APPLIES FOR JOB

Hello. Mr.. Achler," Mike
greeted Benny with a reluctant
respect. He had been born only
a block from Benny and not so
privately he believed that he
was as good a man as Benny
Achler. All he needed was
break. Just one good break.
Hello" Benny responded with
a complete lack of warmth as
his cold eyes went over Mike
and pushed him into the gutter.
"Mr. Achler," Mike said. IL

ATTEMPTED ASSAULT

1t was an ordinary tavern and
not TO be distinguished from the
| 1900 other taverns in and about
the city. 1t was fairly unlighted
and the bar was shiny and the
glasses behind caught what little
light there was and threw it back
in the customers faces. 1t was
very crowded.
They were standing two deep
and Benny, with the arrogance of
the little man, shouldered his way
past six-foot longshoreman. The
longshoreman was drunk and
quarrelsome. He lifted Benny
from the floor and was drawing
back his paw to smack him when
voice said:
Lay off, you big lug"
Looking down, the longshore-
man saw Mike Belenheim crouched
in a fighting attitude. So he sat
Benny down carefully and took a
Swing at Mike. He missed. But
Mike didn't. He threw one at the
big fellows jaw, jumping to aid in
reaching its mark. The long
shoreman caught it on the point
and fell like a stricken tree.
Mike waited for him to shake
his head and get up off the floor.
His friends were around him per-
suading him not to hit a little guy
like Mike. He went out of there
and Mike turned to Benny.
We'll how did you like the
play, Mr.. Achler?" he asked.
ITS all right" Benny adj
mitted. "Needs n lot of doctor
ing, because it's pretty amateur
ish. But I'll whip II into shape"
YES" Mr. Fripps said eagerly.
"Mr. Achler has just paid me an
advance royalty. We were going
to have drink to celebrate.
Won't you join u.s."
"Yeh," Benny seconded the in
vitation. "Have a drink Mr..
1 don't think I caught your

IN DARK THEATERS

II you were looking for Benny
land there was no reason why
any one should be- and you knew
his habits. you made a round Of
dark" theaters. In the lobby of
one of them you would find him.
He would be staring at the floor in
cataleptie trance or stepping out
TO the street level TO peer up and
down furtively, looking for he
knew not what-a hit play per-
haps.
He was standing thus one mild
afternoon in Autumn when Mike
Befenhefm found him. Mike was
an actor-he said. He had just
topped his thirties. He lowered an
inch over Benny, being five feet
one inch exactly. But only in size
did he resemble the producer.
Where Benny was drab, he was
respondent. He had black curly
hair, sharp eyes of the same color,
roman nose and a mouth whose
hardness was hidden by an almost
perpetual smile. His body was
ornamental. He had wide shoul-
ders, good arms. a wasp waist and
legs that looked long in proper
ton.

Benny Achler is not entering the
controversy.
But just for the record, the play
was written by Herbert Fripps, a
Harvard man who took a post
graduate course IN dramatics at
Yale. He is not important. He
lost all his Importance when
Benny cast the role the way
he did.
Just to give you an idea OF
Benny, which you'd never suspect
from his publicity. he is five feet
even, has long nose. a broad fore
head. a large and very loud mouth
and strong chin. The rest of him
is negligible.
AT the time mot So Silent

he was convinced that he would
never produce another play and,
even if he did, it would be a flop.

EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY

III. While experiments which led to the
ultimate development of photography were
made as far back as about 1778 by Scheele,
a Swedish chemist, followed by the labors
Of Wedgewood in England, Seebeck in
Germany and many others. it remained for
two Frenchmen, Niepce and Daguerre. to
give to the world the first practical photo
graphic process.
Niepce discovered method of making
photographs that would not fade in 1928,
but it was not until 1889, six years after
Niepce's death, that his co-worker Da-
guerre developed the Daguerrotype,
which marked the beginning of commercial
photography.
In their earliest experiments, it re-
CURED exposures of three to eight hours in
bright sunlight to secure a Photographic
copy, but the first Daguerrotypes were
made by exposures of about half an hour.
