HOLD LADIES' NIGHT.
On June 7 the Photoplayers' Club,
the new organization of the California
picture actors, held a ladies' night af
fair in their new club house. Miss Mar
garita Fischer and Director Otis Tur
ner, of the Bex Company, were the most
conspicuous of the crowd on t' e
room floor, the former for her beauty
nd the latter for his new-found ability
to "rag it."
A magnificent new two-part photo
play has just been completed by the
101 Bison Company. The title of this
Civil War etory of aentiment and
pathos is "The Picket Guard," sug
gested by Ethelinde E. Beers' historic
poem, "All Quiet Along the Potomac."
All quiet along the Potomac tonight,
Where the soldiers lie peacefully
reaming,
heir tents in the rays of the clear au-
- tumo moon,
Or the lights of the watch fires are
gleaming.
. tremulous aigh, aa the gentle night
wind
Through the brush leaves eoftly is
creeping,
While stars up above, with their glit
tering eye,
Keep guard for the army is sleeping.
There's only the aound of the lone sen
try's tread,
As he tramps from the rock to the
Fountain,
And thinks of the two, in the low trun
dle bed,
Far away in the cot on the mountain.
The moon aceins to shine just as bright
ly as then
That night when the love yet unspoken,
Leaped to his lips, when low mur
mured vows
Were pledged to be ever unbroken.
Ilia musket falls alack, his face dark
and grim,
Grows soft with memories tender,
As he mutters a prayer for the chil
dren asleep,
For the mother may heaven defend
her.
Then, drawing his sleeve ronghly over
his eyes,
He dashes the tears that are welling,
And gathers his gun close op to itB
place,
As if to keep down the heart swell
ing.
He passes the fountain, the old blasted
tree,
The footsteps are lagging and weary.
Hark: Was it the night wind,
That rustled the leaves!
Was it moonlight so wondrously flash
ing!
It looked like a rifle
Ah! Mary, good-bye.
And the lifeblood is ebbing and
plashing.
All quiet along the Potomac, "they
say, ' '
Except, now and then, a stray picket
Is shot, as he walks his post to and fro,
By a rifleman hid in tbe thicket.
" 'Tis nothing, a private or two now
and then
Will not count in the news of the battle;"
"Not an officer last" "Only one of
the men."
"Moaning out all alone the death
rattle."
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight
No sound save tbe rush of the river.'
Whilo soft falls the dew on the face of
the dead.
The qicket's off duty forever."

White himself.
Mr. Brenon writes that he believes
it is the greatest production he has ever
made, stating that "o beautiful pic
turesque scenery, dramatic value,
thrills and acting it eicela any of hia
previous production.
He announces with a great deal of
satisfaction, the arrival of Miss Leah
Baird, and feels that with Mr. Baggot
and Miss Baird playing the British
roles, supported by a British company
with beautiful European backgrounds
he will obtain wonderful results.

the center of attraction recently at the
Hotel Alexandria, in Loa Angeles,
where she frequently goes for after

Little Miss Whort, wearing a delicate
white lingerie dress, black silk coat,
and flowered hat, and holding a dainty
swagger stick, wns attracted by the
faint cries of a small dog that had
been injured in the street and had

child gently bathed the injured paw

BLAME THE ENGINEER!
A Director's Ditty.
By James J. Montagus.
Run the road to get resultsl Keep ex
penses low!
Economize on employes, for wages
mount up so!
Use the rolling stock you've got as
long as wheels will turn.
Suppose it isn't all brand new; that's
none of our concern.
And if a smash-up comes along, say
once or twice a year,
Charge it to the loss account, and
blame the engineer!
Boost the fares up right along, and if
the people balk,
Tell 'em they don't have to ride; they
can always walk!
Keep the freight rates going up; if the
shippers whine,
They must pay 'era just the same;
we've got the only line.
In case of wrecks go into court and
fight on every claim,
And don't forget the battle cry: "The
engineer's to blame!"
Watch repair bills! Keep 'em down!
A lot of harm is done
By useless high-priced tinkering on en
gines that will run.
Keep away from foolish fads; steel
cars cost more to build.
And wooden ones are good enough;
your job's to keep 'em filled.
Of course they smash to spinters in a
wreck; but never fear
If any one gets after you, just blame
the engineer!
