The Diary of Professional Movie Fan
BY GLADYS HALL.

Now, you wouldn't think. would

thUSed over one simple little gar
ment? Yet she was Just as enthused
| as she might have been years ago in
her home town Of Union Hill, y. j..
"Cuddles" Lee, and still longer before
she was known as Lila Lee, the
| beautiful, effective, warmly sympa-
| thetic artist she is developing into.
This led us to speak of early mis-
| takes. "Of course" said Lila. mine
was in being made star in my first
picture. If any young girl i'll the
! movies should, perchance, ask me for
any well-meant advice 1 should tell
her to go slowly-to do the littlest
bits first and not try to jump into
| the public eye too swiftly or too SEN
sationally.
| II thought 1 was made of course.
when / saw my name in electrics and
heard myself called a star: and 1t
took me some time to realize that,
instead of being it. was a per.
fectly awful fiivver, all because 1
wasn't equal to the demands being
made upon me. I had bloomed over
night and faded with the rising sun.
! had to begin all over again, armed
with failure and encouragement.
And it isn't so easy, that beginning
again on the broken back of failure.
You've lost your f-contidence.
You've lost your running start. And
people hold failure against you. They
don't forget it easily. Neither do
You.
When you begin again. painfully
and slowly, you have to work. You
have to work hard. You have to be
sincere. In the beginning. that false
beginning, I cared mostly for how |
looked. I thought that, If ! were
called beautiful, L had done all that
was expected of me. I took the fact
that l was a great artist for granted.
And that would be my second bit Of
advice to girls who are beginning:
not to think about how they are
going to look. I'd tell them not to be
afraid to laugh and cry, just because
they are not beautiful in emotion.
I'd tell them not to expect, not to
want to look beautiful all of the
while. Nobody does. And it isn't
natural 1t isn't real. No one is
classically beautiful when convulsed
with laughter or torn with sobs. But
emotions have u beauty of their own,
because they are real, because every
one who has really lived has eX-
perienced them, and because people
who want life as it is on the screen
expect reality instead of doll-like
simperingS now and then.
Sincerity is the golden coin of
success. 1 feel sure of that"

Bottles.

Children are fascinated by bottles.
They are curious about them and
they love to pour things out of them.
Besides that, they are generally for
hidden things and that makes them
more thrilling.
Every SO often a child gets hold
OF a bottle Of medicine and drinks
to his death. The catastrophe is the
more stunning because one thinks it
might have been avoided. One is
always SO wise after the event.
Still We are sometimes very care
less about bottles. We get used to
them.
For instance. We are very sure
that We know exactly where the
medicine bottle stands so that we
could lay hands upon it even in
the dark. Then we take it out some
night when we are in a hurry and
discover that it isn't it. It's another
one. Yet We We're so sure!
Some folks stick a pin. through
the cork OF the dangerous bottle.
thinking that it will prick the fingers
Of the one who handles it and SO
call attention to the fact that it is
a dangerous one. But when one is
excited a little thing like a prick
on the end OF the finger won't be
noticed.
And some folks get bottles OF odd
shapes and colors to call attention
to their dangerous content. But

The young chuck knew that this
was a very small person talking, SO So,
he asked in his turn, as he poked
his head out and discovered small,
very neat person with pretty striped
coat and the brightest of bright eyes.

prompt reply. 81 live here in the old

munfi. IF YOU live here long enough
you will learn great deal of the
ways of the great world. It's the
safest place I know of. You have
run away from home. haven't you?'
Striped Chipmunk's eyes twinkled as
he asked this.
The young Chuck nodded. Yes

Striped Chipmunk nodded. quite

worry you. AS long as you do not
get too far away from the old stone
wall that fellow will be perfectly
harmless. I'm great deal smaller
than you, and I'm not in the least
afraid of Bowser the Hound"
This comforted the young Chuck,
and he began to feel better right
away. He came wholly out. He
peeped out through the bushes, and
just beyond he saw the Green Mead
ows. He climbed up on the old stone
wall. and the other side looked into
the old orchard. It seemed to him
that he never had seen such beau
tiful place. 81 think I'll stay" said
he, "if can find a good hiding place.
There are plenty of them," said
Striped Chipmunk. I'll show you
some of them.
Away scampered Striped Chipmunk
along the top of the old stone wall.

the ground and followed.

sponsible for all that cussedness

ticipants still bachelor and spinster?
We talk much about training people
for marriage"-how about training
them for the more general job of liv-

plaques upon US: 1t merely brings
out all the beauty or meanness which
may inhabit us. And if marriage
didn't bring them out, something else
