Still With Janet

In Saturdays Telegram there
appeared an interesting little
piece of irony that I take the
liberty Of reprinting here. The
story comes from London, where
Charles Farrell is about to star in
a new picture for an English out
fit.
AS is well known, Farrell is tired
Of playing sTeet, boyiSh roles. He
rose to Stardom with Janet Gay
nor and then attempted to break
the association. But public de-
mand forced them together again
in Change Of Heart" their latest
release.
When this new offer arrived
from England, Charlie accepted it
gladly. Gaynor is q fine artist, and
none knows it better than Charlie.
But he felt that he was being over
Shsdowed and that he would be
better off II the public forgot his
association with Janet.
Arriving in Lon don, Farrell
learned that Sally Stewart would
play opposite him. And Sally, &C.
cording to her proud studio, is
known as "The English Janet
Gaynor."
Over the weekend a famous pro-
ducer attended large house
party. He romanced a very beefy
blonde and, on the way back to
town. several of the boys kidded
him about it.

said one. "iS-did she pet?"
"No," replied the producer short.
ly. "She didn't"
His companions refused to let
up. Every two minutes one of
them would ask the same ques-
ton. Did she pet?
The producer finally raised a
hand.

girl had petted. I'd certainly tell
you. That much Of a gentleman
I'm not!".

There were no tappings FROM

the miners were overcome by the
fumes and heat. The explosion
destroyed the ventilation system
