with a road company of ''The Awakenlng of Helena Ritchie." All during this period he retained the idea that he was a writer, and nu- merous vaudeville acts of more or less success bear him out. The one really big stage effort that emanated from Author Seitz was
 'The Kings Came in which James k- Hackett was seen for two seasons.
 For the last eight years he has been associated with the cinema un- der the banner of Pathe Exchange, Inc, and it is this period that stamps him as the George M Conan of the screen. For Pathe he has written lit orally miles and miles of serial films and in this connection it is to be par ticularly noted. that he personally directed the famous Pearl White in her best known serials. It was during the filming of the serial, "The Black Secret" based on Robert w. Chambers novel Tn Secret that Mr. Seitz made his debut as a screen ac- tor.
 This was the beginning of new phase in the Seitz career. The next serial MT. SeitZ made, he calmly an- Mir. Seitz himself. and it was so or dered. The next serial, called Bound and GaggedI' made a real star of Seitz almost overnight. Un- him doing anything more strenuous than stand at the transmitting end of a directors megaphone, George B.. was a trained athlete and gymnast. His screen performances were mark ed by an almost inhuman disregard for his own personal safety, and he has become the stunt star" par ex- ceIlence.
 But it was during the past summer that MT. Seitz gave real evidence of his multiplicity, so to speak. While finishing t'Velvet Fingers he was writing a five-reel feature "Rogues and Romance" which was to star himself again. When all was ready he took company of eight persons away to Spain where he made all the eXteriors.
 It's a far cry from a Greenwich Village studio and lunch for three provided by the sale of a pair of old trousers to a place at the top of the motion picture producing ladder, but George B. Seitz has realized it, and even now he is barely thirty-five years old He is the head and handspring of George B. Seitz, Inc, which pro- duces Pathe serials and such other screen offerings as the initiative of its founder can suggest. He owns a couple of Iimousines, a Long Island summer home and a New York City winter home. In addition to this, he | has a wife and two children, with | all of whom he lives when he isn't piloting one of his companies through the mazes of a thriller

What use was it for me, a. wretched cripple, to go back to England or to make myself known to my old coIh- rades? Even my wish for revenge rather that Nancy and my old pals should think of Hairy Wood as nay ing died with a straight back, than see him living and crawling With a stick like a chimpanzee. They never doubted that I was dead. and meant that they never should. I heard that Barclay had married Nancy, and that he was rising rapidly in the res1rnent but even that did not make me speak,
 tsBut when one gets old one mas longing for home. or years I've been dreaming of the bright green fields and the hedges of EngIand- Al last I determined to see them peIore I died. I saved enough to bring me across. and then I came here where the soldiers are, for l know thelr ways and how to amuse them and so earn enough to keep me"
 ''Your narrative S most 1mTeIeS1, IiT a1o already heard of your meeting with Mrs. Barclay, and your mutual recog- milton. You then, l underStano, Lol- lowed her home and saw through the window an altercation between her husband and her. in which she doubt less cast his conduct to you 1n his teeth. Your own feelings oVercame you, and you ran across the lawn ana broke in upon them
 sI did, sir, and at the sight of me he looked as have never seen a man look before, and over he went with his head on the fender But he was dead before he fell read death on his face as plain as can read that text over the fire. The bare sight of me was like a bullet through his guilty heart"
 .sAnd then?"
 eeThen Nancy tainted. and I caught up the key of the door from her hand, intending to unlock it and get help. But as I was doing it is seemed to me better to leave it alone and get away, for the thing might look black against me, and anyway my secret would be out if I were taken. In my haste I thrust the key into my pocket, and dropped my stick while I was chasing Teddy, who had run up the curtain When got him into his box, from which he had slipped, I was off as fast as I could run.''
 Who's Teddy?'' asked Holmes
 The man leaned over and pulled up the front of kind of hutch in the corner. In an instant out there slipped a beautiful reddish-brown creature, thin and 1.-the, with the legs of a stoat, a long, thin nose, and a pair of the finest red eyes that ever I saw in an animals head

by myself. Sometimes only can cry when they play music. I don't know the name of the piece, but it is sad music. They play. it on the stage when the princess is dying. In 'Hu- moresque'' I didn't even have music. The director just talked to me, and cried. I cried so much my makeup got dirty.
 I use makeup like the rest, but I don't make up my eyes. My mother makes all my clothes because she doesn't want me to look like anyone else. She made the clothes for ''Hu- moresque." It was the cutest part I ever hald- Some boys must kill my kitty and I must cry and then my sweetheart fights them. I am little cripple girl.
 I have played in more things. I played on the stage with Maude Ad- ans, and I was leader of the junior sextet in "F1orodora," and I have been doing pictures since I was three. Once I played with John Barrymore, and once I was Nazimova's little boy. I have just done a picture with Miss Dorothy Dalton.

The grand old name of George has always been associated with doing big things in a big way. Look over the past for a moment. When a certain dragon got rough and threatened tp wreck the party and had to be killed to make him behave, St. George was the man who killed hin. When Eng land became dissatisfied with the manner in which a certain set of her colonies was carrying on, King George the Third hung up his crown back of the pantry door and took remedial measures. You all know what happened to those colonies. When it became incumbent upon somebody to cross the Delaware, George Washington crossed It. when in the course of literary events it was considered meet and just for the novel '.Silas Marner' to be written George Eliot wrote it.
 Conn g down to our own time, there Is one shining example that must not be overlooked. When the American >stage was looking around for man to write the words and music, create all the good lines. design the cos tunes, build the sets, produce the niece. enact the leading role and wave the flag, George NJ. Conan applied for the job and got it. George M. still has it and it is to be hoped that he will continue to have it for many years to come.
 The cinema has its George just as
 
 is George B. Seitz, and in case you don't know who George B. Seitz is, put it down in your ready reference book that he is the George M- Conan of the movies.
 STen years ago the public had never heard of George B. Seitz. A great many magazine publishers were fam liar with the name as one affixed to letters accompanying short story manuscripts They also knew hiS home address, for it was to this ad- iress that they returned most of the manuscripts so submitted George B, lived in Greenwich Village, New Yorll's so-called Latin Quarter, and he ioes not consider it necessary to con zeal the fact that during those days ne was exceedingly hard pressed and siose to the cushion. If it is true that he leopard cannot change his spots, 1t was equally true that George B. could not spot his change. But those iays are all over now Prosperity md Success have grabbed him by the ,ollar of the coat and are hustling him along the lighted way at such , high speed that nothing less than a N,ix-cylinder. nonstop, anti-s&id wolf could even keep him in sight.

AT TIE>SHUBERT,
 NEW HAVEN.

In all the history of stage achieve ments, nothing so thrilling, so dar- ingly beautiful and poetic can be com pared to "Aphrodite'', the mammoth spectacle which F. Ray Comstock and Morris Gest will send to the Shubert, New Haven, for the entire week commencing Monday. New York hocked to it all last season at the Cen tury Theatre, it was the outstand- ing dramatic sensation of the year and before that, Paris paid homage to the shrine of the goddess of Love, imm orta LZed by Pierre LouyS in his novel of the same name.
 Employing a cast of three hundred people and ten scenes of gorgeous beauty, "Aphrodite" is a romance of ancient Egypt, depicting the love of Demetrics, a sculptor of Alexandria, for Chrysis, a famous Galilean courte- gan. Demetrios had modelled statue of Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, of such surpassing beauty that he adores the marble with a hopeless and lure love in which no thought of earthly passion ever enters.
 The play of "Aphrodite" in the original French was the work of
 Pierre Frondaie, and was adapted for
