All of these methods are good.

All of these methods are good.
 But they aren't what Miss Eliza beth Finder of Birmingham did. Let her tell you what
 She began to fry eggs.
 Well ain't that just the natural est thing you ever heard or in your life," mumurs peanut gallery fan. Cute little idee. Who'd thought of that"
 Well, that's the way Betty figured it out--for most everybody calls her Betty because they just can't helf it. And she has already had three motion picture engagements She fried the eggs in mountain cabin.
 Said Betty to herself:
 sWen, I'm d girl actor right out of the wilds of Birmingham and what I want to do is to be teetotally, ever lastingly natural. I've got to make good for my home town, and I'm tired of hearing people say actresses don't look natural.
 1T just knew could fry an egg in a skillet if 1t was any old egg at all, l knew I could keep my eye right on 1t, and turn it over and look at what I was doing all the tlme. I wasn't pasticularly crazy about frying eges, put knew nobody on earth could state that it didn't at least look hu- man, and wouldn't remind somebody of something he had seen before. And | had to do something to make me and inc scene seem natural" So I settled on eggs"
 And that's what I must say--every- body told mo when the picture ap- peared that it didn't seem I spent much time along The River of Ro- nance" watching the little photo- ,,,l,i ir of the inStru- mentS.
 If you don't know Betty it's too bad Shes a good scout; she's every body's friend; and she'd go mighty long way to do you favor.

 And listen how hard little sitl has worked to get her opportunities.
 She answered an advertisement once and went all the way out to Colorado and the Pacific coast to work three weeks in a character part.
 She entered local newspaper con test getting subscriptions that she might have three glorious months with the Essanay people. who were to film the winner in an Alabama play.
 In the Denver contract, she took the part of gypsy girl. in the news paper picture the character of a mountain child.
 third opportunity came to her from Pathe just recently She got the job, but at the last minute lost it because she couldn't swim.
 Gee, that was the worst blow l ever had. But believe me the mo- ment their man left town l started out to learn to swim, and in two weeks I could get across the whole Warrior river and vicinity"
 Betty has thousand "reminiscences of the movie days. She lives them all over again, and her home Is q regular picnic ground for the family, She does everything from dress like a rag doll to yamping the family cal
 Every rug on the place has ueer lugged about to do duty either as d sofa throw, a tapestry piece or a train to. an unusual gown. She is everything from Flora tinch to curly z eyed Janet of the variety show.
