The Powers That Make Piquant
Pela Negri
Frem a Pagan Childhood te Foremost Rank
as a Mime.
Picturing Her Personality at Clese Range
A SHORT time age this film star character
istically denied her rumored engage
ment te Charlie Chaplin. But that brief
interview failed te disclose the real person
ality of this foreign actress of the cinema.
Marie Emperle has had the geed fortune te get behind the barriers
of professional reserve and obtain a close-up of the real Pela Negri, a
woman with ambitions, a woman with determination te achieve mere
than a fleeting success in the motion picture world.

It's the Old Story
' Find the Weman'
The French have an expression,
"Cherchez la femme," which
they invariably use in connec
tion with every crime.
Se Uncle Sam has found that
in the case of postal thefts, if
the inspector first finds the
veman for whom the rrime
was committed it is easy te
apprehend the criminal.
Carel Bird writes interestingly
of exhaustive inquiries made of
the postal inspectors concern
ing their work of prevention
and detection.

Story
of the
v w rci
West
By Rebert S. Deman -
THE WEST of pioneer days, when men died with their beets en, when lives
were held cheaply, but underneath rough exteriors beat hearts of purest
geld and truest sympathy.
A story of a funeral in Geld Gulch, Ariz., attended by rich and peer,
mining magnate and gambler, saloon keeper and women of the music
hall in fact, attended by every inhabitant, past or present, of Geld
Gulch, with one exception. That exception was an important one.
Here is a story that every lever of Bret Harte will want te read.
There are quips of humor that remind one of Mark Twain; while dif
fering greatly in its setting, there are episodes in the story which
recall Owen Wister's funeral scene in "Lin McLean." There are few
worthy successors of Harte and Twain, but the literary mantle of both
might well have rested en the shoulders of Rebert S. Deman.

Suburban Trains
for
Ardent Swains
They say that one girl in Legan
keeps a supply of timetables
in her purse for distribution te
her gentlemen friends, but that
probably is a base canard.
It is true, however, that sub
urban train schedules must be
based en suitable prevision for
ardent swains.
Hew providential the early
"last train" te the city must
prove te the young lady who
has entertained the "bore"!
Lets of humor, based en in
teresting facts, in this unusual
little article.

The Flerida Railroad That Has
Warmed New England
Is it a fact that Flagler's Sca-Geingf Railroad has really diverted
the Gulf Stream ? Scientists say that it is by no means improbable
that this is the cause of the pronouncedly varmer weather in New
England and the reason for Labrador's prolenped summer.
Werdan Allan Curtibs has been investigating this curieui
phenomenon and writes entertainingly of the known facts as well
as the surmises about the diversion of the Gulf Stream.

Breaking Inte the Film Game
the Acter
Anether side of the film-life, written
from the masculine angle. Of course,
male movie stars are net as tempera
mental as the movie queens, hence one
would net expect the same type of story
as that written about Pela Negri.
There will be no disappointment,
however, te any reader of this article
by W. F. Hart, who has toured the great
Sennett studies in search of material.
He tells of the chagrin of a director who
"couldn't raise the star's salary, because
they were both bound by contract."
There are some foxy tricks played by
both actor and manager; there is humor
in the daily life of the tragedian, and
pathos and even tragedy in the life of
the comedian.

Great Men Who Wrete History
en a Hetel Register
rnHE passing of an American hostelry, where almost
- every American of note, from Henry Clay and
Abraham Lincoln, all down the path of time, te President
Harding, has left his autograph en the register.
The destruction of Neil Heuse, Columbus, Ohie, te
make room for a newer and bigger Neil Heuse, brings
te the attention of L. A. Brophy the fact that the "Little
Capitel" has been visited by mere great political leaders
of America than probably any ether hotel in any State
capital.
In his "American Notes," in 1842, Charles Dickens
tells of his visit te Neil Heuse. The first Neil Heuse
was erected in 1822. One hundred years later, a
$4,000,000 modern hotel is te be erected en the same site.
