heart of the West Virginia Mountains,
where some of the mountain folk
are said to live by the rule that might

long the spoils. In the midst OF
these primitive surroundings Ane-
none Breckenridge, a gentle. refined
young girl, accustomed TO ali that
wealth and culture can bestow, who
has been kidnapped by one of the
mountaineers, is suddenly confronted
with life in its most brutal and saw
age form. At first she is appalled, and.
disguised as she sees the souls OF

of ribbon be employed such as pale

On each pincushion, different kinds
of pins could be used, and pretty de-
vice would be to have pins with glass
heads the color of the ribbon used.
These cushions should then be priced
according to the kind Of pin used.
Those with ordinary pins on, of course,
would be marked cheaper than those
with glass or pearl heads.

Epiqrams Of Veteran PLAYER.

Thomas Santschi says that he has
been greatly helped in his career as a
picture actor by the wise advice OF his
friend the late Kyrle Bellew. Some OF
the beloved players epigrams are as
follows:
"Affectation is the chain that binds
the average actor TO IN .diocrity."
Stage tricks are fascinating
weapons with which to fight for public
approval. but they are boomerangs
rather than sure shot rifles"
AN actor OF inferior native talent
will triumph over his clever colleagues
II he develops with more regard for art
than bluff"
Never should an actor convey TO
an audience the suggestion that he is
either looking at himself or listening
TO his own voice with fondest apprecia-
ton"
The actor should carefully discrim-
mate between two attitudes-conce
and dignity-the one is destructive.
the other constructive"

some screen actors who would do we'll
