Airily, daintily, Mary Long, 915 East Madison Avenue, Youngstown, 0., eulogizes Lillian Gish :
TO MISS LILLIAN GISH.
illian ! rose of the garden, Flower of eternal day, There are oceans of joy in your smile, That driveth our sorrow away.
A little too small for a Venus —
Oh, no ! that is not as I wish ; We'll say that the goddess of old
Is too tall for a Lillian Gish.
Lillian! flower of the garden,
Sprinkled with morning dew, I know that the Fates have decreed
A glorious future for you.
Amidst the beauties and gallants of the screen, F. J. G. has not forgotten the ' ' Kiddies. ' y She tells us so in
MOTION PICTURE KIDDIES.
ach month I read this magazine
And seldom have I seen A little verse or kindly word To children of the screen.
Dear little shadow children
Of the Motion Picture play, Best greetings I am sending
To all of you today.
I wish all joy and happiness
That heaven can bestow To all the little kiddies
Of the Motion Picture show.
No doubt many of the thousands made merry by Ford Sterling will join in the rousing cheer started by Sydney Russell in these lines :
our readers adore the screen heroes galore;
Fair maidens inspire the Muse ; But never a word from them all have I heard
For a man who dispels all the blues. When his film is showing, the laugh's always going;
You cant keep it in if you try ; First a smile, then some more, then a laugh, then a ROAR —
Three cheers for Ford Sterling, say I.
If you dont know him well, you can easily tell
That it's he by the hair on his chin ; He gave little peace to the Keystone police —
As captain he had them "all in." And thousands in sorrow have laughed on the morrow
At fun he alone can supply ; So I'd share half and half with the man full of laugh —
Three cheers for Ford Sterling, say I.
