"Pay up or get out," replies the hard hearted landlady, when Willie Wandermind (BuddlRoss) endeavors to incite her sympathy for his hard luck. Running Down Click — When are you going to wind up your scenario? Clack — Soon as I get a key to the situation. Few Treats in Screen Work Her new activities for the screen reveal that Anna Held, the French comedienne, who is playing in Paramount Pictures, holds above all other enjoyments two daily pleasures that she is forced to forego while appearing before the camera for the Oliver Morosco Photoplay Company in Los Angeles. These daily treats are late sleeping and an elaborate luncheon. And both are denied her, for they do not count in the success of a picture play. They are the two chief factors to be avoided. A Clever Cartoonist Harry Palmer, the cartoonist, may be said to have a fatherly interest in the making of "Ham and Eggs," a Casino Star Comedy released by the Mutual, since he wrote it.

Anna Held became nervous and forgot her "business," that of gayly tripping onto the stage, among other things. Instead of gamboling upon the rostrum, pretty Anna peeped anxiously in at the door, with a questioning look that made the camera man stop grinding.

It was with difficulty that the handsome Lloyd repressed a smile as he explained that all the "shooting" would be done by the camera. "Ah, your wonderful language!" exclaimed the French comedienne, with a pretty little shrug of astonishment — and perhaps relief. Willie Wandermind paints a luscious order of ham and eggs on his plate before his fiance, Lucille, and her wealthy father come to see him. But the fake meal doesn't go with Lucille. Her father warns the impecunious artist that he must make good before he can marry Lucille. Willie sleeps and dreams he has a $10,000 commission to paint ham and eggs all over New York.
