PRODUCTIONS OF POETIC PLAYS

An interesting personality is Mrs.
Charles Douville Coburn, who is proud
of belonging to what happily is an
increasing type; the young actress
who takes her work seriously. Every.
where, Mrs. Coburn makes it clear
that she is a laborious artist, hard at
work and not a pretty woman exhibit
ing herself. Her ideas Of what is due
to the great poet of the drama are
unqualified by any reverence for the
names of the managerial potentates
who patronizingly present" them, and
her expressions of opinion are as can.
did as her ideas are unqualified.
Interviewed on productions Of classic
phys she visualized unhesitatingly her
own point of view. 1T is" she pre-

old fashioned in my artistic tastes.

CHILDREN MUST PLAY.
That 10 the Method Nature Provided
For Thar DavaIonmant

That 10 tho Method Nature Provided
For Their Development.
"And the streets Of the city shall b
full Of boys and girls playing in the
streets thereof" Thus spoke Zecha riah
in $40 B. c. But there were fewer
motorcars in Zechariah's day than
there are in ours. The children now
need for their play some place safer
than the street.
More important than the playground,
however, is the play. 1t is we'll that
children should play in safe place,
but it is absolutely necessary that they
should play somewhere II they are to
grow up at all, for there Is no doubt
now, I think. in the minds of educn.
tors that play builds the child. 1t is
the method that nature has provided
for his development. Play, indeed, is
the positive side Of the whole phe.
nomenon Of infancy.
The reason the higher animals-and
man, above all-are born so helpless
and Uniformed is that they may be
finished by this special method. It 10

child at all. The child who is 0eprfv-

Of his opportunity to grow up.-Crafts-

Cats and Man,

No subject that DR.. Weir Mitchell
studied, either scientific or social, is
more curious than the one he describ-
ed in a little known paper entitled
"Of Ailurophobia and the Power to Be
Conscious Of the Cat as Near, When
Unseen and Unheard." In this pa
per DR.. Mitchell declares that there
are persons who have been able to dis
tinguish the presence Of cat by its
smell, but cannot any longer do so
and yet who retain ability to detect
unseen cats.
1T is likely" he says, "that the cat
emanattons may affect the nervous
system through the nasal membrane.
although unrecognized as odors. Why
these emanations should, If plainly
perceived as due to cats, cause Ger
tain symptoms in those who dread cats
is readily understood.
"The ultimate cause Of unreasonable
terror Of cats cannot explain. Cen

REASONS
WHY IS THE REX THE BEST NOV
ING PICTURE THEATRE IN
THE STATE.

The following reasons are gwen by
Miss Marion E. Cole to explain why
the Rex theater is the best in North
Dakota. 81.
We might answer because the
management have evidently determin
ed to make it so, regardless of trouble
expense or labor" But this is rather
sweeping assertion SO we will emu
merate the points which put the Rex
in class by itself.
1. It is centrally located.
2. It is advertised by the finest
electric sign in the state.
3. It has the only gas CRATE in the
state lin theatre.)
4. It has a prettily appointed re
firing room for ladies.
5. The attendants are courteous
and obliging.
6 The interior and stage decora
tons are very artistic and harmon
ious.
Z The lighting arrangement is o
the latest design.
8 The ventilation is always good.
9 The pictures are of the hignes
character, never sensational no
trashy, and never old. We see the fam
Gus actors and actresses of the day
and the most expensive and elaborat,
, productions on the Rex screen.
10 They are projected by an upto
date machine and are never jump,
nor dim,

~ times. before science was born. the
phenomena Of nature required an ex-

shaped the myth. which satisfied his
untutored mind. 1t is out Of mans

Amateur HeadsmaE.


Most IT us are wont to think Of the
beheadment as relic Of the dark ages.
but the last decapitation which took
place in the British isles was no later
than 1920. The victims were two un.
fortunates who had taken part In the
Bonnymuir rising and were convicted
Of high treason. The sentence was car.
ried out in Stirling. Scotland. The
headslnan. who was masked and wore
a serge gown. was small. nervous
man who did his work SO badly that It
was not until the third stroke that he
decapitated one Of the unfortunates.
The assembled crowd yelled ''Murder"
and the miserable headsman was heard
to remark. II wish to heaven had not
it to do" For a long time his iden.
tity was 4 mystery, but it later devel.
oped that he was young medical ST..
dent Of Glasgow. The ak and the
mask which he used on the occasion
may still be seen.-New York Sun.

A Cue Of Coffee.

As a matter Of fact, the secret Of
coed after dinner coffee is merely
strength-say tablespoonful to each
cup. The true test Of coffee making
is not after dinrer coffee, but the ma
tutinul pot. The French, as a rule,
make execrable cafe au lait, not to
mention their perv erted taste for the
bitterness impaired by chicory. The
best coffee I've found land l make II
every morning myself is in Germany,
Austria. the United States and the
South American republics. The secret
of it lies neither in boiling nor per
collation. (which is the better method
never can he settled), but in using lots
