Her third marriage was in London

announced at that time that Nordica
would retire from the stage. but after
a honeymoon spent in part at the
old Norton homestead in Maine, she
decided upon farewell concert tour
of the world. 1t was while making
one leg of this trip on the Dutch
steamer Tasman that the vessel ran
ashore on Thursday Island in the

that she had made S12S,00O during

Owing to the large number of new
motion picture theaters which are be-
Ing opened throughout the country.

en- of today. new profession, name
". that of writing moving picture

sibilities in this work. One man,
who gave the idea a tryout, writes
that he earned $500 in six months.
1t is possible for an intelligent per-
son to meet with equal success.
One feature of the business which
should appeal to everyone, is that the
work may be done at home in spare
time. No literary ability is required
and women have as great an oppor-
tunity as men. Ideas for plots. are
constantly turning up. and may be
put in scenearfo form and sold for a
