A Brown-Eyed Comedy Girl
v pATSY DE FOREST,
a Lubin girl, was ready for her chance when it came. That is why she V j&Wfcj always wears such a charming smile
#f R — because she got her chance.
There were eighty girls taking a shy at the chance, too. She was tried out in a picture and went through her scenes with such charming ease that the other seventy-nine hadn't a ghost of a chance.
Patsy is mighty popular around the studio, but she has an Angora cat, named Billy, who might be more popular. Billy prowls around the place, seeking what he may devour, and he makes no bones about devouring what he seeks. Anybody who is careless enough to leave a lunch about the place immediately begins to inquire as to the locality of Billy before he accuses anybody else of its disappearance. And Billy calmly seeks the protection of Miss De Forest's shoulder and sticks out his tongue at his accusers.
"Billy wouldn't touch a thing," explained Miss De Forest, "but he got a bad name one day, and ever since they blame everything on him. He got the bad name through the carelessness of one of the directors, who had been wanting to go fishing for a long time. Finally he had a day off and laid in a lot of fish for bait. He left it around loose, and Billy just wanted to taste a little of the fish — you know how cats like fish — and first thing you know all that bait was gone. Of course Billy got blamed for it, because he happened to be seen hanging around the vicinity. You wouldn't touch anything that didn't belong to you, would you, Billy?" "Na — ou!" said Billy, purring like an exhaust engine.
THE PROPOSALS ARE RECEIVED.
Patsy De Forest, Nancy Baring and Adelaide Hayes in "His Three Brides." Willie Montague's proposals of marriage are received. They conspire to punish him.
"See?" said Miss De Forest. And Billy must know.
"Billy says he didn't."
A Good Lender
First motion picture actor (indignantly) — Say, what did you want to go and tell folks I was borrowing money for?
Second actor — Well, I only mentioned it to one or two particular friends.
First actor — Well, don't ever do that again, else I'll never borrow another dollar from vou. See?
HIS THREE BRIDES.
Deborah Pottle, a fat, elderly widow, is in love with Willie Montague, who is a made-up, conceited old man, fancying
every woman he meets in love with him. He proposed by letter to three girls, who send one of the proposals
to Daborah and urge her to prepare to marry the ancient beau.
