have one's life thus characterised . .
by a company which specialises in
the most frantic serials was rather
disconcerting.
Now as I try to view my own his-
torical record with detachment I
can see clearly what the scenario
editor meant. The hero of my tale
is not a: all consistent. like a movie
hero. In fact. I am not sure that he
is the hero. At times he has all the
appearance of "the villain."
Yet again. he seems to have good
impulses. which a. movie villain nev-
or has. Nor does my life run true
to dramatic form. It should mount
in a straight line to a climax. In-
stead of that it bounds. like a kan-
geroo.

A Real Nime
I was born in the little village of.
Castelianeta. Italy. May s. it". end
wee shortly thereafter christened
Rodolphe Alfonso Rauaelo Pierre
Fillhert Guglielmi di Valentine
d‘Antonguolla. '
Can you imagine how that would
look In electric lights in front of a
theater? My real name is Gug-
lielml. My mother was the daughter
of a learned Parisian doctor. and my
tether in his youth was a. captain of
Italian cavalry.
When I was eleven years old my
tether died end I was sent off to
Dante Alighieri College. which cor-
responds to avhigh school in this '
country. I finished the course a:
thirteen end then went to a military
school. But I wee more interested
in romantic novels then I was in my
studies, so the authorities sent me
home.
My mother was heartbroken end I
was truly contrite because of her
suffering. .1 determined to do better
for her sake and enrolled in the
Royal Academy of Agriculture to
learn to be a scientiiih farmer. I
was graduated with the highest hon-
Wefmetlc'
era in my class. much to the grati-
fication of my mother.
Following this accomplishment. I
again slipped from grace and went
off to Paris and Monte Carlo to see
the world. After all my money was
gone I returned home a prodigal
son.
My family decided that I was apt
to disgrace them and that it were
better that I be shipped far, far
away. So my mother scraped to-
gether “.000 to finance my voyage
to America. where. I was to seek
fame and fortune.
I arrived in New York just two
days before Christmas. Dec. 28. 1913.
The new land was very strange to
me and I was very lonely. In order
Vite Lover
.e.
to find companionship I frequented
the cafes. This took all my money
but I did learn to dance. which was
to be beneficial to me later.
When my funds were all gone i
got esjob as superintendent of the
Long Island estate of Cornelius
Tlliss, Jr. This lasted only a short
while. as I showed an irresponsible
nature and was courteously dis-
missed.
My next “position" was as an ap-
prentice landscape gardener in Cen-
tral Park. New York City. After a
month of this I went to the civil
service bureau to get a regular job.
but found I was not eligible because
I was not a. citizen.
I had no Job and no funds. I was

forced from one lodging to another.
I went hungry and slept in Central
Park. One hot summer day I
walked the miles to the City Hall
looking for uork. Lnable to got it
I walked back.
After doing any little odd jobs
that I could get. I finally went to
the head waiter at Maxim‘s and got
employment us a duncer. This was
really the start of my professional
carom‘. for I later obtained dancins’
engagements with Bonnie Glass and
Joan Sawyer.
Still dreaming of using my educa-
tion as an agriculturist. I Joined a
musical comedy company headed
lfor the Pacific coast. with the hope
that California might offer some-
thing. ‘
The troupe stranded in San Fran-
cisco and I was again without a job.
I tried selling bonds but without
success.

At this point Norman Kerry. whom
I had known in the east, suggested
that I try motion pictures. Norman

could get even extra work. I knocked
about from pillar to post playing
villains and small parts until June

This was followed by another Rex
Ingram picture. “The Conquering
Power." and by Nazimova's "Cam-
ille." Then came the picture that
"made' me—"The Sheik." It was fol.
lowed by “Cobra." "The Young Ra-

I then transferred to the United

Smallest Poet Oifice
Reported In Maryland

the smallest post office in the Unit-
ed States apparently has been car-
ried away by G. E. Frazier. post-
master at Bandle Cliffs. Md.. the
Post Office Department announced
on August 23. Itnndle Cliffs is scarce-
ly 100 miles from the national cap-
ital, and according to the records of
the post office department had a to-
tal of $128 In postal receipts for
the last fiscal year.
The department in making known
that Bundle Cliffs was the smallest
office said that heretofore the hon-
spot the smallest- office was about
equally divided between Grimshatves.

Says Fear Of Laughs
Makes Poor Putters
NEW ORLEANS. (AP).-—-Fear of
ridicule keeps many a poor putter
over a hundred thinks George Tur-
plc. professional of the St. John’s
Golf Club here.
"Most golfers would have better
luck getting their putts down if they
used only one hand." suggests
Turple.
"They refuse to let one hand do
the work and in most cases actually
have the hands pulling against each
other as they hit the ball. All of us
have had i experience of non-
.chelantly hit it the ball with one
hand after a hole has been won. and
we would doubtless be amazed if we
stopped to think how many of these
carelessly potted balls have rolled
straight in the cup."
Moat dogs look funny. But it
could be worse. A snake's tail ends
where its neck starts.
A few hot words can cool the best
