But there was a limit and Jonas had more than reached It. In fact, practically every flower or vegetable that was worth selling Jonas sold and the profit he kept. So he had to go. Behold him now, standing before Mr. Hlg glns In the latter's study, waiting for his wages. When they were paid, instead of leaving the room In silent remorse, Jonas remained standing aa If there were some thing else 'to follow. "What is It, Jonas?" asked Hlgglns at last. "Please, sir, what about a reference, sir?" Hlgglns, as has been stated, was a kindly soul and, though somewhat taken aback, wrote as follows: "To all whom It may concern: Mr. P. F.

He is a famed comedian, a genius In his line; He draws his thousands weekly and yet this r man doth pine For other paths to fame; says he, "I know I'd make a name By playing big dramatic roles; I loath this slapstick game!" A well known vampire's sorrowful; she's sick of bad girl parts. Quoth she: "I want to act In roles that reach the children's hearts." And tho' as vamps a tidy fortune this young thing has made, "With half a chance," says she, "I'd put Miss Pickford In the shade!" The movie world adores her for her wist fulness and grace; They love her for her giriishness, her sweet, pathetic face. Her salary Is "out of-slght;" Is she con tent? nay, nay; She'd try her hand at tragedy if she but had her way. A well known handsome leading man with bonds and coin galore, Remarks that "all this hero stuff Is get ting quite a bore." Heroic parts have palled on him and so It seems to me, He thinks he'd shine in "heavy" roles, a villain he would be! And so It goes, Vour artist always yearns for other things: The angel would a devil be, the devil wants gold wings; The Ingenue would be the Lead, the Lead an Ingenue; There's few content with what they nave; 'tis pity, 'tis 'tis trae.

Samuel Hopkins Adams must have -been of a like opinion when he contributed "Triumph" to Collier's. Mr. Adams took for his heroine the belle pf i country town who had made a greal hit with her friends when she played the role of Rosalind in ark amateui performance of "As You Like It." This success insprFed the girl's ambi tion; she visioned the world paying homage to her greatness. She de cided to run away from home (as hun dreds girls have done in real life) Jhat she might dazzle the world through the brilliancy of hersartistry. Bluebird thotopiays at the Hipp thea ter today and Monday wjll reflect in gripping episodes the career of this deluded girl, in presentations of "Triumph," with pretty Dorothy Phil lips playing the role of the country Rosalind. Marguerite Clark to Win 'Em When She Shows at Strand If you were told to make a role both absurdly, swaggeringly masculine, and yet appealingly feminine at the same time, wnat would you "register? ' This was' what little Marguerite Clark, "the sweetest girl in motion pictures." faced when she commenced rehearsals for her latest Paramount picture, "The Amazons." , As "Tommy," the daughter of the marchioness of Castlejordan, she makes the most fascinating hoyden ever caught by the eye of the camera, and the tale of her adventures, amus ing and romantic, forms a photoplay seldom equalled in the history of film dom.

Marguerite Clark, in nifty dress suit and gleaming silk hat, will appear at the . Strand theater- Tuesday and the balance of the week in "The Ama zons." You can't afford to miss Mar guerite Clark, in this her funniest pic ture.

She replies that she will spend Sunday at his "joint" if he'll tend bar for one hout each day at hers." This curious corn pact proves the- turning point in tha life of the sagebrush siren.
