STAR BOYS MAKE NOISE?
HEARING IS BELIEVING
Jolly Crowd of Riddles Wind
Up Week of Pleasure
at Cosmos.
Noise? No, Noise!

NOISE. NO, NOISE.
That's the way to spell it when a thou
sand Star newsboys are allowed to give
vent to their feelings. Noodles Pagan
says ''Fhe Star bunch is the best be-
haved he ever saw, and so they are. But
they are also real boys. and showed it
this morning at the Cosmos Theater.
, when Noodles" told them to give three
cheers for The Star and for A. Julian
Brylawski, manager Of the Cosmos Thea
ter.
Earned a Higher Title.
Three cheers, was it? That's what it
started out to be, but it was more like
the outburst of a penned up ocean raging
and roaring. The first little demonstra-
ton was a real cheer and then it de-
veloped into the shrieking. ear splitting
roar Of universal cataclysm. 1t bel
lowed and bawled. and hent and rocked.
and shivered and shook and hollered; it
tumbled out fast and furious. and swooped
from gallery to stage and back again. 1t
was like all the boiler explosions in the
world. 1t was like all the explosions in
the world.
And yet is was only The Star news
boys-a few Of them: comparatively
speaking--expressing their Christmas
say. il the Dingbat family had that
bunch in the fiat the Family Upstairs
would curl up and die. And the funny
part of it is that when Noodles gave the
word for the boys to whistle" that good
old colored-slide lyric, MY Dream of the
L. S. A. the boys made as much noise
whistling as they did yelling.
Three Performances Today.
The Star newsboys were treated to
three shows today. and with the boys
came thousands of school children, who
had been given tickets by their friends,
the newsboys. The shows were great.
Every one said SO. Noodles had a spe-
cial film Of moving pictures from Cali
fornia, loaned especially by Representa-
tive Kahn Of that state. 1t showed a
lot of interesting things about the way
people get rich fast and furiously out in
the golden west.
There were comedy scenes. moving pic
lures OF those perfectly screaming things
that happen only in FINLAND. People
broke their necks on banana peels and
govt doused in fountains and all that
sort OF thing. and the way The Star
hewsboys appreciated it was immense.
Noodles had to turn his face away and
laugh silently twenty times during the
three shows.
II like the kids he said to a friend
who was with him. And they're like
this the world over. You can't beat
EN-.
Noodles" gave one Of his famous lee
lures to boys. too. He told them that
they should always be ION the square
with every one, and especially with their
mothers. He saw two or three mothers
In the crowd and that gave him the idea.
Mother Is Best Friend.
The boys were told that if they were
square with their mothers and lived up
to the kind of things she held up to them
as ideals there would not be the slightest
chance of their going wrong with the
world.
She's the very best friend you have in
all the world, fellows" he said. Il want
every one of you to make a Christmas
wish now. Just wish your dear mothers
the best year they ever had. and you try
your level best to see that she gets it.
Don't ever tell her lie. \ boy who
will lie to his mother is pretty mean
sort of a coward, and / don't believe
there's one of you here that wants to be
called a coward. Isn't that right?'' asked
Noodles" and the answer came back:
you're right"
