METRO PLAYERS FOR
TWIN-STAR SYSTEM
Bushman and Bayne, Who Ap
pear at the Victoria Today,
Enjoy Co-starring
By the Photoplay Editor
Krands X, Bushman and Beverly Bayne,
co-stars In "Their Compact" at the Victoria,
demonstrate the fact that co-operation wins
In motion-picture work, as It does In all
other walks of life. They remain the
screen's leading exponents of the value-of
teamwork.
"I am a firm believer In the double-star
system," said Mr. Bushman recently. "Per
haps I nm somewhat prejudiced In favor
of It on account of the success Miss Bayne
and 1 have had In working together, both
In the old Essanay days and In our pres
ent happy association with Metro. Actually,
our experience has been such as to make
the slng'.c-star system look to mo almost
lopsided. You go to seo a Mar iind find
that other details of the production have
been subordinated to him or her. The star
Is excellent, and the leading man, or
woman, perhaps not so excellent. On the
other hand, with teamwork each plays
Into the hands of the other. It Is human
nature for the men tn the audlenco to bo
especially Interested In the woman star nnd
for the girls In the audience to be interested
In the man star. There aro exceptions, of
course, but that Is the rule. See what an
advantage tho double-star system has? It
provides a potent attraction for every per
son In the theatre."
Miss Bayne further Illustrates the value
of teamwork by agreeing with Mr. Bush
man. "Tho author's Ideas," she declared,
"may be brought out more perfectly where
there Is tho co-operation of two stars. Some
of the strong, virile Ideas will be sacrificed
If there Is a noted woman star at the head
of the oiganlzatlon and tho m.ilo part oppo
site her has not, perhaps, been Btrongly
enough cast, and In case a man Is the role
star, the morn beautiful, artistic phases
which absolutely require a capable woman
to Interpret them are lost If tho leading
woman is not exceptionally clover.
"Of roursc, there Is the danger that
parts will bo stronger for one than for the
other, and then professional Jealousy may
arise. But In the long run 1 believe the
chances are about even. I know It has been
so with Mr. Bushman and myself. In our
next production. "God's Outlaw,' as well
as In previous productions, such as 'Itomeo
and Juliet,' 'Man and His Soul' and 'The
Wall Between sometimes one part has
stood out and sometimes another, but on
the whole I think neither of us has any
thing to worry about In this regard, and
I fully agreo with Mr. Jushman as to the
value of the twin-stir system,"
FISHERMEN GIVE AID
TO FOOD CONSERVATION
Do Patriotic Bit by Supplying
Great Quantities of Cheap
Sustenance
ATLANTIC CITY. Sept. 2C
Herbert Hoover has no warmer admirers
anywhere than the Intrepid fishermen who
are rushing boatload after boatload of still
wriggling fish Into Atlantlto City every
day, transferring them to barrels and rush
ing the barrels by rail to- tho big city mar
kets They are "doing their bit" to glvo
thousands of poor folk In the big cities an
opportunity to follow Hoover's advice to
stop eating high-priced meats and save a
great deal of money by hitting tho fish
To get an Idea of what la meant by lots
of fish one should see the sloops coming
Into Gardner's Basin filled, hold, deck and
boats, clear to the rail, with silvery beauties
good enough for any king to eat baked or
fried to a turn. Atlantlo City never saw
so many flsh as have been brought In this
year. Any amateur can go out to tho
artificial fishing bank and catch as many
fish as he can carry Tho banks further
off shore literally are "alive."
Getting the sea's tribute off to the mar
ket is Just as Important aa getting It to
shore. Kxpert workers make the shift
oulckly from hold to barrels layers of
fish and layers of ice packed tightly. There
Isn't any reason why every big and llttlo
town within a radius of hundreds of miles
ahould not have perfectly fresh fish for Uh
dinner tables every day In the week. There
Isn't any limit to the supply here.
GLASSBORO BOOMERS
HOPE TO GET SCHOOL
GLASSDOHO. N. J.. Sept. 28. With an
other week remaining before the Stlte
Board of Education is expected to make a
definite decision upon the selection or a
site for the proposed new South , Jersey
Normal School, "somewhere In GloucesUr
County," boomers for gating the school lo
cated here ate keeping busy and they
feel confident of the State accepting the r
offer of i free site In the beautiful Whit
ney estate,
Citizens have made subgcrlptlons suffi
cient to purchase twenty-flve acres of this
estate, known as the Holy Built tract, to
provide a free sue xor me rarom Dvii.uu,.
Since negotiations have beem under way.
over this propoed site the State Board of
Education Is said to have obtained an option
upon the entire tract of approximately fifty
acres. In addition to an option on another
fifty acres of farm land Just adjoining the
Holy Bush tract.
The choice of the location of the new
normal school lies between Glassboro and
Woodbury, In view of the tenUttve decision
of the State Board of Education to place
the institution In Gloucester County. Wood

the temptress as she toyed with the

"Thou shalt not stay here," said Jether

Pharls grasped her with his mighty hands,
he turned her around and around, ho ran
his great thick fingers through her hair,
and Tlsha laughed, for she knw that he
was In the tolls of the siren and that she
could make this mighty giant do her bid

"Dance for me, girl."

a cry of Joy, lifted her bodily from her feet
so that he might kiss her face. Tlsha
screamed and laughed when the great bushy
whiskers tickled her face.
"Dost know who I am?" demanded
rharls.
The girl wriggled from his embrace and
faced him with an artful upward glance.
"Aye," she mocked him. "Thou art
Pharls, who, If he would, could bring me
on his next voyage a little creature with
hands that are like feet and with a face
like an old man's, to sit on my shoulder
and do each thing that I do, and make me
laugh. I have heard of such animals
monkeys they are railed Hast thou, per
chance, seen such?"
The giant laughed a veritable roar
"Thousands of them," he cried, "swing
ing on trees taller than masts of vessels.
Thou shalt have one, In truth. Its ugly
face peeping over thy Bhoulder will make
thee seem even fairer than thou art."
He paused a moment, and added:
"Or, better still, girl, wouldst go with
Pharli on a voyage?"
"Where?" asked Tlsha In surprise.
"I have long wanted to seek a distant
land where there are men with bodies like a
horse, who roam the forests and in tho sea
nearby are maidens wondrous fair with
tails like fishes."
Tlsha laughed incredulously.
"Aye. such there are, for I have heard
them," bald Pharls, with conviction. "Thou
shalt go with me "
"But how shall I know that thou lovest
me?"
"Let no man touch thy hand. When It
doth please me, thou shalt know my
thought"
Pharls passed on for a moment to speak
with a blonde girl who had been making
vain efforts to attract his attention. He
sat with her upon a divan, while the angry
Tlsha fumed and raged at the whispered
remarks between them. Suddenly, with un
controllable rage, Tlsha rushed behind the
girl, pulled her by the hair so that the
fair one Involuntarily shrrleked, and de
manded of the giant:
"What meanest thou?"
The girl who had been so roughly as
saulted turned to Pharls for protection.
"Didst thou not ask me to go on a voy
age?" demanded Tlsha. "Then what of
her?"
The giant sea captalti looked from the
blonde girl to the brunette Then he half
smiled.
"She too pleases me." he said gruffly,

CHAPTEIt XVI
Suddenly the merrymakers ceased their
laughter. A shrill cry from within the
house of Nadlna made them pause. Jether
rushed among them, carrying an empty
teakwood box, which had been broken
open.
"Hobbed ' nobbed I" he cried, "A thief
has stolen nil my money. Thou womai,
thou hast robbed me,"
Nadlna faced him Indignantly, with pre
tended scorn. "Art thou mad?" she said
coldly.
"My chest Is empty. Not one shekel In
It, and thou alone knewest where I kept
my gold. Thou hast taken all and left me
not a single coin."
Nadlna took the box from him and threw
It angrily upon the ground.
"Is It my fault If thou has lent all to thy
friends?" she demanded angrily. "Have I
any need of thy small treasure, I who own
this house and feed thee and thy friends
Wert thou not drunk, I would have thee
flogged for slandering me."
Jether gazed about him with a dazed ex
pression. "Yes, It is true I did lend much
money to my friends," he stammered. "1
had forgot the money I did lend them, hut
still there was plenty when last I opened
this chest." Nadlna seized his arm.
"Hast thou no money elsewhere?" she
vvhlpercd.
Jether shook his head. "None "
"Hut thou hast a father who Is rich tn
lands, f-'end to him for more."
"I have already had my portion," ad
mitted Jether sadly. "Ho will give me
naught."
Nadlna shook him angrily, and turned
aside contemptuous.
"What thou hast loaned It lost." she
cried. "But If all the monoy is gone, how
wilt thou pay mo all that thou owest me?"
Jether proudly raised his head. 'Thou
dost wrong my friends," he said, calmly
"They are men of honor They will repay
me "
He started toward the group of his
friends nearby. Nadlna bade him pause.
"Walt." she whlBpered. "There Is a way
by which they mayest once more have gold
In plenty." Jether looked at her anxiously,
not comprehending, and sho continued:
"Put. the wealthy son of Absalom, doth ever
gamblo with the dice, and for large stakes.
Thou hast nimble fingers With tho dice
that I shall give thee, thou wilt never lose.
But use thy skill carefully, so that no one
elso stands close to thee."
Krom her dress she drew two dice, and
sought to have him take them.
"Never lost?" repeated Jether, Incredu
lously. Then, ns he understood that the
dice must be loaded with some heavy sub
stance to make a certain side always on
top, he cried Indignantly: "Thou meanest
to play with fnlso dice? Woman, I know
full well I am a fool, but a cheat I am not
Take thy false dice with thee."

The wife of the famous evangelUt diicutaes everyday topic iri
a helpful and wholesome way.
The Girl Who Was
M'YI, poor me!"
I looked up sharply at the girl who
uttered these words. Ida was dressed In
heavy mourning, and her face was pinched
nnd white, while her eye stared at tne
with a kind of dull,
hauntlnc hopeless
ness. Nhe drew my
sympathy nt o n c 0
and, watching my
chance for a quiet
.ohat with her, I
soon had her open
ing her heavy-burdened
heart to me.
I"or the last two
years. It seemed, In
deed, an though Ida
had undergone far
more than her
rightful share of
troubles. First, her
father whom she
had almost Idolized
had been killed
suddenly In an au
tomobile accident.
At tills time she
ilA," HU.NDAt had been engageu
for a number of months to a young
man to whom she had given all of tho
Idealistic devotion of a young woman, to
whom real love has como for the first time.
rilx months after tho death of her father,
Ida had discovered he was not worthy of
tho lovo of any good, pure-minded girl
that, for years, ho had been living a doublo
life, the other chapter of which would not
bear the light ot day.
Then, ai though this second blow was
not enough, lest, than a year afterward
Ida'H mother, her only remaining parent
and virtually her only near relative, had
been snatched from her nfter a compara
tively short Illness The devotion between
tho mother and daughter had been beau
