Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section Marietta Serves Coffee ( Concluded J his person as surety for the bad debt so unwittingly contracted. UnvviHing to accept these, yet s>TBpathetic, the hotel man urged him to tell his whole story to the bank. At this time he could speak no English, yet he made his way to the depository, found a clerk who spoke German, and was just pouring his tale into his ears when the lirst vice-president — wJio was a linguist as well as a linancier — overheard, and called Urban into his office. He came out with money for his immediate needs and a hundred dollars for his expenses back to Boston — where, of course, he had a studio, and work in abundance quickly to rehabilitate himself. That vice-president is a bank president now, and he and Urban are fast friends. Urban restored his account there as quickly as possible, still maintains it, and the bankpresident's boast is that Urban has never made a stage-setting in New York that he hasnt seen. 1133 The Little Girl in the Parsonage ( Continued from page 35) field in which he was winning swift recognition. Then the whole family moved to Brooklyn. And there, joy of joys, Doris might go to dancing school. It was wonderful, but still — Some of the girls had such darling dresses! All frilled and fussed up with lace and ribbons and fringe and everything! Especially fringe! Doris would have been glad to go to Heaven if she had been assured of fringe on her angelic robe. SOON after that, Doris made her first appearance on the stage. The play was "My Aunt From California." It was given by a church society, and Doris took the part ; of a charming maiden named Felicia. She loved it, with its chance to wear a long dress, put up her mop of shining curls, and use grown-up language. But she had to kiss the herot At every rehearsal, Doris faltered when ! she came to the critical point. "We needn't kiss until the real night," she'd say. And then the "real night" came, and Doris' courage failed. She simply could not lift her face and kiss the man, impulsively, as she was supposed to do. She grew scarlet, she stood still, she waited, while the prompter hissed from the side, ''Go on, Doris! Do it!" The audience "caught on" and began to laugh. The big, blond hero took things in his own hands, bent — and Doris was kissed, while the audience applauded hilariously ! So you can see why I, looking back to this night of Doris' first appearance, marvelled at the bit of daring, sophisticated femininity, which was Doris Kenyon now. I thought of all the years I had known the Kenyons; of the scholarly critic, editor, and poet who is her father ; of the dignified, conservative la'dy who is her mother; of the charming married sister, with her growing family; of the brother who is a member of the New York state legislature. I thoucht of her quiet home, which has never lost its atmosphere of the wholesome American family that recognizes religion as a vital part of life. "It's a long, long trail from the little girl in the parsonage to The Girl in the Limousine,' " I thought, with a sigh for the girl of long ago. I had luncheon with her at the end of the season. I'm so glad I did. For at the iiorni Mother! You can always depend upon genuine "California Syrup of Figs," but you must always say California or you may get an imitation. .
