Be a WOrker!. Talk Up Church!
Get Your NeibhgOr to Go!


Go to church. Be a worker in the
go to church campaign.
This Go-to-Church movement is a
campaign more important than all TIE
presidential campaigns. In a presi-
dental campaign YOU get worked up
TO high pitch of enthusiasm, ex-
horting and advancing arguments for
your favorite candidate. Here is a
chance for you TO display your en-
tnusiasm and argumentative powers.
If you go to church your work is not
finished. You can do great deal
more
Get your neighbor to go. Talk up
the go-to-church movement. There
are many effective ways in which you
can do this. Sandwich your talk about
the baseball scores with few re-
marks about the go-to-churcn move
ment. Make an occasional engage
ment for "after church Sunday" Now
that the go-to-church movement has
had a healthy start keep it moving.
Don't let it die out. Whenever an
item in the newspapers on increased
church attendance or the go-to-church
movement strikes your eye, call your
neiglbor's attention to it.
Always be quick to rush to the de-
fense of the church and churo2- going.
There are always to be found in very
community persons ever ready to
make a JOY of the church and church
goers and the church-going movement.
Go after these persons: Don't let
them get away with it. If you can't
convince item that the church and
ehurch-goers are all right make them
cease their insults. There is too much
fun poked at the church these days.
Even the church-going man is tempt
ed to join in the laugh which greets
some cheap joker who attacks sacred
things. Honor to the man who re-
buffs the cheap wit. Secretly his. fell
lows will admire him for 1t.
GO TO CHURCH next sunday
GO TO CHURCH every Sunday!
BE a missionary by getting your
neightor to GO TO CHURCH.
The lover demands love for love,
Joy for JOY and life for life. He gives
that he may receive, and all his rig-ts
and privileges are most jealousy
guarded. If he offers himself unreserv-
edly, he demands all in recompense.
Not so the father and the mother,
They give from the pure JOY of giving,
and demand nothing in return. They
know they are educating their e-ild
for a life apart from their own, yet
they spare no pains and yield him
freely to his destiny, satisfied if he
shall have made the most of what is in
him. Only one who iaas been blessed
with children, tie infinite patience,

Ing courage and devotion of true
fatherhood and motherhood.

MRS. WIGGS OF THE
CABBAGE PATCH
Pungent HumOr and Heart Moving
PathOS at the Opera
House.

Produced by the California Motion
Picture Corporation and presented on
January 4th, 1915, by the World Film
! Corporation, the photop.ay Mrs
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" is as
sured of a hearty reception by motion
picture theatregoers, if only on ac-
count of tie popularity of its name
'Mrs Wigs" was very successful il
book and stage play form and thus
brings a ready-made reputation to the
screen And the film will sustain that
reputation, for its producers have
worked with commendable thorough
ness in translating the incidents, the
atmosphere, the action.
The silent drama IS capable of reg
istering all human emotions; years of
experience have tested this out, and
in Mrs Wigs of tie Cabbage Patch"
the film play comprehends the gaunt
between laughter and tears 1t is hard
to say where tne pathos or the humor
predominates, or whether the one or
the other will be more pleasing to the
audience. You Lave two exceptionally
sympathetic female characters on
sight, Mrs. Wiggs," played by Blanche
Chapman, and "Lovey Mary which
gives the beautiful Beatriz Micnelena
the chance Of presenting herself in d
singularly pleasing part, that of a
staunch though suffering girl. If Mrs.
Wiggs is tie good angel Of the drama
then Lovely Mary is its good fairy,
and very winsome fairy she appears
in the picture.
Mrs. Wigs is really two books roll
ed into one: Mrs. Wigs of the Cab
bage Patch and "Lovey Mary" Mrs.
Alice Hogan Rice wrote the books and
Mrs. Anne Crawford Flexner took
these books, which were enjoying
world wide popularity, and dramatized
them under the former title. And
when the play was produced in 1903,
! it achieved instant success and literal
! ly ran round the world While it would
be absurd to claim for 'fMrs. Wiggs"
record popularity, tie fact remains
that as a book and play it has sur
vived its renown for y years and
as film play seems destined to have
a proportionately prosperous career.
Sentiment counts for much in mo-
ton pictures and there is sentiment
plenty in Mrs. Wiggs." Time and
again zone touch of nature" that
makes the whole world kin obtrudes
it's welcome presence into the film.
With the exception of King, the circus
master, whose cupidity gets the better
of him wien he sees a chance of trad
ing off a girl as an heiress, while that
role should be filled by Lovey Mary,
there is not much call for depicting
double dyed gillainy Even King is an
amusing and certainly resourceful
rufian, who "gets his" in due course.
Hiram Wigs who deserts his homely
spouse, the Queen of the Cabbage
Patch, becomes a ring master and
marries a shapely young equestrienne,
bigamously and deliberately, is not
dyed-in-b1 e-wool villain, for when the
little circus girl dies, he keeps his
secret, sneaks home to mis- forgiving
wife and renews presumably nap
py life with Mrs. Wigs.
You rise from looking at this film
play with no metaphorically unpleas-
ant taste in the mouth.

opera house Tuesday, June 29.
