PICTURE SHOWS
REAP HARVEST
Jules Clerfayt Fain Would
See Himself AS the
Camera Saw Him

regular patron of all moving pic
- ture shows in the city. Since one
day a week ago, when he promised
Charley Miles that he would behave
himself, and a moving picture machine
on the top of a Powell street car
caught him in the act, Jules has been
anxious to see just what he looked
like.
Clerfayt did not believe at first that
he had been caught, but the testimony
of the railroadmen in Powell street,
who witnessed the performance and
saw the machine, has convinced him
that he was caught. Those nickel
odeons in the vicinity of the Flood
building are reaping a daily harvest
from Jules. In the evening he attends
the moving picture shows in the outly-
ing districts.
