Another Shorty Story.

''ThrowBack from Buddy is the
name of Sewell Ford's Shorty McCabe
story in our next Sunday Magazine,
ical sequel to Harvey's article, for it has
to do with the consequences on the mind
OF an ordinary youngster of melodrama
as depicted In moving pictures. Shorty
McCabe always carries a lot of homely
philosophy through his humorous expe-
riences and acts. and in this instance
strikes deep into a problem that is giving
considerable bother to the speculative
minds Of various publicists and public
moralists. i. g., how far In melodrama the
moving picture should be permitted to 60
without being cenSured. At the same
time the story is up to Mr.. Ford's usual
entertaining standard.
