Blodgett succeeded in business simply
by being heartless. There was only one
person whose wishes stood above his
willard she was his motherless baby
girl, Helen. Emmet Moore. a clerk,
many years in Blodgett's employ. is dis
charged, merely because he is getting
old-and instead of being able to support
his little grandson. tables are turned, and
the two become dependent upon the PEN
nies the ycungster earns by selling
newspapers. One day, Moore comes into
their shabby quarters to find Larrie feed
ing little girl whom he has come across,
lost in the streets. Moore recognizes
Helen Blodgett. and angrily tells ''the
kid" to get out" His frowns, some
way, and the new tone of voice-for she
has never known anything but kindness
intensely amuse the child, who climbs
into the old mans lap and announces that
she likes him. His rage vanishes-he
cares devotedly for little Helen, while
Larrie is sent to notify her father. When
Glodgett comes, and sees the good turn
his discharged clerk has done him. ne is
stricken with remorse- Moore receives
back his old position-and his employer
assures him that he has life job.

Il Will Repay" is the title of a stirring
two-reel drama, the production of which
has just begun at the "10l Bison" Com

That Jack J. Clark, the gallant and &C.
complished leading man appearing in
Warmers features, with Miss Gene Gaun-
tier, is quite violinist is not generally
known outside of his circle of intimate
friends.
Last fall while in ireland with the Gene
Gauntier feature players, Jack-to para
phrase the pied Piper of Hamlin''-l
bowed every child off the streets of an
Irish village and had them gaping. Open |
mouthed, at his skill in coaxing Irish |
melodies out of his fiddle. |
1t all came about through the staging |
OF a scene in one of the Forthcoming |
Gauntier Irish pictures, to be released |
through Warmers Features, Incorporated. |
The scenario called for a village dance |
: and specified Jack for the fiddlers part. |
He had the actor folk and even the |
children and villagers ranged back of the |
camera doing some lively stepping as
the dance started. Perched on the back |
OF a chair he sawed away for dear life

they make EN-, and proud OF it.
