16 A Big Raise in Salary Is Very Easy to Get, If You Go About It in the Right Way You have often heard of others who doubled and trebled their salaries in a year's time. You wondered how they did it. Was it a pull? Don't you think it. When a man is hired he gets paid for exactly what he does, there's no sentiment in business. It's preparing for the future and knowing what to do at the right time that doubles and trebles salaries. Remember When You Were a Kid and tried to ride a bike for the very first time? You thought that you would never learn and then — all of a sudden you knew how, and said in surprise: "Why it's a cinch if you know how." It's that way with most things, and getting a job with big money is no exception to the rule, if you know how.

Advertising Section On the Fort Lee Ferry How movie life appears to some of the extras on their way to work. By Harold Seton DO you get all your jobs direct from the studios, or do you go to the agents?" "Oh, direct, always ! I only went to an agent once, when I first started in the pictures. It was Mr. Blank, who supplies all the people for the Anonymous studio. He said he could put me in a swell reception scene if I had an extra-handsome evening gown. I thought it was going to be a fine chance, and would lead to big results, so I paid six dollars for a cloth-of-gold sash, and four dollars for some crystal fringe trimming. At the end of the day Mr. Blank gave me a dollar and a quarter ! So I was out eight seventy-five on the deal!" "There is that woman and her two little girls, Ella and Bella !" "Ain't it shameful the way she drags them around from studio to studio every day of the year, hot or cold, rain or shine?" "She never does a blame thing herself, but just makes them children support her \" "Some people say they ain't children at all, but dwarfs, kept small by being soaked with whisky \" "I ain't never heard that ! I guess they're kids all right ! But they say she starves them, so as to make them look sad ! They're awful good in sad scenes ! Some one told me they don't get nothing to eat but fish bones and orange peels !" "I'm on a pitcher with Celia Lloyd ! And the airs she puts on would make you sick! You know she used to be a chambermaid in a cheap hotel \" "Oh, most of the star actresses is terrible common ! I've been working with Constance Collins. She thinks she's something great, but people say she used to be a cash girl at the fiveand-ten !" "Just like Marguerite May, used to be a waitress at Childs' twenty or thirty years ago !" "But what makes me madder than anything is all this fuss about Mary May Marvel. Do you know what she used to do before she made a hit in the movies? She used to be a ragpicker, and everybody in Los Angeles can tell you so ! They remember when she used to go around with her grandfather, calling out 'Rags and bottles!'" / Onr Composer will W write the music — a e'll 'have complete song r printed and copyrighted in your name according to our special plan.
