OFFICIALS In

BUDGETS

The energetic efforts of Fin
ance Commissioner Freeland TO
force showdown on the part or
commissioners on budget expen-
ditures is having an effect and all
kept within their appropriations
for January, excepting Mayor
Seymour, his expenditures run
ming over on account of paying
up old bills on the contagious
hospital.
Freeland has been insisting
that the commissioners keep an
eye on the budget to see what
they were allowed and then cut
below it. Woods got under his
for January 500. Mills has S4,-
56S to his credit; Freeland has
$1,235 left. The mayor ran
about 500 too much. Nick Law

said, "but 1 guess it's some
money, too.
August laughed god naturally,
and then almost upset my mental
equilibrium by announcing that
cowboy parts" were his favorite.
But you came from NEW
YORK, Mr.. August. And you
have only been out west little
whiley And l always understood
cowboy parts, in which there is
the real western flavor, were
played by the genuine cowboy
hired for that purpose?"
"We-l-ll,'' drawled my friend,
flicking a dust speck off his coat
sleeve, that's true in part. It's
a fact that many 'dyed-in-the-
wool cowboys are employed for
the western pictures. But when
al producer finds REAL ACTOR
who can get the spirit and look
the part, down to the smallest de-
TAIL, be is glad to have the actor
and the cowboy combined in one,
you ssee."
!. August has spent days riding
and talking and living with the
cowboys. He's got 'em down pat,
to the tiniest detail, even to the
deft rolling of a cigaret. And
that's a real test.
Among Augustus picture sue
cesses are The Smile of Child
THE Blot on the Escutcheon,
1.-The Golden Supper" 1.-The
Fugitive" military picture
Conscience" a third degree
photo play, and Their Mutual
Friend" The last of these is one
of his own writing.

Expert.
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 10.
The "care-not" cowboy, with
his nonchalant manner and pic
turesque garb, is still the most
fascinating study of the west.
His silver mounted chaps,
beaded west" soft open-throat
shirt and SLOUGH sombrero are all
part of the picture which he
makes of the happy-go-lucky, go
as-you-please wild west days.
To study the indescribable
something which SENS to tinge
his whole makeup is one thing.
To be able to initiate it correctly
is quite another.
Edwin August, the star of the
Powers moving picture players,
has caught this subtle western
spirit perfectly, and reproduced
the native character in almost
faultless detail, although he is a
New York actor whose sojourn in
the west may still be counted by
the months. Look at him in his
cowboy attire and judge for your
self.
This is the way he appears in
con the Burning Sands" a new
Powers western picture pro-
duced in California. 1t is two
reel play which he wrote. He
told me it is to be the first of a
series of cowboy pictures in
which he will play the chief role.
"This life is PICTURES, PIC
TURES, PICTURES, morning,
noon and night" he said when l
accidentally ran into him on the
steps of the Hollywood studio of
the Universal Film company,
near Los Angeles. "The life of a
moving picture actor is all work
and no glory, believe mel"
"Yes?" l answered, with ris-
ing infection, as l took a bird s.
eye view of his dapper appear
ance and noted the well-cut suit,
patent shoes and jaunty hat upon
