Harry Morey, one of the leading men
OF the Vitagraph Stock Company. is a
lover of oysters. Although there Is no
known way of cooking the luscious BIZ
valves that does not make appeal to Mr..
Morey's palate, he favors them on the
half shell and prefers to open them him

years ago, Mr. Morley and a company of
Vttagraphers had been working on a pic
ture in one of the smaller nearby New
Jersey towns and were on their way to
the depot on the home trip, when Mr..
Morey spilled a deep wire basket filled
to the top with oysters and surrounded
by cake of ice, in the window OF an eat
ing house. 1t was an attraction Mr.. Morey
could not resist.
"How much a dozen?" he inquired OF
the young man who came to seek his re-
quirements, pointing to the oysters.
"WellI seed you perform today, an

have the laugh on the Vitagraph player.

clerk and bowed himself out.
"How many oysters did you get away |
with, Mr.. Morey3' inquired one of his |
when l was leaving the restaurant |
heard the proprietor demanding 81 from
the village cut-up for the oysters I con- |
sumed. so figure 1t out yourself"
