Ho went to JaekaoiVllln, Fla., recently to appear In a farce for the Mirror Film, Inc. Hla role called for a Senantlonat ducking In thn Irlny ocean and he prepared for tha ordeal all the way down to the state of fruit nml soft shelled pecan by reading ad which et forth the delislits of bathing along tha southern coaat. The result of hi study of that oort of literature nearly finished him. II had such confidence In the knowledge It would be Ilk a Turkish bath that th day he went Into the surf he very nearly perished. The shock of Jacksonville waters In February was almoat too much and he felt very much hurt at th Florida ad writers.

Mr. Burke made good In Omaha and there will be a lot of folks who earn tn contact with him who will regret to have htm leave. Com on with that Screen club. Polks ar getting anxious about that "movlo all" that Is to take place right after . ent. Georr O. Monro of th Monro has been confined to th hoapltal this week with a nervous trouble. Blllle Burke on th screen proved as popular as aha ever was on the speaking stage and stacked 'em up way out In the street at the Htrand this week when she appeared In "Peggy." immediately Into star roles and a big snlary with no effort or fliiht for what be got; the other Is your well meaning j but deluded friends who tell you that you "re ss beautiful and talented as any one con- notion picture profession who has not worked hard for her success. The strug gles with some have been more obvious than with others, but, whether It has been seen or not, the struggle has been there in every caae and the auccess ha been the reward of grit and fight. Winn your friends tell you bow easily you will aucceed in pictures, thank them sa politely as you can, but do not take their words too much at heart. Our di rector tells me that the girls who aply to him for a "trial" becaua their friends are sure of their Immediate success, ar each day numerous enough to furnUth every producing company In the Vnlted states with a leading woman. A very few of these many applicants will some day be sure enough leading women, but they are theonea who will thS most suc cessfully disregard whst their friend , have suid, and consequently be the more ' ready to start out with a determination to wrk and wait until success Is theirs.
