Keystone films famous for many
months. Just recently he slipped out
of his long, happy partnership with
Mack Sennett, the director Of the
company, to join the Majestic forces
in fact, he is going to direct the
picture making for the western
branch of the company.
Maybe, he says, he will have a stu

wood, the new movie" Mecca of
Southern California.
Maybe he will do some pictures of
his own, as well!
Now, the only question to settle is
the name of the films which Mace
will make. Are they to be called Ma
jestic-Mace films or just Majestic
films, as they used to be?

A MODERN COURTING-

Miss Nancy O'Neil was suhraget lady,
Decidedly militant, too
Who was loved by an Irishman, Martin oGrady,
But vsinly, indeed, did he WOO;
For Nancy was busy at blowing up houses
And kicking the chanceIor's cat,
And SO had no time to be thinking of spouses
Or frivolous subjects like that
With bon-bons and flowers poor Martin pursued her.
But Nancy was deaf to his suit
Though gently and sweetly and kindly he wooed he
At all his proposals she'd boot
Till finally, wearied Of being so tender
So patient and placid and calm,
He gave up the homage he once used to render
And sent her a dynamite bomb.
He trampled her garden with ardor most ferVent,
Cast bricks through the windows with zest,
Set fire to the house and abducted her servant
Attempted to poison her guest; p,
So Nancy said, How can EVER resist him?
Such militance beats me-" she said;
So she put her fair round his neck and she kis
And now they are happily we'd

It beats the Dutch the way the
local sessions are pursued with rain.
The Cracker sweepstakes, set for
decision tonight. has been postponed
from Friday 10 Saturday. from Sat
urday 10 Tuesday. and from Tues
day to tonight
The beet feature Of the postpone
ment is that It will enable Jock Nc

machines absolutely RIGHT.
Mcneil is getting peevish over the
bad behavior OF his J A P. motor.
Aud Nick" as he calls it, has not
been on its good behavior through
an entire meet this season.
Jock Has Hard Luck.
Jock is tho cleverest mechanic Of
them all and knows more about mo-
tors than any OF them. But. some
how. he has had all the bad luck in
the world in recent meets Mcneil
believes he has the J A p exactly
right now and tinkered 10 a point
where IL will 60 the limit
Mortie Graves has Just received a
new engine and some new parts for
the old engine in his machine He
is working on them now and believes
he has the combination. His new
machine is tremendously fast when it

have Il out in the Motordrome Purse
the opening number. It should be
the fastest race OF the meet. After
that comes the Cracker Sweepstakes
named In honor OF the local team
The Anal in this event will be at
seven miles, which makes II the
longest race Of the local season. Its
length will probably knock out the
sprint stars and give the endurance
lads a chance at the big prize.
To wind up the card, there will be

be sort of a consolation affair and
