RESPONSIBILITY Is important.

Responsibility is another important
element in child character. He should
feel the responsibility Of regularity
at school and the responsibility of re-
turning promptly and directly from
school. "
while everything contributes to
the building of the child's character,
the burden Of the responsibility rests
with the mother" She closed by say
ing: I'VE shall one day see that the
most private is the most public en-
ergy, that quality atones for guam
tity, and grandeur of character acts
in the dark and succors them who
never saw it."
Mrs. o. w. Weyer had for a subject
cart and Literature in a Child's
Life" She said IN part: I'VE can
not emphasize too strongly the need
for good examples of art as the con-
slant environm ent Of the child The
contemplation of that which is beau
tiful stimulates, soothes, elevates and
educates the child. There Is an in
stinctive response in children to that
which is beautiful. They will turn IN,
stinctively from pictures represent,
ing the hideous in form to pictures Of
peaceful landscapes, animals and flow
ers. The art we give a child should
deal with subjects he can appreciate,
those adapted to his phase of develop
ment. In each child's room should
be a reproduction of a masterpiece,
a madonna and child is always a
beautiful subject for this purpose.

V.L. s. [. COMPANY
 ID RELEASE GREAT
 FEATURE PICTURES
Four Producing Companies Form Alliance-OdeOn Two Makes Booking
 Arrangements

The tendency in the production of mo- ton picture plays continues to move up- ward, and the latest movement is the formation of the vitagraph- -Lubn-selig- Essanay corporation. a combination of four of the largest producers of picture plays in America. It will be the policy of these four producing companies to release their stellar productions through a booking office which they will control. Their lesser presentations will be re- leased in the usual manner. Only attrac- tons of the first magnitude will be re- leased from the affiliated booking of fees.
 The Paramount corporation recently changed it's policy in regard to Famous Player pictures in which Mary Pickford appeared and placed such plays in an entirely different category from the reg lures cost the exhibitor more and cost the public more, but there is an insa- table demand for them.
 The intention of the four companies in forming the V.-L.-S.-E. combination was to select the largest productions of them all and set a new standard of excellence of photodramatc art They have done so, the schedule of releases gives am- pie testimony.
 The new corporation has list of play CTS that reads like a page from Who Who' in stagedom, containing practi- eally all the big stars of the legitimate as well as the film stage. Among the number are Frank Daniels, Viola Allen, Tyrone Power, Anita Stewart Earle Will Hams, Edwin Arden, Romaine Fielding, Francis X. Bushman, Beverly Bayne. kathlyn Williams, Charles Clary, Ethel Clayton. Wheeler Oakman, George Soule Spencer. Edith Story, Antonio Ma reno. Ruth Stonehouse. Rose Coghlan, F. H. Calvert, Harry Mestayer, John Charles and others.
 The Odeon Two theatre has secured the right to show the releases of the N.-L.-SE. corporation and will have some of the greatest productions ever seen in Birmingham in coming weeks.

WORKING WHEN ILL
By PHILIP osTERMAN. NJ. n.

If you want to do your very best brain work don't keep yourself too fit. But remember, too, that the longer you work when you are really i'll the greater will be the breakdown which must inevitably follow
 It is generally considered that man who is physically fit necessarily does bet ter brain work than a man who is slight ly off color This is by no means the case for under certain circumstances a man who Is not physically fit is capable or better work than man in the best of health.
 Of course, l am not referring to cases of serious illness, but to cases when a man is ''seedy,' out of sorts or possibly sc<enlng for some illness.
 Let us suppose that the man is slight iy feverish. Now fever invariably hastens all the processes of the human body-for example. it produces an increased flow ot ideas. In the case of a novelist or a man whose work requires vivid imagina- ton, such state of mind would n6tural- iy be valuabie-up to a point.
 But an increase of fever beyond that point does not imply an increase of ideas al least of coherent ideas. It is this vast profusion of ideas due to increasing fever | llldt IlIldIN DfouuCeS 0ellIlunt.
 But the chief cause of a man doing bet ter work when he Is ill is the increased will power he summons up on sucn oc- casons When a man is exceedingly fit he thinks everything else in the world is all right. He feels that everything is son excellently. He does not do FGuite his best. He tries only three quar- ters as hard as he can.
 Just as a man who never takes violent exercise never uses the whole of his lungs, but has a reserve, so must people have a reserve of will power which they fall back on when they are i'll and obliged to worK notwithstanding.
 It requires illness to bring out this power. The man feels out of sorts. and realizes that he must concentrate all his attention on his work if any good is to result, and the result of this mental effort is vast gain of will power, which nat urallY tends to produce good work.

HAZEL DAWN T0bE HERE IN "N|ObE" Five Part Comedy to be
 Seen at OdeOn
 Two z ----s----

Hazel Dawn. who several months ago added the distinction of an international screen triumph to her numerous stage laurels, through her characterization of One of Our Girls, a Famous Players production is again presented by that celebrated feature producing company in novel five-part comedy, "Niobe,'' from the play by Harry and Edward A. Paul ton, will be at the Odeon Two this week on the Paramount programme. "Niobe" is a humorous blending of the ancient and the modern, a comedy that begins 5000 years ago and ends today.
 The story is of a statue of the fearful queen. Niobe, a famous character of Grecian mythology. The stone is be- lieved to be veritabe petrefaction of the original creature. It is brought to an insurance company for safety and the president, Peter Amos Dunn. removes 1t to his own home for greater security. An electric wire gets into accidental con tact with the figure and vivifes it. The oignified insurance company president IS trus suddenly confronted by the live and very animated. indeed prototype of the previous statue, who, garhed in her ancient costume. proceeds to run wildly through the house. In despair Dunn clothes the incernated statue in the garb of his children's governess, in which guise it causes all the ludicrous happen ings which the film story unfolds.
 The comicality of the situations is abundant and consistent. The many hu- morous dilemmas in which the very re- spectable president finds himself. and the screamingly funny climax at which he is discovered with Niobe by his startled wife, will create more laughter than has been caused by any film comedy of recent times.
