EDITH ROBERTS.

Ladies! You are quite re spectively urged to try this over on your sewing machines!
 It is an engaging frock of golden rod brocaded satin, with under dress of gentian blue chiffon The style is simpIe-just a loop here a fold there, a couple of dependable stitches-and, presto, its done and ready for your nert evening affair! The fan is of ostrich pIumes, of gen tan blue, and the same hue in satin slippers and stockings makes a earning com biaatiOn-
 The lady who wears the above becoming costume is Edith Rob- erLs, of the Universal fold. She is really ''vest-pocfzet edition" of a movie star, as she is just five feet tall, and is often referred to as |-IIer F'iVe-FoO5 Highuess.'' Her hair is golden brown, and her eyes are dark, so you can see that the toilette above will suit her well.
 Miss i:oberts w:is born in New York, educated there, and went into pictures first via Lyons and Moran She didn't stay with them long, though. and now she has made many claims to fame.
 Sone of her pictures were as co-Star with Frank Mayo in Las ca,'' in "The Trif1ers,' ''The Adorable Savage White Youth" and ''The Fire Cat" her latest. She is now working on 'EThe Unknown Wife, which is giving her splendid dramatic op- portuniteS.
 Edith lives in Hollywood, along with all the other screen celebrities, getting up this way rather seldom. She did visit New York last winter, though, and she had a, wonderful time, buying new frocks and hats and danclng-tor that is her favorite indoor sport!

by 10 O'Clock the alley In the rear OF the
theater was jammed with men trying
to get to the stage door first. They
came from Woodberry and Canton,
from Guiford and Roland Park, some
in overalls and some wearing spats.
Some were shaved and some unshaved.
some coming to the Job for sheer want
of money and others because they
wanted a chance to get on the stage.
1t wasn't very long before twenty
men were selected and told they were
to be soldiers OF a Danish king In
"Hamlet.| This afternoon they Will
be italian atmosphere" in 'The Mer-
chant OF Venice"
The men will be paid 81 q perform
ance, and from the hard-luck stories
which some of them recited they Will
need that money. One man, after he
found that the positions were filled.
asked Mr.. Dryden for car fare home.
saying he had walked from tho lower
part OF Canton In search Of the Job
and that he was too tired to walk
back. There were others, however,
who drove up in machines. and even
one of that coterie pleaded with the
stage manager for a Job, saying his
car was his last yestige of wealth.
Most of the applicants, according to
Manager Dryden. were not "those
crazy fellows who think they can
act" but they were men who really
needed the job and the money.
