see a hell which consists Of pain OF a
spiritual nature, such as shame, re-

one, and the holy life and heavenly

John Bunny's Face

John Bunny's face is at once his for tune and his misfortune. It has estab- lished him as one of the highest salaried actors in the world and at the same time has made him so easily recognizable that Broadway restaurant the diners stop din- ing long enough to wave a chlautauqua salute. If he goes to a prize fight or ball game the fans stand and cheer his entrance. If he walks down the street crowd follows and congests traffic.
 It seems scarcely necessary to state that John Bunny is the funny little fat man who falls out of airships and tum- bles off skyscrapers in the movies. since 1t is estimated that more than seven million people in the United States and between fifteen and twenty million in the world attend the movies daily and most of these at sometime or other have laughed at Bunnys antics.
 When Mir Bunny had been acting for the films only year and a half he went abroad to be photographed in photo- plays with foreign backgrounds. His trip proved triumphal tour from the mo- ment he mounted the gangplank At every station at which the boat train to London stopped the loungers recognized him im- medately~he stepped dron the platform. In London, whenever he walked upon the Strand or in Ludgate circus he was given a young ovation. Tn Paris. Berlin and St. Petersburg the cry, There goes Bunlly'' in as many respective languages always greeted his appearance in public
