How it Happened

Barrymore, sett.ng a row of liniment bottles in handy array on his dressing table, "it was this way: I open the picture sedately by sliding on my trunk into the stateroom of a perfect stranger in a storm at sea. They promised to pad the floor with mattresses to break my fall ; but the trunk had once belonged to a traveling salesman, and from force of habit it did a baggage-car leap for life, and I obeyed the laws of gravity — without the mattresses.

He Could Not Understand It
A short time ago two young fellows went to the motion picture theater in a Canadian town. The picture was an English love story. The hero, an English army officer, was about to leave for the front. In
their actress sweethearts, but The Prince, in "Nearly a King," must choose between a kingdom and a sweetheart.
FAMOUS PLAYERS
Jack Barrymore in one of his best scenes in "Nearly a King." He had trouble with his uniform as well as his monocle. A screen footman accidentally dropped a highball over it, and Barrymore was forced to retire to his dressing-room and stop the rehearsal while the studio tailor cleaned and pressed the uniform. The next morning Barrymore made a point of ordering an understudy uniform.
bidding his sweetheart goodby, he took her face between his hands. Of course everybody thought that he was going to kiss her. Instead, he let her face slip from between his hands. At this climax, of course, the music stopped; thus the theater was very quiet.
"Oh, the darn fool!" exclaimed one of the young men.

"What's it doing, mother?" he called out. "Building its nest?"
