For the first time in several years
Blanche Sweet attempts light com-

The combination of the talented
actress in this role, and the able di-

Neilen. is a most happy one. and
"The Sporting Venus" can be rated
as one of the heat production on
the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer program.

that anyone knows is that she is
"Miss DuPont."
Many guesses have been hazarded
by her friends. but she will» not as-
sist even by telling them when they
are wrong; neither will she say who-
ther or not she has a first name. and
there be those who insist that such
a formality as bestowing a given
name upon her was overlooked.

It is indeed an amusing story that
the old Broadwayiioe tell of Weber
and Fields and Paul Salvin. former
owner of the Palais Royals and oth-
er of New York's famous night
clubs.
Paul was a. youngster of the East
Side who had already been seen on
the stages of the Bowary when Web-
or and Fields first turned their in-
terests to theatrical careers. As the
owner of the only pair of clogs in
~ the neighborhood. Paul commanded
great respect. and he boasted a like-
ly band of followers.
Among those was one who. at a.
time when even a dime was an awo-
inspiring sum always seemed to
have plenty of cash. He made the
money. he said. selling ginger spans
at the ferry station at One Hundred
and Twenty-fifth street. The two
boys followed him one day and
learned where he purchased his
wares and how much he paid for
them.
With the aid'of their parents they
raised the necessary capitol and the
next Sunday arose at sunrise to walk
from the Bowery to Harlem. some
ten miles. Their first day was a.
huge success. On a stock worth
thirty-five cents they cleared a. dol-
lar twenty.
Then came the day that taxed
even the endurance of these stalwart
young souls. The day was bright
and the walk to the ferry landing
had been accomplished in record
time. But hardly had the two little
urchins begun their sales than ' a.
great rain storm broke turning the
c isp little gingersnaps into a soft.
cushy ball.
