The local fans look forward to to-

jackson has been defeating all corners
with ridiculous ease and the fans want
to see how Pensacola will appear
against this aggregation of sluggers.
The Snappers are in hopes of making
a good showing, but with Jackson go

President Wilson. She is one of the
leading actresses of a prominent firm
of moving picture producers and the
celluloid films have flashed her face
from end to end of the country.
The qualities which brought her to
the top of the acting profession have
proved equally attractive to the artist.
Before the movie camera her beauty
vivacity and expressive gestures were
found unusually effective. Before the
artists easel they have proved equal
~ attractive.
She replaces in Part Il number OF
models, all familiar to Americans
through the pen of Harrison Fisher.
OF these, the girl who has stood in
the past as most nearly the original of
the Harrison Fisher girl has been Miss
Catherine Clements, an American girl
of French and Irish parentage. She
has posed for Fisher for the last nine
years commencing when she was
fourteen. The illustrator has made
more drawings of her than of any of
his other models and he has done
some of his best work from her.

New York, April 2o.-The Harrison
Fisher girl known from end to end of
the country through the medium Of
magazine covers and every other form
of popular art, is about to change her
character. No longer is she to be elias
steal and serene of feature. No longer
is she to be seen fun of repose She
is to be dark and vivacious. She Will
BE- discovered in poses of action and
n v iment. She is to become the apos-
tie of feminine activity of the strenu-
Gus life expressed in terms of beautiful
womanhood
This is merely because Harrison
Fisher, the artist who creates the girl,
has acquired a new model. Alice Joyce
is the name of the young woman who
is to work this sudden change in the
Fisher art. She it is whose charac .eT-
istics of face and spirit are to be seen
reflected from periodical covers, post
cards and calendars the country over.
Such a role of prominence comes
natural to her. Her face is almost as
familiar to Americans as is thai If
