NOT A SHIFTER.

Doris May, who was told to look and
act as flapperish as she could in Gay

didn't go the limit in her makeup. We
lamped a projection room showing of
the film yesterday, and Miss May
doesn't even wear one single paper

Maybe the Shifter fooishness has
not reached the Coast, but surely Miss
May must have heard of its Brooklyn
activities. and she sure looks strange
in her flapperest of flapper outfits
without the absurd badge of the
Shifter.
1t is understood that a committee OF
Shifters from the Gas House District
is going to write Miss May and invite
her to join.

OUR OWN NoTARLEs.

PAINTING BERTHA-Her real
name was Nellie Delmonico Custer,
but her father was a Pullman con-
ductor, so they called her Bertha. At
the age OF seventeen she developed a
habit of fainting on the least provo
cation, when in the vicinity of n
handsome man and, as a result she
had a scar on her left leg caused by
the bite of a dog she fell on one time.
II was Bertha's custom to earn her
living by fainting. "Whoop!" she
would yell, as she began to faint. and
the handsome man would catch her
in his arms and soothe her with kind
~ words. Bertha would recover in a
few minutes and go home, taking a
taxicab and the nice mans watch
and wallet. One day she made the
mistake of fainting and falling into
the arms of plain clothes detective,
who arrested her for ripping three
buttons or his vest. She was sent to
p prison in New Jersey where her
fate was bitter and the mosquitoes
bit her. There she died at the age
of twenty-seven and was buried by an
undertaken whose wife already had
picked his pockets.
