Tammany Young, who plays Scrap
Blinn in "The Fringe Of Society" has
had a most eventful career. As a
nowsboy he came TO the attention of
Paul Armstrong, who made the boy his
protege for twelve years. Later he
shipped as a "ham" on a schooner
bound for South Africa. In Johannes
sburg he started an American dance
hall, but went broke. SO to earn his
passage money back TO the L. S. A. the

form that operation on some Of the
offenders at the present time.
