Comedy and melodrama seem u

we'll known actor of the old school,
Mckee Rankin, and the wife of Harry
Davenport, brother of the famous
tregedienne, Fanny
Miss Rankin made her first appear
ance on any stage when she was two
years old. She was carried on and, one
may add, off again in great haste. to
remain under bushel until she reached
the age Of ten. Then she made her real
debut with her father in "Stonebeaten"
at Portland, Ore
Il wasn't much of a success at ten,
either" relates Miss Rankin, and goes
on to tell how her father decided that
there wasn't much in the theory of
heredity after all, and that there was
too much percentage about the environ
ment alternative, leaving nothing for
Phyllis to do but to go into retirement
again.
Il stayed put until I was sixteen, and
then, despite parental unbelief in my

Reggie Sheffield is to play the part of
Tyltyl in Winthrop Ames's production
of '"The Betrothal," Maeterlinck's sequel
to "The Blue Bird" Reggie achieved
his first American success in an Eng
lish piece called evidence" which was
produced about four seasons ago in
the Lyric Theatre. Though the play
died shortly after it's introduction. the
child actor scored. He played the part
of Robin in Sir Herbert Trees produc-
tion of "The Merry Wives" as we'll as
in that made by Hackett, and then
went on tour with "The Man Who
Stayed at Home"
Reggie does not come of theatrical
family, as might be supposed. The boy
was in a preparatory school at East
bourne in England when Mrs. Shelf
field was persuaded by Dion Boucicault
to allow him to appear as Michael in
"Peter Pan"
Reggie is a robust young person,
who wishes to write his own plays and
own a theatre in which to produce
them. The quality of his mind may be
indicated by the fact that he is an ex-
pert chess player, besides being pro-
ficient in drawing, painting, music and
singing.
On his first visit to America he met
on shipboard Marconi, who presented
him with a fine set of wireless ap-
paratus. Another friendship of which
he is proud is that with William H.
Crane, the veteran actor, with whom he
is wont to visit the Polo Grounds dur
ing the baseball season. While no
member of the Sheffield family had
ever been on the stage until Reginald
made his first venture, his ancestor,
John Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham,
was poet and an author and is buried
in Westminster Abbey
1t is not so very long ago that
Reggie CHANGED to overhear a derisve
remark about his shock of curly hair.
Promptly he walked to the nearest
barber and had it cut off and then went
home to face fearful mother The
child Tyltyl sought for Happiness in
1.-THE Blue Birdv and now as a youth
in "The Betrothal" he seeks for Love.
Since there are to be seven heroines
in the Maeterlinck play it would ap-
pear that his quest is not to be with
out complication

OUR BOYS

One DAY soldier somewhere in
France" was told to unload car
of rifles. The soldier saw that if
he had ten more men he could un-
load the car in a shorter time.
He asked the captain for the
men and the captain said, ut
doesn't matter when We get done"
The soldier said, 1.-THE sooner we
get done the sooner we 60 home"
So the soldier was made a captain
and the captain was made a pri-
vate.
! know that you want the boys
to get back as much as they want
to come home. The more Liberty
Bonds and Thrift Stamps you buy
the sooner they will get here.-Ev-
erett Lady, Starr School.

POODLE

One day as grandpa was walking
along the railroad he heard some
thing crying. He looked and saw
something moving in sack. He
picked it up and found that it was
little white poodle dog. He
brought it home and since / was
staying with them he gave it to me.
In about two days | went home and
took the dog with me.
Mother said that l could keep
him. We soon moved to the coun-
try near South Whitley. Poodle
was good dog for long time,
but after a while he began to
catch chickens. Some people
wanted to buy him so we decided
that it would be best to let them
have him. They paid us $500. Sis
ter and each got a dollar. We
bought some aprons.-Loretta Ar

Mary said, YES"
Are you lost?" asked the fairy.
Yes" said Mary.
Well" said the fairy. 'you will
have to stay at my house two
weeks in order that you will learn
not to go away without asking
So Mary stayed at the fairy's
house and when she was ready to
so homo she was like a new girl.
She was very good and when she
got home her mother knew what
had happened to her and she was
glad. Mary got up early in the
mornings and helped her mother
as much as she could and then she
would play. but she never went
away again without asking her
mother. Vivian Mendenhall, Starr

My Visit and What | Saw
When I was at Columbus. Ohio.

When l was at Columbus. OHIO,
visiting my Aunt. We saw a mother
squirrel. She had her nest in a
tree. and there we're some baby
squirrels in the nest.
One day there were some men
trimming trees, they came to the
tree where the squirrel and her
babes were. They were trimming
the tree and sawed into the nest,
and the old mother squirrel fought
the saw.
In a short time I saw the old
mother squirrel carrying away her
babes in a very peculiar manner.
She carried them something like a
cat, but the squirrel takes the
babes by the stomach instead of
the back of the neck.-Gazel Hyatt.

any stories in it, either because it merely told Of all the po

Rome in 585 A. D. They didn't have printing presses pa
per like they had to have slaves write all the copies
