Marie Wainwright and Sol Russell.
His association with the latter star
gave him that sympathy and under
standing of character which mark his
work on the screen today.
Five years ago Mr.. Johnson was
led to enter the motion picture field
chiefly because OF the summer lul
in his engagements, and he immedi-
ately established himself as a bio
graph favorite. After absorbing all
the details of his new work, and hav-
ing learned the difficulties of acting
before the camera, he accepted an Of
fer made by one of the leading COM
panies, with whom he remained for
some time. Then Mr.. Lubin made
johnson an offer, and for three years
he has been enlisted under his ban
ner. For the past year he has direct
ed the photo plays in which he plays
the leading roles.

Short-Lived Popularity.

Wonderful activity is now displayed
in the motion picture productions, es-
pecially those in which feature films
are concerned, but the life Of the pic
ture is short as compared with the
play of the Legitimate"
The film lives, at the longest, not
over seven months, while with the
drama a play endures- s-that is, If it
is a success-for years and years, and
it is always open to the possibility of
a revival
Characters like the principal ones
in "The Music Master and the i'm
mortal rip Van Winkle" are SO close
ly interviewer with the history of the
drama that they become, as it were,
figures of speech, and will endure as
long as the English language itself.
But how many are there who can re-
member, after a month has passed,
the name Of any character in a big
motion picture play?

OLD ENEMIES MEET
Film Brought Together Ex-Con-
federate and Federal.
After Fifty-one Years They Have Op-
portunity to Exchange Reminis-
oences at Outdoor Studio
AZ Los Angeles, Cal.

SFffty-One years ago, or in 1863,
Confederate scout lay all day in a
shallow creek watching the Union
lines. A Yankee sentinel watched
him, and was prepared to shoot if the
Confederate moved. A meeting that
wildly brought back the thrilling days
OF the Civil war, and particularly this
ha1r-raising incident, when they were
enemies and fought each other for the
glory of the blue or the gray, occurred
several days ago, when Scout w. H.
Taylor and Sentinel D. R. Crane rec
ogn1zed each other on a mimic battle
field at a film manufacturing com
pany's ranch near Los Angeles, Cal.
At their meeting in that memorable
second year of the war, Taylor, a Con.
federate scout, was following the
Union lines in retreat from Pine Run
Va, after an attempt to reach Rich
mond and defeat by General Lee.
Taylor, seeking information, started to
cross creek, but seeing Union senti
nels on the bank hid all day in the
shallow water, waiting for night He
finally escaped with such information
as he could gather. Crane, sentinel
in the Union army, patrolled the bank
all day, waiting for sight of and a
shot at the scout.
At the recent meeting the two vet
erans went over the details Of the day
and the battles that followed. Both
man were weary epd SIN hurnod. thew
had been living over again some of
the battles they had been in years be-
fore. These battles were to be part
Of one of the great photo play war
dramas. And the surprising feature
Of the meeting was that it was not
the first mimic battle they had been
in; both had been working for the
same company for II months and had
never met.

Rheumatic Throat
Is Common Trouble
Should Be Treated in Blood
To Prevent Recurrence.

There are successful gargles that stop
soreness in the throat, but to prevent their
ncessant return, the blood must be put in
order. The best remedy is S. S. S., as 1t
influences all the functions of the body to
neutralize the irritants or waste products
and to stimulate their excretion through
the proper channels.
Rheumatic sore throat is a dangerous
Indication, as it means that the blood Is
loaded with more uric acid than the kid
neys can eXcrete, and may thus lead to
serious general disturbance.
The action Of S. s. S. stimulates cellular
activity. 1t prevents the accumulation OF
irritants in local spots 1t enables the
arteries to supply quickly the new red
blood to replace wOrn-out tissue.
For this reason uric acid that finds the
throat an easy prey to it's breaking-down
influence, is scattered and eliminated. In
other words, S. S. S. prevents chronic con-
ditions by enabling all the mucous Innings
of the body to secrete healthy mucus. It's
influence is shown in a marked improve
ment of the bronchial tubes whereby the
huskiness of voice with thick, grayish eX-
pectorations is overcome s. s: s., well
diluted with water, means blood bath,
since it is welcome to any stomach and at
once gets into the blood.
S. S. S. is free of all minerals and con-
tains ingredients wonderfully conducive to
well-balanced health.
You can get it at any drug store, but do
not accept anything else. There is danger
in substitutes. S. S. S. is prepared only by

"LIttIest Rebel" Popular.

No photoplay this season has
caught the public fancy more quickly
than ''The Littlest Rebel" the Edward
Peple play.
The attendance has increased by
leaps and bounds daily, probably be-
cause Of the war spirit resulting from
the interest in the war clouds which
are engulfing the European nations.
The picture, which depicts the thrill
ing story of the struggle between the
armies of the North and South, is in
terwoven with story Of intense In
terest surrounding the life of Virgie
Carey, the six-year-old daughter of a

The Yankee cringed under the At
tack and then fully agreed with the
Son Of ambitious Albion. He said we
were a new and crude People who did
not know how to wear Evening Clothes
or eat Stilton Cheese and our Politi-
clans were corrupt and Murderers
went unpunished, while the Average
Citizen was a dyspeptic Skate af1ict-

Then he retired to his State Room to
weep over the Situation and the Brit
ish Subject said: "The American Is a
Poltroon, for he will not defend his
own Hearth and Fireside."
A Cooks Tourist from Emporia,
Kansas, dropped into the Vacant
Chair. When the Delegate from The
Rookery, Wormwood Scrubs, Isling, S.
E., resumed his scorching Arraign-
ment Of the y. S. A, he got an aw-
full Rise out of the Boy from the Corn
Belt
The Emporia Man said there were
more Bath Tubs to the Square Mile
out in his Burg than you could find in
the West End of London and more
Paupers and Beggars in one Square
Mile of the East End Of London than
you could find in the whole State Of
Kansas. He said there were fewer
Murders in England because Good Op-
portunities were being overlooked.
He said he could Tip any one in
England except, possibly, the Arch
bishop of Canterbury.
1t was his unbiased Opinion that
London consisted of a vast Swarm of
| melancholy Members Of the Middle
and Lower Glasses of the Animal
Kingdom who ate Sponge Cake with
| Seeds in it, drank Tea, Smoked Pipes
and rode on Buses, and thought they
were Living.
| Standing beneath the ripping folds
of Old Glory the proud Citizen of the
Great Republic declared that we could
wallop Great Britain in any Game
from Polo up to Prize-Fighting and
| if we cut down on the Food Supplies
| the whole blamed Runt Of an under
sized Island would starve to death in
a Week
With quivering Nostrils, he heaped
Scorn and Contumely upon any Race
that would call Pie Tart. In con-
| clusion he expressed Pity for those
who never tasted Com on the Cob.
After he had gone up to the Bridge
Deck to play Switchboard, the Rep
resentative Of the Tightest little Island
on the Map took out his Notebook and
made the following entry: Every
| Beggar living in the States is a
| Bounder and Braggart.'
That evening in the Smoke Room he
began to pull his favorite Specially of
ragging the Yanks on New Yorker,
who interrupted him by saying: Real

try. I spend the Winter in Egypt, the
Spring in London, the Summer in

to Learned Society that the Typical
American had become denatured Ex-
