Popularity of Drama

Yesterdays audiences, greeting
the Princess players in their sec

they love a reformed dad man"

they still delight in old fashion
ed melodrama, wherein the hero
comes out victorious and the
deep-dyed villain meets merited

exactly melodrama. but it is an

"SAPHO" THRILLS
MOVIE AUDIENCES.

Monster audiences welcomed
Florence Roberts as "Sapho" at
the Melbourne theater yesterday
and were charmed with the evil
dent ease which this finished act
ress handled her difficult role.
While disgust may have filled the
souls of the audience at the braz-
en- "Sapho." still their hearts
were sofetened again at some lit
tie act of charity or some little
kindness she would do. She was
woman of many natures and
whims and Florence Roberts with
her characteristic versatility act
ed as must have been the image
as Daufet conceived 1t.
One of the great truths Daufet
inscribed in his immortal work
was probably no good woman
ever lived who did not, at times,
wonder how bad woman could
possibly fascinate any self-respect-
ing man." This sentence Just

Theo. Wharton is the producer

great expense in South Dakota.
This picture, when completed.

the original combats.

Attended OptOmetrisr Convention.

0ptometrist Samuel C. Evans, Jr,
returned this week from Rochester, N.
=, where he has been taking a post
graduate course in advanced Optometry,
and attending the annual convention Of
the American Optical Association. Mr..
Evens says the meeting was successful
beyond his expectations, and that during
the convention there were many ad-
dresses and clinics of an advanced edu-
catiOnal nature. dealing with modern
methods of eye examinations made with
out the use of drugs. This means the
reduction Of his work to a more exact
science.
He also brings back with him many
new ideas as to the latest improvements
in eyeglass and spectacle mOuntings
and is especially enthusiastic over the
improvements in Toric lenses.
Mr. Evans has attended many Of
these annual conventions, and says he
cannot help but notice the growing ten
dency of those who attend to study eye
work and the fitting of glasses from the
more scientific and professional stand
point.
