TOMORROW NIGHT. (.Continued, f rorti, ;Page Five) . 1 1 MY FIRST ROLE Perhaps you will never know how nervous Iwas about my ability to "make good" when I learned that I was . to have a real, true role. . Of course, I had played before the camera before but never before had the entire success of a picture depending upqn me. How many times 1 read my "script," dwelling on the scenes which I believed would be the most important in the finished picture. .Both mother and myself talked about the costumes that I was to wear and the best inter pretation of the part, for all the preceding weeks. I am sure those about must have found us rather boresome, for we were .so delighted that we could think oTiothing else. After my first day of work I was so frightfully tired that I wondered if I would live to go through with it. How did the players do it? 1 wondered. And finally the whole film had been taken and was ready to be shown in one of the projection rooms of the company. As anxious as I was to see mystlf, I entered the room with beating heart, and .almost ran out before they put the little picture on the screen. . , .... Everybody was lovely praising ms enthusiastically when the film was over and predicting my success, within a few months. Yet I knew that ay supreme test was yet to come. What would the cold, critical public say about my first big effort? Would they laugh at the troubles of the little Wood Violet, or would they cry over them? The first run of the picture was ia New. York,, and, both .mother and I entered the darkened auditorium in the middle of the story, immediately my features were gone. My fondest hopes were at last realized. Visions of success floated through my brain in hazy confusion. A sour-faced old man next to me was catching his breath to stop the tears. The human interest j and sympathetic touch had consummated its mission people really did think my work was worth while. Other parts have since helped me in the climb up the ladder of success, but I will never forget this part in "The Wood Violet." It have me hope, and faith in myself: and that is, after all.half the struggle. - h - The money is to b praised on the oint obligation of -4;he 'partie. in in teces,.: fis .underwriters, and .the , in stallment! calls are to extend over a period of ten years," beginning with not. more than 25 per cent, for the first year and 15 per cent for any succeed ing year. The investment feature is secured by the plan of donating fac tory s tes . to the extent , of one half of the property suitable . for , this pur pose, alternating "the locations, so as to reserve for the investors property which must appreciate with the de velopment, and withholding more than half the property to be disposed of as circumstances may determine. The! control of the property would be in ths hands of trustees representing all the interests. Second Jitney Buses.

G. Hawko. "The Sorrows of Love"! is of Ital ian locale, and Miss Barriscale has ft the part of Sister . Beatrice, who is 14 first, seen as "The Lily," in the coh-jf vent of St Cecile. The plot cohcerns mainly her adventures in the outer world, after ..she. .itas fled from the convent, believing she can find a greater mission ; outside . its walls. How she meets and falls In love.:with a young labor agitator, only to meet tragedy and return again to the con sent, has been absorbingly depicted. In the role of Beatrice, Miss ,Barri scale is credited with a remarkable -characterization.
