strenous day for President Hindenburg and lie postponed until tomorrow Hie customary reception to the reiehstag piovincial authorities and will receive tlie diplomatic corps Thursday. Not all the cheers in the reiehstag were favorable to Hindenburg, for when that body convened this afternoon. some communists were present shouted: “Down with Hindenburg" The cry was drowned out by a roar of “Hoch" from the nationalists. President Loebe of the reiehstag had been informed that the communists intended to stage a riotous demonstration against Hindenburg and had ordered extensive precautions. There was no trouble during the ceremony in the reiehstag, which last ed but 15 minutes. After President Loebe had administered the oath of office, he turned to the deputies and cried: “Hoch Germany." Shouts of “Down with the monarchy” came from a handful of communists who ironically gave three cheers. o —• County Hospital Notes Mr. and Mrs. Sam Novick, 4319 Beaver Ave..
