Gertrude Mccoy, New Star of Gau-
mont Mutual Masterpictures, De Luxe
Edition.
Gertrude Mccoy, who enjoys the rep
utation Of being motion picture ia
Norite both in America and abroad, is
the latest of the charming stars engag-
ed by the Gaumont- Mutual studios.
Miss McCoys ability to register her
deeper emotions through the surface
charm Of her work has had much to do
with her success. Her first screen les
sons were under the capable direction
Oh w. d. Griffith at the Biograph
studio, where so many artists have de
Veloped their talents. Her biggest sue
cesses have been with the Edison Com
pany. She has even had the distinc-
tlon of having theatres named after
her and has even been the successful
author of several photoplays.

WESTERN UNION IN
NEW SERVICE NOW

The Western Union Telegraph COM
Lanya nnounces that its offices are now
prepared to execute small commissions
such as the purchase of flowers, candy,
fruits, cigars, books, etc., for the ac-
commodation of patrons at distant
points. This is in effect an extension
of the Western Union money transfer
service, and represents the latest de-
velopment in the policy of the manage
ment of that company to place it's ma
ton wide organization at the disposal
Of its patrons.
Under the plan now in effect, any
one who desires to arrange for the
delivery of flowers or gifts or remem-
ORANGES of any kind, or for the trans
action of any other small commission
involving the disbursement of money
at distant points, no nonger needs to
know some one at the distant point
who will fill the order or execute the
combination all that is necessary is to
wire the amount to the Western I'm
ion manager at the point of delivery
through the medium of the companys
regular money trnasfer service, and to
incorporate in the transfer message re
quisite instructions regarding the pur-
chase and delivery of the articles de-
sired, or whatever other commission
may be involved.
The service will be available at any
OF the places where the company )
money transfer service is in operation,
and it will be a special boon to the
man who forgets his birthday or other
remembrances, or puts them off until
the last minute, since it will enable
him to repair his oversight, or neg
lect, at the eleventh hour.
Florists, confectioners, book sellers
ard tobacconists, naturally will reap
large benefits from this service, and it
should help to boom their business.
However, this supplementary service
is not confined to a few lines. Among
the uses suggested are the delivery
Of candy, cigars, books, etc, as birth
day and other membranes, the de-
livery of flowers on birthdays, wedding
anniversaries and in cases of illness
or death, the delivery of baskets of
fruits to friends and especially those
departing on ocean trips, the delivery
of theatre tickets, etc, all with the
card of the sender enclosed-but Man
ager C. w. Clarke announces that the
ervice practically covers anything thar
one may choose In ordering anything
that is not ordinarily delivered free
OF charge by local merchants, the de-
livery can be insured by paying 80
cents additional, for which sum deliv
cry will be made by uniformed West
ern Union messenger.
