He found a farmer’s life rather monotonous, so it was not long before he set his face towards New Ontario, where he did a little silver prospecting. It was here that he took up boxing as a hobby. He found that he managed to knock out so many boys in the camp, that he decided he would ‘take boxing up seriously. He followed this bent for quite a long time, and everywhere he went Tie was victorious.

She has never rushed about from studio to studio, beseeching the directors to give her a part, and somehow the directors have sought her out. Once she had played in a him. other directors heard of her decorative influence, and offered her “ bits.” Among her hrst hlms were a picture which starred David Butler, entitled “ Fickle Women ’ ; a Charles Jones him ; and she was the premiere danseuse in “ The Brass Bottle.” In between her him work she played on the vaudeville stage, and also fulhiled dancing engagements.
