He replied that he would simply send

street representative in the town where
the man lived and as soon as letter
could be returned or a wire sent he
would know all about the up-to-the-
minute standing of his party. He

Encouraging the Home

Of Massachusetts that a wife living

to benefit under the terms of the

seem a hardship TO those affected by
it, but it is wise and entirely for the

The effect of this dictum must sure

or only single room. The wife.

/ is to put on stuff" that will afford
relaxation and recreation rather than

reels will be shown for the coming

melodrama down through a dashing
western cowboy picture to a rollicking
comedy. 49,. ....
The melodrama will be provided by
The Wreck" three-reel feature film
in which all the well known stars
OF the Vitagraph company are seen.
Aside from the thrilling railroad
wreck scene which is shown there
is an intensely human interest story
told in which the principals are
father and son, the climax coming
when the father discovers that his
son is a victim Of the train wreck
which he has caused.

cowboy pictures and has become a
big favorite. In "Broncho Billy's

he has ever been seen and the play is
replete with tense and exciting scenes.
The comedy is provided by an Edi-
son film entitled, THE Thrifty Jan.

the very names Of the play and the
star places the stamp of superiority
on the picture as a laugh maker.
