One :pecial lady was so preoccupled

The other afternoon, for one time,
a woman who drops in all sorts of

herself in first-row chair near

sician, who at that time happened
to be spending a between-reel minute

latter. big-eyed with excitement over
whether or not the hero was going to
have his head chopped off.
''Of course he won't have his head
off" soothed the woman.
. Everything will come out all right
and now keep quiet"
Unconvinced, the boy appealed to
the piano girl:
