America--the opportunity to work and

that If the work was good 1t would be
rewarded-that Is what brought forth
the ideas and the creations that Law

When he arrived in New York he
walked the Streets looking for signs

As he learned to speak English he
began to talk with people. and to learn
what work there was to be done. Finally
he got a place with an interior deco

When he had earned and saved suffi- .
cient money from his decorating work
he went to the National Academy of
Design. Here he studied portrait work
under Curran and Frances c. Jones.
From the first he took prizes regularly
monthly awards ranging from IS to
$25.
His rooms are filled with portraits
and figures which he did while attend
ing school. And around him are many
works of his leisure-the time when,

As Boy in Leipzig, He
LOUed to Sketch Fan,iLH

At night. when the family would
be gathered together-the mother and

Then they would all laugh and say
what a funny child he was.
Something to make living BY
that was what he was cautioned to
learn. and so he was put to work paint.
ing fences.
His first attempt at painting a fence
was failure.
The man he worked for took him
aside and explained to him how to
mix paints.
"One never forgets such things,
said Floegel. Zone learns by making
mistakes-but he should never become
discouraged" he added, and his deep
blue eyes shOne with conviction.
II try many things until I get good
result" he explained.
From painting fences he was pro.
NOTED to washing porches and later to
painting furniture.
Then he became sailor and q
painter. He mixed paints-tho art
which he had been so kindly shown
for the sailors and did higher class
painting on the ships.
When he was off duty he made
sketches in water -colors-because that
was cheapest, he said.
As he told about this he took from
disordered heap of paintings many
water color pictures of immigrants with
their bags and baggage and their usual
three. .cornered shawls, pictures which
had delighted captains of ships and
which had brought Floegel to their
notice.
His work as a sailor took him to
England, France and the United States.
He made eighteen trips to America,
with brief stops in Boston and New
York.
II saw America" he exclaimed,

New York and Smyrna. 1t contains
many tense situations, providing
Miss Griffith with excellent opportu-

of expression.
Marcia's employment before her

display the taste and talent which
have won for her the designation
of the best dressed woman on the

of the notable creations in her own

dresses, frocks, gowns and other

she wears gowns selected from

CONSTANCE BiNNEY
COMING NEXT WEEK
IN DRAMA OF THE POOR

Admirers of Constance Binney, the
youthful Realart star. will be glad
to know that Manager Tunstill OF
the Rialto theatre will show her
latest release. First Love-" at his
play house next week, on Wednes-
day only.
First Love" is story OF the
people; story of working girl,
one Of the thousands for whom a
stolen kiss in city park Is the
height of romance, story of girl
whose blind devotion to the wrong
man nearly led her into trouble.
Summing II all up, First Love"
is another of those poignant little
sketches of modern life in which
little Miss Constance Binney has so
often demonstrated the very simple
and human appeal which she pos
sesses.
In a homely simple story of this
sort Miss Binney makes you forget
the ctrO's, frsws you so thorough
ly to tAe 1T of the tale as to
make you one with her--and hence
lies the secret of her very remarka-
BILE and constantly mounting success.

KEEP OEE STAGE IN PICTURE

Corinne Griffith simply cannot
keep off the stage, in spite of her
repeated refusals of engagements off
cred her by producers of musical
comedies. She rather likes the
stage, but does not care to adopt
it as a profession. She thinks that
woman's place is on the screen or
something of that sort.
However, in two months of the fall
season the radiant young Vitagraph
star appeared on the stage OF two
famous New York theatres at spe-
cial performances, in which she once
replaced the star of musical pro-
duction and on the other occasion
appeared as an unframed and timid
chorus girl.
Miss Griffith's latest appearance
on the stage was with the Green

scene was visualized as part of 1T
