GLENN TRYON.
Acts to Live, But Lives to Play.
When is an netar not an actor? "When he is a hunter, Asher- man or carpenter." declares Glenu Tryon, who is all of these rolled into one.
Glenn acts for a living, but he lives to hunt, Ash, potter around his little carpenter shop and play with his dog, Toby-to say noth ing of enjoying life in general with his pretty little blonde wife, We spent the greater share of an afternoon at the Tryon home

He did dis- play his new big game rille which Mrs. Tryon had just given him for his birthday. And he did show us the new house he is bulking for the flog. He has a little workshop fixed up in the basement of his home and it's there that he can be found most of the time when he ian Beling--unless he's pulling wede out of the garden.

LITTLE PRINCESS
ELIZABETH.
BEING WELL TRAINED IN REGAL MANNERS.
Prinerss Elizabeth, the baby granddaughter of King George and Queen Mary, is being strictly trained in regal manners.
Punetrality, for instance. punctuality is the courtesy kings, King George V is the must courteous gentleman in the world, Whee it is announced that he will epieu some governmental affair at noon, it can be relied upon 18ut as the belly of "Big Ben boom out the on hour, King George, in simple morning attire, will be seen quietly advancing into the confer- ence chamber.

So also in the evening, no mat ter how fascinating the romp she I having with her mother, the Duchess of York, whon nurse ap- pears in the doorway and says: "Bed-time," the baby princess lod- dies off without a murmur.
Then, there's courtesy to the public. Unlike so many royal cou- ples-who, by the way, lost thuir thrones--King George and Queen Mary, while always remaining dig- nified and conscious of their poai-i tion, always have apprecisted: what is due the public. When they drive out in their car and are aulated by groups of people, they are most punctilious in return-| ing the salutations.

Princess Elizabeth, the granddaughter of King George and Queen Mary was 'receiving a lesson in how to act at publie functions when, as you see her below, accompanied by a nurse, she arrived at the Royal Tournament of Olympia. The upper picture shows her playing with her dog in the garden of the

Princess Elizabeth has not ac tually begun her schooling as yet. but the other day when Queen Mary was ont shopping she bought some charming little books for children in French. They were for her grandehild's Christmas stocking. That, of course, menus that soon the little girl will be having a French governess and will harn French without even knowing that it is a l88011.

Exclamation Denied Her.
Just as her grandfather is the first gentleman of the lund, Princess Elizabeth, If she ever mounts the throne, will be the first lady of the land. So already hur manners are receiving careful at tention. From sumebody she pick- ed up the habit of saying "My goodness," She was told that this simply was moi done. One day when she wan entertaining her grandfather, after his long painful illness, the King left the room for a moment and did not lose the door. She promptly told him about it. She had been taught that one closes a door after une. The little girl does not know it yet, but she is the subject of an enormous amount of public atten- tion. A great dent of this is, of course, due to the fact that only three lives stand between her and the throne-those of her grand- father, King George, her uncle, the Prince of Wales, and her fa- ther, the Duke of York. So Bomo day England may have a second Queen Bess-the first one having
Glenn Tryon and his dog. Toby, and pictures that has kept him from stepping into the front rauk of filmden's celebrities. If so, he deserves commendation. There are to many persons In Holly wood now who can eulogize for hours when the subject is "L" But at the same time his reticener is bad from a business standpoint, Hollywood folk just don't under- stand actors who don't talk about how great they were in this or that picture..
But with all of that Glenn has made a surruss of his enreer as an actor. With life on Montarm cattle ranches plus a few months in tunt shows as bis only back- New York ground, he invaded and in his own words "fasted and feasted" for several years before he really started in "get by" un the legitimate stage and in vaude- ville. Then he came west again, made several comedies for al Roach and then signed a five-year contract with Universal.
That contract having just been completed, Glenn has dreiched to take a fling of the free lance rates ket for a while and see how he likes it. With production so slow in nearly all studios at the pre- sent time, he is apt to have tough aledling for a few months. But since we are right in the midst of the hunting season, that's the least of his worries right now, especial- ly since he is confident that by the time he gets his fill af hunting tire will be a job awaiting him.

The newspapers have discovered that their readers like to Hue things about the child, so wil her doings are fully detailed. For a time several London newspapers made it a habit of having a daily story about the Princess. Now the Duke or Duchess of York have established not a palace, but a rent home in Piccadilly, and they do not encourage gossip about their little girl.
Biography Already Written. Another extraordinary sign of the immense interest the public has in the child is that all records. have been broken in that, at the age of 4, a book of biography nc- tually has been printed about her, A young lady, formerly attached to the household of the Duke and Duchess, has written it with the sauction of the royal pair.
