MANY GIRLS ARE sWINDLED
WouId-Be Movie Stars Induced to Part
With Money on All Kinds
OF Promises.

Young girls come to New York by
the scores of hundreds, determined to
win fame and much money in motion
pictures, says Film Fun. They believe
they can do this.
In most cases they have only little
money and very few friends wiser than
themselves. Sooner or later each re-
ceives card Of invitation, signed with
an unfamiliar name, but bearing every
evidence of good taste and sincerity.
1t informs the ambitious one that
the writer has learned she is open for
an engagement In the pictures, and If
this is so will she please call. She
does call and is met with a cordially
that might arouse suspicion in star,
but which pleases the innocent one.
Very adrOitly she Is put in posses
sion of the information that she is
needed in the work, but three or four
weeks training Is absolutely necessary
to prepare her, even though she may
have acted for years on the stage.
And the, charge will be $50.
Usually, If she seems reluctant, an
assistant is called into conference, and
presently a special price of $25 is
agreed to.
If 1t may be surmised from the con-
versation that a larger sum can be OBJ
tanned, the aspirant for stellar roles Is
told that stock may be purchased in
the corporation in amounts anywhere
from 500 to $1,000, and an investor
will receive enormous dividends, and
the necessary preparation for screen
success without tuition. A contract
Is guaranteed to each investor.
Everybody in filmdom knows of the
existence of the concerns, Of which
there are several that vary but little In
their plan of operation. They all carry
regular ads in the daily papers. 1t is
from responses to these advertise
ments that addresses are obtained.
One concern charges an enrolment
feesof SIS, dollar each for course Of
20 lessons, and confers diploma when
these have been completed. Then the
new actress is advised to have a strip
of film made, just to show how well
she screens.
The charge for this Is only $25. She
is assured this is essential to success.
The near-riot that often ensues when
young woman shows up with her
strip of film and demands the star part
which has been guaranteed her, and
which she believes she has earned
and paid for, would be very funny If
1t were not in many cases so tragic.
This very thing would happen
oftener than 1t does but for the fact
that studios and managers are safe
guarded against all visitors.

Odd GIFTS to Red Cross.

The Crow Must Be Suppressed.

Now that the world is faced with
serious shortage of food, and that the
price of seed corn is soaring beyond
bounds, it behooves us all to discrim-
mate sharply between those birds that
are insectivorous and therefore the
friends Of man and his crops, and those
that are graminivorous and hence pc
culiarly inimical to human interests.
Among the latter family of cOrvidae,
the crow and his cousins-ravens,
rocks, magpies, jackdaws, etc.-are
adjudged to stand, despite the fact that
their diet is more or less omnivorous
Their depredations in grain fields
at the time of sowing are, in fact, so
serious that in France the secretary
Of agriculture has issued bulletins to
the various projects, recommending
the destruction of these birds, and Of
fering information to this end.-Scien-
