Mr. George A. Lindsay, of Nashwauk, Minn., has had varied experiences theatrically; therefore he lauds appreciatively:
PLAYERS I HAVE SEEN.
You may write about the players, such as Miss or Mr. So and So, But for fifteen years I followed the biz and worked in many a show ; 1 was out with John L. Sullivan, saw Kilrain and Corbett, too ; I worked the "Jolly Show Girls," and was also with John Drew. One season with the circus, the next with Parker's one; Eollowed "Uncle Tom's Cabin" — next season on the bum. Naturally, I've seen many players — had a chance to judge them, too, My opinion may not make much diff, but I'll give it to a few. That, of all the players I have seen, two were the most funny — Miss Flora Finch, with her expressional phiz, and Mr. Johnny Bunny.
We have a contributor to whom the wealth of Midas would be but lunch-money. She has sent us checks to distribute among nearly every photoplayer. Unless they are on the screen for art's sake, they will certainly retire. The following is an illustration of this unexampled liberality :

Luella Sheehy, of Portland, Ore., sends us a letter warmly defensive of Mae Marsh. We assure her that neglect has been unintentional and hasten to print her letter, that we may be vindicated :
I have noticed in your department that you never mention Mae Marsh, and cannot understand it. There is no better emotional actress on the screen today, and she is but a girl of seventeen. One never sees her making useless gestures, constantly raising her eyebrows or acting "stagey." She has few equals and no betters in the line of photoplay and is deserving of more praise.

THE LEADER OF THE SILENT DRAMA.
here is a photoplay actor
Who played in "A Leader of Men" ; He once was a good benefactor
And saved a young chap from the pen.
He was good in "A Country School Teacher
Better still in "The Endless Night" ; He lias often scored as a preacher, And his next is "The Parasite."
So here's to this photoplay actor.
And I wisli him the best of success. For he surely is Lubin's chief factor, And liis name you can easily guess.
George A. Watson
