players Including Miss Vlnnie Burns,
leading lady and Francis Joyner,
leading man, have been conftend to
their homes for the last three days

"When We Meet' Again," Director
Kaufman, arranged1 with a Philadel
phia department store for use of
their Institution. His electricians
were Instructed to arrange adequate
'lighting facilities and ten'Stands of
carbon lights were taken to the
store, it being Impractical to'use the
overhead mercurial floods.
The work necessary was long and
. constant and-for more than eight
hour sthe players Worked under the
jtreng carbon rays. Monday Is was
found necessary to call a physician to
attend Director Kaufman and Jtwas
learned that Miss 'Bums, Mr. Joy
ner and the rest of the company
were suffering'from a similar all
nte'nt. The exposed skin had turned ;
to a deep electric blue In color andj
? the eyes were badly swollen. The!
physician diagnosed the case as aj
unique case of skin poisoning which i
had undoubtedly been contracted
from the constant subjeotion to the
' carbon rays.
; All are greatly .Improved and are
again back for the completion of the
pictures, although upon the doctor's
advioe, Mr. Kaufman will confine his
company to outdoor scenes for a few
