"Smiling Billy" Mason's;

visit in Hammond MayResult in Komance. The (ins thing that abates the illuminating-an-.iie of BUI Mason, ths lruvio actor (in pprson) at th Patrhe-

lu.n is a mash ttoie. According to his (

manager, T. C. rr'aun, -Smiling Billy hns an aversion for that ft-rm of literature. He lorfg since failed to get a kick fro:vi the "fterusal of a mushy f piftlo. Serf on struck girls are invariably the ai::hrrs and the- prime motive is t: "r.t in the movies" or to havn a Icmr from a movie actor to exhibit to their friends. A letter from a male screen star, even if it be put an acknowledgment, is considered a splendid bait to use on a "steady" who is inclined to balk. Sometimes, however, silly girls get a "ase" on a movie actor merely from viewing' his silhouette on the cinema screen or his "psygog" in the movie magazines. And when they have an opportunity to view him in person over the footlights. Uncle Sam's postal postal business takes a decided spurt. II VMMOXD MEX SOI LIXS?. "Dear Mr. Mason." writes one Hammond girl. "May be you v. I'd think it is awful bold of me to write to someone I wasn't properly introduced to but after seeing you at the Parthenon I know you are not the kind of a man that would try to take advantage of my writ ing you- without being properly introduced first.' I can't help writing yoti because you ar3 so different from the men in -Hammond. The men

in Hammond haven't any souls an i

they would think that if they got J letter from a girl they never was properly introduced to that it was ah invitation to get fresh. You haven't any idea. Mr. Mason, what a girl with a 5-oul and romantic idas has to put

up with from the men in Hammond, Mr. Mason. "When I first saw you In a picture I wag won by your lov'.y mile, Mr. Mason, and 1 knew when I saw your pictures in the magazines that yyu were a man of high ideals and not like the men in Hammond who are a lot of pigs and don't know - what it's all about. "I was at the Parthenon last niht at the first show. I sat in .the fifth row on the right side. You can place me now because you smiled at me. I could tell you were attracted to me and. oh, "Mr. Mason, wlv-n you winked at me I was so happy! I knew you weren't like the Hammond men and that you could understand a girl like me with wonderful talent even if we haven't been properly Introduced. I'm a dying to wro into the movies Mr. Mason and with a man like you to inspire me and help me I know that I could become a star. Everybody says that I have good looks and ability and all I need is to have somebody introduce me to Mr. Griffith or Mr. Condylar. . "I'll be at the show tonight. Mr. Mason, in the same seat and if you nod you head I will know ihat you will meet me after the shuw at the ice cream parlor at the corner of I Tollman and State streets. I will wear a white canton crepe dress with white stockings and white shoes so you will be able to pick me out. "Please don't think I am forward. Mr. Mason. beeausR I am writing to you without a proper introduction, lam differmt from other girls and 1 know you arc different from the Hammond men. I Just couldn't help writing to you even though wc haven't bfen properly introduced because I was drawn to you by your wonderful talents and I can tell you have a soyl and so have I.
