§ T he honors for deeds of daring go this month to Florence LaBadie, who jumped overboard from a swift-moving ocean liner. Marc MacDermott wins second prize. Among other things, he had a fistic battle on top of a twenty-story building— and fell off! Bern to King and Queen Baggot, a son and heir, weight ten pounds. Wanted— Players made of India rubber. Apply to Keystone Company. The Eastern Eclair Company is no more. Ford Sterling has a rival in little Matty Roubert. He imitates F. S. so that you cannot tell them apart, except for size. And now they are saying that Cissy Fitzgerald (Vitagraph) has the brightest face on the screen. She doesn't use Sapolio, either.

Herbert Kelsey and Effie Shannon, who twenty-five years ago were New York's favorites, have just played in a film of "After the Ball."

William Clifford (101 Bison), on returning home from the Hawaiian Islands, found that his wife had presented him with a daughter. Both daughter and father are doing nicely. By the way. aren't these Frohmans the same ones who, a few years ago, would not deign to allow their stage stars to appear in Moving Pictures? Octavia Handworth, of the Excelsior Company, is becoming a golf expert— a gallery follows her daily over the course at Lake Placid; a score of 45 for the nine holes is a common achievement. William Garwood has a "strong" leaning for his onion farm at Santa Barbara when not on duty. Dont breathe this to a soul! Carlyle Blackwell is now starting a company of his own. He will produce one feature a month. 125
