a desire to form the.ir own producing companies. The widely publicized marriage offered an opportunity to leap into the fickle whirlpool of motion picture financing. Charlie Chaplin and Gloria Swanson came in with them and United Artists Corporation was organized. Os all the great stars, who have left lucrative contracts to make their own pictures, the United Artists four were among the very, very few who succeeded. Possibly this very love of their work, and the heady incense of success, made them succeed all the more. Both made the kind of pictures they always had wanted to make Mary produced "Annie Rooney." "Daddy Long Legs" and others of the sweet girl type that made her the most famous actress in Hollywood's history. Doug concentrated on "gigantics" that never have been equalled in scope and imagination “Robin Hood." “The Thief of Bagdad." "The Black Pirate" and The Gaucho" were a few. But making movies is only the start, as the lovers soon learned. Once a picture is finished, it must be exhibited if it is to return a profit. To do this, the big companies had world sales organizations. Mary and Doug had to build their own. and they had many heartaches a a a IN' their happiness they laughed at cares. Every free moment Doug spent on Mary's set. He couldn't take his eyes from her. Like a boy. he would stand on one foot and grin at the winsome girl in curls, who bestowed on him her post dazzling smiles. He woulcb back off the set, still grin-

ning. Usually, he stumbled ever something. Love scenes mean no more to actors than fist fight scenes—both are harmless. But Mary and Doug didn't feel that way. Their love was different, and a lot stronger. In Mary’s pictures there was little kissing. They were not that type Doug, though, was railed upon for many a passionate embrace \vith his various leading women, such as Billy Dove and Marguerite de la Motte. These clinging embraces, the "hot ones," always were made on Sundays. That was Mary's free day. The pictures always showed Doug doing his stuff while the leading lady turned her back to the camera. Because the leading lady, in those scenes, was Mary Pickfoid. Next: The great romance begins crumbling.

ALLEGED LADDER FANCIER NABBED BY DETECTIVES

Man of Many Aliases Is Accused of Taking Even Dozen. (Continued From Page Onei Jack’s father. H. B. Watson, was one of the ladder thief's victims, it seems. Some time ago a man walked up to the Watson house and explained that he was working on a house a few doors down and had been instructed to ask if he could borrow the Watsons' extension ladders. The Watsons complied. Nevermore, as the raven cried, did the Watsons see that ladder. And in rapid order, from north side homes, came reports of stolen ladders, all taken on similar pretenses. One woman reported that the ladder taken from her house had been one she had borrowed from a neighbor. Then came the last straw. Two men were picking cherries in a tree on Boulevard place. Their ladder was perched along the trunk when a man walked up and asked if he could use it for a few minutes. Alight Much Later The men nodded assent and off went man and ladder, never to return. The treed pair alighted—much later—and made a vociferous complaint to polic?. Two detectives already were trying to find the ladder thief. Two more were seeking a gasoline siphoning thief and they were beginning to believe they were after the same man. On° of the detectives, going back over his ground, told little Jack Watson to look for a small automobile bearing a known license number and give the word when he sighted it. Monday afternoon. Jack spotted the car in the 4500 block on Carrollton. He dashed, up to John A. Deery, 48. of 4552 Carrollton, who called police immediately. A police radio car made a hurrvup dash, but the car was gone. Jack, however, had watched the car move. Clothing In Car "He headed straight south,” he told the police. Off went the police car. In the 3300 block of College avenue they met Sweeney. Off to jail he went. In his car were several pieces of clothing, none of which, police say. belongs to him. In the car. they said, was a tell-tale gasoline can. Sweeney, they say. already has given approximately thirty addresses. He lives at none of them, police say. But they have hopes of getting him to break down—especially when they bring in the two fellows who sat up in that tree.
