CHILD LIVED ROLE
LIKE MOVIE HEROINE
Left Alone When Grandpa Died
and Grandma Went TO Jail.

That the pathetic events Of movies.
which the sophisticated theatregoer
ridicu!es. sometimes are duplicated in
real life is illustrated in the case OF
the ten-year-old girl who was found
upon the river front sobbing disconso-
lately, says "The Louisville Courier
Journal A country couple well along
in their seventies sold farm and set
out for Louisville with their curly
headed granddaughter, TO invest the
proceeds of the sale in business. The
grandfather fell i'll at the station and
died at the hospital, and the grand
mother fell unconscious in front OF a
hotel and was sent 10 Jail.
And the child, left uncared for, wan
dered TO the river front, 10 the vicinity
Of the elevated railroad tracks, leyee
saloons, wharves and steamboats,. to
weep in exactly the sort of surround
inGs in which the child heroine of the
ten. twenty, thirty melodrama is
found in the second act.
