REMINISCENT MOOD
Jack and the Beanstalk" Giant
Describes How Ho Embar
rassed a Railroad
' By the Photoplay Editor
' Do Wolf Hopper's larnetatlons about tho
famed sacred elephant of Slam In tho -comic
opera dajs of "Wang" have almost a paral
lel In tho predicament William Fox, the
producer, found himself with big Jim Tar
ver, U) giant In "Jack and Tho Beanstalk"
"on his hands." And those who go to sea
thfs production at the Arcadia Theatre will
ee Just what Is meant by this expression.
When Mr. Fox conceived the Idea of the
"Kiddle Features" ho required a giant a
perfect "whaleof man." The far-dlstant
regions of tho'globo were combed beforo
he was Uncovered. And It was In Texas
that Mr, Fox located Tarvcr, tho giant of
"Jack and tho Beanstalk."
j When the giant was "discovered," signed
up and "boxed" for delivery at the Holly
wood studios In California, Mr. Fox felt
constrained hum Hopper's famous song,
for he found himself in a quandry. Tarvcr
Is eight feet six Inches In height. He
weighs in the neighborhood of 480 pounds,
and his dimensions are l;i proportion.
"No ordinary Pullman car would sufllce to
carry me," .said Toner, who takes delight
In recounting tne consternation inai iuceu
the Fox forces when they saw what an Im
mense man he Is. "There was nothing else
to do but to improvise a traveling home for
me, for my contract called for transporta
tion and keep.- And this was done out of
the largest box car they could persuade the
railroad to furnish. Windows were cut in
the sides of the car to ermt me to read
whllo enjoying tho passing scenery. The
furnishings were necessarily plain. The
bed was built , with special springs, as
box car springs are not usually very sup
pie. Three mattresses were stretched side
by side, with linen and comfortables to
match. Chairs of Bpcclal design were pro
vided. The railroad never stored a quan
tity of provisions, tjutthey underestimated
my capacity, for they had to make three
separate stops for more food during tho
Journey overland.
"Moving pictures Is a new stunt for me,"
continued Tarver. "When I was twelve
years old I started out to be a cowboyi
I was then six feet tall, but I grew and
grew, until I became so large that I wore
out all the Texan horses. My great bulk
was too much for even the heaviest animals,
and when my feet began to touch the
ground I gave up the comboy life in despair.
"My chest, normal measurement, Is 60 V4
Inches, with an expansion of eight Inches.
When I stretch out my arms they measure
eight feet three InGhes from 'tip to tip.'
One of my favorite tricks is to tand up
right, with one arm pointed high above my
hi.id, holding In my ringers a gold ring.
J will give this ring to any normal man
Who, standing on a chair, Is able to reach It.
My waist has a circumference of 73
Inches and 1 wear all hat.

"Hold!" he cried. In a great olce as

Ho paused, as If listening to a distant
voice from the angels.
"I hear tho message," he cried, Joyfully,
"Our son Is once more with us."
Jesse went to Jether nnd looked nt him
kindly, as nil present showed their approval
all except Gaal, who stood aloof.
"My son," continued the patriarch, 'Thou
has sinned grbatly nnd thou hast suffered
greatly. Hut If thou linst known God's
wrath and still hasr found peace, no man
on earth shall take It from thee. It Is thy
greater portion. Look Into mine eyes that

Jether gazed Into thoso kindly eyes, and
fell Into Ills father's embrace.

"Thou shalt como Into my houso again.

Jether, dazed and yet happy.
"Thou shalt not leave homo again. Thou
must have given proof of thlno atonement
Thy curse hath passed from thee "
"At last oh, my father, thy words put
new strength Into me "
"Call all the neighbors," continued Jesse,
raising his voice and directing servants to
scatter over the countryside. "In the house
