"Ow They "Appened to Do It
Ton seemed to take kindly to our last little guessing: contest bo here
another. Don't exercise your minds unduly, but some nice warm day when
yon can't think of anything else to do, sit down and see if you can figure it
out. I'd like you to send me your solutions if you don't mind. Anyhow
here's hoping you all prove good guessers.

One Week from next Sunday.
The photoplayers of Clay M. Greene's
company, at the Lubln studios, were
resting on the bench while the shifters
were setting the next scene for "Oh,
You Uncle!"
Lenoro Peacock was running through
the exchanges to improve her mind and
Incidentally In the hope that some ob
servant photoplay editor had slipped
In a tribute to her budding genius.
Presently her eye lighted upon a sug
gestion by the Columbia (Pa.) "State"
for a real Interstate romance In one
reel as follows:
Friendship, N. T.
Love, Va.
Klssimmee, Fla.
Ring, Ark.
Parson, Ky.
When the whistle blew for luncheon
Miss Peacock instead of heading for the
studio dining-rooms with her customary
celerity, buried herself In the library
in conference with a bulky volume
bearing the Postmaster-General's name
as author.
When she emerged she announced
that as far as It went, the Interstate
romance in one reel was all right.
"But," said Miss Peacock, "the sub
ject is a dramatic one. Why not a one
reel drama ending with a punch? Here's
one that you don't have to go chasing
all over the country to make. You'll
find it right In the State of Idaho:
Grace.
Rupert
Reubens.
Deary.
Sugar.
Sweet.
Priest.
Bliss.

Chorus of jealous photoplay editors
in other states:

John Webb Dillon was forced into
having three parts to his name.
He was originally plain John Dillon,
but he got mixed up so often with John
Dillon and Jack Dillon, other stage no
tables, that Dillon adopted a middle
name in self-defense.
Dillon is now acting in a new Will
iam Fox production. He has been on
the stage for 15 years, and in pictures
for two years. He was born in New
Haven and. in youth, expected to be
come the world's greatest dentist.
After one' year at dental college, the
crisis came and dentistry lost out
John Dillon went on the stage for one
of the Blaney stock companies in
Brooklyn. From this he gradually
worked up to more and more important
parts.

RECOMMENDED RECIPES FOR

PELLED TO DO THEIR OWN
COOKING.
By Gordon Seagrove.
STUFFED OLIVES.
Prepare the stuffing as follows: Mix
one quart of red peppers with three
pounds of pimento, one cubit of pep
per, a Jigger of paprika, add salt to
taste. If by this time you have not
been overcome, roll the paste Into small
globes and. placing them on a tray, pro
ceed to the olive orchard. To do this
you take any of the P. A O. boats to
Italy. Upon arriving in the olive belt,
pick out a young tree which has Just
been born. Now. stroking the balls
quietly to keep them. calm, put one or
more on the tender young branches of
the olive tree and depart silently. Tho
following year ycu should return to
harvest the fruit. You will be highly
pleased, for you will find that the olives
have grown around the stuffing and are
ready to serve. All you need do now
is add a prayer and serve in some large
open space where profanity is allowed.

NOTES FOR MOVIE FANS
ANITA STEWART Is not a spec
tacular actress, but she has, since
first going into pictures, main
tained a steady popularity for which I
reckon a lot of stars would gladly ex
change their own meteoric success.
Miss Stewart was born In Brooklyn.
N. Y Feb. 17. 18SS figure for yourself
how old sh Is. She went to public
schools and later attended high school,
where she studied vocal and piano un
der the direction of Mrs. Mary Gunning,
mother and teacher of Louise Gunning,
the operatic star. For some time then
she was a model, posing for calendars
and pictorial lithographing. Then her
brother-in-law, Ralph Ince, being a
Vltagraph director, saw no reason why
she snould not take up screen work.
She did. with the success you all know.
Miss Stewart is a versatile young wom
an and plays comic and tragic parts
with equal facility. Besides being ex
tremely pretty, she has plenty of
charm and intelligence.
ANNOUNCEMENT has been made by
Fathe Exchange of a new policy to
