When Fred Stone. the celebrated
comedian, who will be seen in a
series of Aircraft photoplays this
season, arrived in California last
summer, he was accorded rousing
welcome by the studio folk at Hol
lywood 1t was in many respects
a remarkable event and attested to
the full the popularity in which
Mr.. Stone is held by players as
we'll as the public generally. When
Mr.. Stones train rolled into Holly
wood station, there was fusillade
by scores of buckaroOs in brilliant
shirts and flaming handkerchiefs,
sombreros on their heads and
howitzers in their belts. Hidden
among them was Douglas Fair
banks and when Mr. Stone stepped
from the train, herthought he was
being held up in regulation style
until he saw Mr.. Fairbanks, who
jumped onto his shoulders. Il give
in. boys" said Mr.. Stone simply.
The next day Mr.. Stone started
work on Under the Top" a cir
Gus picture which was to have
been his first release. but it was
decided to present MIN 10 the pup
lie first in The Goat" Later he
began work on johnny Get Your
Gun" a perturbation of Edmund
Lawrence Burke's successful farce
and this will be shown at the
Spencer Square theatre tomorrow
and for three days.
In this photoplay, Mr.. Stone por-
trays the role of a cowboy motion
picture performer who has several
unique and interesting experiences
in the development of an unusually
interesting story. His leading wom-
an is Mary Anderson, a beautiful
and talented actress. and the prin,
cipals in his support INCLUDE Cas-
son Ferguson, James Cruze. Sylvia
Ashton. Raymond Hatton, Nina By
ron, Noah Beery and others.

Of the cafe at Third avenue and
Twenty-second street, in which
the shooting occurred Monday
night, appears to bother him but
little.
When an Argus representative
visited the county Jail late yester-
day afternoon for the purpose of
having Cook pose for a picture, he
had to be awakened from a sound
sleep, which he had been enjoying
the greater part of the afternoon.
He smiled and conyersed with a
deputy sheriff while being led into
the yard just outside of the Jail
building and seemed anything but
worried over what had occurred
the night before. Cook stands
about six feet, two inches tall, and
is of slender build

At the Majestic.

Comedy again appears as a happy
attendant to the playing of Miss
Lillian Gish in her newest role,
that of a country girl in "a
Romance of Happy Valley" David
w. Grifith's second Aircraft pro-
duction, which will be shown at the
Majestic today, Thursday and Fri
day
Miss Gish's efforts in comedy
in The Great Love-" were re-
warded by general applause from
the critics. Under Mr.. Grifith's di-
rection she has created new and
delightful character, and her part
as Jennie LTimberlake in the new
production is even MORE spark
ling.
She appears as the only child of
an idle, likeable farmer in the Ohio
valley county, man who neglects
his little fields but attends most in
dustriously to his sleep. He wishes
his daughter to dress as her moth
er did. To be confined to rural
styles of a generation ago, and at
the same time array oneself to at
tract the interest of young John
Logan, Jr, is a supreme task for
her girIish ingenuity.
Her trials are not entirely con-
fined to fascinating the eyes of
John Logan, Jr., for her father is
addicted to headaches, and Oft
times needs her attention in the
night. So she arranges q signal
system of quaint and effective
simplicity. Miss Gish makes the
character one of delightful whim-
sicaIities, a, unique and fascinat-
ing personality. The comedy is
fuller than any Miss Gish has at
tempted in the past, and it becomes
her with the same artistic charm as
the sterner roles.

MONEY MADE WITH CHICKENS
Tennessee Woman Cleared 1919 in
Five Years With Two Settings
of Wyandotte Eggs.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgrlcultureD
Two settings of White Wyandotte
eggs, costing So in five years time net
ted 1919 profit for a woman poultry
club member in Madison county, Tenn.
The first two settings of eggs were
bought in 1914. In 1915, nine hens and
six cockeSels were sold for 81; in
1916 43 hens and two cockerels brought
$40; in 1917 500 worth of eggs and
birds were solo, in 1918 the value of
the flock, both fowls kept and sold,
was $315; a total of $429. Much of
the feed was waste products of the
farm and cost nothing.
The total cost of production was !:
Original settings, 50; two breeding
pens, $50; feed, $40; advertising, three
years, $S-a total of $50. The profit Of
1919 was made possible because of the
smallness of the enterprise and the
fact that most of the feed for the birds
had no money value.
