Viola Dana Gives New Authors Tips.
For the benefit of those thousands
of ambitious authors food the
big movie companies with all kinds
of motion picture stories, Viola Dana,
the viyacious little Metro star whose
latest picture, The Match Breaker"
a Dallas NJ. Fitzgerald production,
will be shown at the Strand theatre
today, tells what kind Of stories she
thinks stand the best chance of be-
ing produced.
Miss Dana does not believe the best
results can be obtained by just writ
ing the story regardless of the person
who is supposed to play the part.
The best photoplays today are
those written for the star" emphati-
cally declares Miss Dana. This
helps the actor or actress in being
natural. The principal character
should be drawn as nearly like that
of the one who is to portray it as
possible. Then all the star has to do
is to be herself throughout the picture
and act as she would in everyday life
under similar circumstances"
According to the Peter Pan of the
Screen" some really. good stories
have been given displeasing presenta-
tons because the principals playing
them endeavored to act parts which
had not been written for them with
the result that they gave the impress
sion they were acting and not being
natural-Adv.

Joseph Pulitzer Selected Hls Risnt
Hand Men With Care, and Then
Let Them Alone.

There Ia an old proverb to the ef-
feet that q good boss makes gooo
workman. There must be something
In II. The most successful employ
ers are those who have the most worth
while employees. Part OF the sue
cess, no doubt, is In picking the en-
ployee. Another part perhaps, Is In
letting him alone. II he is worth keep
ing he Is worth trusting.
Joseph Pulitzer never dictated TO
me-" said Samuel G. Blythe, accord
Ing to an exchange. He never toid
me what to write or what not TO.
Only once In my life did he even make
a request Of me-"
Blythe was for years the star man
In the great blind editors Washing
ton bureau. Now and then, as Blytne
explained, Mr.. Pulitzer went to some
trouble TO prove In the editorial col
umn that Blythe was suffering from q
prolapsus Of the intellect. Sometimes
he .massed facts to show that his opin-
ION differed monumentally from thar
of his Washington luminary. But ne
never dictated. said Blythe. Or al
most never. But once he did ask
q favor.
II had been sharpshootins at tns
manner In which a great firm Of arcni-
tects was abusing the exterior OF the
White House." said Blythe. when one
day got a wire from the old man II
ran something like this:
"Unless you have q deep personal
feeling In the matter ! wish you woulo
cease further reference to the rebuild
ing Of the White House. Please un-
derstand this is not criticism OF what
you have written. But the same nrm
Of architects is building house for
me, and II you don't lay on I'll mol
get into It for two years"
Blythe's conclusion was that an en-
ployer Of that sort is fairly sure 70

WHAT REAL VACATION MEANS
Play 10 the Foundation, and That Con-
sIsts Of Doing Anything That
10 Not Work.

A real vacation, If you can get one,
consists Of play, asserts Preston Slos'
son In the New York Independent.
Play Is the opposite Of work. Play Is
whatever Is done for its own sweet
sake. II you build q fire to- warm
yourself or to cook q dinner you are
at work.
II you build bonfire because you
like to see sparks redden against the
sable background of the night you are
at play. II you dance to Improve
your waistline or to learn q new step
you are working.
II you dance because you lust
can't make your feet behave" when
the orchestra starts, you are playing
II you 60 fishing to catch fish you
are as much at work as II you were
building bridges or writing editorials
to make money. If you 60 fishing In
the true fisherman's spirit you won't
care much whether they bite or not
The vacation mind Is a law unto
itself. II 1t enjoys an occupation II
keeps on while the enjoyment lasts,
thought every fiber Of the tired body
may be shouting quit"
II 1t ceases to enjoy an occupation
II stops at once, though 1t create con-
sternation all around. A real vaca'
don Is a trip into fairyland. where
the natives never heard Of duties OF
obligations and the only law Is dc
what you really like"

RULED LONG IN WILDERNESS
Colin Rankin, Recently Deceased, Was
Fifty Years With the hudson's

Colin Rankin, who died In Montreal
recently at the age Of ninety-four, was
the first native Canadian to enter the
service Of the Hudson's Bay company.
After a half-century in the company's
employ, this patriarch Of the fur trade

He was taken into the Hudson's Bay
eompany's service In 1S4S by Sir

peror governor" Sir George was one
Of the ablest Of the long line OF COVER
nors that began in 1910 with Prince
Rupert, famous champion Of the house
of Stuart IN Cromwellian wars. Under
him, the company was merged with
the North West company. which for
years had been its deadly rival In the
fur trade. Under him. too, the COM
pany reached its meridian OF power
and dominion and ruled three-fourths
OF the North American continent
Mr.. Rankin's service was almost ex-
clusively In eastern Canada. he was
In charge Of posts at Mattawa. La
chine, st. Maurice. Kickendatch, Ber-
simis, Saguenay, Simcoe and Tennis
kaming. He was chief factor over the
Lake Superior district and the Ottawa
river district. He was known for his

career, which missed but six years OF
rounding out a century. was an epic
Of the wilderness adventure.

It had hung on for long time. In the

cold that added to his discomfort.
When he had finally recovered from

One morning, as he started out he

an alarm clock. Its bell was ringing
like everything. This was to wake the
Old Folks up.
First, he called the roll. to see II
they were all up and awake. Then,
he began 70 pick the presents on the
tree.
Soon the room was gay with dolls,
horns and jumping jacks.
A doll was riding In her carriage
sQueaking and rising up every few rect
as she rode along.
There was q talking doll too. She
sang and talked when they pushed the
buttons on her dress.
There were hot dolls for cold nights
and cups and balls for the Old FOLKS
to play with when they could not
sleep.
The Old Folks all played with their
presents. They blew on their horns.
and amused themselves with the jump
ing-jacks, and sent the moving toys
running about the room all at once.
But after all, the Old Folks thought
lt wasn't 90 very much fun because
there were no real children there. So
they sent out to see II they could find
some.
They found Lucy. Peter, Billy. Mary,
Sally, Hilda, Ruth, and some other
children, who all came to see the
Old Folks Christmas tree.
Lucy told the Old Folks the story
about her dog Trump.
Trump was tramp dog. but ne
could do some tricks. He loved to be
dressed up In a blanket, with belt.
Then. with q beribboned straw hat
on his head, he would walk across
the room upon his hind legs.
After Lucy came Peter.
Peter said that he did not know any
stories. but once he carried the hag
for the big boys baseball team, and
they let him go In to see the base
ball game. free.
Then Billy told story.
He said that once he sat up all
night, waiting for Santa Claus to come
and Ill his stocking. That is, he
tried to sit up all night; but Santa
Claus didn't come and so he fell asleep
In the dark. The next day the doctor
came to see him. The doctor told him
he had had "stockingitis."
Billy said, too, that when he woke
up In the early morning and found
that Santa Claus had forgotten to ali
his stocking. he was going to throw
himself on the floor and pound his
heels on Il and holler. But then he

Cherry and Plum Trees.

Can you positively distinguish be-
tween q cherry tree and plum tree
In the spring Of the year before the
trees carry fruit? You may think
that you can. yet, so similar are some
cherry and plum trees that eventual
u you will surely fail unless you en-
ploy the simple rule that trained hor'
ticulturists follow. That one tnfall-
ible guide Is this: The leaves Of the
cherry. both in the bud and just after
emerging from the bud, are folded to
gether like the pages In a book, while
those Of the plum. are rolled up like
a magazine. And, by the way, the
leaves Of the peach are folded like
those Of the cherry, and the leaves
Of the apricot are rolled like those
