I was born In Richmond, Surrey, England, and made my first appearance appear-ance on the stage when I was seven years old, at the Old Court theater, thea-ter, London, In a play called "The Itoyal Family." My father was V. H. Denny, of Clllbert and Sullivan fame, and as my grandmother was al.so an actress of considerable note, It Is evident that I wns slated for a professional career from the start After leaving the St. Francis Xavler college la Sussex, I turned CHILDREN'S VSTORY ay THORNTON W.

Vou know It was a long way from the other side of the Old Orchard down to that far corner for one so fat and stiff and sore as Johnny Chuck. At first Polly Chuck would have nothing to do with him. But when after a nap Johnny can?e out to get something to eat she saw how atlff and lame he was and she saw how re had been torn by the teeth of Iteddy Fox. She had heard all about that fight from Sammy Jay and down- deep In her heart she was proud of Johnny Chuck. Now as she saw his wounds she was filled with pity. Very softly she sidled up to Johnnv and gently licked his wounds. She didn't aay a word. Just licked and licked, oh so tenderly. With every touch of her tongue. Johnny Chuck felt his anger because she had refused to go away with him melt away. At last there wasn't a bit left Never had clover tasted so sweet and delicious. Never had Reginald Denny. seriously to stage work. I played London, India, the Orient and New York, In everything from musical comedy to grand opera with the Bandman Opera company. I also spent gome time learning to be a prizefighter under the tutelage of Harry Preston, famous English sportsman, but I soon tired of this and welcomed an opportunity to return re-turn to the stage. I had married Bene Halsman, an actress with the Bandmun Opera company, while we were nlavlne In Calcutta am the close of the World war found us lrt New York, where we signed u contract to annear In one of Shubert'a shows. Hardly had we started rehearsing when the fa nious actors' strike was called, and being one of the first members of the equity, I was forced to obey the summons. Mr. Lee Shubert. know ing of my financial difficulties, loaned me money to live on. At this time the actors strike seemed about the most terrible thing In the world, but It brought about, In an Indirect way, my entry Into the movies. Had It not hap pened, I might never have left the stage, as I hnd never given motion pictures a second thought: In fact I hod always considered them too artificial. However, one afternoon with a party of friends, I did visit the World Film studios on Long Island. Evelyn Oreely was to be featured In two pictures, and more to pass the time than anything else, I signed to play the lend opposite Miss Oreely. As soon as the strike was (Settled I returned to Shubert'a management manage-ment and at the close of his run he loaned me to Arthur Hopkins to play with John Barrymore, but the day after rehearsal began Barry-more Barry-more had a nervous breakdown and I was again at leisure. In the meantime the motion pictures pic-tures that I had played In were be ing shown throughout the country, and as actors were not nearly so plentiful then as they are now, 1 received re-ceived several offers to continue my screen career. At length I signed to play a "heavy" Id a picture, and' followed by playing numerous leads In feature fea-ture productions. Then things came better. I was aproached by nn Independent Inde-pendent Ilini producer who had purchased pur-chased the screen rights to the H a WItwer stories "The I4r1fiiarf Pushers. " and after considerable financial stress they were com pletud and I was signed to a con-trad con-trad on the spot. The rest Is more or less known. I wus made a star soon after the "Leather Pushers" were released, and since that time hnve appeared In countless other features. Recently Recent-ly I married an actress. Betsy Le. Both of us now appearing In Universal Uni-versal pictures. The things tliut stand out as the most Important In what success I have gained are. my trip to the Orient, Ori-ent, the patience and endurance of my father, and the actors' strike In 1913.

Never had the sky looked so blue or the fleecy clouds so white. Johnny sighed. It was a sigh of happiness and contentment con-tentment I'm glad I'm home," he said. "So am I," replied Polly softly. "Home Is the very best place In all the flreat World," continued Johnny Chuck. "Of course," replied Polly. "I've known that ever since we've had a noire." "And this home of ours Is the safest and best home that ever was," snld Johnny. "I wouldn't trade It IIPAIPA tliNQW- for any other home anywhere In all the Great World." Polly Chuck smiled wisely, but she said nothing and after a minute or two. Johnny continued. "You mustn't believe, my dear, all that Is told you of the wonderful thlugs of the Great World," he said. "It has nothing, nothing at all to equal the peace and comfort and safety of our own home here." Once more Johnny sighed and as before it was a sigh of pure happiness, happi-ness, lie had made a great dis covery. He had discovered that the secret of happiness Is contentment, and that contentment Is to be found within, and not without one's self. So despite his stiffness aud lau.e-ness lau.e-ness and soreness, Johnny Chuck was happy, and being happy, there was no room for bad temper. Suddenly Sud-denly it came over him that he was glad that Polly Chuck hnd refused to go away with him when he had Insisted on looking for a new home, and he told her so. Polly made no reply, but went right on licking Johnny Chuck's wounds, and In every touch of her tongue wus love and Johnny knew It, Presently when he had satisfied his hunger he lay down for another nap and beside hlra Polly Chuck sat up straight and kept wt.tch. And when Johnny Chuck awoke they rubbed noses, which is the Chuck way of kissing, and each knew that the old home betw m the roots of the old apple tree In the far corner of the Old Orchard was twice as dear as It had been before Johnny Chuck went away to seek a new home. e. 1U. by T.
