while reviewing troops in France dur.
ing the early part of October and that
Great britain is in bad way politi,
celiy and onthe yerge of a revolution
that may be percipitated by the lower
classes at any time IS the report in an
uncensored letter just received by Sid
ne: Ormand, former newpaper mau
and now private secretary to Mayor
Woodward of Atlanta, from his sister,
Mrs. Alice Ormand Campbell, who is
In London.
Mrs. Campbell refers to the rigid
censorship or news regarding the con-
dition of the King, a subject that the
newspapers do not touch upon, leav-
ing the general impression that he is
any thing but we'll. The source of
Mrs. Campbell's information is Lady
Trowbridge, a sister of the Countess
of Dudley. who is close to the royal
family and daily visitor to Bucking-
ham Palace.
The story related to Mrs. Campbell
| by. Lady Trowbridge is that while in
France the King had been riding a
gentle horse, belonging to the Count
of Dudley, but on the day of the review
was furnished by the General Staff
with a rather nervous and highly en-
citable mount. The minute the King
was In the seat the animal began to
prance in an alarming manner. Rear
ing on it's hind legs, the horse slipped
in the mud and fell hard on the King,
breaking all his ribs on the one side
and crushing and misplacing several
organs. The softness of the ground
/ is held responsible for the British rul-
er being alive today.
| According to the story told by Lady
Trowbridge. the King is now being

an X-Ray picture is taken in an effort
to ascertain just what 1t is possible
for the surgeon to do for him. It can
not even be predicted, the letter con-
tinues, that the King will ever recover.
In discussing the imminent revolu-
tion Mrs. Campbell declares that it is
about to be precipitated through the
failure Of the English government to
conscript last spring, when such a
movement would have been practical.
1t is too late for the effort TO be
successful, she says, as the middle and
lower classes are holding back in zap
palling numbers" They are further
/ being goaded to desperation, she
points out. by the recent decree al.
flowing the drink houses to open but
five and half hours a day-from
noon to $50 p. m, and from 6 pm.
to 9 p. m. During this time the bars
are filled, and there is some talk now
of further curtailiDg the freedom of
the proprietors-a condition that,
should Il arise, fs fully expected to
bring OH the crisis.
The upper classes have never hesi-
tated to volunteer, concludes Mrs.
Campbell. The flower of England has
gone to the slaughter, she says. A
mong all her friends in London she
says there is not single family where
every eligible male in the family is
not either dead or wounded or on the

made it possible for any one
to offer suggestions. One afternoon

during our scene where we were
supposed 20 sit quietly for a long
time, found We grew very uneasy
and sclf-conscious with nothing TO
do.
called to Mr.. Belasco, who sat
out in front of the stage, explaining
the situation to him. He sat in a
deep study for two or three nlnutes
and then asked: What do you want
to play with-blocks?
81 guess l'ri too big for blocks, l
replied. Couldn't have a doll:'
What kind of doll, Betty? AS
you are a little Southern girl during
wartime, you must think OF the
Flaythings she would be most apt to
have"
81 remember my mother talking
about a doll she played with when
she was a little girl. 1t had fiat
china face, with painted black hair.
Mr. Belasco smiled rehecuvely.
My mother had one. too" he re-
piled. Then turning to Dick Storey
What do you want, Dick?

And so il was that Mr.. Bclasco
| had these toys made for US and they
! travelled with US across the country

est possessions | have today is that
homely but beloved china doll with
the painted black hair.
After leaving Mr.. Bclasco, / went
into pictures and did not see him
until I had writer. the original story

Mr. Griffith thought it one of the best
things | had conc in pictures, and
as it was to be released at the Her
aid Square thcater in New York,
tclephoned Mr. Dean, Mr.. Bclasco s
manager, and asked him if he re-
membcrcd Mary Pickford, whom
they always called Betty" because
OF the role l played in The War
rcns of Virginia
"Why, Mary PiSkford" he cried
over the telephone. You are jus,
the one VIC have been looking for
Mr.. Bclasco asked us several days
ago to find you, as he has a new
part he thinks you would like"
He then asked me to hurry down
to the Office. which l did with all
csgcrncss.
"Wcll, WELL here's little Betty
grown up" was the first thing Mr..
Belasco said to me. Take off your
hat and let lie see your curls."
As l was drawing my hat off,
turned arourt to become aware for
the first time there was stranger
in the room.
"Mr. Armstrong, this is the little
actress I thought would do for the
blind girl in your play, The Good
Little Devil What do you think
about herr"
did not dare look up for a min
ute for fear l would meet disapprov-
ing eyes, but the Fates, the author,
