 A baby burro has been presented to the Goldwyn studios by Nancy, a sleek little donkey that was used in recent production there. On hear ing of the natal event, Mabel Nor mand at once abandoned her com pany and scampered to the scene of interest. As might be expected, she adopted the beast, and with that in sistence no one can deny, demanded that a part be written for him in her comedy. Just how that can be done is puzzling every one, for the play is laid almost wholly in a met ropolitan hostelry.
 Completing the scenes for which an entire company of fifty persons was brought from California to New York, Billie Rhodes and company have returned to Los Angeles, where The Blue Bennett" will be complet- ed in a short while.

expected that most of them would
return this next year, because of the
very attractive increase in salaries

GOT THE WRONG IMPRESSION
Grandfather Was Convinced His Pet
Had Joined the Church, and Re-
Ioiced Accordingly.

She Is newspaper woman and her
grandfather formerly was local
preacher Of circuit fame. He is very
much interested in her religious state
and worries because she does not at
tend church every Sunday night.
The other evening she went to a
church to write story about the new
organ, the purchase of which had been
made possible by her stories In the pa
per. So she took grandfather with her,
knowing that while he could not hear
much Of the services, still he would en-
Joy being in the church.
At the close Of the sermon came a
surprise for the newspaper woman.
The minister announced: 'Miss s., who
wrote the stories which brought the
money for our organ, is with US to-
night and would like for her to come
up in front so that all Of us may see
her and shake her hand"
Grandfather saw his grandchild adj
vance to the front Of the church and
also saw the people begin shaking her
hand. He had not heard word the
minister had said, but still he had the
memory of camp meeting days to in
form him of what was happening.
They convinced him that his grand
daughter had joined the church and
with handshaking the people were
welcoming her into the fold. SO he
did his part. He rose to his feet and
began shouting at the top of his voice.

princess, though I doubt if they're that

George said nothing; he drove on
till they had crossed Anderson addi-

the head of National avenue. There
he turned.

at that old sewing machine" he said.

He left the sentence unfinished, and
presently they were again in sight of
the old sewing machine. George shout

and pair of legs with the toes turned
up indicated that a fourth figure lay
upon its back in the snoW, beneath a

George turned too late; the cutters

snapped off; the little sleigh upset
and, after dragging it's occupants some
fifteen yards, left them lying together
in bank of snow. Then the vigorous

all annoyances and disappeared down

spoke thus gratefully he no longer
minded the crowding-in fact, it
pleased him so much that he began to
wish the old sewing machine would go
even slower. George presently adj
dressed Lucy hurriedly, almost trem-

'Accident?" Morgan shouted over
the din. ''No! She breathes, she

sing "The Star Spangled Banner"
Anderson joined him Justify, and
sang on when Morgan stopped. His
nephew, behind, was gloomy. He had
overheard his mothers conversation
with the inventor: it seemed curious
to him that this Morgan, of whom he
had never heard until last night,

easily; and George felt that it was not
just the thing for his mother to call
Morgan Eugene; the resentment Of
the previous night came upon George
again. Meanwhile his mother and
Morgan continued their talk; but he
could no longer hear what they said |;
the noise of the car and his uncle's
songful mood prevented. He marked
how animated Isabel seemed; it was
not strange to see his mother so gay,
but it was strange that man not of
the family should be the cause of
her gayety. And George sat frowning.

"Yes, it is; and he ought to give that

horses. They're disgrace, all shaggy

to keep it. He let's these people take
too many liberties: they do anything
they want to-"
"But how could he stop themw
Lucy asked, surely with reason. ''If
he sold them the land it's theirs, isn't
it?",
George remained serene in the face
Of this apparently difficult question.
''He ought to have all the tradespeople
boycott the families that sell part of
their yards that way. All he'd have to
do would be to tell the tradespeople
they wouldn't get any more orders

"From the family?' What family?"
