Since then have been learning how not to be a fool.
A few months ago we all said it was impossible for anybody to fly

SPIRIT DICTATES POEMS;
DEAD WOMAN KEEPS BUSY
Mrs. John Curran, Who Died in
1878, Still Engages in Liter
ary Work.

New York, Dec. I3.-Miss Patience
Worth, who died in her New England
home about 1873, was debating poems
and prose to Mrs. John Fl. Curran, of st.
Louis, IN the apartment of Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Behr, I31 East Sixty-sixth street,
yesterday afternoon.
IL WAS a cheerful. healthful and har-
monious scene. A bright log fire snapped
on large open hearth. Its warm glow,
blending with the subdued radiance from
many shaded lamps, revealed Mrs.
Curran's keen, alert features, particularly
remarkable because of the peculiar scin-
tlllant quality of her dark brown eyes,
shone on the polished surface of the ouida
board before her and made distinct each
OF the 3o-odd figures in the interested
hall circle of men and women before her.

Bchr We're. Prof. William r. Shepherd,
OF Columbia, and Mrs Shepherd, Mrs.

man and others who had come in the in

Curran and her many friends are positive

breakneck speed while her right hand
and the right hand Of another person rest

Miss Patience Worth IN another world,
men of science speak confidently of
"hyStcria' and dual personality"
MANY critics of literature have said
that the poems and novels already pro-
duced are touched with genius, and several
OF the poems have been included in Stan
ley Braithwaites anthology which is
considered standard OF the best in Ameri-
can verse. There is general agreement
that Mrs. Curran normally could do none
OF the astonishing feats in writing that she
credits entirely To Miss Worth, particu-

assailable accuracy.

SECURES MOVIES
 OF SUBMARINE
 SINKING VESSEL
U Boats Made Movies of HeIpIess
 Merchantmen,


 Taken from the raided archives of the old German Admiralty of Von Tirpitz during the revolution a year ago in the Fatherland highly colored films have reached this country showing wounded merchant vessels in the Irish sea being torpedoed and under shellfire. The motion picture work was done by one of the U boa ts which had a wandering mission dur ing the height of the ruthless sub marine warfare campaign around the British Isles. This boat not only en- gagged in sinking several ships, but had on board half a dozen skilled camera men.
 The film which had been placed in archives for Der Tag" arrived yes terday in charge of J. H. Mackzum a Knights of Columbu secretary, who had charge of all the motion picture work in France and Germany. ''It is largely through the influence Of the present German government that the film came into my possession. During the revolution the Admiralty office was raided by the mobs and the canisters containing the celluloiG reels became scattered about A; CobIenz made fri tends with a former high ranking army officer and he se- cured the films from a revolutionary leader who he knew possessed them. They show four British merchant ships being torpedoed and shelled in the Irish sea.

SOMETHING ABOUT
 LIGHTING

Filming scenes at six thirty in the kyening is unheard of in southern California, unless the Cooper Hewitts are going in full force. The north west, however, benefits by the fla nous long Alaskan summer nights and it is possible to read ones news paper by day up to ten thirty or af- fer in the evenings.

 Actors may come and actors may go but the actorstrut goes on forever.
 Actors like to study chess but few know how to play the game
 Checkers is favorite pastime and don't they get mad though when someone beats them in a game.
 Some folks make the mistake of thinking that actors are actors all the time.

The actor is Ia human being-in fact very much SC and the better you know the actor course there are exceptions but we have in mind the regular fellow who has taken acting as d profession. But still it is a fact that there are actors and actors and then some more actors.
