Dante's Inferno has over th mind, de

people are not' content with seeing it
just once. Thousands have visited tha
Star Theater again and again to sea
the matchless photo play, and when It
was hinted that It would only be al
lowed to remain for half a week, such
a storm of protest arose that the man

COMEDIENNE ASSERTS THAT
SUCCESS IS ATTAINED BY
LONG AND HARD WORK.
Trlxle Frlgansa,
Mies Trixie Friganza, the come
dienne of "The Sweetest Girl ln
Paris," Is something of a philoso
pher regarding the stage and its
p o s s i b llitles and requirements.
Miss Friganza, who will be seen
here this week, although a very
young woman, has already made
a name for herself ln the line of
musical comedy and atrlbutes her
success to close attention to busi
ness and a careful regard for her
employers' best interests.
"When you sit down and con
template success as it is applied
to a career on the stage, It seems
ti stand fr a monotonous hum
drum exlstenc e." said Mies
Friganza. "Unless the mere
achievement of success is suffi
cient reward for doing many
tilings you do not want to do,'
advancement on the stage must
really seem nothing at all. This
ts true, because to succeed you
must work hard and long."
