All things come to him who Waits-long
enough-it is said. Well Tommy Kelly.
Of the c. P. o. bindery has been waiting
for well on to threescore and ten, and
now he is a really and truly actor in
; moving picture play, and good one too
not a piker that has to open the show or
do the closing turn on the programme
but who occupies the center Of the stage
and gets all the best parts. With over
fifty years of service In the ONCE to his
: credit with a reputation as a Wit ana
story teller second to none, a general
favorite with old and young, life's am
bition is now gratified. The moving pic
lures got him from the first, and have
had no more faithful patron than the lit
tie bookbinder. OF course there has been
some exaggeration as TO his fondness for
the pictures-that he spent his entire
leave last year in visiting every place OF
that kind both in Washington and Balti-
more-but that he is delighting his host Of
friends in Washington as a real picture
actor is a fact beyond dispute.
