with its many limitations, how much
more true does it become when mo-
ton picture acting is referred TO!
And if we hold up the mirror to ma
ture, 1t is only natural to suppose
that the reflection will be nature.
Now. the human being is the most
various creature. in outward appear
ance, of all the worlds inhabitants.
The Frenchman, the German, the

man-all of them are people OF dill
ferent tastes, different appearance,
and a different view of things. Sup
pose an American company should
produce an American play, with
characters made up as Frenchmen or
Span:ards? Characters that would
go through their parts in the explos-
i've, gesticulatory way the people OF
these nations conduct their affairs!
What would be the result? The film
would be absolutely ridiculous.
In the matter of appearance, there
is quite a difference between the
French or Spanish and the Ameri-
can Take the matter of boards. In
the Latin countries. when man
marries and becomes the head OF
family, il is regarded as the proper
thing for him to wear a beard TO add
dignity to his appearance. And the
boards sometimes grow long: me

fore any of the action of the play

peoples also always clothe their pro-
fessional men in boards. The Latins
do not run much to putting their
hands in their pockets. The Ameri-
cans do. The careless American with
his hands in his pockets and his
smooth face is a type that is dis
tinct, an dthere isn't a Frenchman in
the world who can get it-except
perhaps the inimitable Max Linder.
A large part of the difficulty some
people find in recognizing the art OF
American actors and actresses lies
in the unfamiliarity of these people
with good American films. Where
the foreigners have their Linders and

DEATH or MRS. NANCY FERGU
SOhl

At her home, "Ethmala," Mrs. Nan
cy Brooks Ferguson passed away on
Saturday, November 7th. at 10: as
a. NJ, in the s9th year of her age.
Mrs. Ferguson was the second
daughter of Colonel and Mrs. Wiley
Brooks. She was born September ~.
1926, at Newnansville, Florida. Col
onel Brooks was temporarily in COM
mand of one of the Indian forts at
the breaking out of the Seminole war.
so her earliest recollections were of
Indian raids and fleeing from savage
tribes.
At Oldtown, from her fathers
home, Miss Nancy Brooks was mar.
ried to Mr.. Neil Ferguson, who came
to Florida from Scotland in 1888.
Since 1871 Mrs. Ferguson has been
a widow, living quietly at the old plan
tation home, "Emathla," which came
to her as part of her marriage dow
ry, it being part of the land which
Colonel Brooks obtained through his
friendly relations with Chocla Emath-
la, the noted friendly Indian chieftain.
who now lies buried near the old Fer
guson home.
The funeral of Mrs. Ferguson was
held Sunday morning at the old home
at 10 o'clock, and the body was
laid to rest in the Oldtown cemetery,
near the grave of her husband and
those of her ancestors.
Mrs. Ferguson was a member of
one of the earliest pioneer families in
this section of the state, and none
were more esteemed and honored.
So far as words can do so we ten
der to the family our sympathy in
their sorrow and bereavement. While
we mourn her going we can but feel
that she is entering into the larger
and better life. Modesty, courtesy,
gentleness, neighborly sympathy and
generosity were the characteristic
features of her earthly career.
She lived to the full fruition of life.
and while she is cut down like a
flower that has filled the earth with
its beauty and fragrance, when her
soul reaches the other shore and is
again quickened into life by a bap-
tismal from the fountain of living wa
ters she will be refreshed with great
er joys and richer blessings in the
presence of the King.
Noiseless and beautiful was her
mission on earth, and so in a larger
measure will be her mission in the
world beyond.

EXPECTS TO CAN THE GRAPE
FRUIT

The Auburndale New Era, a bright
weekly publication the first issue OF
which appeared Friday. contains a
number of highly interesting items.
including one regarding the plans OF
the Dixie Canning and reserving
company, recently organized with a
capital of $4,000 to make preserves
of various kinds out of the discarded
fruit and vegetables cultivated in
south Florida, which have been cast
aside in former years.
The company, the president OF
which is Charles E. Langley, has es-
tablished a factory at Auburndale,
and will make speciality of canning
grapefruit under process originated
by Mr.. Langley, and for the manu-
facture of grapefruit phosphate
grapefruit sundae, candied grapefruit,
and grapefruit extracts. Fruits and
vegetables of other varieties will also
be used in a similar manner and the
venture is expected to be followed by
the establishment of other factories
in future years. The venture has
been strongly endorsed by state
chemist r. E. Rose and other au-
thorities.
For years past grapefruit "culls,"
also poorly developed vegetables, have
been given away or thrown to hogs
and other animals, therby entailing
the loss of thousands of dollars to
growers annually. Mr.. Langley and
his associates expect to do away with
this loss in the future, using the
"culls" to advantage in preserving
them.-Tampa Times.
