MOLLIE WILLIAMS
By ZELDA BEDELL.

they admired her nerve or her good looks never developed, but it proba- ply was a ffty-ffty proposition. Her salary was magniffcent-s15 a week but she didn't get it long. For, three weeks later, the prirna donna of the show was taken i'll, and Mollie was the only one with nerve and ability enough to take her. part and carry it through But she did it so we'll that she was retained as a head liner for the rest of the season.
 The next year Mollie was signed as soubrette, and the following season she was featured in one of the largest bur1esque companies on the road. From then one was simply a series of steps ahead.
 That's Mollie's career to date, and nows she's going over to deah OF Lun- non to knock 'em dead over therei ! Good for Mol1ie! She has our best wishes.
 But, before she goes. she will pay a visit to Bridgeport soon. to say goodbye to her many friends and ad- mirers here. And she has many. for she is a warm-hearted woman who has not been spoiled by success

(Review.)

It's the same old story at the Lyric this week again-a side splitter comedies may come and comedies may go, but those who miss My Lady Friends at the Lyric this week are going to miss one of the real treats of the season. With an addition of two to their number, the PoH Play CTS are really at their best, and if those two painstaking ladies at the box office don't have a busy week it will be no fault of the bill.
 The plot is not a deep one, but it is brimfu1 of laughter from beginning to end, without a chance hardly to recover ones breath between laughs. Miss Amos never played a better part, which can be said for everyone in the cast.
 The announcement that Miss Amos week was the only serious moment during the show While Miss Mary Ann Dentler undoubtedly has a host deared herself to Lyric patrons by her 1ovab1e manner and unaffected personality, and will take with her the best wishes of everyone It is said Miss Amos used to make a wish home out in Ohio, mat she might be- reception she received last night, her wish has come true.

Rocking the Cradle Of
 An Infant Industry

One of the earliest Aln novelties was called Just Feet a a one-reel photoplay in which only the feet and ankles of the various characters were snoWn under the tables in a restaur- ant In this way tense little drama was acted.
 In June. 1895, at Keith's Union square Theatre, New York moving pictures were first shown as part of a recognized theatrical entertainment So wonderful was the discovery con- sfdered that lecturer was employed to precede the showing of dil1ns with an explanation of the method en- ployed-to convince the public that they were not looking upon an optical illusion.
 It is recorded in Moving Picture Worl, that on January 1s, 1910 the first company of actors to go to Cali fornia for the purpose of making pictures left New York. It was a Biograph company and the director studio life as Larry At present the dignity of David Wark Griffith accompanies that same Larry in film publicity.
 Moving pictures became a really l commercial proposition in 1905, be- ginning the era of "store shows, that tor some years marked "the poor
 
 'the movies,' an expression first giv- en currency in Philadelphia. They were called ttstore shows because of their location in otherwise empty or unrentable storerooms fitted with rough benches and "screened'' with a bed sheet.
 | One can readily measure the life of an infant industry by the age of some of those at present concerned in making pictures. None of us have the courage to disclose discuss the age of the actresses, but Myron Selz- nick, who is manager of production for Selznick's photoplays, is not so l bashfu1. He was born twenty-five o years ago and seven years later his father, Lewis J. Se1znick. entered the l motion picture producing business. The elder Selznick now diverts him self by having run off the first film he made-for the sake of the good laugh he gets out of ''the difference" between then and now

 Mollie Williams is-but what's the use? Everybo ody knows Mollie. Per haps everybody doesn't know that she is owner, manager and producer of her own show-and acts in it besides. She does more than act in it-she's the bright and shining star of the whole performance. And, bear this in mind-she the only woman pro- ducer in this branch of the amuse- ment field.

Jacks son, finding the diamond loose in it's ring setting, wrenched it out as a matter of precaution and for a moment placed the stone in his mouth Something took his atten- tion, and when he next thought of the diamond, it was not in his mouth. Certain that he must have swallowed the stone, the clown submitted to the x-ray, which located it, but the dia- mond wasn't in the clowns interior He had dropped the stone from his mouth, and it caught in his vest, where it became concealed by a twist ed seam.
