Little Helen Hayes Brown Clever
z Child Actress, Says Julia Murdock
One Of Few Worth Seeing,
She Says, Is Appearing at.
the Columbia.

IN CORE one for the little woman
~ who is playing the leading role
~ in the Columbia Theater this
week, Helen Hayes Brown. who
Is seen In the dual role Of Tom Canty
and Edward. Prince Of Wales. In the
delightful romantic drama. '.The Prince
and the -Pauper." which Abby Sage
Richardson dramatizsd from Mark
Twain's novel bearing the same title.
In the past have belonged to the
anti-ehild-actress contingent. Only once
In a long while does q child actress
give any excuse for its risht to appear
Little Viola Dana Is one Of these, and
Juliet Shelby is another. The rest Of
them 1t would be possible for a one
armed switchnan to count on the I'm
gers of his remaining hand, and Helen
Hayes Brown is one Of these. She has
done much to convert me, along with
hundreds OF others, and her remarkable
work last night indicated beyond a
doubt that her choice for the roles In
which she was seen was no mistake
on the part of the Columbia Theater
management.
What little Miss Helen Hayes Brown
does Is not acting at all. 1t may lack
what Is called technique" but 1t il in
spirational: 1t is smooth. it is artistic,
1t is naturalist natural that It brings
at times a mist to the eye and choke
In the throat. and above all, 1t is en-
tirely effective.
Some OF these days the scolumb,a
management will lose Helen HAYES
Brown, and we shall hear of her later
on Broadway. Last evening, from the
time she ran upon the stage in the rags
OF Tom Canty. the beggar lad, until the
nnai scene, with the diamond crown
upon her golden curls, the diamond scep-
ter In her tiny hand, and the purple vel
vet robe of state. covering rags Of the
begsar boy. she occupied the center Of
the stage nearly all Of the time and
never did she falter in a single line.
never did she step out of the atmo-
sphere of the piece for a single min
ute, though the task imposed upon her
was heavy one, one that would tend
70 make grown person hesitate. Her
work was sufficient for me, and I am
confident, from the demonstration which
followed many Of the scenes, that the
audience approved equally Of her re-
markable work. :

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
THE FLYING MAT.

~ NCE upon a time a handsome
young prince lived in his
fathers marble palace In the
midst Of a great estate. All
around were beautiful gardens of roses.
great forests for hunting and lakes on
which fioated silver boats with golden
sails.
But the Prince. whose name was
Ruby, was very lonely. for he had no
brothers and sisters, his mother was
dead. and his father always busy with
matters Of state. This made him wan
der about by himself a great deal.
One warm. summer day he fell asleep
on a bed of moss under an oak When
he awoke he saw sitting near him a
funny, dried-up old man with a long
green beard. The mat on which he
rested was of silver straw and seemed
to shine with light.
Il am the messenger Of the King Of
Wheezee Land" chirped the little man,
and am on my way TO the country Of
the Bulbuls. The beautiful daughter Of
our king has been ordered by her
father to wed the King of the .Bulbuls,
as he owes a great deal of money to
him. but she swears she will never do
1t, for the Bulbul King Is a wicked. ugly
fellow. So her father has shut her up
in a brass tower a mile high and no one
through the top"
Then how does she get anything to
eat?" asked Ruby.
.'Oh; the King has lot Of us messen-
gers who own flying mats that take US
anywhere we wish to Co." explained
the Weezee. II am riding on one now
OR my way to the land Of the Bulbul
King. l only dropped down to get 1
drink and rest a bit"
Then the Weezee took out of his
jacket a small picture painted on ivory.
This is the picture of the Princess
Pearl" he said. she vows she win
never marry the Bulbul King and that
she will wait for the coming Of fair
prince she heard lived in this kingdom. :?
Ruby did not say that he was the
prince. But the sight Of the lovely
face Of the princess and the story OF
her distress made him determined to
rescue her at once.
The water is very cool at the spring
by that rock" he said, and the little
Weezee ran down to get a drink No
sooner had he gotten to the spring than
Ruby seated himself on the mat and
wished 1t would carry him at once To-
the chamber Of the imprisoned Princess.
The mat rose in the air. and as 1t
passed over the little Weezee's head
Ruby called out to him: Il am the
Prince Ruby. I am going to get the
Princess; a mile down the road you
will find a house in which you can get
food till / return"

The DeSoto County Good Roads
Association has sent out petitions
asking the county commissioners
to call an election to let the voters
say whether or not they desire to
bond this county for hard roads,
to be built upon permanent lines
and of such material as is recon-
mended by the Government High
way Engineer who has spent
six weeks locating the lines OF
traffic and examining our natural
materials.
His report will be in the hands
of the commissioners at their next
meeting and will show that an is
sue of $500, OO0.00 in bonds will
hard surface more than 200 miles
of roads, of this about 80 miles to
be of vitrified brick. Such sys-
tenn of hard roads in this county
will mean more permanent pros
perity for us all than we can pos
sibly foresee.
Heretofore when this question
was about to be brought before
the voters, it was claimed that we
had no competent authority to say
that the roads could be built upor

possible to get and his report viii

Executive Committee

Governor Park Trammel has
left it in the hands of the county

ion w. B. Hare of Arcadia, whose
death occurred Saturday last.
Following the receipt of a tele-
gram from Hon. w. r. Minor,

the governor advised that the va
cancy will be filed by appoint
ment of suitable person upon the

be given to each member of the
committee of the time and place OF

of the county be notified, that they
may have abundant opportunity to
express their wishes as to the re-
commentator to be made.
In accordance with Governor
Trammell's wishes in this connect.
ion, Chairman Minor has called
the committee to meet in Arcadia
on February 4th at IL a. m. tc

The travel to Punta Gorda is
heavier this season than ever
before. Not only are more tour
lists coming this way, but many
people are coming as prospectors.
Several parties Of homescekers
have been here during the season,
and of each party number have
bought property with a view to re-
turning later to become perman-
ent residents. Twenty gentlemen
and ladies from the middle vest
people such us it is most desirable
to have locate in our midst-were

introduced to ali parts of the coun-
ty. If the system is not just what
you would have or recommend,
remember that there are other in
terests than your own to be serv-
ed. There is the man who wants
one north and south road through
the county as the 'crow flies"
with no lateral; then there Is the
producer away from the railroad
who wants all of it in lateral roads
leading to the depot. The interest
of both must be served and a sys-
tenn evolved that will serve both.
Your road fund now practically
amounts to 100000 for last
year or seven mills on $4,000, 900
assessment, which practically
doubles what it was ten y-ars ago.
Five mills, or $500 on every
81, 100000 You are assessed will
pay the interest and retire a bond
a year by the time the money is
spent. In the mean time the banks
will pay the interest for the use OF
the money, and this at the present
seven mills assessment will leave
$14, 900. 90 per year to keep up the
other roads.
Let us have some roads while
we live, and let the non-residents
and incoming settlers pay for their
part of the benefits of thei" use. =

Roads Association.
NoTE-In giving space to the

ment is advanced in favor of bond

we may say that it does not seem
an opportune time for the holding

with the new courthouse affair
the agitation before and since WORK
was started on the building
what it was said the cost would b.
and what it has been, and the in
crease in taxes that has resulted
with all this fresh in their minds
the taxpayers will hardly be $

of the paper While we are in favor of the inn

as much good roads as possible, we are strongly
opposed TO bonding the county for this purpose.
There are other ways toget good roads without
going overwhelmingly in debt, and we should
not let our enthusiasm get the better of our
judgment. Let us profit by the experiences OF
