Miss Nobody From Starland.

One of the best reasons for the pop
ularity Of Mort II. Singer as produ
Ger is his much-talked-of musical COM
edy Miss Nobody from Starland,
which will be the attraction at the
Gennett Theater Saturday, Jan. 9Th,
matinee and night with Olive Vail and
a strong company of principals and
chorus. Miss Nobody from Starland
is replete with big feature novelties
chief among them being the famous
dress rehearsal scene, in which Mr.
Singer INDUCES his audiences with d
glimpse behind the scenes during the
dress rehearsal of a musical comedy
company. For gorgeous scenery, stun
ming costumes, pretty girls and catch,
music. Miss Nobody from Starland'
claims to have just little on any 9th
err attraction OF it's kind now before
the public.

the romance unravel itself as if 1t
were a story of real life. All this takes
place in the forthcoming production
of Harold MacGrath's popular novel

HELD UP BY LocusTs.

An unusual experience was that of
DIR. H. Fl. Clark. of Woodberry, N. j..
one day recently. Having a call out
on the Fairview road, he took short
cut through Almonesson. around OH
the south side. AS he drew near the
head OF the lake In his auto he heard
what he thought was locomotive
whistle. He stopped his machine and
found the noise was made by iocusts.
Driving on, he came into the thickest
OF the millions of the insects, which
flew on him until he was covered
They bit him about the face, and even
through gloves to his hands. Stop
ping his machine again. he attempted
to shake them off. but they wouldn't
shake, and for some time he was In
quandary. Finally he started his
machine and ground the insects by the
thousands. This caused the auto to
skid, and he had some difficulty in
getting clear OF the clouds of insects.

ORIGIN OF WEDDING RINGS
According to Ancient Ritual Husband
Began by Placing Band on Thumb
and Next Three Fingers.

According to the ancient ritual in
marriage. the husband began the ring
business by placing it upon the brides
thumb and putting it successfully on
the next two fingers, pronouncing for
each one a person OF the Trinity;
with final amen when the fourth
finger was reached. and there the ring
remained.
The Greek church ritual directs that
the ring be placed upon the right
hand. Puritan influence sought to
abolish the ring as a vain and heather
emblem. but the sweet old fashion of
giving and taking emblem. "for our
loves sake" yet remains to u.s.

a neighboring bush grateful good
bye. For weeks they had nested on
one of the trucks of the car. The

had seen the thrush darting. In and
out from the truck and had discov-
