WIN. HART WRITES HER
Topeka Girl Receives Photos From,
Faverite Film Star.

Movie actors are susceptible to
hattery just like anyone else, in the
opinion of a Topeka woman who has
started a collection of photographs of
prominent persons-movie stars, &C
tresses and others. A month ago Miss
II. Frances Jones, East side reporter
for the State Journal, wrote to Will
liam S. Hart, the real reel favorite
star with Topeka people. Today Miss
Jones received three pictures of Bill
Hart with his name written across the
bottom of each one.
Maybe Bill scented romance in the
far off town OF Topeka or maybe he
just fell for" the statements of Miss
Jones that he was her favorite and the
star of star: to her family. Anyway,
Miss Jones has three large photos, all
signed personally by Bill Hart.
Miss Jones already had an auto
graphed picture of Madame Gadsli.
and with Bill Harris phiz in her pos
session she has the starting of good
collection. Eeartened by her success
with Bill, Miss Jones is going to tackle
other stars soo-I. The actors are ex-
pected to come thru, but Miss Jones
expects some difficulty with Theda
Bara, Mary Pickford and other femi-
nine feature players.
