MOVING PICTURE STARS VISITING IN CITY

Augustus Phillips and son, Charles, of new York City, arrived here Friday* evening for a short visit with relatives and friends, and were joined here this Saturday afternoon by Mrs. Phillips. They will go to Fowler Sunday and from there continue to Los Angeles, California, where they will work this winter. Mrs. Phillips is known on the screen as Mildred Manning and has just completed two pictures, “The Westerner,” which has just been released, and “The Tournier,” a 'French picture which will be released soon. During their screen careers Mr. and Mrs. Phillips have been connected with the following picture corporations: The Laskys, Paramount, American, Metro, the B. B. Hampton, Jesse D. Hampton, Lewody and McArbuckle. Mr. Phillips has been on the stage for years, working for many years on the legitimate stage before entering pictures, and during that time has met with much success. Mrs. Phillips is bne of the best known of present day screen stars and she and her husband will appear in many pictures during the coming winter months. “Gus” is a Rensselaer boy, having spent his early youth and manhood here, and it is a source of great satisfaction to his friends in this city to learn that he is still meeting with the same genuine success that he has enjoyed in the past. The junior Phillips vehemently asserts that he will never enter pictures, much preferring to become a professional ball player or a cowboy.
