King Peters Paris Attic

from the westminster 1dHette
There is today in Paris concierge who
is reaping a small harvest of tips from
visitors TO an attic which a quarter of a
century ago was tenanted by no less a
pensonage than the present King of Ser
via in the less palmy days of his preten-
dership. The agreement can also be seen
by which Peter Karageorgevich hired the
attic for the annual rental of 7Se francs,
which was really rather exorbitant, con-
sidering the neighborhood in which this
erstwhile abode of royalty is situated.
The concierge has been offered large sums
of money for the agreement which con-
tains King Peters autograph, but he re-
fuses TO part with such a valuable source
of income

Separation of Juice and Fruit

"In preserving fruit find that the juice
remains at the bottom, forcing the fruit
to the top of the jar. If. you could IN
form me as to the cause of this you would
greatly oblige. L. G.
If the fruit and sugar are well blended
and properly cooked together the syrup
and fruit should not separate This often
happens with canned fruits, where little
sugar is used. Try reversing the jars
every week. After standing on their
heads for few days the fruit rises, and
a turn of the jar makes it change its
place again. BY this means the contents
of the jar are thoroughly mixed in time,

"Our work differs essentially from the
legitimate drama" Miss Boyle told me,
owing to the swiftness with which new
pictures must be produced, which ire
cludes the players from having much OPP
portunity of studying their parts The
moving picture show is the wordless
drama in a measure, since we have no
lines to commit to memory. as the plays
are all written in scenarios, which gives
the story briefly, the scenes and the inn
portant stage business"
THE director is very important mem-
ber of the caste, isn't he?" / asked inter-
estedly.
THE most important" said Miss Boyle,
After he has taken us through the re-
hearsals and he is satisfied with our
work, we appear before the camera. The
director takes his place and when he
says All right, this is the picture, which
in camera parlance means camera man,
get busy and actors do your best. we
know that the show is on and We are act
ing for hundreds of thousands of people,
who will see us sooner or later"
Another thing" said Miss Boyle, you
see while the legitimate actress has her
big stage TO act tzupon, the photo player
is narrowed down to about five feet of
stage, to enact the most daring and dra-
matte scenes upon"
"What roles do you like best?' ! asked,
Dramatic Observation-Disclosures and
comedy'-said she attractively. and the
heroine of the western romances appeals
to me strongly, too"
''IIow did you happen to choose the
movies as vehicle for your talent?' |
inquired.
Largely through Miss Alice Joyce, who
is known and admired by everybody who
has ever seen a Kalem picture said
Miss Boyle. "She is beautiful woman

her that I couldn't resist the opportunity
when il came to me. Another friend

Mary Pickford, who has recently deserted
ranks for a Belasco career. 1t was rather
an odd coincidence how Mr. Belaseo
found her He dropped into a moving pic

play The Good Little Devil, and she
suited him exactly, and with the usual

secure her. which he did, and before she
knew it she was signed for Juliet-Mas-

Hastings Has Freak Bridge


The people of Hastings, Mimi, are now
Dragging that they have the most re-
ms rkable freak bridge in the country.
A person travelling over this bridge hard
ly knows whether he is going or COM
ing, for the approach on one side makes a
complete turn, The ground on this side
of the river is low and the incline was
made more gradual by giving the ap-
proach this curious spiral design.
The bridge crosses the Mississippi and
the span over the river is 800 feet long.
The entire length of the structure, includ-
ing both approaches, is 230O feet. The
grounds underneath the spiral approach
have been laid out as a beautiful park.
