Contributors all — lend me your ears ! This department is not for the love-lorn. Those who are amorously inclined may send in their demonstrations of affection, and we will forward them to the adored ones ; but — they will not be printed in these columns. Criticise, appreciate, suggest, laud to the uttermost heaven, and all that is possible will be made public herein, but we must draw the line somewhere, and effusions pertaining to love only is where the line must be drawn.
There is a mystery of mysteries to C. T. Barr, Martins Ferry, Ohio, and this is it :
AX UNSOLVED MYSTERY.
I do not cave to know the cause Of Lillian's dimpled smile,
Or whether Bushman ever was A fashion-plate for style.
I've never worried for a day O'er who makes Johnson's clothes,
Or just what Anderson would pay To have a Grecian nose.
To me it's neither here nor there Why YVallie Van dont grow.
Nor whether Wilbur wears his hair The way he does for show.
To know these things I do not care,
They're all so commonplace — But what I'd like to know is where
John Bunny got that face!
Is any one forthcoming with a solution ?
Excerpts from a letter sent us by John Hayes. Springfield, Mass., should be of interest to Claire McDowell, of the Biograph, and to the Biograph itself:
Gentlemen — Here's good luck and all kinds of success for Miss Claire McDowell, that sterling dramatic artist of the Biograph. I am sure she will climh the ladder of popularity with the other players by enacting a few more girlish parts. A little more publicity, Biograph. We live in 1914. You people have the material, now get in the game hard.
