Y. a !■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ On the Bounce Chaplin usually enjoys a joke, but in one of his rehearsals, when a comedian with the most worthy intent thought he ought to bounce, Chaplin did the bouncing himself. The fall was from a high wall, and the comedian stationed below was to catch him in his arms. When Chaplin fell, the comedian stood one side with a serious air, and Chaplin picked himself up from the ground and inquired in choice selections from several foreign languages why he had not been caught. The comedian was much puzzled. "I thought we would get a much funnier effect there if I caught you on the bounce," he explained. "So we will," announced Chaplin quietly. "I bounce you right now from this company." Harold's Ambition Young Harold, who had just returned from the motion pictures and was very joyful over having learned the name of one of the actors, began his evening prayer: "Oh, Lord, I know that I have been a bad boy, 'cause I ain't said my prayers for two nights; but, you know, I was so sleepy that I couldn't say them, 'cause I went to the picture show both times. "Now, Lord, I will not be a bad boy no more if you will let me grow up and be a funny man and have a mustache like Mr. Chaplin's. Amen." as The Explanation Mr. and Mrs. Smith were attending a picture show. A lady seated directly behind them kindly explained the pictures at great length and with much distinctness. Finally the explanations ceased, and Mr. Smith turned around. "Did the talking machine run down?" he asked. "No, " wearily replied a man who had sat beside her. ' ' She went home. ' ' m A Discord The motion picture actor had made an unsuccessful attempt to secure an advance from the manager. "Did you try to play upon his sympathies?" asked a friend. "Yes; but I couldn't get a note out of him." This Way Out Mr. Stay late — I've just thought of a splendid idea for a scenario.
