comes into our studios in search n

the idea that she would make ire

once have been startled half out
of my senses by hearing some mis-

Is something fierce to have to sit for

have these victims of delusion COM

never heard of a vampire should
come in l would hire her on the spot.
But. OF course. that is Just the way

trying day. A motion picture actress
must have had some experience and
somehow, experience seems to induce
continual self-posing. am con-

them have been forced upon me
against my will and accepted by me
only with the greatest reluctance.
And. as my suspicion of woman
has increased, man has risen higher
In my regard. The average man, &C

some part corresponding to those
which the majority OF girls desire 10
portray. Male Williams of the stage

In spite OF the fact that most Of the

been shouldered by mere man. II
