 Sylvia Breamer
 Some years ago theatre-goers in Australian cities were commenting on the beauty and talent of beautiful ingenue named Sylvia Breamer, who appeared in various dramatic touring companies. Miss Breamer is an Australian girl, and with characteris- tic ambition. she determined to storm the American stage.
 Arrived in New York she soon ob- tained a part in Major Barbara" and was rapidly climbing the theatrical ladder when J. Parker Read. Jr.. then on the stan of Thomas H, Ince, in duced her to make test picture. which led to a years contract in which she played leads with William S. Hart and Charles Ray. After the Ince pie lures came series of co-starring pro- auctions under J. Stuart Backton. and thA was followed in turn by con

rived at Monterey with orders from his government to proclaim British sovereignty over California.
 To George Washington in his earlier life the fourth of July was a date of painful significance; for it was on | that day, in the year 1754, that he met with his first military defeat, be- ing driven to surrender, with an army under his command. and to give up a fort to the enemy.
 First Blood O2 French War
 He was at that time only 22 years old, and commanded g. small body of troops marching toward Fort Du- quesne. At point on the Monon- gahela less than forty miles from his destination, he learned of the approach of strong force of French and In dians. Falling back to Great Meadows, fifty miles from Cumber- land, he hastily erected a stockade. which he called Fort Necessity
 Not waiting to be attacked. Wash ington, with the help of a friendly sachem named Half King fell upon tllS SfitlP F VI LliC CicuCil at nlSQt, XIII ing Jumonvilfe, their commander, and taking prisoners. This was the first blood shed In the French and Indian War. But few days later. the French forced the surrender of Fort Necessity, and, on July 4, the little army of Americans marched out with all the honors of war, 400 strong, drums beating and colors flying. Whereupon they returned peaceably to their homes.
 On the fourth day of July, 1884, two parks sent by Sir Walter Raleigh to annex the American continent north of Florida arrived off the coast of Virginia. Entering river mouth. they took possession of the country, calling it after the virgin queen, Eliza beth. They landed on Roanoke Is-

Spy In theC Congress ThatDe- Clared Independence - How California Became Free and C. Washington Lost An Army Both On the Fourth of July.
BY ROBERT TIGHE

ET is surprising how many things there are about Liberty Day of
 which people generally know noth-
 ing.
 For instance. ask the best-informed person you know who pr. Zubly was, and he will confess his ignorance. Yet pr. Zubly was traitor whose name in American history might properly rank with that of Benedict Arnold.
 A delegate from Georgia to the Con gress that declared our Independence, he was secretly a spy of the British Government, reporting to the latter every act of the legislative body. When B fellow member charged him with ! treachery. he called heaven to witness his innocence but imm ediately there after left Philadelphia and fled to Savannah
 Another Georgia delegate, named Houston followed him in pursuit; but zubly. finding the revolutionary pa triots in control in Savannah, sought safety on board of British sloop of war that lay in the harbor Nobody knows what became of him after wards, but it is supposed that he end- ed his days in obscurity in England.
 It is a mistake to regard Thomas Jefferson as sole author of the Dec laration of Independence. He made the original draft with notifications suggested by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. Then the Congress took hold of it, and made alterations which ere said to have caused Jefferson to "writhe with agony"
 Charges Against King George
 The first draft contained some bit Ing remarks about the tyranny of the

land which was afterwards occupied by the first English settlement in the New World. The colony. comprising no persons, was sent out in 1885, but in less than a year the enterprise was abandoned, the settlers carrying back to England with them the first tobacco and first potatoes ever taken to Flu rope. The potatoes were experiment. ally planted on Raleigh's estate, near Cork, in Ireland.
 Celebrating Independence
 A very few years ago, the chief meth cd adopted for exhibiting patriotism on the Fourth of July was by the use of explosives. Unfortunately. this involved great losses of property by fire and multitudes of casualties, many of them fatal. Customarily the fire depart ments of our cities were kept busy for at least twenty-four hours with blazes caused by firecrackers and fireworks. Toy cannon, toy pistols. and dangerous torpedoes loaded with high explosives made havoc among children. Cases of lockjaw were numerous. The hos pitals were overworked.
 
 Four hundred and sixty-six persons were killed by the celebration of 1903. The total killed and wounded by Fourth of July explosives in the five years from 1903 to 1907 numbered 23,673-more than the cost to the al- lied armies of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, or that of Gettysburg to the Union Army. The total Fourth of July casualties for the ten years from 1898 to 1907 exceeded those of the American troops during the entire war of the Revolution.
 At length, however. the lesson was learned. Public opinion demanded the abolishment of such useless mis- chief, and the idea of a "safe and sane" Fourth obtained general accept ance.

tract between Miss Breamer and Di- rector Sidney A. Franklin, to film a series of picturizations of Robert w. Chambers stories. She has just com pleted the first of these. adapted from that novelist's popular story, "Atha- lie."
 Johnny Ray And Margaret Fitzroy
 George McManus, the cartoonist, says he had ha-ha inspiration when he brought into being "Jiggs and Mag gie," in his famous comics, Bringing up Father" Then, to be mirthfully modern. he introduced the famous couple into the movies. Now they are to be seen under Pathe's pilotage in series of two-reel comedies.
 Johnny Ray who was selected to portray Jiggs, has for years been prominent figure in theatricals. He has toured the country in vaudeville. and in musical comedy. He is the personification of Jiggs on. the screen McManus characterizes him as "car- toon come to life" and "the personi- fication of the pen prank"

 When Jack Perrin came from Three Rivers. Michigan, to Los Angeles it was with the intention of being di- rector, but very soon. they decided that he was too good looking to waste upon the mechanical end of the pie lures and before he~ knew it he was one of Universals most prominent leading men.
 Recently he married little Josephine Hill, another Universal player. so per- haps he is consoled.

brought an order to turn back, in view of expected hostilities with Mexico. The officer, being obliged to pass through Mexican territory. had de- stroyed the written order, but de- livered 1t by word of mouth.
 California's Revolution
 Fremont turned back. and took up Headquarters at Sutter's Fort, a stronghold of most primitive pattern even for those days, but capable of defense. In the meantime Americans in California Cat that time part of Mexico), only about 200 in number organized a revolution, captured So- noma, and declared war
 This was in June. 1S46. Ontthe fourth day of July a meeting was called at Sonoma, which proclaimed the independence of California and ap- pointed Fremont Governor. Forty eight hours later there futtered from

finer interpretation of this farcical character than Miss Fitzroy. She, too. has had long stage career and makes an ideal selection to play opposite the risible Johnny Ray. Kathleen O'Connor And Jack Perrin
 Kathleen O'Connor. the vivacious Universal player did not change her name when She left her home in Co., -lumbus. Ohio, to come to Universal City three years ago. She simply left out the middle initial "M". which stands for Mavourneen.
 Kathleen's mother was a great ad- mirer of the poetry of Mrs. Anne Crawford. so when her daughter was born she gave her the name. Kathleen Mavourneen.
 She is shown with Jack Perrin cele- brating the completion of ''The Lion Man"

King; also charges that the monarch was backing the slave trade, and had melted reasonable insurrections among our fellow citizens"
 It was decided that the tyranny business was sufficiently covered in other parts of the document; that it was. inappropriate for the Congress to condemn instructions while itself starting a full-hedged rebellion; and that the accusation of backing slavery would not carry much weight while American colonies in the South were actively engaged in black birding op- erations on large scale.
 A resolution declaring the freedom of the Colonies from the British yoke was passed July 2, 1776-not unani- mously, however, two New York dele gates and one from Delaware voting Nay Two days later the formal Dec laration of Independence was adopted and signed by John Hapeock.
 Not until August 9 were any other signatures attached to it. On that day fifty members signed Richard Henry Lee and two others added their autographs in September Colonel Me Kean signed five years later, and there were seven delegates who never did sign, for one reason or another.
 The signing on August is said to have been hastened by biting flies from a nearby livery stable, which invaded the room where the ceremony was go- ing on, and ferociously bit the silk stockinged legs of the dignified gentle men assembled.
 When The Bell Cracked
 In the meantime there had been a great celebration in Philadelphia, with bon fires and firing of guns, the great bell in the tower of Independence Hafl
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-07-04

being rung continuously for two hours. The rejoicing was too strenuous for the bell which then suffered the crack that may still be seen.
 The bell is of bronze. It was cast | ip England, and landed at Philadel- phia in 1852. On the voyage it was so badly damaged that it had to be recast after it's arrival. When this was done, there was bestowed upon it a prophetic inscription, Proclaim Liberty throughout the Land to all the Inhabitants thereof" That meant something, later on.
 During the Revolution the bell was sunk In the Delaware River, to pre- vent the British from getting hold of it. After the war it was restored to the belfry of Independence Hall, which, by the way. was built in 1734 for the Pennsylvania Colonial Govern ment, at cost of BPS. S.000-an ex- travagant sum, people thought at the time, to spend on public building.
 It was purely coincidence, but rather an odd one, that the fourth of July should likewise have been the date on which California declared it's independence. Another curious fact in the same connection is that, if this step had been postponed for only few days,- Great Britain would have seized California (possession of which she greatly coveted), giving rise to mo- body knows what subsequent interna- tional quarrels.
 In 1S45 Capt. John c. Fremont, sur named the Pathfinder. was sent by the government to explore the Pacific Coast region, of which at that time very little was known. He was on his, way from California to Oregon when overtaken by an army officer who

 He had always been more or less of an actor, even as boy, and in early manhood the lure of the stage drew him. His magnetic personality. roI- licking disposition, and love of the life made him immediately popular For panies, and then screen*managers at tracted by his work, sought him.
