Thc!o used to Lo a song called "The
Fellow '?'hut Look:? Like Me," It was
s (>i;t< ni;).;t:i:.<-,iti ! willi tho early days
or ". ilver 'ilnoude Among the Hold"
and "Shoofly; Don't Dodder Me." which
menus thal it wac sung aouu alter the
clo: 2 of thc civil war. lt narrated the
Doubles ol' a man who was held re
sponsible for the acts of a double
whose conduct was not always ar. cir
cumspect ar social usages reunir?.
The song was based on the well
known fact that there are so many
person in the world that some of them
happen to be du pl icu les, hot alone in
j narie but in physical characteristics
and social attributes.
This resemblance bel ween persons
who never saw each other and who
have norning else in common is utiliz
ed in one reel of "Our Mutual Girl"
when an unsuspecting salesgirl is
grabbed by men who thing she is the
. missing Margaret She does look like
! the young woman the gangsters be
: lieved her to be, and with nothing but
? a newspaper picture to guide them it
is. not surprising that the mistake v.us
made.
Doubtless many who see the film
showing i he-'kidnapping of the shop
girl win. think for u time that Mar
garet really has been found und will
not delect the error of the kidnappers
until it is pointed out by Ada Taylor.
Detectives will tell you that a pho
tograph of one person often will look
like another, or like a photograph of
tho other person when the two Indi
viduals bear no re:-?>-nhlnnce that ls
noticeable. This is particular ly true
when the features aro somewhat alike
but the height and Welghi; differ ma
terially. The little chap of five feet
nothing may have features like ?be
giant of six feet two, so that their pho
tographs will look alike.''
