Had Dial With Hands But Jumped
Queerly
Florence La Badie, Thanhouser
star, had Just come into tho Grand
Central station, New York city. after
a trying day in prison and under in
uuisitlon in the district attorney 8
office. 1t all had happened, OF
course at the big Thanhouser stu
dos, in New Rochelle as a part OF
"The Girl That Wanted to Live"
She had wept and pleaded and
simulated such anguish that even
Frederic Sullivan, her director, was
struck with pity and stopped work
in mid-afternoon. So Miss La Badie
went to town shopping.
Still in the grip Of her rough ex-
periences the actress sympathetical-
ly studied poor foreigner at the sta
tion. He was examining the wall
with puzzled detection on his face.
Miss La Badie followed his gaze.
He was observing the hand OF an
elevator dial, and it pointed quickly
to 10, II, 10, 13. He turned in pain
ed wonderment to Miss La Badie.
"Ze time, mans 'selle, merci."
AS seriously as she could and IN
her best French Miss La Badie ex-
planned that It wasn't clock he was
looking at and showed him her
watch.

How A Director Furnishes

Motion picture players. unlike
stage players, act mostly in the day
time and, although in soma instances
they are required to work at night
in cases of emergency, or fast ap-
proaching release date, they usually
are through with their days work
around S o'clock in the afternoon
The other day in California Harold
Lockwood and Leslie Cuneo were fill
ing in a wait between scenes with
a mitt and baseball. Lockwood miss
cd a hard catch and the baseball
went dangerously close to the cam
era. The director looked at the two
actors sternly. "If you two kids are
not moro careful l will-well, I'll
keep you working late" Harold and
Leslie retired to another part of the
lot where they would not interfere
with any cameras.

4 RANK DISSEMINATION.

The secretary Of the war has written
a letter of explanation in regard to the
rule which permits the Knights of Co
lumbus, a Catholic secret organization,
to maintain its halls in the various
army camps and environments and at
the same time denies such privileges
to the Masons, odd Fellows, knights
o. Pythias and other fraternal orders.
Local interest is felt in the matter
because of the stand which Represen-
tative Crisp has taken in insisting that
the government has Disseminated in
favor of the Knights Of Columbus.
The secretary's explanation is ap-
parently a sincere and candid state
ment, but his whole conclusion is
worthless because his premise is I'M
true. He says that the Knights of Co
lrmbus were given the privilege be-
cause they operate their establishments
in non-sectarian spirit, in the manner
of the Y M. C. A.. which is abso-
lutely interdenominational
The Knights of Columbus is a secret
Organization, to which only Catholics
are admitted All of its ACTIVITIES are
directed toward the interests Of its
members, first of all, and for Catholics
in general as a secondary proposition.
We have never heard of the knights
.oG Columbus Interesting themselves in
Protestant affairs, nor of Protestants
availing themselves of any courtesies
that may have been extended by the
Knights Of Columbus.
The Recorder has no feeling
q ainst the Catholic church, nor against
the Knights of Columbus-we would
support either, in any worthy endeavor,
just as promptly and as literally as we
would the Baptist church or the Ep-

ing.

of what Secretary Baker has wsitten.
