sissippi at st. Paul.
That same rodman, A. H. Hogeland,
is now consulting engineer of the Great
Northern railway.
When Mr.. Hogeland went to Fishers
Landing he had only a promise Of a
SIX months job. The six mon5hs' job"
has not ended yet. Rounding out his
half century of service under the Jim
Hill banner and still going strong, Mr..
Hogeland early last winter completed
the latest new line of the Great North
ern, the 80-mile Saco-Turner branch in
northeastern Montana. Mr.. Hogeland,
as chief engineer during a period Of 81
years, has built nearly one-third of the
railways $500 mile system and has
seen it acquire half ownership of an
even greater mileage.
Mr.. Hogeland went to work for the
old st. Paul and Pacific railroad April
g.. 1879. From rodman Mr.. Hogeland
advanced step by step until he became
Chief engineer in 1903, which position
he filled until 1925 when he became
consulting engineer.
In 1887 when the railway was ex-
tended from Minot to Great Falls. Mr..
Hogeland was assistant engineer in
charge of construction. The Billings
line was built under his direction in
1907-08.

LONDON (NAN.A.).-In a collection
Of Bernard Shaw's letters up for auction
recently ample proof is given that he,
like the rest of us, has had his trials
and triumphs as a motoriSt.
Apparently he began to learn to drive
in 1908. Anyway it was about that
time that he complained of the way his
accelerator pedal stuck.
ITO get it up you Stoop and pluck 1t
like a mushroom" he wrote. OF that
early car he said also: Under these
circumstances the car should have q
pair of shafts and a horse"
Dealing with faults of his car, he
went on: THE placing of the acetylenes
is beyond profanity. though they
throw the light too high for signpost
reading they are admirable for detect
ing policemen concealed in trees"
On motor insurance Mr.. Shaw wrote
in 1908: It have been learning driving
:. mostly in the Strand and Regent
street to the detriment of my nerves
and the danger Of traffic generally" OF
his chauffeur he said: HE is very like
Gwenn, who played the chauffeur in
my Man and Superman'. and his
wages (50s) are nearly as high"
In the same sale was a first edition
copy of "Widower's Houses" with an

An Old Favorite Explains.
H. VAN BUREN,, now a Fo

A II. VAN BUREN,, now a Fox
director but for many years lead
ing man of the famed Columbia and
Poll stock companies in Washington,
10 or more years ago staged the dia-
logue portions Of q Devils" which fea-
lures Janet Gaynor.
In addition to his years of stock in
Washington, Mr.. Van Buren, appeared
successfully in many stage productions,
among them "Aloma of the South
Seas" 1.-THE Trial of Mary Dugan,'
Fast Life" and Crime"
Players of the stage who think be-
cause of their stage experience they
can launch into talking pictures with
out difficulty find It otherwise" says
Mr.. Van Buren,.
"Of course, they know the stage actor
must make himself familiar with the
peculiar requirements of the screen.
But eventually they discover that the
microphone and the camera bring the
whole audience to the front row, so to
speak, and then the player learns he
must curb his tendency to send his
voice to the gallery. The omission of
this care produces unpleasant effects
in talking pictures. Also, screen per-
Torrance before the magnifying lens of
the camera requires of the actor very
careful study of the details of facial
expression, gestures and posture. These
are most important, for you cannot alibi
the camera.
THE technique Of talking pictures
has been highly perfected, it is true
but only by the careful adjustment OF
many radical differences in stage and
screen methods"

Surprises in Movies.

THERE never was greater hodge
podge Of mystery id the world than
the movie world, take it all in all.
Surprises bob up in it ct the NOSE
unexpected times, some Of them Of
gripping interest and others only COM
monplace. in Q way. but still endowed
with the element of surprise.
For instance, Ray Hallor. There are
doubtless thousands of picture fans who
recall his name and many who are IA
miliar with his face, and not one Of
them all, perhaps, knows anything at
all about Ray Hallor, except that he
is q screen player.
Now come the advance notices of
'Fast Life" the First National Vita
phone picture at the Earle this week,
and buried in grist of conventional
but perhaps necessary information we
discover that Ray .Hallor was born in
Washington and once attended the
blake School, He began with Edison
Pictures in 1915 and has been at it,
more or less, since then. Nevertheless,
he also appeared on the stage with
Maude Adams for six months. Ray
also was a shining light In Gus Ed
wards Revue at Reisenwebers in 1918.
But that isn't all. He also shows UP
in "Hells Angels" that priceless Aim
that is still in the making, and yet he
also found time to get in whack at
Boston College to improve his mind.
This is only one of many, many sur
prises you get out of the movie world,
II only you look for them.

An Unusual Story.

TRUE or mott reads we'll
One blustery Chicago night, when
Clark street was cracking with the cold
that blew in from the lake, Hal Sicily,
stellar player in the Paramount picture
THE Dance 81 Life" and a friend left
the stage door of the theater where
"Surlesque" now titled 1.-THE Dance of
Life" was being shown. Outside the
theater the icy air was heavy with the
blue smoke from choked and suffering
motors. There were no newsboys. The
cold had driven them indoors. The
crowd pushed hastily away, coat collars
high. There was little talking. It was
as IL the voices had been frozen.
Skelly and his friend hurried to the
street. Just as they were entering their
car. Sicily was accosted by man who
had been seeking shelter in nearby
doorway. The mans hands were blue
from the cold. He had no gloves. His
overcoat was thin and all but one of its
buttons were missing. A felt hat was
pulled low over his eyes.
Say Hal, have you a minute?" the
man inquired in a calm voice.
Sicily, who had taken one step into
his car, came back to the sidewalk.
you probably don't remember me-"
said the man.
After looking under the hat brim
Sicily said: Il don't believe I do, my
friend"
The man took of his hat.
Joel" fairly shouted Sicily. "Why,
how are you, Joe? It's been years. I'm
glad to see you" Sicily grasped the
chilled hand of the man before him.

But Sicily laughed again as he
slapped the ragged figure on the shoul-
der and stepped into his car waving q
farewell: Don't forget to get In touch
with me tomorrow, sure"
On his way to the hotel Sicily told
his friend about Joe.
Early the next morning the telephone
rang In Skelly's room.

caller. II have message for you. We.
