period, Mr.. Platt has been conducting
an exhaustive study of the photoplay

Curtis, has enabled him to look with a
keenly- discerning eye into the future

TO him in our most ingenious manner
that we thought he would come to
luncheon in a uniform. He thought he
vas getting back at us for saying his
hair was red, and he won't know until
he reads this that that was exactly the
impression we wished to create.
Before we went TO this luncheon
young Hood MacFarlsnd, the handsome
son of our handsome city editor. had
told us that Mr.. Carleton had dia'
bolical sense Of humor. 1t transpired
that he had told Mr.. Carleton the same
thing about US, but we didn't know
that at the time. so we sat down to
luncheon resolved to be amused. And
we were. Mr. Carleton ought never To
be in the silent drama-he ought to be
made to talk all the time. He is what

Mr.. Carleton is the man who played
the British soldier in Elsie Ferguson's
last and best picture. THE Society
Exile" He played it so convincingly
that we have thought of him ever since
as a beautiful brunette British officer
That is why we said that we thought
he would wear his uniform TO the

into the attic.
"Part Of it l hauled up the stairs
and all the rest Of it was stolen that

to roll the stuff in. At any rate, they
left me only coats, and the next night

1t may be inferred that Mr.. Carleton

the screen.
