Other films in which she has been the star are “Cecilia of the Pink Roses,” “The Belle of New York,” “The Dark Star,” “The Cinema Murder," “Get- ting Mary Married," “April Folly” and numerous other films.

Mr. shearn referred to the corpdrats | surplus of tho Interborough as of June 30, 1921, to be $ .878.48, and the assets in associated companies to ve $19,378,244. Then Judge Shearn asked: “Will you kindly tell me what is the justification of carrying in your as: av the same figure that you paid for this stock, that is $2,895,000, stock of a Jeompany that has a deficit of nearly $5,000,000 and that year after year hus been showing a net loss in operation." “Jt is carried at cost because that is eccording to the rules of the commis- sion,” Mr. Gaynor replied. Mr. Gaynor relied on “the uniform system of accounting” for his justi- fication and Judge Shearn asked: “Don't you understand that the whole object of this balance sheet is to show to the Commission and through the Commission to the public solvent?” “It has that for one of its purposes,” As to the solvency of the Inter- borough Company, Judge Shearn pressed Mr, Gaynor further and as | Don't you consider that the main object of a balance sheet is to dis- close whether in fact there is a sur- plus or a deficit?” “The trouble is that that does not complete the question. The facts set out in a balance sheet are for the guidance of whoever will review the document in order to ascertain the condition of the company, Now, the actual surplus or ‘balance depends upon things other than what it has in the balance sheet.” “Well, you mean that they might have 9 different surplus than that which they show by their account? “That is a possibility “Don't you think that the layman, the investor and the commission itself are entitled to assume that when you set down the value of your stocks of associated companies that you bought at $19,000,000 that that represents their value?” “It represents their cost Mr. Gaynor.

ABASHED BY CROWDS. By Ruth Snyder. Samuel Woodfill, outstand- ing hero of the World War, acclaimed by Gen.

This one has stood the test of four years and has to remain bright and shining for many years to come. | epright ere it must be explained that Mrs, Woodfill is all that one {expects a hero's wife to be. Her |nictures do not do her justice at all. Her crowning glory ie a wealth of golden blond hair. Add to this a pair of very inten hazel eyes and a soft drawltng Southern voice and you will just about half picture Mrs. Woodfill as she eulogizes her hero husband. *Woody and I have enjoyed every | minute of this trip and’ ate won- | dertully appreciative of all that has been done for us—but—we are just a | little anxious to get back home,” she \gaid. “The quiet, comfortable home life is what appeals to both’of us, In. Sergt fact, while they say opposites at- tract, it is not true in our case, Our likes and dislikes are very much alike.” Virtue No. 1 of a Model Husband— to like the quiet and comfort of home. “It has gone around all over that I have said ‘Woody’ likes to wash dishes,” continued Mrs. Woodfill. “Why, only the other day a gentle- man from our home State said to me, ‘l hear ‘you have given your husband a new decoration; that of M. H, Of course, I explained to ‘him that I had said my husband washed dishes for me—but [ little dreamed it would be published. “He does wash the dishes. He won't sit down and read his paper until he does. ‘Just because I have finished with my military duties is no reason why I shouldn't help around the house,’ is what he insists. And he knows where every knife and fork, every piece of silver and china be- longs. He can do it better than J can, my mother saya. “Of course, I explained all this to the gentleman from Kentucky and he smilingly said: ‘Well, I see he lives up to my title,’ as my husband held my coat for me and straightened my hat. I do little things for him, too, ‘That is the way it should be, Each should help the other.” Virtue No. 2 of @ Model Husband, then, would be—to help around the house, to go fifty-fifty on all duties, to be considerate of others, But that makes three additional virtues, 4: seem to me. “Sergt. Woodfill and I like the sim- ple things in life. Our tastes run to- ward the neat and tidy but plain things.” We can call that another virtue. “My husband is very quiet and re- served. He doesn't have much to say. That is why I came along with him on this trip. I knew [ wouldn't get much from him in letters or when he got home, so, like the bear that went over the mountain, | came along to see what I could see. And it has been perfectly wonderful. Down in Washington the other day we visited one of the theatres and, unannounced, occupied the President's box. Some- how or other, the news got out that Sergt. Woodfill was im the house “Then the applause was deafening Why, he simply couldn't get away from the crowd that wanted to shake hands with him. After it was all over he sald to me that he would as soon go over the top as meet a crowd like | that.
