Several years ago I suffered from the most cruel punishment that one human being can inflict on another — unjust accusation. A murder mystery occurred on an adjoining farm, and though no warrants were ever issued, everything was done to make me unhappy. Most of my friends fell away, I was dropped from clubs, and practically ostracised. How well 1 remember the cold, hard stares of former associates as I passed along the streets of my native town. In my bitterness of spirit I turned to one staid friend for solace and com fort— the moving pictures. There, in sheltered seclusion, I could watch the scenes of happiness and innocent gaiety which were denied me in real life. I spent endless hours in picture houses and there eased my mind of its burden and refreshed my spirit in the comforting atmosphere. That was seven years ago, and now the cloud has passed and many people realize the great injustice done to me. But I shall never forget the experience, nor who my real friend was in time of trouble. And — you have guessed it — I am an incurable movie fan. M. B. R. Every advertisement in PHOTOPLAY MAG.^ZINE is guaranteed.
