Liberty Theatre

Bessie Love, who is the star of the
Pathe play, The Great adventure"
which will be at the Liberty theatre
August o, has the distinction of be-
,ing not only one of the youngest of
the screen stars, but of having
re@ched the top of her profession in
one snort year Unlike many of the
iayorites OF the screen she did not
come to the motion PICTURES from the
stage.
In 1916 this young girl, with braids
hanging down her back, went out to
houywoOd determined to get an en-
gagement before the camera. one of
the directors was casting picture in
when there was a very small part
requiring young girl Of her general
type. He noticed Miss Love and
thought that "she would do" Mind
ful of the old says that opportunity
knocks but once and that he who
would DO big things must do the
small things well, she put her best
in that small part The impression
that She made upon the director by
her earnestness and adaptabilty re-
suited in her being placed at his re-
quest upon the list of desirable ex-
tras. Then came director looking
Tor good type TO play a Swedish
servant girl in play in which John
Emerson was to be the star 1t was
not a small part this time and he was
most particular to choose a girl who
was thoroughly competent. He saw
Miss Love doing an extra part in

rector and decided that she was the
person he wanted. That picture was
the making Of Miss Love.

Cure for Dysentery.

"While was in Ashland, Kansas,
gentleman overheard me speaking
of Chamberlain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy" writes William Whitelaw,
Of Des Moines, Iowa. "IIe told me in
detail of what it had done for his
family, but more especially his
daughter who was lying at the point
Of death with a violent attack of dys-
entery. and had been given up by the
family physician. Some of his neigh
bors advised him to give Chamber
lain's Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which he did, and fully believes that
by doing so saved the life of his child
lie stated that he had also used this
remedy himself with equally crafty
ing results"

An awful mess met my eyes. The
deck Of my room was awash. The
grip and all my belongings, which
I had unpacked before turning in,
were swishing and smashing on the
deck, now in this corner, now in that.

The ship was rolling like a log In
the trough Of the sea. I held on to
the sides Of my bunk In terror. A
ave would swash against my door
and water would pour In through the
cracks. I felt deathiy sick and I
thought I was going to die. I was
experiencing my first touch Of sea-
sickness.
About six bells In the morning
(three o'clock) the door opened, and
there standing In the opening was a
huge Swede, encased In oilskins. The
icy blast sent q cold shiver through
me. I wondered what he wanted, but
did not wonder long.
"You bane get tea and toast on

bewildered. The door slammed and
once again I was alone. Fifteen min

opened again and in rushed the

"One-eyed Gibson" a "Blue-Noser"

was not safe to trifie with. Without

your son. Oh, father, send me this
token" Then, with q few mystic
grunts, I beseeched Bill and Monday
TO come and receive the token. Mon
day came trembling aft and I pointed
to the little black bird which was
weakly gaSping its last, but it saved
the day for us. How we hOnored and
respected that little bunch Of black
feathers. Curious to see what Mon
day would do, we left him. He sat by
the bird for over an hour, chanting in
that weird, sing-song patois Of the
British West Indies. From that time
on Monday was our slave.
Two days before reaching st. Lucia,
the captain sent for us, and said that
he knew that Bill and I had slowed
away Monday. We, like q couple Of
fish, fell for this and admitted It,
~whereupon the captain coolly In
formed is that we had forfeited all
pay and allowances due us for the en-
tire voyage. The joke Of it was that
under the board of trade laws. the
Cushko had to go two hundred miles
out Of her way to get to st. Lucia and
put Monday ashore.
We dressed him In q long pair Of
white pants; the carpenter gave him
q red vest; Bill placed a derby hat
on his head and he went ashore In a.
small boat. When the boat returned
we lifted anchor, and as st. Lucia
again faded into the distance we could
see a solitary little figure on the dock
waving his white pants around HE
head. He had removed them upon
reaching port. We felt a pang Of re-
greet as he faded out of sight.
After an %uneventful trip we went
into quarantine in New York harbor.
At the first sight of the statue Of
liberty a rush Of independence and
patriotism surged through me. and I
sat down on the hatchway and abso-
lutely refused to work. The captain
threatened to put me in double irons.
l told him to 60 to hell, and do It:
that / was a free American In q free

lection OF the Stars and Stripes, and
In accordance with my rights as q sail

The next afternoon at eight bells I

was dressed in a pair of blue overalls
~barefooted, a Panama hat on my head,
black as a negro from sunburn, q red
handkerchief around my neck, and
wearing a white negligee shirt. On
my left shoulder I had a small mon
key. and in my right hand q wooden
cage with a parrot In It. In my pocket
was $40 in silver, but I did not care.
I was again on terra firma with the
Stars and Stripes floating above me,
I received a wonderful welcome at
home, and was Of the opinion that the
hardships Of my cruise were wen
worth enduring, in view of the recep-
ton / was receiving.
But Of course all wonders die out
in nine days, and mine sizzled out like
a wet firecracker on the Fourth OF
July. and 1t was up to me to get busy
and find something to do.
Thus ended my first real adventure.
