because the two stock companies
now doing business in Washington
arc far above the aVeS1ge in every
detail of production and direction, as
well as artistic merit. But in other
cities such a high standard is not
maintained d. Something of the gen
been suggested is seen in the produC-
ton here two weeks ago Of Office
500 BY stock company. This play
was never produced IN Washington
by 4 road company, although II had
a tremendous success for two years.
Just why II never reached the Ma
ton Capital no one seems to under
stand. But it didn't.
The adoption of this system, o has
been suggested. would leave a very
wide and very important field TO the
photoplay. 1t would be the biggest
general form of amusement. in that
K would deal with what might he
called both productions and stock-as
the t%o forms of entertainment are
known in the profession. With the
big people Of the phOtoplay business
producing regular programs of both
shorter and feature subjects. the
needs of every class of amusement
lover would be cared for and the
business put on rnuc.l higher basis
than IT is now.
These suggestions may be entirely

they seem to so a long way toward

Tom Tabby just as Fannie
Kinks was about to swing
him. But 1t doesn't look a
thing like either one Of them fifteen
minutes later. .-..
Now, Tom said Grandmother
Tabby before he started out of
doors, you remember that your
mother sent you here so that YOU
could rest and be quiet after the
measles. Fannie Hicks is very
nice little PUPPY girl. and will not
play roughly"
Who wants to be rough?" replied
Tom with a grin that Grandmother
see that taking swing would do
any harm
Grandmother Tabby patted him on
the head. "It Will not do any harm
my dear" she replied. IF you do
not swing too long. nor too high.
Take turns with Fannie and do not
make her swing you all of the
time
Tom grabbed up his hat and hur-
ricd out banging the door behind
Fannie Hicks was just little timid
at first.
Now don't swing me too high"
she cautioned as she climbed IN
the swing. II don't like to swing
very high or very long at time"
Tom waited very patiently while
she climbed into the swing, and
patted her skirts down and smooth
ed her hair out of her eyes.
Finally she said. ''All ready" and
Tom began to swing her ever so
gently. He would just tap the
swing when II came back against
his paw, and did not try to push il
so hard that he could run under it
not at first. He did not want to
frighten Fannie so that she would
want to get out.
Poor Fannie, She really trusted
Tom.
Swing me a little higher and q
little faster." she asked-and that
was just what naughty Tom was
waiting for. He began to push
