That was Dudley's chance. Before
night he had a scenario in mind that
revo1ved around the subject nearest
his heart.

suitors for her hand; one. ardent, I'M

two members of the stock company

Anyway. don't forget to send US down
little sketch once in while
When The Survival" was first w
reeled. the author had an exceedingly
uncomfortable half-hour. It was one
thing to put his thoughts into dra-
matte expression and another to see
them IN bold black and white scenes
on the canvas.
Still-how deserving was the hero
and how craven his rival! And 1t was
a good play. the public testified to
that It was also unlikely that any
Eatontown folks would ever see it
He did not reckon on the far-reach-
ing influence of the moving picture
industry.
The Survival" was sent abroad
throughout the land with several other
entertaining products CT the camera.
SAKE wrote a little, worked much and
thought every day Of his old sweet
heart No bright eyes smiling lips Of
the city could Danish the image Of
Marian Evers.
He could shut his eyes at any time
and see the sweet mouth, the tender,
steady eyes of pansy blue. the capri
cious little chestnut curls that fell
upon her brow and slender white neck
It seemed impossible that she had
gone out Of his life forever!
All the wrath and bitterness had
left his heart with the making Of his
little play; he had only sadness and
a great longing to return to his ma
tive town
