securing and polishing at the old
fashioned paneS of glass, the PSEUDO
window washer told the barest details
of his reversed circumstances to the
sympathetic young housekeeper.
1t seemed that he. his young wife
and their little boy were living in a
tiny hall bedroom. for which they
had to pay SO weekly for rent. The
child slept each night in the top tray
of the family trunk. The three quar-
ters size bed that his parents occupied
was the only other article of furnf-
ture that 1t had proved possible to
get into their room.
The day being Friday. the rent was
due the next day. and the window
washer did not have any idea how
the SO required was to materialize.
He was washing the window in their
room so his wife could see better how
to do her hair by her mirror hung
above the trunk when her praise of
the idea that he might earn the need
ed sum by doing this woiA for 9TH
ers. His buddy gave him list of
friends, and SO far he had earned 80
cents at the first house he had gone
to. and this was the second house on
the list
Also he had beautiful, wide skunk
collar ripped from his wife's wintex
coat. which he was in hopes of being
able to sell for a dollar. The young
housekeeper gave him the dollar.
which, with the 30 cents for window
washing at 10 cents a window, was
all she could spare at that time. but
she offered to give him more on the
collar in Hie fall. or allow his wife
the privilege of buying 1t back at the
dollar rate.
That evening the young rousekeep-
er. in relating the tale to the writer,
said:
Il could just listen to that man talk
all day. He is the funniest person.
and 1 do hope he will get big part
in a Broadway show when all the
trouble is over"
Hundreds of Washingtonians who
have laughed at this same young
man until their diaphragr1s were
weak and their eyes full of happy
tears will gladly echo her sentiment.
The point is, will they help him, now,
when he is 'up against it" and put
ting UP such plucky fight trying
to keep a stuffy little hall bedroom
roof over his wife and child and tell
ing jokes in an inimitable fashion
while he rubs the stains of natures s

How Westerns Started

WHEN stories first became an es-
sential part of motion picture
productions producers and scenario
writer's naturally turned to the legiti-
mate stage for inspiration. William
H Clifford, then in the studio of
Thomas H Ince, discovered that horse
was always a great hit on the stage.
and decided horses ought to be hit
in pictures. Horses suggested cowboys
and thus the type of picture known as
western" was born.
Clifford remained the dean of west
ern'' writers for years and one of his
greatest successes, THE Bargain in
which William S. Hart is starred and
which was directed by Themas II. Ince,
is being announced in a New Edition
for release by Tri-Stone Pictures, Inc.

A True Comic Tragedy.

THE battle among theatrical pro-
ducers that is being waged in New
York. city at the present time has
wider-reaching effects than many
people not connected with the profess
sion of acting would suppose. 1t has
had definite reaction upon many play
ers known in Washington as well as
elsewhere. An unusually striking ex-
ample of this fact was brought our
plainly just the other day.
A young housekeeper of George
town was busy at her tasks on Fri
day morning when the doorbell rang
Upon answering ii. she found a tall,
upon her doorstep. He had fasci-
mating accent and manner of ex-
pressing his ideas with his long hands
and his CHEEKY smile that was dis
tinctly individual. Just these char
acteristics have made him one of the
most popular comedians seen in stock
productions here. He played leading
roles in a number of plays last year
and won a large personal following
by his original methods of conveying
humorous situations to the audience
Said this young man. removing his
hat with q chivalrous flourish.
Il say ma'am, have you any win
dows which you would like TO have
washed? Really, I may not look it,
you know, but I'm a very good win
dow washer"
The young housekeeper looked at
him with widening eyes.
Why. I've seen you on the stage
here" she calculated. The would-be
window washer looked a bit discon-
certed. but admitted the charge to be
correct, adding hastily that he had
been specially recommended to come
to that particular house by a theatri-
cal buddy who was a personal frfecd
of the young housekeeper's. That
young lady, gathering her bewiidered
wits about her, managed to stanIner
that all the front windows could
stand washing very nicely and asked
him to come in. He stepped a long
foot, well shod in an English walk
