Helen Ware IN ~secret Love-.

Helen Ware I'm @Secret Love-
When Miss Helen Ware was secured
by Bluebird Photoplays, Inc, to enact
the stellar role IN "Secret Love" she
approached her work without all the
fuss the less experienced players ap-
ply to their entry INTO the new field.
She gave no outpourings Of her
tigofdity, II she had any; made no
long speeches in comparing screen
work with the acting, in the nesh, be-
fore an audience; she was practical
enough to know that "acting is act
ing" whether 1t is done IN public or
private life, or before a camera.
What Miss Ware did say was this:
'NThe role l have in "Secret Love" is
about the most congenial l ever
played. The emotions Of the rugged
child of the coal-mining life, as /
adapt them to myself, carry an appeal
that amounts almost to fascination. /"
The portrayal of the leading char
acter in "Secret Love-" as will be OBJ
served when the Bluebird photoplay Is
shown at the Isis theatre on Sunday
calls for the widest possible sweep Of
emotion.

BUSY Time SPENT
BY MANY SHOWMEN
ARRANGING OPENING
LARGE NUMBER OF TENTS HAVE
BEEN ERECTED IN DOWN
TOWN SECTION, AND CROWDS
WATCHED BUSY WORKERS.

All day yesterday great loads of
tents, seats, fronts, wild animals and
whatever constitutes show property,
was being drawn to the lots, where
the Greater Sheesley Shows are to
hold carnival until after the Mardi
Gras celebration. Crowds of boys and
grown-ups were watching the erect
ion of the big Eli Ferris wheel and
catching glinpses OF the wild ami
mails.
Mr.. Sheesley has received several
answers to his advertisement for q
couple to be married in with the lions,
and one of these seemed so genuine
that his identity Is being looked up,
together with that of his intended.
The young man signed name that
looked little like an alias, but at the
address given his real name was di-
vuIged as was also that of Pensa-
cola young lady with whom he has
been keeping company for some time.
Mr.. Sheesley viii give 800 in gold to
those selected providing the affair is
bona fde and viii not accept any
other condition.
There are many more shows than
was anticipated and some had to be
placed little out of the way on Gar
den street. The Garden of Allah will
be near Chase on Palafox, and the big
Wild Animal Arena is Just back of
the Ferris wheel and Merry Go Round.
Here also viii be found the side show
with tent that is over a hundred
feet long containing twenty stages
and pits all filed with strange peo-
pie and curiosities. Little Olga is To-
Gated Just back of the drinking foun-
tain at Garden and Palafox, while a
litfie further up on Garden is located
the Days of '49 and the Tango Tab
loid. The Old Plantation will be
found upon Chase and Palafox. The
shows will open today st o'clock and
continue until IL o'clock each night.
Free acts and band concerts will en-
liven the occasion. Mr.. Sheesley has
positively decided to return to Pen
sacola at the end Of the season.
