scenes have occurred about this
ancient estate, particularly during
the Revolutionary war. and Mrs.
Mumford thinks the spooks may
have come into being about that
time. One she tells about is a
ghost with a penchant for going
to the attic and hauling furniture
across the river. Another ghost
sometimes signals across the salt
meadow nearby with a lantern,
and sometimes a third ghost waves
a spectral lantern in reply from
the bog hedge of another house a
quarter of a mile away. Just how
and why these things happen, Mrs.
Murford does not attempt to guess.
1nasmuch as Mrs. MumfOrd To-
Gated the scenes of her story in and
about this old homestead, Director
Robert G. Vignola took his actors
out there and made his eXteriors
on the spot
The principal roles are portrayed
by Matt Moore. George Parsons,
Gladys Leslie Mabel Bert and
Henry Sedley.

SINGER MIDGET SHOWN
IN BIG FILM. SKIRTS"
NOW AT THE PASTTME,

Skirts" a six-act Fox Sunshine
comedy, which is said to have been
produced on so lavish a scale that
nine months were required to COM
plete it, is the offering at the Pas
time theater today for four days.
Usual comedy standards were
completely thrown into the discard
when Skirts" was produced. In
place of one or two stars, not less
than IL of the most prominent film
comedy players Of note appear. In
place of the dozen or so bathing
beauties, 5000 of the Fascinating
Sunshine Widows prance their
way through the scenes, clad in
creations calculated to make the
eyes of the fair sex smart with
envy.
Slap stick was laid aside for sit
uations. Comedy was generously
blended with thrills. Airplanes,
cyclones, train wrecks, auto smash
ups, parachute drops were used,
for their share of excitement and
fun. And, as if these were not
sufficient, William Fox, head of
the Fox Film corporation, closed
the season of one of the biggest
circus aggregations in the country,
brought it to his Los Angeles stu
dos and incorporated it into the
production.
The entire troupe of Singer
Midgets, famous the world over as
one of the most distinct novelties
seen on the vaudeville circuits, was
specially engaged by William Fox.
The Singer Midget troupe consists
of 10 tiny men and women, each
specially artist in some branch OF
bright, clean entertainment. Sew
eral male members are phenom-
enaI stunt and strong men.
Besides the Midgets themselves,
Mr.. Fox has secured the entire an
imal train of this troupe, as well
as the complete special equipment
carried by the Singer company on
it's vaudeville tours. These animals
are all trained by the Midgets per-
sonally. and add greatly to the at
tractiveness of Skirts" Among
these animals are four elephants,
16 ponies, one small donkey, deer
with fawn, eight fox hounds and

Questions and Answers.
Dear Larry:--I have heard own
ers Of several stock cars contend
they have driven mile track in
one minute flat. Is this possible?
H. j.
Answer. Yes. it is possible. but
not very apt to happen often as the
wheelbase of stock cars is such
that they prevent fast execution of
the turns.
Dear Stone:-Is there a stock
car manufactured called Dart p
J. J..
A. No; there is truck. how,
ever. named Dart manufactured in
Waterloo, Iowa.
Dear Larry:-What do you con-
slider the fastest half mile and fast
est mile track in the country
l.. p. ].
A. The fastest half mile track
have ever encountered was at
Crown Point, Ind. The half mile
tracks at, Billings, Mont, and Bur-
lington, Iowa, have splendid con-
struction for the size but have
never been in shape for fast dirt
track racing. Maxwellton. st. Louis,
is considered the fastest mile. track
in the country, hut probably will
not be in shape this year for rae
ing. Several western tracks of
mile size in the extreme west and
Pacific section are also very fast.
