Scenes on the Western Ranch
The Kay-Bee ranch, at Santa Monica, Cal., the child of Thomas H. Ince, manager and master producer, has sprung into prominence in a very brief time. It covers approximately 2,000 acres, with a stretch olf about 25,000 acres behind it which may 'be used by the concern at any time. The Pacific bounds it on one side and the coast mountains, with their picturesque canyons and high tablelands stretch out into its other three boundaries as far as the eye can reach. There are five directors and several hundred actors working on it. The Kay-Bee and Broncho films are made there for a New York motion picture concern.
The visitors had gone only a few steps when a Confederate officer dashed past on a snorting charger. Around the bend they came upon some dark-skinned girls , and men riding bareback. Across the creek a ifat Indian woman stood outside her little cabin watching the scene. They were all "movie" actors !
A side trip to an Indian village on a tableland several hundred feet above the sea revealed unlimited "atmosphere" and a host of Indian actors, some in their native dress, and some in soldier's uniform, doing Western pictures.
He Spelled It
Bride and groom they were, unmistakably, and the guests writing "wish you were bere" greetings in that Atlantic City hotel were much interested in them. Each sat at a desk and got busy with pen and ink, the silence being broken only when the bride asked how to spell a hard word. These queries annoyed an old gentleman writing nearby, and he was plainly relieved when the bridegroom left the room. The little bride did not know that she had been deserted and she again got stuck on a word.
"How do you spell Cincinnati, honey?" she asked.
"C-i-n-c-i-n-n-a-t-i-h-o-n-e-y," responded Mr. Grouch.

A Warmed-Over Sensation
The professional fire fighter is too frequently face to iface with danger to regard fires in an aesthetic light, but the feeling of the amateur with a passion for "running with the machine" occasionally shows an epicurean flavor.
While running to a fire in a large town in Massachusetts one citizen overtook another, who was going in the same direction.
"Oh, dear!" the last gasped, quite out of breath. "I hope it's not the stove lining works ; I've seen that twice already !"
