In the calendars of the small boys of North Philadelphia there stands out from all other festive occasions one red letter day which every moth er's son will remember as long as they live. This was the day when Marie Dressier and her company from the Lubln studios took possession of Washington Park to film the foot ball scenes in Acton Davles' photo play, "Tlllie's Tomato Surprise." In the mind of the average Phila delphia small boy, Washington Park Is usually associated with amateur baseball games. Once or twice in the fall a football game Is played there, and occasionally a small fly-by-night circus camps there for a day. But no circus that' ever appeared there raised such a rumpus and sen satton as Miss Dressier and ten act ors in "Tlllie's Tomato Surprise." Tom McNaughton, who plays the role of "Tlllie's" villainous cousin, Percy Jitney, was the first to arrive on the scene. It was about 8:30 In the morning when Mr. McNaughton, In tbe eccentric costume and make up which he wears In the play, came in a taxi to tbe ball grounds. Some Italian laborers were the first to spot him. ' "Looka dls," cried one of them. "DIs a Charlie de Chap," With the arrival of Colin Camp bell, who plays the Flying Scotchman and wears a kilt and a pair of wings throughout the picture, the small boys of the neighborhood began to take notice. Then with the arrival of a country band and some five hundred supers from the Lubln studios, the grounds began to take on all the attributes of one gala day. At 10 o'clock when Miss Dressier In her makeup arrived on the scene, there was a crowd of no less than twenty-five hundred boys and girls, to say nothing of ba bies, grownups and dogs, awaiting her. At sight of her, a great chorus of welcome went up. It was as though every one of them had unexpectedly run across an old friend. ' "It's Tillle," they cried, fairly mobbing her taxlcab. , They all remembered her from her first great film success, "Tlllie's Punctured Romance." "Never in my life, either on or off the stage," said Miss Dressier in tell ing the story, "have I had an ova tion which made me feel so good all over. It certainly did warm the coc cles of my heart. After that," con tinued the actress, "the fun began In earnest." Before "Tillle" becomes a volun teer football player she has no end of adventures in the grandstand. In these scenes the youngsters took such a vital interest that I began to re gret we had brought any supers along with us, these children proved to be so much better actors. There was a long row of big elms right back of the grandstand, so I told the youngsters that to each of them who would climb up into the branches and remain there until tbe picture was over, I would pay a quarter of a dollar. When I made this financial arrangement I thought that the picture would be over In a oouple of hours. The first rays of sunset still found us working on the football scenes, however. But not one of the 120 kiddies In the trees had forsaken his post. And what was more God bless them! none of them had thought of sending a walking delegate to me to ask for overtime wages. However, I hadn't forgotten them. At noon I bad a small truck of sand wiches distributed among them, and then as by that time no less than forty hokey-pokey Ice cream wagons had arrived on the grounds, I bought up the contents of three and sent them up in the trees for distribution.

At 6:20, when all the kiddies came down from the branches, I ordered my director, Mr. Howard Hansel, to pay a dollar and a half each. I wish you could have seen those eyes. It was worth the price just to get a glimpse of them. "There's only one time when their eyes will be any bigger and rounder," concluded Miss Dressier, "and that will be the moment they see them selves as part and parcel of 'TiUJe's Tomato Surprise.' " Donald Brian, who has been star ring in "The Girl From Utah" and now the screen idol of Lasky-Para-niount pictures, says that it gives him goose flesh to make love on the stage. Mary Pickford's next appearance at Paramount theatres will be in the Famous Players Film Company's pro duction of Frances Hodgson Bur nett's novel, "Esmeralda." May Be Possible To Secure Elk According to an item In the Klam ath Falls Herald, eighteen elk calves are to be liberated 'from the state game reserve in the northeastern part of the state, and the fish and game commission is looking about for a. suitable place to turn the baby elk loose where they will be safe from poachers and dogs. The calves are now in a reserve which Is fenced. It Is possible that some of these elk might be secured and turned out on the Ashland creek watershed re serve. Ashland sportsmen might do well to write the commission regard ing this reserve. Since the establish ment of Mt. Ashland reserve, deer have multiplied rapidly in the can yon, and a party seldom climbs Mt. Ashland without seeing from one to a herd of the deer. The elk would be assured of protection in this re serve and feed Is plentiful. The re serve extends from a short distance above the city limits, twelve miles to the top of Mt. Wagner-Mt. Ashland divide, and includes all of the terri tory drained by Ashland creek. No shooting of any kind Is allowed with in these limits. About ten days ago two Jackson ville youths, being "chased" home by what they thought to be some strange variety of mountain lion, shot the beasts and had every naturalist in the country naming the species.
