Bettie Parker, who has a principal

cs! comedy . success, "Going Up,"
which will.be at the Brandeis for
four days 4 starting : today, likes
nothing, better than to loiter around
a theater box-office, but she was
recently cured of , trying to tbe a
ticket seller. Since the war started,
women have replaced men in a num
ber of theater box offices, and while
pitying a town in , New England,
Miss Donnelly relieved the ticket
seller, while- the latter went out to
lunch. He first customer was - a
Back Bay matron.' '
"l want two seats down front,"
said the matron, t .- 4 '
'Yes, ma'am," said the ticket sel
ler, "here's two good seats in the
. aixth-rowcenter." -. V--4.
f"Young woman," said the matron
sternly, "I said down ' front; the
sixth row is not down front".
"But there are no good seats left
in front' of the sixth row," said the
ticket seller. "Remember they have
been on sale for a number of days.
"That a what you ? ' box-pffice
women always say," said the
woman". "I must bave seats nearer
than the"1 sixth row." f .
, Miss Parker fumbled at the rack
and brought forth a pair of ' seats
in the fifth row, away on the side,
not half as good as the ones she
offered the .woman She passed
them to her1 and she ' grinned tri
umphantly.. "I knew yon' were ly
ing,", she said. "I wouldn't, take
them at all, only' they tell me that
this Parker woman is very beauti
ful and a great dancer."
- "Yes, ma'am, said the ticket sell
er. " "Four dollar, please, and 40
cents for war tax."
."Young woman, are you sure that
war tax goes to Uncle Sam? I have
my doubts about it," said the wom
an, flouncing away with her tickets.
"Cafc you beat that?" said Miss
Parker mopping her brow. "I don't
think I would like to sell tickets.
Geef It's time for me to make up;
where is the regular ticket seller?
Ah, "here she comes." ,

As was befitting it was immediately
presented to Mary MacLaren. Now
that famous poem of our schooldays
will have to be revised to present
tense. ' - , ' .v
If the motion picture industry
should suddenly become a matter of
ancient history Mary MacLaren,
should not have a difficult time find
ing work. In the majority of her
pictures she has had to learn the
role of a working girl and has mas
tered several positions which would
promise at least a livelihood. In "The
Plowwoman," made long ago, she
learned how to till the soil;, in "A
Model's Confession" . she lived the
life of a fashionable mannikin; in
"Bread" she was initiated into the
arts and artifices of the chorus girl;
in "Prairie Gold," which she has
just completed, she portrayed the
role of a servant girl; and in "The
Weaker Vessel," on which she is
now working under Paul Powell's
direction, she ; plays through a
greater portion of the picture as a
waitress in a child's restaurant ..

"111.8 Unpainted Woman'
v.
"The Unpainted Woman" is a atory of a country village; its so
called aristocracy; its snobbery and bitter class distinctions; a young
wife who uncomplainingly submits to taunts and virtual ostracism
because, though but a hired girl, she dared to marry the scion of one
of the "best 'families"; and later, as a widow, how she through her
courage and sweetness of character forces down the barriers and '
comes into her own. ,V .
Supporting Mary MacLaren as leading man is Thurston Hall,
the well known Morosco star, who has won acclaim from coast to
coast through his interpretations of the leading roles of "Ben Hur,"
"Salvation Nell" and "The Girl in Waiting." His screen character
ization of Martin O'Neill under the direction of Tod Browning is
said to be the supreme triumph of his career. ' . . " '
Another star in the cast is litttle Miciey Moore, small son of
Nora Moore, the famous English actress. His brother, Pat Moore,
will.be remembered as playing in "Tbe Squaw Man."
