ton's Birthday, the more mysterious the
Indian hunt, which Is scheduled for that
dav becomes. "Be Prennrcd". is tho only
clue the Boy Scouts hnve as to what
really will happen on Fobrunry 22. Many
of them believe that tho Indian hunt will
bo held along the Wlssahlckon, whero
Inst year's treasure hunt was conciucieu,
but when they ask the men who know
the only confirmation they get Is a mys
terious smile.
Sixty-eight scoutmasters have reported
that their troops will take part In the
hunt. The total number of scouts who
will pnttlclpato In the big game la 1238,
according to tho ofllclal returns.

fied when they learn that their scout
masters don't know any more nbout the
Indian hunt than they do.

with such plain common sense nnd knowl
edge of boy nnturo that It must neces

of character of the citizens of our nation

of great value In tlio training of our

Miss Frederick (and this Is no secret)
Is enamored of screen work. She loves
tho psychology of emotional work and
bclloves that It can bo shown best when
silence Is maintained. While her experi
ence In photoplay acting has been limited,
as compared with her work on the speak
ing stnge, she has done enough to realize
the possibilities In film work.
"I am really enamored with photoplay
acting," she said last night in her dress

while a well nigh Invisible puppy yelped

Tho Trials of Film Stars
Bllle West-she's n girl and a Griffith
Mutual star fooled tho truant officers of
Los Angeles recently when she was made
up as a schoolgirl appearing In "Ven
geance Is Mine," now released In tho Mu
tual program. Director Georce filoaman
had his whole company rohearslng out
doors In Snntn Monica when a man
walked up to a little girl In short dresses
and pigtails and asked her why she
wasn't at school. Questioned as to what
business It was of his. hp explained that
ho was the truant officer. After the re
buff It took a good deal of persuasion to
convince him that Mlso West really had
voted at the Inst election and was only a
make-believe schoolgirl.
Harry Dunklnson vows that George Ado
know Just what he was talking about
when ho wrote "The Fable of the Cold
Gray Dawn of the Morning After."
"Ado must have watched his characters
pretty closely," said Dunklnson, "for
when I woke up In tho morning after my
part In the play, I had a headache that
wouldn't come off."
WTioro Society Goes
There can be no gainsaying the fact
that society Is rather coy about accept
ing or Indorsing innovations originating
outside Its own set, but thore Is llkowlae
no gainsaying that this much-sought In
dorsement has been accorded to the
photoplay as It Is produced at the Stan
ley Theatre, and that a visit thero Is In
cluded among tho smart things In society.
In fact, tho evening audlonces aro rep
resentative of tho best society of Phila
delphia, and Its best-known business and
professional circles as well.
Tho reason for this vogue which the
playhouse enjoys lies In tho fact that It
has ralBed tho photoplay to the realm of
the really classic production, given
among rich nnd attractive surroundings.
The accompanying music Is of the high
est clnss and a worth-while entertain
ment even In Itself.
