Lives of Actors

~ EXTREME and violent efforts at re-
form lead to rash statements.
Facts do not substantiate the re-
marks made by Rev. Mr.. ireland last
Sunday in his sensational attack upon
the people OF the stage and upon the
theater as an institution. The promin-
ence given to what this man said
makes comment unavoidable, although
any notice of this sort carries with 1t
the necessity of apologizing for pos
sible implication that the stage need be
defended from such statements.
To denounce the theater and to say
that drunkenness, free love and the
like are general among stage people
is easy, but hard to prove.
But it was interesting to call the at
tention of Los Angeles actors to these
charges. Most Of them were too actively
engaged to present their views at any
length, but what they did say was gem
orally to the point. The Los Angeles
actors are gathered from all parts of
this country and England and they are
typical.
George Barnum: "Disgustingl Why
advertise the man by noticing him?"

Henry Stockbridge: "Such men do
certainly injure the profession-ot the
ministry"
Richard Vivian: "Honi soft qui NAL y
pense."
Now that the subject of actors lives
has been brought up it may be inter-
esting, all apart from the foregoing, to
take glance at how some of the actors
of Los Angeles are interested outside Of
their work.
Joseph Galbraith is a business man Of
more than ordinary ability. He Is a
stakeholder in several prominent COM
panies and is the owner of much valu-
able real estate, both in Los Angeles
and i'm the east. What brief time he can
command outside of the theater he de-
votes to his hobby of adding to his
bank account. He is unmarried.
George Barnum and his wife have a
beautiful home on Budlong avenue
where the Belasco stage director in
dulges in his favorite recreation of cul-
flower gardens In Los Angeles. His
success in growing a bed of mint, which
is rapidly becoming famous, presents
his chief, If not his only tempetation,
TO indulge In strong drink.
william Desmond has been mar
ried man for many years, his wife who
is clever actress, only now and then
breaking her retirement from the stage.
His chief hobby is athletics, which ac-
counts for the wonderful physical de-
velopment which some of his roles have
shown in him. He does not even know
how to smoke cigarette.
Henry Stockbridge is also married.
For many months his wife played with
great success at the Belasco under the
name of Fannie Yantis. They have
only recently completed the building of
home at Ivanhoe. He is almost a
crank over his collection of Indian
rugs.
d. s. Duffield and his wife. known to
Burbank theater goers as Phoso Nc
Allister, are as far from being Bohem-
ian as though they kept grocery
store. AS far as their work permits
they are regular attendants at the Uni
versity Methodist church.

Its q genuine relief to see q truly ar
tistic drama"
when Knighthood Was in Flower"
Is a marvellous production in many re-
spects. Few plays ever presented in
Los Angeles have proved SO trench
dously attractive and the reason is not
far to seek. The Belasco management
recognized the opportunity which pre-
sented itself in this play and they were
not to be found wanting in ability to
make the most Of 1t.
Here was drama which did not hold
the mirror up to nature but which
had made itself famous despite of that
fact, or perhaps because OF it. 1t is
romance of the sort that in a dull
prosaic existence ones imagination
hungers for.
The Belasco management secured this
play, they have a company including
some of the most artistic players on the
American stage, and then it became
only a question Of proper production.

to borrow money, but it would also
certainly increase the market value OF
all farm property.
In the face of these advantages, 1t
is singular that the TOrrens System

$1,000 from Eight Acres.

4 South Florida pOultryman writes
TO the Farm News an account of what
he has done on Il small place:
After reading the article in your
valuable Farm News paper, for
May. "A Profitable Small Farm" l
i'm Florida would perhaps he interest
ing to some of your many readers.
You speak of this farm of sixty acres
as being small farm. To Florida
farmer, or trucker, that seems to be
a pretty good sized farm. Now, | will
tell your readers what has been sold
from less than eight acres since last
December or in less than six months.
We had about one acre in strawber-
ries. less than one acre in Irish pOta-
toes. less than three acres in miscel-
laneOus truck, viz, beetS, carrots, cab
bageS, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce.
beans. etc. also the sales of eggs from
10 hens are included. The cash sales
from the above in six months time, as
stated. amounted to SS31.1 besides
this three fairly good sized families
used all they wished from the garden,
and one family all the eggs they need
ed There are also 200 chicks growing
The writer and one man did the work,
and also did outside work, enough to
pay for the helper.
We shall probably sell $50 or 5000
of produce more before the season
closes. This is not nearly as well as
good many have done. Some have
cleared $500 and over from one acre
of lettuce and celery: others as much
on cucumbers. beans or stra wberries.
We grow two and three crops a year
from the same land, so we don't have
to have large farm. Florida is a
good place to live.
