Erect and energetic, declaring he felt “as I did at 21.” Belasco arose ; early today and prepared to gather , his company about him for the an- j nual birthday party. Always an abstainer. Belasco ac- j eepts a single glass of champagne J on each birthday. He never smokes j and never learned to play any j games—even the baseball, shinny or i tag games of childhood. He feels, he says, as if he were on j the threshold of his career and he | has the same spirit as the Belasco | of fifty years ago. who came from : the west to assault the fortress of , the metropolis, so stoutly held by j Daly. Palmer and Wallack. “Retire?” he exclaimed, “I shall retire when I am carried feet first out of the theater. As long as Belasco has his mental and physical powers he will be in the theater. Why I've been on and off the stage ever since I was 8 months old.” A total of five plays is his goal I for the present, season, he declared, with thirty-seven others in sight for the next eight years. Belasco was born in San Francisco July 25. 1854. in a beach cottage in old Howard street, just eight hours after his father and mother j had landed, penniless, from Lon- , don. His mother was a Portuguese j gypsy, his father a London harlequin of Jewish extraction. Blanche Batos. Frances Starr, David Warfiel. Lenore Ulric.

SI,OOO to Mother, Rich Prizes to Daughter in Great Contest

i Since the first announcement of ! the SI,OOO prize that will be given, m addition to all the other prizes, I to the mother of America’s physical culture girl, a flood of commendatory letters has poured into the office of The Times physical cul--ture editor from mothers of prospective entrants. This special prize is filling a longfelt want, for virtually in all campaigns where girls’ beauty of body or Deautv of face was concerned, the mother came in for little, if any, of i the major prizes. Physical Culture Magazine, in offering the extra bonus of SI,OOO to the mother, has ! won even a bigger place for itself in the hearts of mothers who have tried all their lives to rear their girls along body building and clean living lines. To the mother who will get this , big award, it undoubtedly will mean mam things besides the unparal- ! leled happiness in knowing that her daughter, from all the thousands of girls, is the best proportioned, most athletically inclined and the finest specimen of American girlhood. On Aug. 10, the submitting of applications will close, and it is not much trouble between now and then for a girl to send a recent photograph of herself in bathing suit with the following information on the back: Name, address, age and occupation. Then tell us your- weight, height, color of eyes and hair. What does your bust measure, your waist, hips, thigh, calf and ankle? Tell us what particular sports you indulge in and are fond of. Admit frankly , whether you smoke or not. In a forthcoming issue of Physical Culture Magazine, Bernarr Macfadden. father of physical culture, points out that this is not an ordinary beauty contest. It has a bigger meaning. It represents higher j levels of living and health, anew idealism of clean living and new standards of feminine loveliness. If you are the local girl selected to compete with other inter-city physical culture girls from all over America in New York, there will be '

Complexion Terrible. Had Pimples Three. Years. Healed by Cuticura* “When I was about fifteen years old my face became covered with pimples and blackheads. The pimples were small when they first started but gradually got larger and harder. Then they would fester and when I squeezed them they itched and burned causing me to scratch. My complexion was terrible. I had the trouble about three years. “I read an advertisement for Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a free sample. I purchased more, and after using one and a half cakes of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment I was healed.” (Signed) CJetas H. Geels, Ind. Truck Corp., Marion, Ind, April 10,1929.
