breath as Mr.. Harrington seated himself
near the screen. His sur
prise can hardly be expressed when he
saw himself and a party of friends fig
uring in a mob scene just in front of
his nose. The announcement was slow
coming, but Mr.. harrington finally re-

a moving picture actor for
4 few moments. Last fall moving pic
