ment. He had a scheme. I could see that right at the start He also had job. and a good one. He'd located the studio of the American Biograph and Muto- scope company and had jumped into the movie game, or what was destined to be the movie game, with great enthusiasm.
 Now" continued MT. Gilmore, there had been motion pictures, but Clax Will stach had the new idea of posing a straight bit of acting, with a real, regu- lar actor. That was where l entered into the calculations. Would I do it? Yes, 1 would and I did. The next day Wilstach and I went around to the studio and the thing was done. I posed in a comedy sldt called The Bungling Waiter. It was nightly poor when you compare it with motion pictures of today, and it gives me many a laugh when l contrast the methods used then with the ones practiced now.
 Later took a bunch of kids who were playing in the Olcott show and we posed them as part of bona fide sketch. l be- lieve that was the first time real troupe of actors posed for a complete sketch In motion pictures The game then had hardly got beyond the stage of the muto- scope; you'll recall the old mutoscope, the machine that had handle, and if you turned the handle, after first depositing a penny or a nickel, a big bundle of cards
 
 got the impression of motion. It was the start of the moving picture, a succession of photographs that could be made to blend into the semblance of one motion photograph The company also made films however, and I posed for the two varieties, the card pictures of the muto- scope and the films of the biograph.
 "One day In that studio wonderful dis covery was made. It was this: that if you StODDpd the camera. during some action. and then started it again with a change of action, great illusions were possible. We used the idea, the same one that later on was to result in all the fake comic films the films that show house falling down inside of a seconds time, and all those things. But Wilstaeh and I made one error. We didn't tumble to the real pos abilities of the thing. If we had only guessed to cut and paste films, letting the machine run all the time, and later work ing over sections of the film, I wouldn't have to be building an apartment house

, now in New York or doing three shows a day"
 Which rather made you indugs in dreams now and then, l suppose" was suggested.
 Yes, as I said previously" MT. Gil- more replied, my dream is to stage a picture the scenario of which I've writ ten myself and which I believe would be the most wonderful picture ever pro- duced. In the meantime I am still stick ing to romantic roles, and doing a bit Of comedy in vaudevilles which 1 rather like''
 Do you mean always to stay young like MT Harry Woodruff and MT. Henry Dixey?"
 T certainly do. as long as it is possi- ble," MT. Gilmore said rather pleased. AS long as I can resist the temptation to get hair cut and l refuse to have my hair cut even oplease MT. Alan Dale. Am l not brave?'
 More than a matinee idol,' I observed enthusiastically.
 Please don't call me a matinee idol" MT. Gilmore begged.
 "Oh, but you are" I insisted. T may as we'll not call your eyes brown or your hair black Why do you object?"
 T guess it's the ter mand what it inn plies,' he said meekly, "or rather what it has meant in the past that I object to.
 What has it meant?' I inquired.
 "Oh, a fellow who gets mash notes and has affairs with silly stage struck girls. and all that sort of thing he said quickly.
 But the mash notes-dont you think they are rather nicer" l asked
 T always answer them, and whenever 1 am asked for a photograph always send one because think it is the least an ac- tor can do when he has been compli- mented by a request for an autograph or photograph" MT. Gilmore said kind ly." but as a matter of fact there Is less of that sort of thing now than there used to be-
 Dear mel how the times have changed,'' I calculated.
 For the better, don't you think?'' he inquired enthusiastically. People are not as silly as they used to be and besides the movie heroes are the ones nowadays at whose shrine femininity worships and crowns with the title of matinee idol Don't you think so?'

The girl who sacrifices candy, shows, etc., to the worthier object of stamp col- ecting does a good thing for herself and merits the sympathy and encouragement of our junior members of like tastes 1t is no sudden fancy with her, you see.
