CONSTANTLY SEEN'S PROMISING TALENT "What's the idea?" Among the few onlookers at the Ray studios this question was asked and echoed as Charlie Ray, star of First National attractions, walked up and down a line of several hundred extras, carefully staring into each face, examining the hands, scrutinizing the eyes and drawing off to take in the symmetrical features of head and shoulders. The day's work was over. The extras had gone through the last scene of the big hallroom episode and there would be nothing more for them in that production. And because the star's in rest in them at such a time seemed unusual for anyone who is familiar with the ways of studios, the question was repeated several times. "What's he doing that for?" Ray himself supplied the answer as he returned, smiling, trim and delicatair to his friends. "I always like to go over a crowd line that and see if I can't pick out some one with ambition and real talent who could be used for a part in home later picture." The warm-hearted star has never forgotten that he started in his screen career as an extra. Very few extras—it must be admitted—have ever been able to elevate themselves to a starring role, but Ray is one of the few exceptions. A sudden close up, a shot from "The Coward" and he was made overnight. The latest picture in which Ray starred is "R. S. V. P." now showing at the California theatre. One of the scenes from this called for a ball room set in which many actors participate. Ray followed his usual habit in watching the work of these actors, mostly extras, or society people in it for a lark, very closely. At the conclusion of the picture, after the star had seen it screened, he was unwilling to say that he was ready to pick one out for a role in Rome of his future productions. He did intimate, however, that the work of some of the extras in their routine parts was so able and so conscientious that they would bear further watching. VALUABLE PORTRAIT OF SHAKESPEARE LONDON, March 31.—A portrait of Shakespeare, probably the only likeness of the great dramatist that was made from life, has just been discovered—or rather rediscovered—in one of the London suburbs. This canvas, which measures 50x70 centimeters, bears the inscription, "Guielmo Shakespeare, act. .47. 1611." If the inscription is authentic, the work was done at the beginning of the 17th century when the immortal bard was 47 years old. He is shown wearing a long beard; the forehead is wide and high; the eyelids appear somewhat heavy. There is delicate lace on the collar of the doublet. The owner of the canvas, Roger Kimber, told a reporter of the London Star that his father bought the picture in Chelsea in 1899, and thinking that its artistic and documentary value would doubtless appeal to the authorities of the Shakespeare museum at Stratford on Avon, confided it to their care. Subsequently the picture disappeared and now, after various vicissitudes, has come into the possession of the younger Kimber. S. P. BUYING 50 AUTO CARS LOS ANGELES, March 31.—The Southern Pacific has advertised for bids for 2,000 steel automobile cars of 50 tons capacity for use on coast lines. The company already has 2,-107 cars on these lines. The cars will be equipped with double swing doors and staggered side doors. The order will be the largest, it is said, ever placed by a western road for such equipment. ing to say that he was ready to pick one out for a role in Rome of his future productions.

PREPARE FOR RUSH OF ORANGE MONEY In line with its continuous expansion the American Savings Bank, affiliated with the First National Bank, has begun the work of adding another window to its quarters, to be used by the mortgage loan department. The matter is being considered of taking over again the former director's room, also, which is being used now for a posting machine room, for the directors of the two institutions and using space on the second floor of the building for the posting machine and bookkeepers. The improvements call attention to the growth of the 'American Savings' which when it was started on May 5, 1905, had a capital of only $12,500, and now has a capital and surplus of $100,000, with deposits of more than $1,100,000. E. Zitzmann, cashier, has been with the Americap Savings ever since it moved to the new building in 1917. The two banks at that time had six employees compared with 25 now. The present improvements are the first to be made in the present building. TAKES SECRET INTO HIS GRAVE PORTLAND, Ore., March 31—Fred Love, the ygg who never "wore an alias" and whom officers believe never told a lie, is dead. His lips are locked forever on the secret of the identity of the man who two years ago fired the bullets that made him a paralytic. Two years ago, a policeman discovered Love unconscious in a Portland dooryard. Two bullets fired into his back had damaged his spinal cord beyond all repair. Detective Pat Maloney went to see Love. "Who did it; Fred?" Love looked wanly at the officer leaning over him. "Pat, you've known me for years, and you know I've never snitched." That was all Fred Love would tell. Love "pulled" countless jobs in evens state of the Pacific northwest. HEINIE GROH, the Giants' third baseman will be seen at the same old stand this year. PLAIN DEaler for Good Job Printing. REAL LIVE PRINCE IS HOTEL PORTER NICE, March 31.—"All right, shine 'em up, Sambo, and make it snappy!" Any American visitor is apt to so address a negro servant at the Hotel Ruhl. The guest will not know that the porter is Prince Grahim Kachala Nengami, only living heir to the throne of Kanaoura, in deepest Africa, and one who has been received as royalty by the kaiser and the crown prince, the Empress Eugenie, the Prince of Belgium and the pope. The prince, whose country was divided up between France, Germany and England, is technically a protege of France. He lost his small allowance from the government at baccarat, and was compelled to take his present job shining shoes. BAND OF TINY BURGLARS BERLIN, March 31.—Head of a most successful gang of little burglars at the age of 12 is a record which little Willy Schneider holds. Aged from 8 to 13, the tots are able to boast of a success many veteran burglars may well be jealous of. Willy kept his gang well organized and severe punishment those who did not obey his orders. While two of his "men" were always "on watch," the rest were kept busy pocket picking and breaking into houses. Plain Dealer for Good Job Printing.

LONDON SPORT TO SELL CROWN JEWELS LONDON, March 31.-If all the wives in London who are wearing jewels from the "Russian Regalia" were added together, the sum would almost equal the female population of Syracuse, N.Y. Like the Brooklyn bridge, the famous stone from the ill-fated Empress' crown have been sold over and over again to unsuspecting husbands and given to equally unsuspecting wives. Blame the antique jewelers, not the gulled husbands. It comes about this way. It is Mrs. Jones' birthday, and so Mr. Jones, good British husband, honest, stolid fellow, not overburdened with imagination, finds his gaze riveted in the window of the antique jewelry store downtown. He goes inside and for the modest $75 or so purchases the little diamond circle which, of course, came "direct out of the poor empress' crown, sir," or the ruby ring which was taken "off the dead hand of Czar-Nicholas, you know."
