That it can be any:hiiiL' but good seems impossible, seeing :hat those funny fellows (Ju Yorke and I Leonard, whose photos appear on this page and who made London High with Potash and Perlmutter, are both featured in the above-uamed film. It is ixo id ti p laugh, and thi will give u-^ ■ opportunity to laugh at a good thing. \ Pat he Picture Paper. The new paper, which on another pat:'"' is offered free to readers of Pictures, is to be published primarily to illustrate and describe Pathc producLike all the films released by mous house, it is sure to be good, ind of course it will in no Way compete with Pictures and Thi; Pictcre iioKi;.

Bromley, the other day. he told me of two old laili" who had come to his house the night before and loudly objected t" wait in the queue for threepenny -eats for which thej had paid. An attendant suggested they should take transfers to the sixpennies. Whereupon one of the eld ladies rnshed to the pay-box, shook her umbrella, banged down sixpence, and shouted. " Young woman, give me tvto.transports !" The poor old dear must have been thinking of th" war, but anyway -he and her friend were safely transported to the "sixpennies" without being torpedoed. Dispelling a Difficulty. So many readers write in evei'j week to complain that they cannot obtain Pictures that, in addition to my oftrepeated advice to place a standing order with any newsagent, I have decided to include an order form in every issue. Now, please! all ye who have difficulty, turn to page 366, fill up the form therein, and hand same to your newsman, and all will be well. Elisabeth Risdon's Prizes. Since referring last week to " ducle Tim's" Competition, to the winners in which Miss Risdon is awarding prizes, the popular actress writes me ; " The doll is ready, and I have dressed a smaller one for a little consolation prize. T -hall not have the puzzles cut until 1 know the names of the prize-winners, as I thought it would be a good idea to add the winners' names.'' The prizes in question are a handsome doll and a smaller doll, both dressed by Mi-Risdon, for the girls, and two jigsa v puzzles. Extension of Time. It is such a rare opportunity for the children that I have induced " Uncle Tim" to extend the date for sending in the verses. Children under fifteen are to write a verse or verses, with .Mi- Risdi in for -ubject, and post them to her, c.o. Pictures, 85-86, Long Acre, London, W.C. The last day for sending in is n >w Monday next. January loth. So let ns see what our youthful readers can do. F. D. 19 Won 2d . .t Wind ,i(l(i w.n il 3 Insertions price ol 2.
