By HARRISON CARROLL CoorrigM l»>4. King r«atur«k Syndic*u. ln< HOLLYWOOD. Calif. — A chance horseback ride yesterday afternoon gave Victor McLagien the first two plants for his new garden of memories. The star was returning home from a survey

of the $30,000 damage done to his estate by the recent flood. About 300 yards from the house, his eye was caught by a fleck of color in a bed of silt left by a back-water. Vic dismounted and a moment later was exclaiming with pleasure. The spot of color was the bloom of a

Transvaal daisy, given to hitn months ago by Helen Mack and one of the 30U rare plants washed away from his garden of memories. Further search discovered a tritoina. the gift of Sally Rand severs years ago when she was a Wampas Baby star. Both the flowers were still alive and McLagien carefully transplanted them to their original position in tlie garden. This star, who is rough and hardboiled on the screen, spends much time with a rake and hoe on the grounds of his estate. While making “The Man Who Broke His Heart” at Paramount. Vic recently rose with the dawn to work two hours a day with the crew of men and tractors repairing the ravage of the storm. A new addition to the McLagien estate will be stables, a race track and a steeplechase court. They are principally for the pleasure of Vic s 10-year-old daughter. Sheila, who already has won three ribbons for riding jumping horses. Another famous youngster of filmdom, John Blythe Barrymore. Jr., got his first hair-cut yesterday.

Perishable vegetables such as spinach are used first and iMac, the chef, who is devoted to the children, sees that every necessary article on their diet is ready at hand. John. Jr., learned to walk on the boat and, if you can believe his father, returned home with quite a roll in his gait. With a glint tn his eye. Barrymore adds: "Os course, the boy probably doesn’t know what water is yet—not if he’s a son of mine at least.” Which reminds me of Lionel Barrymore’s humorous dig when he saw the wire-netting John had erected around the fish-pool. “What is that for?" asked Lionel. “To keep the babies from falling in,” replied John.
