------.e---- SONGS CHARMED POLICE

For singer to sing is one thing; for singer to be arrested as pick
 pocket is another. Therefore the
 name of Luciano Coccia may be miss- cut in few days at New York town hall, when Giuseppe Mauro and his pupils give song recital. Siglpr Mauro was dubious the other day of the advisability of presenting
 Luciano to a music loving public
 which might be swayed in its appre- citation of his voice by the memory placed on years probation by Mag istrate Bruce Cobb.
 "The arrest" said Signor Mauro the other day in his studio, Ifs not so good for the concert"
 Signor Mauro discovered Luciano about two months ago in the restau rant of his friend, Angelo Capellina at Rockaway Beach. They were sit ting one night at table winding spaghetti around their forks when above the chatter of dishes in the
 kitchen rose the pure, sweet tenor of Luciano Coccia.
 "Che bellissima voce." breathed Sig nor Mauro.
 Luciano was summoned from. among
 the pots and pans. and 1t was ar
 ranged that Signor Mauro would cul- tiyate his voice free of charge and that Luciano would appear for this cultivation three times week. Then fare played a. dirty trick on Luciano. It put him in a crowded subway station and had someone ac- ouse him of jostling and trying to pick women's pockets. The police took him to headquarters. Luciano tried to tell his captors he was sim ger. He tried several times. But Luciano doesn't speak English and the police who were about did not speak Italian. There was only one thing to do. Luciano did 1t. He sang.
 The night may come when Luciano may be melodious Samson singing In the garden with Lelilah. My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice." He may sing to crowded Metropolitan opera house. but never will Luciano sing to a more rapt and appreciative audience than he had that night at police head
 quarters. They kept him singing half the night.
 For the moment, however, his fu- ture "Bravas!" are almost inaudible
 because "the arrest" in the opinion of Signor Mauro, lis not so good for the concert."-New York Tribune.

Early Day Managers "Did Not Care
 EspecinlIyv For Miss PIekfnrd

Especinliy'' For Miss Pfekford
 Several years before I walked into the theatre which inspired me with my idea. Mary Pickford was working under Mir. Griffith in the Biograph con. pany, which, you will remember. was unit in the trust. Then she was not a star. She was getting $25 week, and the most vivid reflection of those early days of hers is afford ed by woman who used to work with her.
 How well I remember her." this woman has told me, "as she sat there in theshabby old Biograph offices. | She nearly always wore plain little blues dress with a secondhand piece of fur about her throat"
 Not long ago l asked MT. Griffith this question: Did you have any idea in those days that Mary Pickford was destined for such colossal sue cess" His answer was a decided negative.
 You understand, of course" he i'm mediately qualified, my find was al- ways on the story-not on the star. However, l can say this: It was due l to me that Miss Pickford was re- tained at all, for the mana agement did not care for her especially. To speak | plainly they thought she was too chubby"
 CHI IOW dppIOdCHlUS d pHdSe Ol the noted panton.imists career which points to many adventures in which 1 myself have been involved. When Mary Pickford first went with MT. Zukor he paid her $500 a week. Her success was so marked that before her contract had expired he volun- tarily raised this to a thousand dol lars. After this-but l am anticipat- ing.
 Whenever I saw MT. Zukor looking homeless as a small town man in house cleaning time I knew what was the matter.
 How much does she want now?" l used to ask him laughingly.
 We're fixing up the contract" he would answer with significant lift of the eyebrows.
 It often took longer to make one of Mary's contracts than it did to make one of Mary's pictures. Yet. | strangely enough, the beneficiary herself took no hand in the enter prise. The warfare of clauses was waged entirely by her mother and her lawyer. Indeed, MT. Zukor has often told me that Mary Pitkford had never asked him for cent.
 Then how do you know she's dis contented?"I once inquired of him. How does she act?'
 Like perfect lady" responded Mir. Zukor stoically.
 I made no comment, but have al ways understood that one of the ad- vantages of being a perfect lady is that you can create certain atmos- pheer without creating the basis for any definite accusations.-"Beh the Screen" by Samuel Goldwyn. | Doran.)

LANGUAGE PROVES AGE

It is said that in North and South America no less than 120 or 130 abso- lutely distinct languages exist. As the growth of languages Is slow, it is thought that the fact of the ex- istence of so great variety of speech on the western continents proves that the native red men have inhabited them for many thousands of years. Another proof of the anti quity of the American Indians, ac- cording to some authorities, is the fact that they represent distinct human type, and the formation of such a type requires thousands of Years-CleYeland Plain Dealer.
