''That's what had handed out to me
the first day / ever tried acting for the
silent drama" Robert Warwick, who is
the star in this World Film Corporation
release Of George Broadhurst's famous
success, 1.-THE Man Of the Hour" made by
VIM. A. Brady, said the other day, 81
consider that acting for the screen and on
the legitimate stage are two separate and
distinct arts.
SIN spite OF the popular belief, playing a
part before camera is in many ways
harder than playing before the most criti-
cal audience Of flesh and blood people,
In the first place, you have to be q good
deal more natural. The motion picture
director searches the country with q fine
tooth comb till he finds the type he
wants, and then he simply let's him be
natural. And the director is right, be-
cause 1t is very difficult thing to find an
actor who will play type as it ought
to be played"
1.-THE Man Of the Hour will be pre-
sented at the Strand threatre Saturday

MASON CITY MAY GET
VETERANS OF CENTRAL
President Justice Writes That Ne"
Club Will Take Men Who Must
be Released.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Feb. Ia
Mason City, the new town in the Cen
trail association. wants four of the vet
Grams who must be released by the
old c. A. club to satisfy the new four
man rule. President Justice has writ
ten letters to c. A. managers notify
ing them that Mason City is up against
the proposition of building up team,
and will accept the men who have
been released by other clubs which
can use only four men who have had
more than thirty days experience in
q league higher than class D.
Mason City, of course, can use only
four of these men, and is willing to
take the best of the released veterans
Whether Manager Beldon Hill will
send enc of his veterans is doubtful,
for the Bunny club last season did
not have four men who played thirty
DAYS in a league higher than the Cen
trail association. The move, however,
is good one, as the coming season
will be hard one on the players.
More than 500 baseball athletes lost
Jobs through the cutting of the player
limit in the various big and little
leagues. AT present there are about
three players for each baseball job IN
tho United States.

MAJORS DO NOT WISH
TO BUY PLAYERS NOW
Various Clubs After Bunny Stars but
All Want to Trade and Not
Purchase,

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Feb. 10
There is very little doing in the line
of buying Of ball players these days.
Every club of the higher leagues is
after good men, but no club wants to
buy. Every manager thinks himself
the foxy fox of the game of barter
and offers to trade for the stars he
would drag out OF the minor leagues.
The average boss is the side show of
baseball, and of course, has brains
enough to be cautious. He is from
Missouri, and wants to know why
big league club offers him a very
good man for one who is not so
good. All deals, however are not
lopsided, for some of the big league
magnates offer two good catchers for
a pitcher to club which can afford
to lose pitcher and needs catcher.
To the Cedar Rapids club, it is said,
several offers have been made for
players. Pitcher Harper is the boy
wanted by the majority of the clubs
that ar, angling for good material.
But no one wants to buy Everybody
wants to trade. 1t is practically GER
tain that there will be few sales the
coming season. The big leagues will
buy players OF very promising ability,
for they must have good men. But
the buying will be on very conser-
vative basis The major league clubs
will not take the chances they took
in former years in grabbing a man
who showed the least bit Of ability,
merely to keep him away from the
rival teams
