EDITH WYNNE MATHISON
NOW ON THE SCREEN

Edith Wynne Mathison, the world
famous dramatic star, will make her
screen debut in the Lasky-B elasco
production in pictures of MI. Belasco's
great dramatic success, "The Cover
nor's Lady," Miss Mathison, al
though approached by hundreds of
moving picture producers, long de-
clined to appear on the film at all,
but finally yielded to the arguments
advanced by Mr.. Lasky in connection
with his production of Mr.. Belasco's
modern American domestic master
piece. Miss Mathison made her first
great hit in this country in the title
role of "Everyman." She is remem-
bered in England as the star whom
Sir Henry Irving selected to be his
leading woman throughout his fare
well appearances in London and his
farewell provincial tour.
Theodore Roberts, that always ex-
cellent artist, is cast for one Of the
leading roles with Edith Wynne
Mathison in the Lasky-Belasco pictur-
ization Of "The Governors Lady"
His character is that of a modern
western senator, keen and ambitious,
who has the discernment to. .recog-
nize the characteristics of ability in
others and who early joins his for
tunes with those of the man who be-
comes the governor of the drama.

THE TRIALS OF FARMER
WHO MOVED TO TOWN

In Farm and Fireside is the story
Of a farmer who sold his property to
live in the city, because his city
friends "wore good clothes, had
money jingling in their pockets, went
to the movies, belonged to clubs, and
enjoyed a yearly vacation" He
found, however, that the city man
pays dearly for these luxuries.
1--WE came to know" he said, "that
it was just as hard for the city man
to get up at seven o'clock in the
morning as it was for the country
to get up at five. Why SO? Be-
cause he must not relax; he is ever
on duty. He must smile at this per-
son and that person. He dares not
notice anyone's peculiarities, or obi
ties, or unreasonableness. The result
is he must find his relaxation in the
evening; therefore the family rarely
gets to bed before ten or eleven
o'clock and seven in the morning finds
him just as sleepy and far less re-
freshed than five found him on the
farm.
1--WE found going to work for some
body else every day in the year, ex-
cept Sunday and perhaps a two
weeks vacation, under somebody else
as manager, didn't exactly suit our
country spirit of freedom. We came
to know that our friends saved scar
cely a cent; and, furthermore, n
couldn't exactly see how they were ex-
travagant. In the city it seems un-
believably hard to separate luxuries
from necessities"

Secretary Lansing as the head of
