Fame sometimes is represented by
the name on the cigar box. This sort
of fame came to Dick Ferris years ago
He wasn't so much of a sybarite then
as he is now and he really used to
smoke those cigars Then came the
ferris waist--it's still advertised, be-
lieve, though l haven't been subsidized
to mention ii here--and the Ferris
wheel, of which a young woman visitor
to the st. Louis exposition wrote back
home to a friend: Each passenger is
given two revolutions during which
many curious things are to be seem"
Now comes the Ferris stock, which
q local haberdasher is preparing to put
upon the market. OF course the par
ticular appropriateness of this desig-
nation will be evident at glance.

All of which goes to show that being a
leading woman sometimes has it's disad-
vantages.
With the approach of the holiday
season the local theaters are suffering
diminution in patronage. 1t always
is so each year, and the small attend
ance in most of the playhouses last
week is no more to be attributed to the
financial situation than it is to the
blizzard which harassed Philadelphia.
Each of the theaters showed falling
off in patronage with the exception OF
the Auditorium, which did fairly well
through the week and which turned
people away Thanksgiving matinee and
night. Even "The Lion and the Mouse"
at the Mason, with an admirable cast
played for the most part to an enthus-
iastic array of plush chairs, while at
the Grand that old standby Arizona

lasco has had things pretty much Its
own way, so far as securing plays was
concerned. Recently, however, the
situation has changed somewhat. This
week, for instance, the Burbank pre-

stock and a play in which Ethel Bar

Moreover the Burbank has other nov

Ferris next week will offer "The Sign

in tying up by contracts number of
highly desirable plays. which he will

OBSERVATIONS BY
A FIRST NIGHTER

n LIVER MOROSCo has completed
the first act of a new society
~ drama to be called 1.-The Society
Pilot" and has completed also the
skeleton of the entire play. From now
on he expects to give practically his
entire attention to this work, with a
view to presenting the play at the
Burbank some time within the next
three weeks.
without telling the story, it may be
said that the central figure Is not n
woman, as the title might lead you to
expect, but a man; a cotillion leader,
perhaps of the Ward McAllister type
and perhaps not. 1t may be that this
social pilot" Is also a social parasite.
You never can tell from the title of
Morosco's plays. The Halfbreed," for
instance, though he gave title to the
drama in which he was a figure, was
not the hero of the story but it's villain.
Once The Social Pilot" is written
and produced Mr.. Morosco expects to
resume work. now Interrupted. upon

1t was said that he had come here to
make arrangements for the building of

new Orpheum theater. That was
nuts for the real estate men and they
proceeded to get busy. The first card
was delivered to Mr.. Meyerfelt in his
bed; the second, third and fourth
reached him in his bath tub. The next
half dozen shared his attention with
the matutinal eggs. coffee, toast and
flapjacks. After that they came so
fast that the vaudeville dictator lost
count and his temper at about the
same time.
He determined to take a long auto
ride In the hope of escaping the dirt
dealers On his way to the elevator he
was hailed by two men with lots to
SELL AS the trio descended to the first
floor two more agents passed them In
the other car on their way UP to the
Meyerfelt apartments Others thronged
the lobby. Outside still another was
talking confidentially to the Meyerfelt
chauffeur.
At last start was made for Ocean
Park and safety. But someone tipped
off the arrival over the phone. and
avenue Mr.. Meyerfelt was approached
by a dapper individual who extended
a card and remarked pleasantly:
II understand, Mr.. Meyerfelt. that
you are looking for site in Los An
Eeles on which to build a theater.
Now I should like"
He got no farther. The automobile
disappeared cityward in a cloud of
dust Later at the Nexandria Mr.
Meyerfelt dictated a statement in
which he said that the present Or

The Eye of the Crook.

Now, you may or may not know it,
but the confidence man of tiptop at
tainments cultivates the control and
expression Of his features with as
much care as does the professional
beauty-this for the reason that his
looks are among his most valuable as
sets. For the first stage in turning
trick" whether this be done in Il
Broadway hotel or downtown office
building, is for the operator to get a
hold on the confidence of his victim by
impressing him with his (the former's)
frankness and honesty through the me-
dunn Of his steady gaze, CHEEKY smile
and sincerity of expression in general.
But "wise" people are not taken in
by these things. Apart from all else
those who have had much to do with
criminals-whether mugged or unmug-
ged-will tell you that there is such Il
thing as the "crook eye which in
variably gives its owner away. 1t is,
as once heard'a clever detective put
it, IAN eye behind the eye'-a some
thing sinister peeping out from the
bland and childlike gaze which the

The Twinklinu Of a Star,

The twinkling of a star has never
been explained to the satisfaction of all
investigators, but it is generally be-
lieyed to be due to controlling causes
within the earth's atmosphere. That
the cause may be looked for within the
belt of air that surrounds our planet
Ito particles of vapor, dust, etc.l may
be inferred from the fact that the
planets never exhibit the characteristic
twinkling so noticeable in the star.
One reason for this is the size (appar-
ent) Of the planets, each Of which shows
Il sensible disk, even to the naked eye.
while the strongest instrument in the
world only shows the stars as being
mere points of light. This being the
ease, any foreign substance in the at
lnosphere would mon,entarily hide tue
light and make the star appear to
