BORDEAUX . .NEWS Norma Talmadge and Gertrude Astor recently engaged in a hair- pulling match in Hollywood They fought like a pair of wildcats, Scratching and kicking, until the stage hands' separated them. When the battle ended the honors . were abotat even. Miss Astor had lost part of her hair, while Miss Talmadge was minus her skirt; which wts tqrp off during the melee. . Then they shook hands admist the applause of many interested specta tors. Miss Talmadge and Miss Astor weren’t really angry; it was all part Of the “shooting” of “Kiki,” Nor ma’s latest First National starring vehicle, produced by Joseph M. ftchenek. ^ ^ Battle Necessary. 1 The story of “Kiki” calls fdr a knock-down, drag-out battle between Miss Talmadge, playing the part of a Paris waif, and Miss Astor, as a French theatrical star. They are riv als—in the' picture—for the heart of a theatre manager (Ronald Colman). ’ Director Clarence Brown declared that it should be a real fight, with . no doubles or love pats. . ‘ “Fight!” urged Brown. “You’re bit ter enemies. French women—when they get mad enough—make Carmen and other wild ones look like kind ergarten girls. Now, get in front of the camera and • fight—and keep on fighting until I clap my hands.” So They Fought. And they fought. Norma’s admir ers, who associate her with digni fied, cultured roles similar to Prin cess Yetive in “Graustark,” woulc have had a difficult time recognizing the star if they had seen her battling with Miss Astor. Eyes ablaze am hair disheveled, they were what the spectators termed “a sight” as Brdwn gave the signal and hostili ties ceased. The “Kiki” fisticuffs were realistle enough to call a halt on work for the remainder of the day. “I hope there are no retakes dn that scene,” gasped the star as she slimped into a chair. “Ditto,” was all Miss Astor coul( Say. “Kiki” is booked at the Dixie The atre for ntext Friday and Saturday.

Billie Two of the five first places in egg production among the commercial demonstration poultry flocks in the state went to McCormick County poultrymen for the month of March, according to reports received from the Poultry Division of Clemson Col lege by Thos. W. Morgan, County Agent. These places went to Messrs. R. H. Middleton, of Clarks Hill, Leghorn of 20.4 eggs each during the month, and K. Dowtin, of McCormick, whose flock of 656 White Leghorns and Rhode Island Reds produced an average of 19.9 eggs each. . Beth these men have exceptionally good .flocks of poultry, and are fol lowing the best methods in their care of their birds. Mr. Dowtin’s flock has been ahiorig the first since the beginning of the records last No- vembei* His record among the ether flocks in the state is as follows for each month; November, third; De cember, second; January, second; February, second; and March, fifth. Eight poultrymen of the county are keeping records on their flock, and some mighty good results have been obtained. For instance, both Mr. Middleton’s and Mr. Dowtin’s rec ords show that they have averaged $100.00 per month profit for the p^st five months from their flocks and any farmer knows that money com ing in at this rate comes in mighty handy ardund the farm. Records secured , by the Clemson Poultry Division show that an aver age cost of 16.6 cents per dozen was the figure on March egg produc tion among 196 flocks in the state from which reports were received, and that these eggs were sold at an average price of 26.1 cents per doz en, showing that there is a margin of profit even in low priced eggs. t*l REHOBOTR NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Mr. Wat^’ mother and sister, also M*?'
