inside.

Silently he drew a chair to the door

his hands, poked his head through the
open transom. An instant later he was
on the floor again. She heard him in
sorting key in the lock. Almost be
fore she could realize that 1t had &C
tually happened, the door opened slow
ly, cautiously, and his thin wiry figure
slid through what seemed to her no
more than crack AS softly the door
was closed.
For long time she stood, dazed and
unbelieving, In the center of the room
staring at the door. She held her
breath, listening for the shout that
was so sure to come-and the shot
perhaps A prayer formed on her lips
and went voicelessly up to God.
Suddenly she reused herself from
the stupefaction that held her. With
feverish haste she snatched up gar

carefully placed them In anticipation
Of the emergency that now presented
itself. A blouse (Which she neglected
to button), short skirt of some dark
material, Jacket, and pair of stout
walking shoes (Which she failed to
lace), completed the swift transforms

damned the pins into a small black
hat of felt Then she peered over the
ledge.
She started back, sitting cry with
her hand. A mans head had almost
come In contact with her own as she
leaned out A mans hand reached
over and grasped the inner ledge Of

was dimly revealed to her startled
gaze.

they were on the very edge of a cliff.
"Good Lord. that was close call"
he gasped. He explained in a few
words and then, commanding her to
stand perfectly still. dropped to the
ground and carefully felt his way for

an instant he understood. They were

In one of the thrilling scenes Mr..
Corbett was supposed to be lashed to

Company's plant.
His director. James Horne, assured
his star that the power wouldn't be
turned on and that there was no
danger, and Mr.. Corbett consented to
be roped. All was in readiness for
the shooting of the scene and in a
moment of confusion the wrong switch
was turned.
According to Mr.. Corbett he travel

for the switch which controlled the
gigantic driving wheel had been push

the mistake was noticed but when

The Return of"Polly"

At the time the late Sidney Drew
passed away in the Middle West. it
was generally believed by screen
devotees throughout the land that
Drew's death would mean the end
of the famous series Of Drew do
mestic comedies which had long been
one of the most charming photo
play comedy features obtainable.
The Drews. it appeared. had made
their brilliant success by close and
intimate teamwork and the passing
Of one member of the famous duo

tinuation of the Drew comedies. 1t
will probably be a source of great
satisfaction to lovers of these do
mestic comedies to hear that Mrs.
Sidney Drew. temporarily unable to
carry on the work that she and heS
husband founded. mas again begun
work on a new series of comedies
which bring her to the screen in the
stellar role and which will be
marked by all the quaint charm and
appeal that characterized the screen
work Of herself and husband.

prior to Mr.. Drew's death. that his
talented and accomplished wife was
the real directing force behind the
Drew organization. Sidney Drew
was not at all loath to coande to
friends that Polly" Mrs. Drew's
screen name) did all the work and
he took the orders.
1t was Mrs. Drew who read the
great majority of the scenarios sub
mitted for comedy production. 1t
was she who did most of the re-
writing necessary to adapt scenarios
TO the peculiar needs of the Drews.
1t was Mrs. Drew who directed the
production of these same bits of
humor and when she had finished
those duties she jumped in and
acted a co-star part with Mr.. Drew
in each and every one of the Drew
productions.
1t will be apparent, therefore.
that while Mr.. Drew's death was
extremely lamentable from every
standpoint. his death left intact the
managerial end OF the Drew pro-
ductions and this end has now gone
to work to earn new laurels for Mrs.
Sidney Drew alone.

The theme Of the play is anti-Bol-

at work to enroll labor in a wide
movement against the government.

Bert Lytell comes honestly by the
versatility which he displays in great
er and greater degree upon the mo-
ton picture screen. While the promi-
nent place this genial young man has
won among the foremost Of picture
dom's young male stars has pri-
marily been the result Of conscien-
tous hard work. Mr.. Lytell did not
launch himself upon a career in si-
lent drama under any very serious
handicap. He had had a thorough
schooling upon the legitimate stage
before it occurred to him that inar-
ticulste drama might present a broad
er teld for his engaging activities.

places like Rector's. Murray's. the
