P9PULA& Pl£Y<5 A ">PLAYTO ^€gu*>—»- Grace C. Kenyon, Butte, Mont., writes that she has "dedi- cated the following lines to the King of Hearts and Parts": TO MR. KING BAGGOT. 'm still thinking about "Absinthe," And it grieves me to the heart To think that you, King Baggot, Took such an awful part. I cannot make myself believe That poor, sick fiend was you, And still I saw you acting Just as if the thing were true. You ne'er before have been like that— It didn't seem quite right To see our own loved favorite In such a mood to fight. Of course it was a pow'rful play And showed your talent rare— That time you saw the vision In the bottle standing there. I well remember long ago I saw "The Scarlet Letter," And later on "The Wanderer," In that you were still better. You're wonderful in all your parts. But the best I ever saw Was when you were the hold-up man In "Love vs. Law." "Chip" sends us verse to George Larkin, accompanied by a very earnest note. The note contains more to the glorification of George Larkin than does the verse—hence the excerpt: Wont you please print something about George Larkin, Kalem? The way he's neglected is positively scandalous. Yet he can make big audiences laugh themselves hoarse. Why, when he appeared here in "The Laundress and the Lady" even the orchestra was tickled. We had some dreadful music for a while, but that's a tribute to Mr. Larkin, isn't it? Edna J. Sheehy, of Tacoma, "Wash, makes profound apology to James Whitcomb Riley, and indites the following: TO MISS MAE MARSH. A film sweetheart of mine—I have her picture here with me— To cheer me up when I feel blue and keep me company; A fair and lovely vision, who my loneliness beguiles, And I settle back contented when I see her merry smiles. As I turn the pages of my Motion Pictube Magazine And gaze upon the faces of the stars that I have seen, Still at one I smile the longest, whose expression is divine, And hope she's smiling back at me—this picture girl of mine. I'll not be satisfied till in her company I've been, And as she's won my fancy, so hers I'll try to win, And if by luck we chance to meet, my dreaming I'll resign To meet the living presence of this picture girl of mine.
