Lines to Laura Hope Cre1us
By Harriette Underhill

81 like that lady; I'm going to sit be-
side her.
And then she told US how she used
TO be in stock in San Francisco. and
we discussed all OF her plays up to the
present one, and she invited US to 20
TO see "The Saving Grace" the very
next night. which we did.
The Saving Grace" is ali about some
people who are Just like so many peo-
pie one meets in real life. only in
real life we do not like them and in
The Saving Grace" we do.

when the maid says 'In the oven"

all right" At any other time our SYM
pathy would be entirely with the
butcher and we should stop enjoying
the play until he got his ten shillngs.
Miss Crews had invited US to her
dressing, room after the performance.

Just as we stepped in the room Miss
crews's maid was taking her jewelry
out OF the safe, and she handed her
beautiful string of pearls, with sap
phire and diamond clasp, saying: Here,
Miss Crews, don't forget your beads"
Miss Crews put on her beads and
then we were all ready to start But
first we We're introduced to Mr. Maude.
He is charming man. delightful
actor and the best Liberty Loan speaker
we ever heard, unless it be Shelley

Why, do you know, if one Of my lines

do you remember where Blinn tells
me thet he has sold the portrait Of

Jane Cowl

Jane Cowl has entered the field of
comedy with Conformation, Please"
with the quite praiseworthy motive of
showing that she is a person of versa
tility and the quite human one of re-
sentiment at having the name "Crying
Jane" fastened to her
In searching for comedy role it
became apparent that comedy roles
suited to large, beautiful, ex-emo
tional actresses were not abundant
To find comedy role suited to her
personality would require long search
and patience. SO, being a person Of
great vigor and not great deal Of
patience, Jane Cowl decided that j,
would be just as easy to write one for
herself as to find one.
Her collaboration with Jane Muffin
comes through friendship that date

she and Jane Murfin were strueclin

When we get q chance to interview
actresses like Laura Hope Crews-no,
it cant be expressed just like that, be-
cause there aren't any. We shall put
it this way: when we get chance TO
interview Laura Hope Crews we realize
the truth of what every one is always
saying to US, viz, that we ought to be
ashamed to take money for it. We can
only answer that we are ashamed and
that we do not take it because we
think we deserve it, but only because
we need it, and then, you can't inter
view Laura Hope Crews ali the time.
Miss Crews is the ingenious advent
uress who is the VIE Of Cyril Maude
in 1.-The Saving Grace at the Empire

humor has a gentle, bewildered quality
which makes it irresistible. 1t is gil
SO unconscious and it always seems
such pity for her to be LEFT ont Of

Miss Crews was late, because she had

Jackson county has many
things of which is may we'll teel
proud and among these are the
way the county has gone over
the top in the Liberty Loan
drives, the support given to the
Red Cross work OF all kinds, the
Y. NJ. G.. A., and other funds for
war purposes, the way our boys
have answered the call to the
COlors and went TO the front to

mains an instance wherein we
are not up to the point at which
we should be. This is in the pur-
chase OF Thrift and War Saving
Stamps. The last report put out
early in April by the State Dlrec-
tor of War Savings Stamps,
showed that Jackson County was
55Ih on the list in the per capita
purchase of stamps and that we
had purchased an average OF only
81 cents a person OF stamps. Dur
inG the year 1918 Jackson county
has a quota of these stamps to
purchase amounting to $1,000 for
every man, woman and child in
the county, and it is up to us to
hurry along if we are going to be
over the top when the closing
time comes. The sale OF these
stamps, while for a smaller amO-
unit, is Just as important to our
Government as in the sale OF the
Liberty Bonds, and it is the patri-
OtiC duty of everyone in the Coun-
ty to purchase at least their full
quota, and more if possible. On
