OUR Information Is In
part correct," said San
ta Claus, receiving the
interviewer in the It
brary of his ice palace.
"It is true that I have
received several flatter
ing offers 'to star in
moving picture produc
tions. But it is not
true that I have ac
cepted any one of these
propositions. I am still
in doubt as to whether
it would be the proper thing..
"I have my duty to the children of
this world, and I must not impair my
health or my power of service to them
by the strenuous work demanded In
the movies. No dorbt I would prove
a very popular star at the children's
matinees. But I wonder if the chil
dren who see me In their dreams do
not get a better and more flattqring
idea of me 'than they woul'd in the
picture.
"You see, my dear sir, the camera
does not lie. I am sure it would not
lie for me when it will not tell false
hoods about the appearance of kings
and potentates. Every child In the
world thinks of me as a very hand
some old gentleman. Some of them
may have an idea that I am inclined
to be a little stout-but a good many
others imagine I have as graceful a
form as that of a young soldier. They
think I curl my whiskers and have a
beautiful wave in my long, silky locks.

-"They are not aware that your uncle
Santa is getting so fat that there isn't

deer over the treetops, when 1 am set
upon by a band of aeroplane pirates.
The pirates make me hold up my
-hands and thek divest nie of my stock
of toys. Just when the banditplano
is about to fly away, leaving me in
distress, the chief of the robbers
makes a discovery.
"Amid the pack of toys he finds a
rag doll. By the tag around its neck
he sees that it has been addressed to
his little daughter. My thoughtfulness
in remembering his little girl, despite
her father's profession, touches the
bandit's heart. He weeps, and then
to the astonishment of his pals, he
orders them to lift me into the aero
plare.
"'Now, Mr. Claus,' he says, accord
ing to the subtitle, 'we are going to
deliver your toys for you all over the
world tonight. Give us directions and
we will fly wherever you command.'
"So at my direction, the bandit's
aeroplane starts delivering the toys,
making much better time, let me tell
you, than my poor reindeers %rho were
left behind. Things are going along
fine. Our aeroplane toy conveyance
has covered Canada, the United States.
Australia and South Africa, when sid
denly, to our dismay, we find that we
are being pursued.
"'More pirates?' I ask in alarm.
"No, the aero-police!' shouts my pi
rate friend.
"The police had found my empty
sleigh and motionless reindeer. They
naturally concluded that i had been
robbed and kidnaped. Now they are
on the trail of my captors. The pi
rates are very much afraid that if
arrested, they will be hanged at once.
The police craft is gaining upon us.
In order that the pirates may escape,
they decide they must throw all of my
toys overboard. The vicious crew de
mands that your old friend St. Nick
be thrown overboard too; as I am pret
ty heavy, besides being the cause of
all the trouble.
"The race continues through the
sky.
"I want to raise the white flag as a
token of surrender. I rledge myself
to the captain of the pirate aeroplane
that I will plead the cause of himself
and his crew and secure their release
rrom the police. I tell them that the
police will do them no harm, after I
have explained their kindness in car
rying my toys all over the world.
"The police craft is now so close
that escape seems impossible.
"'Give me a white flag,' I cry.
"'There isn't a white flag on board
-nothing but black flags.' says the pl
rate. 'Hurry up and do something
You have no time to lose. If you don't
surrender they will shell us. And in
that case, we will have to throw you
overboard, St. Nick.'
"My mind works quickly. I have no
white flag. My handkerchief, like
those of the pirate's is a red bandanna.
W-hat am I to do? Whiz! Another
shell rips past our airship.
"Ali! I have it. It is the scheme
that saves the day."
The interviewer at this point leaped
to his feet and shouted in excite
ment:
"Well, wvhat (10 you do to have your
iife?"
"I wave my white whiskers at 'em,"
replied Santa Claus, proudly. "It is
the signal of truce. Our lives and our
precious cargo of toys are spared.
What do you think of that idea for a
play? They wvant to name it, 'Santa
Claus in High Life.' Do you think I
would make a hit as the star? Well,
['mn glad you think so."
