than a year ago, has taken the first
steps toward becoming an American

that he had applied for his first natu-

It was by accident that Soussanin
came TO the United States instead OF
France Leaving Russia shortly after
the revolution when unsettled con-
ditions made the livelihood Of an actor
precarious, he went to China. From
Shanghai he planned to sail for Europe
and try to make new start in France.
He had the misfortune TO have all Of
his money stolen In Shanghai. He con-
sidered that bad omen for France and.
after three months OF hard labor had
built up his finance somewhat, the
actor decided TO sail for America
He landed in Seattle. Wash. and
there had his first taste OF American
democracy when he obtained Job with

4 MERICA'S Coney Island had as one
of its rivals before the World War
tho Prater. the amusement center OF
once glorious Vienna.
When the Old World capital was at
ths height of its glory the Prater was
a great sight. An artistic reproduction
of the FTatar is the scene OF most OF the
dramatic moments OF "Merry-G Co.
Round" the photoplay featuring Mary
Philbin and Norman Kerry.
After the film had been completed
group of business men representing one
Of the biggest lines Of amusement parks
in America. it is said. approached Carl
Laemmle. president of the Universal
Pictures Corporation. with an offer OF
$3.50. 900 for the monster replica OF the
worl6-famed Prater.
1t was their plan to scour the world
for attractions. take over the big set.
which was complete in every detail, and
operate Is as an au-year park.
The Prater sets were more valuable
than most motion picture sets, since
there were comparatively few false
fronts to them. A large merry y-go-round
rand other amusement devices had been
constructed. complete in every detail.
Besides. they were erected in the very
midst OF Universal City, which probably
Is why the huge offer was refused by
Mr. Laemmle.
It was o. Henry who called life a
whirligig wheel Of fate on which strange
freaks Of fortune fash in startling ro-
tation.
The seeming truth Of this theory was
borne out during the filming of Merry
Go-Round." now playing a weeks en-
zagement at the Little Theater. When
Rupert Julian. who directed the produc-
ton. sought an actor TO portray the
character of the late Emperor
Francis Josef of Austria. it was
a happy whim of fortune that
led him across Col Anton vaverka, for
merry of the Austrian Army. Col.
vaverka's resemblance TO the Inflated
emperor was so faithful as TO be almost
startling
But il was a stiil stranger freak OF
fortune that the former Austrian oficer.
who stood high In court military circles
and was close to the emperor himself,
should live the character of the man
he once bowed TO as his ruler.
Those familiar with the intimate
story of vaverka's life know that when
the dignihed old colonel made triumphal
entry into the audience hall. which
flashes with the pomp and color OF the
military. there was more than mere act

the emperor TO the minutest twitch OF a

which he had often watched They
know that when Vayerka rode in thc
gold-mounted royal carriage there was
something deeper than a historic char

figure inspired-the faint smile Of rem

Folks generally are inclined 70 be-
neve that Frisco got his name from the
California city. But as matter OF
fact he got Ii from a freight car. the
one he hoped a ride on when he left
home il Dubuque TO do little wander
ing. when he began haunting the thea
ters going on amateur nights.
When finally he got himself job By
his hoofing. he decided that Joe was
too ordinary title. and by some mental
route or other arrived at the CONCLUSION
that Frisco was the name for him.
After al, that freight car had moved
right along. and he was thinking OF
doing likewise.
Although Frisco was even then real
vaudeville noofer, he was stin very
young man. To somewhat counteract
the drawback he thought his lack OF
years 10 be- he took 70 wearing derbies
and smoking large black cigars. He
was never seen without either the derby
or the cheroot.
And then. as such things go. he put
them IN his act, fooling around with
the derby and juggling the cigar TO suit
