Pal on Long Romps Beside the Lake Each W inter Day STRETCH of beach long, undulating eddies of glis tening sand, a stiff wind from the northwest, frigid from the waters of Lake Michigan in mid-Decem- ber. Then a shreik of ecstacy from the throat of a little child. The noisy and congenial bark of a dog. Mary McAllister and Patsy en joying the usual afternoon romp, half a mile from the studio. Whether the wind be cold or warm, the day bright or somber, this little Essanay child star partakes of her recreation in this fashion. And if Mary doesn't mind the weather, then it goes double as far as Patsy is concerned. For Patsy is Mary's humble serv .int. He does he bidding regardless tf what it is. And when the noon day whistle blows at the studios it's out to the beach for these two little stars in Essanay's picture, "Sadie Goes to Heaven." "She loves the outdoors," explained Mrs. McAllister. "Despite her studies and her work at the studio, she man ages to find time for half van hour at the beach each day. In -summer it's for swimming and in winter for romping in heavy clothes. "We have brought little Mary to her sixth year with faith in the effi cacy of good fresh air. And she has come to care more for her noonday romp than almost for her work in pictures. '"Mary's days are full, as a rule. Not only does she spend many hours of iliem at her work, Lut she devotes time to her regular studies and to her tnusic." And Marv herself says: "I love the lake because it brings in so many stones to throw out. I love the outdoors because it's health 'Hi." And says Patsy: "Br-r-rrup-p-p! Growl-growl-br-rrup-p-p!". Which, to those who un derstand, means, "I love the lake be cause Mary loves it. And that's rea son enough for any dog!"

Mr. Churchill put himself in the attitude of an impartial magistrate, considered carefully both sides, and set them forth without prejudice for the public as a jury.
