^j0^^&£vi S A FEW SIMPLE LESSONS IN THE ART OF BECOMING A PHOTOPLAYER 1—Borrow an untamed bronco from any Wild West show. This is always a good lesson to start with. If he is full of action, your day will not be wasted. 2—After you have mastered the art of riding, allow the bronco to toss you on your ear until you can land without disturbing your anatomy. t 3—The next step is to hire a dress-suit and make love to the prettiest girls in your vicinity. Clasp them firmly to your bosom until it can be done without breaking the shirt-front. 4— V ind a lake or river in which numer- ous cakes ot ice are floating. Plunge in and practice pushing the ice around for several hours. If you survive this, you are ready for lesson number 5. 5—A racing automobile can be purchased for a few thousand dollars, and with steady application can be run at a record clip. Being able to do this will make your services more valuable to any film company. 6—When the circus comes to your town, persuade one of the animal-trainers to allow the most ferocious beast to chase you ten or twenty miles. At this distance it is good practice to climb a tree and see how many days the animal can keep you in suspense. With these few accomplishments and a handsome face, there is little doubt but that you will be much sought after.
