I've been taking them all my life At 18 I left a Montana ranch to go east and become a newspaper man Six months later the editor tuck a chance and fired me My father was glad of it He had always wanted me to be an actor I broke into one of the sketches he had written for vaudeville jumped into motion- pictures and here I am riding wild horses mixing it with burly extras and otherwise Jeopardizing my classic features in the interests of art But the other day I consider that I took the biggest chance of my life In making the big scene for "The Lottery Mail" the director suggested that I rush pelt-melt through a crowd of some 2000 "extras" all of whom had been coached to grab me tear off my shirt tackle me around the knees scratch punch and generally ruin me in every way possible According to the story I'm the prVe In a big marriage lottery lye prothiced to marry the woman with the lucky coupon and 300000 of them have beers sold The mob I ran through are a few of the candidates on hand to see that Justice is done at the drawing I started my 'mad rush and they carried out their instructions to the letter I finally escaped with my life but left half my wardrobe a portion of my left ear and my foolish notions about the "weaker sex" behind I'll believelall the stories about' the famous Russian women's battalion of death now and Kipling with his "female of the species is more deadly than the male" gets my vote Now I'm not a poker fiend or a Wall street speculator or strong for the ponies but that picture has started me thinking lately along the lines of chance Here's the general layout: As Jack Wright in the film I've fallen in love with a pretty girl after starting this lottery I try to have it stopped but it's too late So I do the next best thing I rush out and buy up all the couponsmy limited funds will allow My mother does the same So does the girl And a friend plunges to the extent of 50000 tickets But the lottery is won by a homely old maid who has exactly one chance! Of course I get the girl eventually but it's only by a trick Now what would happen in real life? I used to study a branch of algebra called permutationsand combinations when I was in prep school that tells you how to figure all these things out If you understand the formulae involved you can get up any kind of a raffle you like and you can't go wrong because you can reckon out to the dot Just how many chances' you have to sell to make money I know I used to manage lots of them when I was a youngster The way it works out in "The Lottery Man" which is incidentally to be featured next week at Graurndn's is exactly true to life A young man makes all sorts of rash statements about "marriage is a love them all" and "any pretty girl is good enough for me" Then "she" comes along and Just like Jack Wright in the picture he overthrows' all his previous notions in one fell swoop and rushes out to win that lady or bust! And it doesn't make much difference to him whether she's light or dark rich or penniless a likely candidate for Mr Ziegfeld's Follies or as homely as Ste plopkins That's one thing that can't be figured out by higher mathematics The wise Profs can tell you all about poker and lotteries and Monte Carlo but when it comes to love every man is "on his own" and the heart not the head Is the best guide I've been successfully through it and I know Jap Troupe Heads Pantages Program Patrons of Pantages will see a top notch vaudeville bill next' week with the Nine Royal 113'ena Japs heading the

been revised and elaborated by Rot Cooper Ategrue It le written in four acts A prominent metropolitan daily described the story of th't play as follows: ''The story of 'Under Orders' Is an extraordinary one in that while depending upon the coincidence of elmilarity between two mothers and two sons it is still so ingeniously constructed that one loses sight of its artificiality anci is absorbed only by the intense incidents of its development Nor is the coincidence of the two worsen and the two men resembling each other so difficult to accept when it Is learned that the former are

MasonOffering One of the amazing features of "Under Orders" the famous dramatic novelty which A Ji Woods will present at the Mason operahouse on Monday night for an engagement of one week is the number of players the author has required to develop his powerful story and bring ahout his extraordinary climax It will perhaps stimulate the interest of the reader to realize that the author has evolved a tremendously dramatic four-art play with as few players as It is possible to use on the stage The author by the way is Bert Thomas the well-known English actor and playwright The play was revised and elaborated by Rol Cooper Megrue the famous American dramatist New Thriller to Have Premiere at Alhambra Starting tomorrow the Alhambra theater will 'enjoy the distinction of giving the world premier showing of the Judge Willis Brown production "Surprising Carlotta" starring Ruth Hampton The picture is under the sole direction of the Women's federation a national organization of which the Los Angeles City club is a unit The story is of the ''happy type" full of thrills surprises and astonishments Judge Brown has written successful scenarios but none of the same magnitude as
