GETTING RICH.

Mary Piclford's income for two years was s1123.-

mills. making 20 cents an hour would have to toll
e2c5 years to earn as much as Mary gets in two

Then theater is built and Mary can play to
couple of thousand people at each performance Her
income increases abreast of the number she serves
The invention of the moving picture has enabled
Mary to appear before AN unlimited number of audi
ences simultaneously. Each member contributes his
