FRIEND JEAN ygy Olive Green "J E AM " -W gg4fAVW Now bope you'll take this letter, In the way in which it's meant ; But from true admiration. Is the reason that it's sent. Have heard so much about you, In the Moving Picture play ; Your obedience to your master, Be his order what it may. I've heard folks call you beautiful, And that I know is true; But leave it to your judgment, If I'm not as grand as you. Of course, I am no actor, But just a household pet ; And have as kind a master, As any dog had yet. And now I must be closing. Hope to meet you. Jean, some day If only in the moving scenes Of a Motion Picture play. Accept my portrait kindly, Which I surely think you will ; With best wishes for the future, I remain. Your dog friend, Lil. Moving Picture Titles in Rhyme By OTTIE E. COLBURN "Jnst a Bad Kid" is a very clever Picture Play ; "A Winning Miss" will always get a good laugh any day ; "The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of" is certainly worth while, This one would make even "Sober Sal" show her sweetest smile; "The Theft of Mona Lisa" and "For the Love of Mike," Are pictures any "Lookers-on" are very sure to like; "The Surgeon's Heroism," "Two Old Men," "Walk — You Walk," Are very pleasing pictures that will make the people talk ; "The Lost Address," "Saints and Sinners," "Memories of '49," Have lots of good stuff in them, just take this tip of mine. "The Kid of Roaring Camp" and "The Harm That Gossips Do," Are good enough for any one to see, when they're on view ; "Thirty Days," "Foolshead's Christmas" and "The Caddy's Dream," Are the kind that drive 'way trouble and make a fellow scream ; "The Miracle," "Dad's Smash Up," "A Romance of Wall Street," Are a trio of pretty good ones that are hard to beat; "Did Mother Get Her Wish?" "Things Are Seldom What They Seem," Are the kind to try on father when he is feeling mean ; "Joseph in Egypt" and "A Woman's Gratitude," Have class enough to them to be considered very good ; "Life in Our Ponds," "Industries of the South and West," Are educational films that stand the critic's test; "Readin', Ritin' and 'Rithmetic," "Charley's Holiday," Will send the crowds home satisfied, no matter where they play ; "Zigomar," "Delhi Durbar," "The Pride of Lexington," Are interesting pictures, yes, sir, every one ; "The Twins," "Objections Overruled" and "The Laugh on Dad," Have lots of funny stuff to cheer a guy that's sad ; "A Realistic Make-Up" is a good one all the way, It's really worth the price that they ask a guy to pay. One picture of each company has been mentioned in this list, And, now I've got to stop, 'cause my joints ache at the wrist. 48
