A studio was secured, a staff and
a large corps Of carpenters. electricians
and workmen engaged. and complete

But that is the way the fascinating

Not many months ago Broadway
mourned the death of one Of its clever

the general sadness there was bit OF

widow. What would she do? Remain
on the screen or quietly hide away in
some nook and permit the world to
forget her?
Months passed, and she remained 81

other day, when she was discovered
deeply engrossed upon her new picture
at her studio in 125th Street.
"You see, didn't want TO say any
thing about it until it was all over.
Actual accomplishment is so much more
desirable than mere plans" she smiled.

ostensibly the tallest actress in New
York. At any rate, when the five feet

the dressing room Of the giantess.
Charlotte, who minute before had
been a blushing bride in white satin,
seized her around the neck, tucked her
;ncontinently under her oxter and said
"what a pair are we." There was no
denying It. The tall one laughed with
her head in the clouds. The small one
Surgled under Charlotte's arm. The
problem was where to find common
meeting ground.
"How very small you arel" began the
interviewee.
"How very tall you are!" countered
the interviewer.
"Supposing you sit on this chair. my
dear; then you won't feel so small"
pursued Charlotte.
And to get on more evenly bal

and descended to a chair before the
