Eddie Sutherland, who Is Charlie Chaplin’s right-hand bower, calls to our attention this morning a highly interesting piece in one of the na tional magazines which states that Doug Fairbanks loses an average of five pounds a day when he exercises. "And inasmuch," stated Eddie, “as it has been heralded to the four cor noi-B of the world that Doug exercises every day and all the time, I have been struck with the fact that he is thus losing 1,600 pounds a year. "To my personal recollection, Doug ha* been exercising for 20 year*. Thus we deduce that ho ha* lost. In all, something like 30,000 pounds. "And how in the name of hector's pup do you figure out that he weighs five pounds more than he weighed 20 years ago, when as a matter of faft he ought to weigh about minus 29,350?" A moot problem, Indeed, say we. Abe and Julias. As he went Into the projection room one afternoon to see a new picture, Abe told fhe man that ran the pro jection machine: “Vatch my hand. Ven I hold It up, stop the fillum." "Sure," said the operator, "but what's the Idea?" "Listen,” said Abe. “There's only one laugh In the picture; 1 vant to laugh a long time.” •Sweating It Off.
