Many are deeply stirred by the need OF

thing more than general measures, how
ever we'll planned. They recognize in
genuine neighborliness, democratic and
whole hearted. the best service of all.
When, however, the desire to do sons
thing takes the form, as it has in some
places, of starting new and temporary
relief agencies, social workers feel that
effort is duplicated and the situation I'M

POPULAR BEAUTIES

clever little comedy, produced by the
Beauty company in which Joseph Har-
ris and Webster Campbell play oppo-
site each other as a couple of drum
mers who meet two girls across a
lunch counter in little country town.
1t will be In Birmingham in the near
future. Mr.. Harris puts over as he
best can do 1t, the smiling assurance
with which the one drummer goes III
for the girl and the money and the po-
sition, while Mr.. Campbell feelingly
registers the mental conflict which
comes when the other comes face to
face with possible matrimony and fl
nally runs away from it.
Fred Gamble generously makes up
for short appearance in a maudlin
scene where he endeavors to convince
the faltering youth that his downfall
is due to matrimony. Virginia Kirt-
ley is winning as the sweetheart OF the
man who stays.

Work rooms for women were not fea-

have been numerous this year, owing. in
part at least to the fact that war relief
in England had, perforce. to take that
form. In some places, the attempt has
been made to organize an employment
bureau for women in addition to giving
them the help of the work room. Chicago
has been markedly successful in this.

Hanlon Bros, made a fortune from the
play and their original stage settings,

as the English public welcomed the play
whenever it was shown. 1t has received
more mention in popular novels and even
in a few of the classics than, perhaps,
any other play, excepting those of Shake

For the first time 1t now has been pro-

nails that this famous actress had

pany, like flash of lightning from
clear sky came the news that Little
Mary had been engaged by the New
ork Motion Picture corporation at q
salary of $4,000 per week.
Moreover, according to the story,
Adolph Zukor and Adam Kessel. heads
OF the Famous Players company and
The New York Motion Picture corpora
ton, respectively, had actually bid
against each other for her services in
Mr.. Zukor's office.

feeling towards Famous Players Is one
of such loyalty that l must stay with
them. Anything else is unthinkable."
Well. it makes a good story. doesn't
it? And. of course, not a word of it is
true. But there have been persistent
rumors to the effect that Mary Pick

credence to this story At this writing,
however. it has never got farther than
rumor

kor, a pen newly dipped in ink in her
little hand and in the very act of sign

crinkly contract which Mr.. Zukor held
out to her, when suddenly Mr.. Kes-
sci appears.
"Stopi' he shouts. Before you sign
the papers. hear my bid"
How much?" Mary inquiries indif-

'How much did he offer?" Kessel an

"Twenty-one hundred" cries Kesse1
which Adolph promptly answers with,
TWENTY-FIVE hundred"
"Twenty-three hundred"-this from

"Twenty-fou hundred" retorts Zu-

The climax is reached when Kessel
makes the figure $500, and offers
Mary a generous percentage besides.
