THE FILMS LAUGH.

Every audience remembers the man
who makes it's sides split with laugh
ter. That's why the Paramount
Bray Animated Cartoons are regis
tered weekly as the greatest screen
now before the motion
picture public. It doesn't matter
whether it is a new adventure of
Farmer AL Falfa or an exploit of
Colonel Heeza Liar, it's an

goes with the film.

A SOLEMN BARBER.
He Had Quite an Audience When Hs
Shaved the Elder Sothern.
In MY Remembrances,' in Serb
ner's, Edward H. Sothern thus de-
scribes the scene when his father got
a shave at his hotel in New York:
carp was the barber at the Gramer-
cy Park hotel. He lived in the base
ment--a perfectly unbelievable man,
thin as a rail, six feet three in height,
solemn as sphinx. He eked out his
income from barbering by raising
white mice; he also kept parrots, love
birds, flying squirrels, jackdaw. My
father was very fond Of animals. He
always had one, sometimes two, dogs
with him and frequently purchased
some Of Earp's menagerie for his
rooms in New York. carp usually
looked after these purchases each
night and brought them to my father
when he came in the afternoon.
He now appeared. This was the
first time I had seen him. He carried
his BARRIERS implements in his two
