War Waif In Pictures.

THE name Philippe De Lacy in a
hotion picture cast seems to
create the mental impression that it's
owner is a foppish young movie Mer-
ton, who runs to elongated cigarette
holders, freak tailoring innovations
and an overwhelming but futile de-
sire for camera close-ups. The very
name, itself, has a note of affectation
that seems to prepare the spectator
for a vision of masculine daintiness.
AS a matter of fact, the first name
IS anything but an affectation. Its
owner is youngster of little more
than five years, who has seen more
history in the making than probably
the whole of Hollywood. For, be it
known. Philippe De Lacy was born
into this world under particularly
trying circumstances at a time when
the German artillery was reducing
the French town of Nancy to powder.
Phillippe's father was already dead
before Philippe had reached his first
<year; war had taken more bitter toll
In the death of his mother. In fact,
member Of his family, and Philippe
was the only name he seemed to pos
sess at a time when he was found
and cared for by the American
.Women's Overseas Hospital contingent.

ing to the number of scenes in which
each girl appears. Sixty girls, most
of whom have never been on the stage
before. Will be affected by the plan.
AS there are twenty eight scenes in
the production, in eighteen of which

cause of the sensational success

Abraham Lincoln. Cd.

WHEN Robert Todd Lincoln son OF
Abraham Lincoln, is gathered
to his fathers, the line of Lincoln
through the martyr President will
have ended. for the only child OF
Robert Todd Lincoln, who might have
perpetuated the line, passed away in
early youth, and there was no other
issue.
Few know that there ever was an
Abraham Lincoln, End, and still fewe,

of his brief but entirely Lincolnesque
life, for Abraham Lincoln, I'd, was the
true grandson of his illustrious
grandfather.
The story, which should be known
to every boy in the world, was re-

The little boy, though christened
Abraham at his birth, was called
JACK by his parents and relatives and
was so known to his playmates. He
strangely resembled his grandfather
that great mans sterling character
and courage.
At an early age Jacks father be-
gan TO tell him stories of his grand
1ather'S life, and later. when the boy
mad reached an understanding age
IT was explained to him that, though
mis- name was Abraham, he would not
be permitted to assume the name un.
til he had proved his worthiness te
bear 1t.
On his twenty first birthday the
decision was to be made by hi,
father, so Jack, eager to win the
honor of so illustrious a name, made
study of his grandfather's life, and
very soon the wisdom and philosophy
of the martyr President became the
rule of conduct of the boys life
Like Abraham Lincoln, 1st, Jack was
popular with his fellows and a gooI
example to them, too, for he was fail

D OBERT EDESON became an actor
to win a 500 bet.
His father, who was on the stage
for many years, DID not wish him to
fellow the same profession, so the
rather reserved and reticent lad en-
tered the business end of the theater.
One day the stage director came
in the office tearing his hair because
one of his favorNes had broken his
acting contract.
Edeson, who was busy trying to
add up a column of figures, paused in
his work and jokingly remarked that
If he didn't stop crying about 1t he
would have to take the part himself.
The director offered to bet him 500
that he was afraid to appear before
an audience; Robert Edeson promptly
covered 1t, and made good as an actor,
which capacity he has filled ever
since.
