Famous Old Coster Singer.

THERE was a lull in production.
The electricians were changing
the lights-the cameramen arrang-
ing their cameras for a new shot. The
director was going over his script,
and other members of the cast were
grouped about waiting.
In corner apart sat a middIe-aee
man who, as if in reverie, began to
sing, unmindful of what was going
on around him. His song was not a
ballad-or jazz tune. To the
younger generation on the set it was
new, but to those familiar with the
stage of a couple of decades ago it
came as refreshing reminder of the
past.
'Wot cher, all the neiVhbors cried"
continued the singer, bringing up
the end with ''and 1t knocked 'em in
the old Kent road"
There was applause. Enthusias-
t1cally the group called for more, but
the singer begged to be excused.

Holds Record for Villaiinv.

Jack Richardson claims to hold the
record for being hung for more diff
ferent kinds of murder than any
"Villyun' on the screen. Richardson
has been in motion pictures for
fifteen years. and has always been
cast to do the dirty work" In the
early days he was killed twice a
week by j. Warren kerrigan in a
series of one reel features"
Chinese smugglers, society crooks,
underworld yeggs, foreign crooks,
western outlaws have all been por-
trayed by him. And Jack does all the
work cut out for him to do. Nobody
ever doubles for him in his fiendish
work. When he is thrown from his
morse and when some spectacular bit
of horsemanshihp Is required, he does
ii himself.
Needless to say. Jack is an all
round athlete. Before graduating
from Culver Military Academy he
was captain of the foot ball team for
three years.
