JUST IMAGINATION

What is it piles woe on woe
Throughout this blessed Nation?
What is it worries peoples so?
It's just imagination.
What makes a fellow rail and rant
And view with frowns his station
What makes him feebly say 81
can't?"
It's just imagination.
What makes a task seem so hard to
do?
What causes hesitation
By men who face a problem new?
It's just imagination.
And what makes other people grin
At cares of brief duration
And gives them pluck to fight and
win?
That's just imagination.

Peace and in HOLLYWOOD.

Out at the First National studios in
Burbank, Calf, where the filming
Of THE Furies" took place, they say the
picture Is memorable because there was
not single quarrel among the actors,
the camera or the microphone people
during It's production. Peace and har-
mony prevailed from the first days
shooting" to the last.
Alan Crosland, who directed 1.-THE
Furies" says he is prouder Of this record
of unb7oken good temper and good fell
lowShip than of almost anything else.
But he attributes most Of the credit to
Miss Wilson and Mr.. Warner, the fea-
tured players.
They are players Of experience and
rare intelligence" he declares. Their
standing is such that they don't feel
they have to emphasize 1t by the kind
Of behavior that we call "tempera-

Chorus Girls Not to Travel.

7 H. HERK, president Of the Mutual
IL BurleScue Association, has announc-
ed that the chorus girls In burlesque
will not travel next season, but will be
located permanently in the various
cities on the Mutual Circuit.
In order to equip the 40 shows with
from 10 to "a girls, requires approx
mately 800 choristers. The established
salary Of not less than $50 week viii
be maintained, IL Is stated, and the
lucky applicants will thus be able to
avoid travelling and enjoy all the COM
forts and conveniences Of permanent
location.
The idea gives q decidedly new twist
to the entire scheme Of the operation Of
burlesque shows. 1t is said to be the
purpose Of the Mutual executives to
secure as many girls as possible who
are residents of the cities to which they
will be assigned.
Dancing teachers will be sent to the
various cities to instruct the newcomers
in the details Of the work they will be
called upon to perform.

"A around Brothers" last week at
the National, thick with distinction. to
the person who had super-sensitive eyes.
In the second act In which Mr.. Gil
bert did some Of the most amazing bits
Of lightning costume changing, were
two youths, who, although at the mo-
ment In the background, are really very
much In the foreground.
One was none other than Dick Doug
las, one of the Boy Scouts who ac-
companied Martin johnson to Africa,
and who made personal appearance
at the theater when the johnson pic
ture was shown there. He was to be
observed doing some highly physical
dancing. Also there was young Billy
Tanner, son Of the renowned monolo-
giSt, Julius Tanner, who was doing
some double-time Waiting himself In
q scene Of the play.
