good nature and was very much in
clined to laugh himself over Peter
trick, which had sent him rolling
down hill in barrel and had given
him the greatest shaking-up he ever
had had in his whole life. But he
felt that II wouldn't do TO let Peter
on without some kind of punish

Peter a little. He knew that Peter
wouldn't dare come out during the
daytime because of the Yellow

Being naturally rather lazy JIM

than the edge Of the Old Orchard,

Johnny Chuck's old house, where
Peter was a prisoner. There Jimmy
found a warm, sunny spot and curl

memories of California the
early morning song OF the
lark, who calls to his mate as he
flies over the housetops to the green
hills and wheatfieids beyond. Nor
was 1t always a dawn song, because
this gray and yellow-breasted song
ster, growing almost as bold as the
mocking birds, would fly down to
the studio gardens and warble a SEN
timentaI Accompaniment to all of our
scenes.
One little lark incident lingering
in my mind is of the morning we
were taking a scene in "The Found
ling" where I, as Molly-O, paused
in my work of cleaning the stove to
dream of the lonely little children l
had left at the orphanage.
Not sound could be heard except
the rustic of the wind in the tall
eucalyptus-even the endless hammer
beats of the city seemed far away
because our studio was among the
hills and trees of Hollywood-a sub
urb of Los Angeles.
an this scene real tears must flow
the big, splashing tears that spell
the tragedy of our childhood"
prompted the director, as he stood
beside the camera, waiting for that
psychological moment when SO en-
tered into the character of the little
orphan girl that l could forget it
was an art and not a real heartache
that engulfed Molly-O.
You who have always thought the
screen tears were triekled in by a
convenient eye-dropper must be con-
vinced that such is not the case. For
we who play a part must live a part,
and when there comes an unhappy
hour in the life of the little character
we portray we weep as we'll as we
laugh with her; in fact, we are. no
longer ourselves, but the real, truly
people of the story.
But it is not always as easy to cry
as it is to laugh, and on this early
summer morning, when the skies
were unclouded and the subtle per-
fume of the flowers was whipped by
the breeze across: the studio yard,
there were no tears within nay heart
and l felt as if ! could better sing
than weep. l would rather it had
been a rough-and- tumble scene where
Billy Wbiskers, the goat, and l could
have a tussle, or l could chase the
pound wagon that had captured my
ornery little yellow dog. But it was
destined by schedule that l was to
weep, so l resigned myself to the
inevitable.
Hidden in back of the set was a
musician who drew a bow across his
violin, and could hear throbbing
strains of low, sweet music, which
sounded like little voice singing to
me from out the darkness. And then
the lark came to perch in tree just
above the studio, and carol forth a
joyous morning song which died like
the notes of the violin in plaintive,
wistful little trill.
Over and over he sang his little
song, until the walls of the scenery
faded away and. like the Arabian

LECTURES ON EUGENICs.

DIR. Hamilton Tells Y. NJ. C. A.
Audience of Basis for New Science.
That eugenics is an attitude OF mind and
a conception of marriage in terms of the
best birthright for the children to be, was
the basic thought in DIR. Hamilton's
lecture at the Y. NJ. c. A last night.
The new science" he said, directs at
tention to those things that make better
parenthood and so includes a score of
activities of educational and human in
terest.
scientifically eugenics has demon
strated that mental as well as physica |
characteristics are inherited and in the
same proportion. Practically eugenics has
shown that by putting folk suffering from
hertditary nervous Affections In colonies
where they can live happy and useful
lives without having children the State
will be relieved of a burden in the years
to come"
