Bright Hints For Human Beings
By “US” or “WE”
LOSING A FRIEND
By Marshall Lorimer Oh yes — I CRIED! I’m not ashamed To own up that I Cried;
When her lithe body lay all maimed Before me — E’re she died — !
I lost the truest Pal I had:
She analyzed each mood,
When I seemed happy — she was glad,
My Friend, just understood.
How many friends have you, who feel Your grief, straight to the heart;
Who stand by you, and won’t conceal Their humanizing art?
If you had One, and that ONE d-i-e-d!
I’m wond’ring what you’d do;
Would you restrain your tears — through pride, To pay your Friend — his due?
It seems to me, One’s friends are few,
That is the KIND I mean:
The KIND who always stick to you,
In any kind of scene.
Great God! your heart would be of stone,
If you could see him — PASS;
And knew that you would be alone —
To face each day — Alas!
Now you can understand just why —
I’m in this sorry plight.
My TRUEST FRIEND has gone; and I,
Feel lost — somehow, Tonight.
But Yesterday, she licked my hand,
Her Tail wagged when I gave Her Morsels, then she learned to stand,
And showed how Dogs behave.
She’d give each Paw, and yawn, and speak As human as you please;
Then rolled, and showed me how to seek A few fictitious fleas.
She knew a heap of tricks, and tried To learn more every day,
Her Tricks, and she, are laid aside —
I’ll miss her pranks, I’ll say.
Dear little Friend! you’ve gone to mix Where Doggies go — who are True Pals. Perhaps Some-one, will fix Your Soul — into a Star (?)
The Firmament is plenty wide To have a DOG-*-STAR there:
Good-Night Dear Pal, I’m glad I CRIED ! You’re worth the tears I spare.

CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG STAR IN “THE WOMAN OF BRONZE”
Actual filming has been started in Hollywood of “The Woman of Bronze,” Clara Kimball Young’s newest starring picture to be produced by Harry Garson for Metro release.
This feature was translated by Paul Kester from the French novel by Henry Kistemaecher and was adapted for the screen by Hope Loring and Louis Lighton.
King Vidor directs this picture. He recently completed the direction of Laurette Taylor in ‘‘Peg O’ My Heart.”
The supporting cast for Miss Young in “The Woman of Bronze” is headed by John Bowers, Katherine McGuire, Lloyd Whitlock, Edwin Stevens and Edward Kimball.
The photography will be in charge of William O’Connell. Joseph Wright is art director. The latter was responsible for the “sets” in “Enter Madame,” which played at Loew’s State last week.
Orlando Gertez, talked about as a possible successor to Rodolph Valentino since he is exactly of that star’s type, has issued a denial of the rumor to the effect that he in engaged to wed Claire Windsor. “Yes, we are friends — good friends — but that does not justify such extreme rumors,” he says. * * *
Gladys Walton is working on “Carey Came to Town.” Is this one on Harry?
Max Linder’s next picture will be an elaborate production on the order of “Robin Hood,” excepting it will be a travesty instead of a serious drama.
Wallace Reid has practically recovered from his recent illness and will soon be back at the Lasky studios making another picture.
