By 1890 he was one of the famous stars of American light opera, and his career from that day to this has been one of continuous merrymaking in the theater.

Like Ulysses, he has been through hell and is returned to the bosom of Penelope. Will Rogers Shocks The "rrofesb." The theater world, being bounded on four sides by love of money, suffered a shock that was momentarily agitating when Will Rogers announced that he would give un half a million dollars' worth of contracts in order to take the place of his old pal Fred in the new Stone show, "Three Cheers." Later the friendly gesture took on the color of a sentimental tour de force. Greater love hath no actor than this, that he would give up 'a Job for his friend. Especially a paying job.

And that Mr. Rogers can and does make more money in more corn- fcrent career one less difficult. However, Sally wanted a profession that was difficult and not one that just anyone might learn. In high school she had taken three yean of Latin and majored in mathematics so that she might meet the requirements of a law school. She still believes that she would have attained high rank as a Jurist had not a career in the films interposed.

Discovery Credited To Frank Borage. Right here it Is apiopos to say that Sally's discovery as potential film material Is credited to Frank Bor-zate, one of Utah's favorite sons. Sally had known the Borzages in Salt Lake City and she renewed her acquaintance years later when she came to Hollywood.

By the time "Three Cheers" arrived at the Globe last week the town was ready to go a little wild in its admiration of Will.

The' genial humorist's success was immediate. He is wise enough to "kid" the idea that he can do anything in musical comedy in any way comparable with the tricks of Mr. Stone. He carries the Stone part around with him and whenever it calls for a back somersault or an ninjr one was. 8he played comedy leads, then several featured roles in major Fox productions.

Soon they began giving her leads In a number of youth pictures directed by David Butler, and in which Sally played opposite Nick Stuart. And then she went on up th ladder. Sally is a versatile young lady. She draws and paints, can typewrite, is a good seamstress, and is interested in photography. In school she studied free hand drawing and costume designing.

During this fifteen minutes, despite the funny pants and the strange wigs he wears, he is able to earn his own laughs with his own stuff, tickling both Republicans and Democrats, with charity for all and malice toward none. Neither Mr.

In selecting her clothes, she gives much thought to color. When she cannot find the combination that pleases her, she has them make up one to her liking. Even her shoes must be especially made for her to ftt in with the general effect she has in mind. There are two things that are distasteful to little Sally dishwashing and sarcasm. She has used her ingenuity in evading the former.

As for the sarcasm, Sally will say nothing.
