Sketches from Life

BECK DEJIES CHARGE

OF GRAY tlEBDUfJG

l NAMING CARRIERS

Postmaster Beck, in a statement today, doubts the sincerity of William Dudley Foulke, of this city, in making charges against Finly Gray, congressman from this district, that he tampered with the appointment of rural route carriers contrary to regulations of the civil service commission. Mr. Beck admitted that the congressman practically made the . appointments for Wayne county, but denies that this is contrary to custom. - "Why' didn't ' Mr. Foulke- investigate the . appointments made by Jim Watson," said Mr. Beck. "T.he system has been in operation about nine years and it is seemingly queer that he should suddenly, when a Democrat is in power, realize that there is something crooked with the sy Btem." In the report made by Mr. Foulke, who was delegated by the Indiana Civil Service Reform association to in SHIELDS RELATIVES BY FALSE NAME IN POLICE COURT 1 RIAL On the verge of tears, Frank Smith, as he gave his name to the police on last Wednesday when he was arrested for petit larceny, sat " before Mayor Robbins in police court this morning and refused to reveal his identity when confronted with proof produced by the police that he was not related to M uncle.. people. "I can't tell you Who I am or who my relatives are" he said when questioned by Prosecutor Reller, "It would hurt them. I won't tell even if it works to my disadvantage." No Sympathy Shown. No sympathy was shown by the mayor when he fined Smith, $10 and costs with ten days jail sentence. JURY RECEIVES CASE The case of Edna Wilson against John Flatley went to the jury this afternoon at 2:15 o'clock.

vestigate local condition, criticizes both Congressman Gray and the postmaster-general at Washington but ex onerates Postmaster Beck. - Mr. Foulke, who was president of the Civil Service Reform league states that the proper method of making ap pointments is to ask the local post masters for-recommendations- from the list of ellgibles as made out from the competitive examinations. This, he said, was not done , In the case of these last appointments. In spite of the fact that Mr. Foulke criticizes Finly Gray for "meddling in the appointments," Postmaster Beck said today that all of the appointments so far made have been made from men who received the highest grades on the examination or, whore this is not the case, an object' raised to the character of grade man. GIVES EMPL.-0 REST Broad smiles will adorn the faces of the employes of the Western Union Telegraph company in a day or two with the receipt of a notice from the headquarters of the company giving each employe,- from the manager, i A:" Ryan, down to the smallest messenger boy. an annual vacation.

Requests for the address of Mary Plckford have come to the office. Address letters to 270 Riverside Drive. New York. To the actress used to the glare of the footlights the studio in the open air holds many trials. They miss the enthusiasm of the audience, but most of all they miss the music, an Inspira tion for the most trying emotional scenes. Quite a few of the directors have adopted this scheme, finding that a plaintive strain of music will touch an actress, make her pulses quicken and her tears flow easier. In some of the large studios where a dozen-odd companies are working. it sounds and looks like a three-ring ed circus. Yet in these chaotic conditions we are expected to portray all the human emotions quite as faithfully as if our dramas were being staged before a hushed and appreciative audience. Tragedy and Comedy Close Neighbors. I have cried my heart out in scenes and got up from them exhausted, just because It was really such hard work to shed bitter tears in your set when a director was staging a comedy a few feet away and two comedians were throwing huckelberry pies at the third one. I remember one dramatic moment in a play we were staging, where my old grandfather lay dying and I was sob bing, for he had just told me be was going on a long, long Journey. -Don't leave me. grandaddy. dear, don't leave me." I implored him. Just as I clutched his hand, kissing it tenderly. a misdirected cream cheese came sailing over the top of the wall and nes tled on the pillow a few inches from grandfather's head. The actor jump ed up with a roar (It was ms first pic ture), tore off his false whiskers and said with temperament: "Well. I'm through!" But those were the days gone by. Now our sets are closed in, the workmen are warned to be quiet when we are ready to take our scenes and just beyond stght a violin or a 'cello lures ub into the mood for our love or dramatic scenes. It has been such a help to us. Of course, we do not need music when we are away from the studii, out in the country. There we draw our inspiration from the seas, the skies and the flowers. That is why I loved "Tess of the Storm Country." and "Hearts Adrift." Their drama belonged to the wild places, and I feel free and gay as a bird soon as I get away from the pent-up studios in the cities. WEBB LODGE TO HOLD PAST MASTERS' NIGHT Annual Past Masters' night will be observed by Webb Lodge. F. and A. M., next Wednesday evening.

' Answers to Correspondents. Today I bad fifteen letters asking me if my hair Is naturally curly. Just to be saucy I won't answer one of them and perhaps I have a better reason than that for not doing it-

Helen Greer writes: '-My friends tell me I am very pretty and should become a moving-picture actress. How shall I go about it?" Hundreds have asked me that and I am at a loss what to say to them. If there Is a moving-picture studio where you live I would go and let them decide If they thought your fare of photographic value. A director Is quick to see "type." You will no doubt be given a chance, and if you pnotograph well they will most likely try you out in a very small part, a -bit" we call It. Then If you can act. or the director recognixes a possibility of your becoming an actress, you are considered of value to a company and a certain success Is assured you. So. you see. It Is all up to you. after all. -Miss Harris, of. Atlanta. Ga., asks if we just mumble our lines when the scenes are being photographed or do we really speak lines like the actors and actresses on the stage. Indeed, we do speak our lines, and it is very Important, as what we sar must be what we think and what we are thinking of expresses Itself in our faces. Then, perhaps you remember, the deaf and dumb people can read the lips. If I am playing in a foreign picture I have some one who speaks the language an Italian interpreter for an Italian picture, a Spaniard for a Spanish picture, etc. - And I speak my lines In their language, that they may give more spirit of realism to my acting. I will tell you more about this later, as I Intend to write two or three articles upon it. so many tare asked me the same question. ACCEPTS RESIGNATION Acceptance of the resignation of Miss Dora Ricker as a teacher in St. John's parochial school, which goes into effect on Jan. 1. was made last night by the members of the-Wernle Home-Beard at an executive meeting held at the home of Rev.
