Not Very Brave

My grandpa has a fuzzy fat dog
named Fritz. According to Fritz,
Fritz is very brave. He likes to
growl at cats and chase them down
the street and up the trees.

rule cats don't say much, but Asa
says less. He is quiet cat and
does not like to be bothered.
Every once in while Fritz
has been coming over to our house.
He used to growl at Asa. For quite
awhile Asa tried to avoid him.
Fritz thought Asa was afraid of
him, and SO he grew more and
more oyerbearing.
But one day few weeks ago,
Fritz went too far. Asa had raw
meat temper that day. Fritz began
to nag, as usual. Asa flew at him,
and-the way he fought that dog.
1t happened SO quickly that we
couldn't save poor Fritz. In an in
slant he was tearing through the
parlor yelping, with Asa clinging
onto his back and scratching fur
iously.
1t was a long time before Fritz
would come back. One day he did.
We managed to coax him into the
house. He was very suspicious.
but when he could see Asa no
where, he consented to enter. Sud-
denly Asa glided into the same
room.
Did Fritz run? Not he.
He just turned over on his back.

the air, and howled.

would tell ii.
The cunning Stubby took good
care not to let Billy know that he

Billy might not like to be made fun
of, besides his horns were sharp.

Walk out before your audience

Lean forward enough to give suf-

Experience Series at Ditmas.

Edna Wheaton, designated by the
Daily News, of New York, as the
most beautiful girl in New York City,
plays the role of Beauty" in "Ex-
perience," a Paramount picture at
the Ditmas theatre.
Miss Wheaton competed with 5000
other Gotham beauties for the honor
of appearing in Experience" Her
chance to break into the movies
came as the result of the kindness
of a friend who sent her picture to
the newspaper. She is eighteen years
old and had come to New York from
her home In Ithaca, n. Y, to study
music.
Director George Fitzmaurice and
the casting department at the Para
mount eastern studios decided that
some sort of a contest was neces-
sary to get the right girl to play the
part of Beauty" in the picture. All
the stage beauties were more or less
cold and did not fit with Mr.. Fitz-
matrices idea of beauty. Conse-
quently the Daily News was enlisted
in the search for the real American
beauty and Miss Wheaton was the
lucky contestant.
Miss Wheaton was busy for two
weeks with her part having closeup
shots with Richard Barthelmess,

other enc filmed with the remain

Richard Barthelmess was born in
New York City in 1895. His first part

His next pictures were. "Bab's Burg
