little Bessie Love.
Bessie Love is too busy to be little
girl any more. She simply can't find
time for it. SO she enjoyed her work
all the more in the filming of the new
Triangle drama, "Polly Ann3 because
she was permitted to wear gingham
and pigtails.
The little Triangle star, who must
be so elaborately coiffed for her social
activities and much of her screen work
has one lurking desire she can seldom
fulfill. 1t is to have her hair in braids
down her back, real old-fashioned pig
tails, tied at the ends with blue or
pink hair ribbons.
Before she became the darling of
moving picture fans, she used to do"
the dishes in the morning for her
mother, before she went to school. In
the evenings she did" them again.
And she wore a big gingham apron
and always had her hair in braids
down her back. But now that she is

residence section of Los
and rides to and from the

CUISINE, there isn't time for pig-tails,

Representative Farr, of Pennsyl-

Clemenceau, of France, Mr.. Farr
said, declared the American forces
mot only brought punch, but good
luck"
"Our men are doing wonderfully
good fighting" continued Mr.. Farr.
1T was the recklessness of their dash
that at critical moments over
whelmed the enemy. Aside from
what they achieved themselves they
have put new courage and inspiration
into the French and British.
