The New Fable of the Galumptious
Girl Who Tried to Start Some
thing and Did.

Once there was a kittenish Senorita
condemned to dwell in a Piccolo Town
out on Spur Division of the Dinkus-
Vile Short Line.
1t was one of those not-dead-but-
sleeping Settlements with a Sheet
iron Cornice on every Store Building
and the Hack in which Gen. Sherman
once rode still meeting the Trains.
All the other Residents were sitting
back on their Surplus trying to hatch
out per cent. Anyone suggesting a
Public Improvement was led into
Court House Square and publicly Be-
headed.
A Girl with real Jamaica Ginger
coursing through her Arteries did not
have Look-In so long as she was
hung up at this Whistling Post, where
every Meeting of the Research Club
was a Poultry Exhibit and the local
Astor played a Brown Derby in con-
junction with the extreme Soup and
Fish.
So the Senorita, by name Madeleine,
used to burst into Tears every time
she saw train pulling away from
the Depot, for she certainly had laid
the Soubrette's Curse on Home Sweet
Home
She had read those large explosive
articles in the Family Department of
the Sunday Paper telling how the
Smart Set hang by their Toes from
Chandeliers and jump into Public
Fountains and she painted for the wild
free life of the Idle Rich.

of service, on any of the scenario
stats. Forty-five of his stories have
been released. Flies picturesque ca
reer carries him from a ranch near
Las Vegas, Mexico, seven years ago,
through a half score of vocations to
finally wind up in newspaper work,
from which the next step was the
hotoplaywright work. Flies best bet
is writing scenarios around locations
and characters, having supplied the
material for Director Barry O'Neil,
while he was taking pictures on the
seacoast of Maine last summer, and
a number of the photoplays produced
by Col. Joseph Smiley, in which Smi-
ley and Justina Huff played the lead
ing roles; also provided Arthur John
son with a number of Johnsonesque
stories, as well as for Director John

Its Direct Action.

talks as 1t sweeps Its way through the cir
culation. Its action is SO direct that very
often in some forms Of skin affection the
appearance of the eruptions changes over
night, the itch and redness are gone and
recovery begins Immediately.
As a matter of fact, there Is one ingredi-
ent In S. S. s. which serves the active pur-
pose Of stimulating each cellular part of
the body to the healthy and judicious selec-
tion of its own essential nutriment That
is why 1t regenerates the blood supply why
1t has such a tremendous influence in over

Affections
And In regeneratng the tissues s. s. s..
has a rapid and positive antldotal effect
upon all those irritating influences that
cause rheumatism, sore throat, weak eyes,
loss Of weight, thin, pale cheeks, and that
WEAKNESS of muscle and nerve that is gen.
orally experienced as spring fever. Get a

In African JunqIes.

The African jungles seem to be the
field Of operation for many motion
picture producers at the present time
the object being to photograph the
wild beasts In their lair and build
the story of the play around the many
incidents. Producers have concluded
that more thrilling effect can be pro-
duced by the pictures when they Wis
ualize the animals as innocent partici-
pants in the plays instead of training
them to appear as prescribed by the
scenario. The latest announcement
made OF wild animal picture comes
from George Kleine. stating that
the Italian manufacturers have com.
pleted big wild animal picture In
central Africa, using the jungle beasts
instead of trained animals. This com

LIFE STORY TEACHES LESSON
Al Jennings, Former Bandit. Believes
Good Win Come of Reproducing
His Deeds on Screen.

Al, ]. Jennings, former train rob-
Der and convict, whose life constitutes
probably the most remarkable of hui
man documents, believes he is ac-
oompllshing great good by having
his former deeds of outlawry shown in
moving pictures.
When 1t was first proposed to put
Beating Back, the Saturday Evening
Post story of my life into pictures,

some friends at the Players Club.

myself or rather permitting my friend,

criticism will come. 1t win be harsh
and humiliating but | must endure it..
After a man has paid his debt and the

ishment, he should have a chance In

AS things stand at present, this is

criticism and devote my energies to
making lighter the load OF those 5000
men, who every year are turned out

MAKE ARTIFICIAL SAPPHlRES
Stones Have All the Properties, Chem
leal, Physical and Optical, of
the Genuine Gems.

News comes from Paris that at last
artificial sapphires have been pro-
iueed, after many unsuccessful ex-
periments.
Artificial rubies are now an old
story. The artificial stones have all
the properties, chemical. physical and
optical, of the natural gems The
only way in which experts can detect
them Is by finding them too perfect,
as the natural gems have microscopic
Irregularities and inclosed imperfec-
lions that are absent from the arti-
fetal product
The stumbling block in the making
Of sapphires has been the color. Eth
er the experimenters could not pro-
duce desired blue, or the stone would
have crystalline structure that made
It's detection easy,
Now, however, M. Nerneuil has sub
mitted to the academy of sciences
stones which he has made. colored
with oxide of titanium, which, after n
severe examination, are pronounced
Identical with true sapphires, though
1t is just possible that cutting them
In gem form may reveal some irregu-
larity of reelection or refraction.

Electricity and Trees.

Prof. H. w. Spang has been investi-
eating the decay and death of many
noble shade trees in Brooklyn, N. Y,
and has discovered that electricity es-
Gaping from trolley and other wires
and entering the earth has killed the
roots of scores of trees. Yes-this is
a curious condition when 1t is remem-
bered that in some places gardeners
electrify the soil to stimulate growth.
In some cases in Brooklyn, according
to Mr.. Spang, trees have been killed
by overhead wires running among
their branches. Yet it is true that in
many other places such wires do not
appear to have done any harm. The
explanation? Oh, it may be that in
Brooklyn the quantity Of electricity
reaching the trees is too great and
thus instead of being stimulated the
trees are injured. 1t is matter which
must vary in localities, you know

When Land Was cheap.

Before the railroads had penetrated
South Florida, land was very cheap,
and passed from one to another for
mere song, as the saying Is. At
one time an old Florida cracker went
before a notary to make an affidavit,
and after the paper had been prepared
asked what the fee was.
"Oh, about a quarter" replied the
notary indifferently.
my gracious! amt that purity
steep?" asked the cracker.

ally we get half"
The cracker went away, and the
next day returned with a deed to a
quarter section. He handed 1t to
the notary who read it over care
fully.
Il meant twenty-five cents" said
he, passing the deed back to the
cracker.-Judge.

Iceman Becomes Villain.

George Field, who plays the villain
in many films, was at one time con.
nected with a Chicago ice company
and his friends insist that he acquired
his persuasive manner, which he often
exercises over the heroine In the pho
toplays, by arguing with his custom
ers, who insisted that they did not re-
ceive full value for their money. AT
ter entering the theatrical field this
screen actor played with Montgomery
and Stone. Following this engage
ment he played in stock and then en-
tered the movies. Field is now en-
gagged as Heine in the "Heine-Katrina"
series.

EDITORIALS IN FILMS
PATRONS WILLING TO BE TAUGHT
BY WAY OF SCREEN.
Pictures That Tell Story Solely for
the Purpose Of Driving Homo a
Moral Are at Present Much
Too Scarce.

The motion picture has adopted
many guises in its search for the
blinking dimes. 1t has robbed the
stage of its plays and idols. furnished
an efficient tool to the teachers of
geography and natural history, out
slapsticked the comic supplements in
the animated cartoons, and run the
news columns close race for interest
with its news pictorials. 1t now re-
mains for the newest type of picture
to be taken up more universally, and
the editorial writer will be able to see
a rival on the screen. Pictures tell
ing story solely for the purpose of
driving home a certain moral are at
present scarce, but there Is every in
dication that they will become more
and more popular. for the picture pa
tron has been found perfectly willing
to be taught lesson by way of the
screen. The American Bankers as
sociation, the National Safety-First
societies, and the crusaders for fire
prevention are among the organiza-
lions who have found these film edi-
torials" most useful.
Just as there we're sermons in
stones" long time ago, so there were
editorials in films" back In the early
days of pictures, but the helter-skel-
ter march of progress in new art
drove along other avenues and the
film editorial was allowed to Ian
guish. David w. Griffith was prob
ably the first to produce pictures of
this type and 1t was Frank Woods,

production were in thousand foot
lengths and told "The Story of
Wheat "The Story of Coal" and SO
on with many other industries. The
reels all followed the same general
tone of treatment, and The Story of
Wheat" may be taken as an example.
This tale opened on western plains,
with scenes of the harvest in the
wheat fields of Kansas. Then to the
mills, and on to the bake-shops Of the
cities and into the homes of rich and
poor the camera followed from the
yellow kernel to the loaf of bread
All this was interesting enough but 1t
was mainly intended as sugar-coating.
the producers moral was reserved for
the last With a swirl the scenes
swung to the wheat pit, and an at
tempt to corner the market. The les
son was driven home in the contrast
between the idyllic beauty of the
early views and the greed and strife
Of the f1nanciers, followed by the uni
versal suffering attendant upon sue
cessful corner. 1t was film editorial
with punch"
II liked to work on those pictures"
said Mr.. Griffith to a writer In the
Dramatic Mirror, land some day
hope to get back to them and do
some really big things, for think that
some of the greatest work of the mo-
ton picture is to be done along those
lines. Think of the value of motion
pictures of this kind to a political
party with a big issue before the
voters. The perfect motion picture
editorial will take its place in the
making of history along with the
press and stage"
