RUTH CLIFFORD

Ruth Clifford, the 10. year old
Frohman star, was born at Paw
tucket, Rhode Island. She was an
orphan at IL years of age, but she
was a lucky orphan, because two
young ambassadors of her mother
Catherine and Gertrude Valerie
(also active in the motion picture
world--Miss Catherine playing
under the name of Wallace) took
her In charge, giving her loving
care. They all live together at
Hollywood, California.
Before taking up her home In
California, Miss Clifford first at

While going to and from her
home TO the Academy. she passed
the Edison studio on Decatur Ave-
nue.. The moving pictures produc-
ed there aroused her keenest In
terest.
Almost every day, as she passed
the studio. she peeped through
holes in the fence, trying TO get a
glimpse OF the actors and movie
scenes. Her enthusiasm for the.
movies was born right there.
One day the Edison director saw
her looking through a hole in the
fence, and being impressed with
her beauty, asked her II she would
like to trv TO al part in a motion.

"The Invisible Ray" deals with the
discovery OF an unknown force, the
use of which could either wreck the
universe or act as a panacea for
every known ailment 1t comes in
to the possession of band of crimi
nal scientists, known as CRIME
CREATORS" but 1t is impossible
for them to use 1t without pos
sessing the formula. In the pro
ductiop, the identity OF the five
principal characters is unknown,
and the climax of the story is re-
garded as the most astounding
revelation ever seen in serial.
1t took 81 weeks to film this great
picture,

PANTS.

Pants are q natural monopoly re-
served by law for the sole use and
establishment of man. They are
found wherever men are reasonably
civilized, and, while not beautiful,
they are a great comfort and one
with which not even a man with
beautifully moulded and Apollo-like
legs would think of dispensing.
Pants consist of double1barreled leg
holders, surmounted by a capacious
dome, the whole being affixed to the
wearer by means of s~uspenders which
go over the shoulders and cause I'M
limited grief and embarrassment by
dissolving into component corpora
lions without warning at critical mo-
ments. The suspenders are attached
to the waistband or equator of the
pants. The waistband Is the most
important feature OF a mans cloth
ing. 1t is a sort of sartorial scales.
Man doesn't mind his waist measure
until 1t gets over forty, but after that
he views 1t with dismay and refuses
pie with tears in his eyes.
Pants are of many styles and mod
els. The Turk wears peculiar knee
pants with ten-bushel legs. The Hol-
lander wears pants in layers, peeling
them of like onion nusks one at a
time as the weather lightens up in
the spring. The Englishman wears
loose pants made to fit a step ladder
and turns them up at the bottom
enough to allow his feet to escape.
The college boy wears bifurcated bal
looms called pegtop trousers. The
minister va shiny black trousers
with padded knees. Sometimes a
wife wears the trousers of a family.
but only fguratively. The law for
bids her to wear the actual pants,
but remains ing~loriously silent con.
corning the conversational ones.
5 Our forefathers wore knee breeches
made of silks and %satins, which were
SO expensive that their wives had to
dress plainly.e Boys, baseball players
and diplomats in Europe still wear
knee pants.

has any captain of industry had a
chance to get at him.
There is a vast social gulf between
the men who throw their pants away
when they wear out and those who
equip them with large, substantial
patches. The highest grade of pants
are neatly creased and are kept
without wrinkles with great care. An
Irishman can raise eleven children
and equip them with clothes made
out of his old pants on the money
spent by a society man in keeping
his trousers permanently and vocif-
erously creased. 100
