Scared Tabby Does the
High Dive at Luna Park

Hundreds of merrymakers at Luna
Park, which has its formal opening Of
the season this afternoon, last night
witnessed a spectacular jump from a
dizzy height made by a large gray cat
that had strayed into the grounds and
had become panicstricken in the glare
of the electric lights.
The animal had dashed through the
cars Of the aerial swing and bounded
up the pole around which the cars re-
volve, to its peak, a distance of more
than a hundred feet from the ground
1t was plainly seen in the bright illumi-
nation of the park as it perched on the
very top Of the pole, and it was also
very plainly heard, for it's feline voice
was raised in frantic 'meows." Finally,
the terror stricken animal jumped. turn
ing over several times in it's wild flight
Catlike. it landed upon it's feet unhurt,
but somewhat dazed. Several sympa-
thetic young women made efforts to
catch it, but before they reached it the
cat scurried through the crowd and
dashed into the woods near by. The
opinion of the crowd was that that cat
would not come back"

Carrie Thatcher'S Blonde
Hair Proves to Be Wig

No! Carrie Thatcher has not bleached
her hair, and the admirers of auburn
locks may rest content that they will
see her this very week cast aside the
blond wig she appeared in when the
Columbia Players presented "Forty-five
Minutes From Broadway" She will be
seen as Betty Bates in ''Strongheart, -
with all the luxurious growth that
might make her the envy of the Seven
Switzerland Sisters. Miss Thatcher,
who is now in the second season of her
engagement with the Columbia Players,
has received many protestations be-
cause she has ''tampered with the Slo-
Iious growth Of hair that nature has
given her."
BY some its color is termed red, but
that's neither here nor there. for what
should greet the surprised eyes of Co.
lumbia patrons last Monday evening,
when she made her entrance in Forty
five Minutes From Broadway" but a
couture as straw-colored as the stalks
of rye that had been exposed to the sun
for a week. Many consulted their pro-
grams, only to be reassureI that 1t
really was Miss Thatcher.
