Name Street City Irma. — Yes, there are too many companies nowadays trying to imitate the Keystone comedies with the ridiculouslooking policeman. King Baggot was Walter in "The Blood Test" (Imp). Lincoln C. P. — Mabel Van Buren and Helen Kendricks in "When Thieves Fall Out" (Selig). Stella Razetto was Mary Anne in "The Schooling of Mary Anne."

And we venture to say that a "revival of former film favorites" will prove profitable as well as pleasurable. What company will lead the way?
