night after night ; that's the difference.
'VQnee a photoplay has been put on, the leads have to be on tlie ioh until it is completed, This was for ed borne to me in Tried tor JELit Own Murder,n forthcoming Vitagraph production. 1 have had a beautiful Scotch collie since ho was a pup, and he played with me in this film. Wnen we had only half completed it my pel died. It was fortunate that we had taken all the mountain scenes, and if when you see the film you may think me unkind not to have taken the dog back to the city with me you will know the reason why.*'
During our interviewer's visit Miss "Baird remarked: "The effect of the European War is far-reaching. It has even stopped our pilgrimages abroad for ' atmosphere.' "
And she is qualified to speak on the subject with authority, as she made a trip to Europe in 1913 to play in Universal productions.

From a Dalhi Raadar.
■•Thank very mncta for forwarding tho papers. They were very ranch appreciate 1 by all th ■.!>:/>-. (Jin here. Picrr/ae^ seoms such a change after the usual ran of penny papers. Out here wo have bad quite a hot time. We have had a lot of trouble on tha frontier, and have lost nnmbars of oar man. It seems so strange that the people at home should not hear much about the -crap, for it was really quite serious. But now we are back again in Delhi, and things have quietened down a lot u) away on the frontier.
]•'. 11. (Dalhi). Tea-bone Stew.
■■ I had such a good laugh tho other day; I really conldn't help it. 1 happen to know a young geutlem tn -in fact, have known bin since I was a very little girl md he ifond of travelling. On bis last visit abroad he went up to Cob >lt and ' took on the job of cook in one of the sftver-taines. Whil h 1 was there a 'movie' stock company visited the place to take a lot of scenes for a film. (). . course it was something fresh for the miners, and they made some remarks that set the leading lady laughing so that she couldn't stop. Then the lovely hero strodeover to the bunch of ' boys,' ami alas! said a few naughty w>rds! Anyhow he was a real good American fellow, and when he walked into the Caffs at night I think he must have been quite a favourite ; but the le 1 ler of the.strikera ha is you can tell me his nam ! -was not very popular, so I gather. Well, the gentleman I know cooked the hero's supper tor him. and he told m9 that it was 'tea-bone ste v h • 111 ide. Now I had better tell von the nam of th • film ! Why. it was The D>llar Ma k\ and when I read that the leading man was Robert Warwick I hid to chuckle. This story is quite trus, and if I get tin chine ! to see the film I'm sure 1 sh ill hurst oat laughing at the thought of R ibeit eating that stew." I. N. (Watford).
