one of the best lines of my part was
found. When we were travelling to
Washington few weeks ago some-
body asked the man from Hickson's,
Inc, IL he was married, and he re-
Piled Me? No. Why, / have no
time, even for lunch Fanny Hatton,
who, with her husband. Frederick
Hatton, is the author of lombard,
Ltd heard the remark and ex-
claimed: That goes right into the
play, it is too good to miss. And
into thep lay it went"
And, by the way, the Hattons. hus-
band and wife, are two of the very
cleverest people l ever knew. They
are writing a new play for me now
isn't that splendid? Mrs. Hatton Is
one of the most wonderful women in
the world, with a very keen sense OF
humor and great big intellect. She
always sees the funny side of every
thing, especially OF human character,
and she Is always making notes, men,
tally, on people she meets for plays
she intends to write. She is such a
sharp observer that L do not think
that She misses anything worth
while"
And the best part of a play like
lombard, Ltd which Frederick and
Fanny Hatton have written, and
about any play as for that matter, the
thing that makes it a 'go'--is the
truth that is in 1t. You might write
play about something which no
body knows anything about, as, for
example. the Esquimaux. And yet, IL
it was true in relation to human ma
ture, the play-going public would ap-
preciate it just as much as If it was
a play about themselves. The thing
about lombard, Ltd which is ir-
resistible is that it is true to life
right here"

Paddy the Beaver.
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS

Gentle Mistress Moon, flooding the
pond of Paddy the Beaver with silvery
light, looked down on as peaceful a
scsns as was to be seen anywhere in
all the Great World. There was no
sound. 1t was so still that the rustic
of q single dry leaf would have
seemed a loud noise. Blacker spots
among the Black Shadows. Honker
the Gose and his flock slept a little
way from the shore where no enemy
could reach them. They were very
tired. for they had flown many. many
miles the day before. They needed
to rest, for they still had hundreds of
miles to fly to reach the place in the
Sunny South where they would spend
the winter.
Could you have been there you
would never have guessed that there
were any living things about save
the trees, for ii is doubtful II you
would have seen those Geese in the
Black Shadows. But II you couldn't
have seen them, there were other eyes
that could and did. for things were
not at all as they seemed. At differ
ent places along the shore, eager,
hungry eyes were fixed on those big
sleeping birds-the eyes Of FOWLER the
Bob Cat and of Old Man Coyote and
of Reddy and Mrs. Fox and of old
Granny Fox. And back little way
was big Buster Bear listening instead
OF watching.
And there was another who was
watching and listening, only this one
was out in the water. 1t was Paddy
the Beaver. And Paddy knew that
peaceful as that scene seemed dread
full things might happen there, for
kis nose had told him where each of
those hungry watchers was. So Paddy
was keeping watch. for he did not
dare go ashore to work as he want
ed to.
Il suppose I could waken those
Geese and warn them" thought
Paddy. But IL l waken them they
probably will worry and lose sleep
and / guess they need all the sleep
they can get. AS long as they keep
away from the shore they will be safe
enough. I'll just keep watch. 1t will
be time enough to give them warning

when there is any real danger"
So Paddy crept up on the roof of
his house and sat there in the black
est of Black Shadows. He could see
the sleeping Geese, for they were very
near Paddy's house, and he could just
make out the shore. For a long, long
time Paddy sat there without moving.
But all the time he was using his ears
and his nose as well as his eyes. His
eyes told him nothing, for no one ex-
cepting the Geese was to be seen. His
ears told him nothing, for there was
not SO much as the rustic of leaf.
But now and then his nose caught Just
the faintest of smells from the shore,
and he knew that Yowler and Old Man
Coyote and the Foxes were patiently
watching.
By and by some wandering Little
Night Breezes happened along and
made tiny ripples, silvery little rip
pies, on the water. These little rip
pies ran toward the shore and after
while Paddy noticed that couple
of those sleeping Geese, the two that
were ldilHtSL away from MS mousse
were slowly but surely drifting to-
ward shore. The silvery little rip
Piles were gently pushing them that
way.
Some one else saw this, too. 1t was
FOWLER the Bob Cat. crouching on the
shore right opposite those two big
birds. His funny stub of a tail began
to witch. His eyes grew more fierce
than ever. Once or twice he licked
his lips.
Without making sound Paddy
slipped into the water, dived and
finally popped his head out of the
water close to those two drifting
Geese. But he took care to keep in
the blacklist of the Black Shadows
Slowly, very, very slowly those two
Geese drifted in toward the shore.
Paddy watched. a little more would
bring them into shallow water
Paddy knew Yowler we'll enough to
be sure that even though he did hate
wet feet he wouldn't hesitate to spring
just as soon as one of those Geese
would be within jumping distance
Slap" Paddy's tail came down on
the water with a report like a terrible
gun. In an instant all those Geese
were wide awake and swimming to-
ward the middle of the pond. There
was a splash in the shallow water
just behind two of those frightened
Geese. and then a screech of rage.
FOWLER had been just too late.

while l was drawing cartoons for the
San Francisco Examiner ] began to
DO entertaining at clubs and parties,
telling stories in Chinese dialect at
first, with the result that old John
morrisey, then manager of the Or
pheum theatre, induced me to go into
vaudeville, and there 1 remained for
good many years, travelling the
world over with my act
"One OF the most valuable things
learned in vaudeville was to rely ON
my own resources. When you have
to depend entirely on yourself to en-
terrain an audience. you develop all
the talent you have. The audienca
worked on talent like a magnet
drawing 1t out of you and at the same
time teaching you. The best teachet
for the actor in the world Is the audi
ence II you will only learn and study"
Soon after l entered vaudeville 1
found out that the only way to get
anything from an audience in the way
of enthusiasm was to give it to them.
The response of an audience to the ap-
peal Of the actor Is in direct proper
ton to the force the actor puts into
his appeal. 1t is a mathematical ra-
ito, which always holds true and
works but the same way"

ten and too little will not get 1t over

values in lines can only be acquired
by years of work on the stage, and 1
think that vaudeville is one of the
best places to get the experience. The
comedy lines of every part in 'Lom-
bardi, Ltd" all get over wonder
fully"
Where did you learn to design a
gown and drape a model-like a pro-
fessional dressmaker, as you do In
Lombard, Ltd" asked curiously.
Let me tell you about that Mr.
