In on little motto ta found th secret
of the rapid advancement of Nona
Thomas. It Is: "No matter how small
the task, do It th best you can." Miss
Thoma had only a small part In "Civi
lisation," Thomas Ince'e huge spectacle,
but so well was her performance carried
through that her work stood out and
struck between th eyes. It I thla kind
of work at the Inc studio which rap
Idly ha carried her upward.
From some unknown correspondent In
Portland, Ore., Johnnie Rheehan of the
American, has received a red, blue,
orange, green and yellow view of the
Bpokan river, Washington. The view Is
not so Interesting as the following pus
isllng verse, whose authorship fortunately
is hidden:
Oh, Johnnie, you'r a naughty boy; I saw
you as a souse;
And watched you rob a lady and her
poor old aged spouse.
I ne'. er knew that you could act so
naughty or so mean
I'ritll ( went up to the show, and saw
you on the screen.
Now you msy think thst I'm not nice to
call you down so raw,
But vouil excuse me when I say, that
this Is Just from MJaw.
Bessl BarrtS' sl Is putting genuine fun
Into her role of an Ingenue, society girl,
typ In a Trlangl Kay Be light corn
tdy, and at th earns time getting equally
ss much fun out of th performance.
In th picture she Is th redeeming fea
ture of a nouveaurlche family whose
strivings for social recognition furnish
the action. I'nder the direction of Ray
mond West, Miss Barrtscala succeeds In
poking lots of fun at ber climbing film
parents.
The fame of Henry B. Walthall' work
as a portrayor of emotion echoes back
to the United Plate from the Antipodes,
In a letter from Australia to an actor In
Los Angeles, stating that Walthall Is a
tremendous farorlt across th Pacific.
Audiences In Australia and New Zea
land, both acclaim him th greatest actor
on th screen, the writer says. And

This wa th vers written on a cart
