ALEDO AT A GLANCE
Daily Doings in Mercer County's Busy Capital
High School Seniors Perform.

"Straws" was the title of the senior
high school comedy which was pre-
scented at the Aledo opera house last
night. The production so excellentlv
given showed the results of the dill
gent practice placed upon it by the
cast. Each of the players presented
his or her respective role in a man
ner credible to themselves. The plav
was of the comedy sort, containing
many humorous situations, although
it was not devoid Of a seriousness.
Thomas Candor as Jack Straws and
Frances Hebel as Mrs Parker Jen-
nings, the leading characters, con-
Quoted themselves in the most pleas
ing manner in their parts, and it NAV
well be said that should these two
young people follow this line of work
in after life they are contain of a
measure of success in it. The second
Diary characters supporting these two
acted their respective parts admirably.
SpeCialties between the acts as pre-
scented by May and Almquist, high
school comedians, and the boys quar-
tet were well received by the large
crowd of spectators which was ever
appreciative, applauding at intervals
the characters presenting some eXcit-
ing or comic situation. The cast: Jack

Thursday at the First Presbyterian
church at 10 a. m. was fitting end

the large church to its utmost capac-
ity.
Dean Albion W Small of the Grad
uate School of Chicago university, a
noted sOCiOlOgist, delivered the COM
Imencement address using as his sub
| ject What the Nation Should Mean to
Americans" Dean Small was found to
be a most eloquent speaker and his
talk was attentively listened to. He
! began his talk by stating that If the
world or even the United States, were
as clean as your little city, my message
| to you today would be useless. But
/ the world can not be judge by one or
two such admirable samples. One
oasis does not eliminate a desert.
| The people Of the United States are
undergone a strain or a trial of our
physical and mental stuff. 1t is up to us
to demonstrate if we are capable OF
coping with the thing. Too much Op-
pOrtunity is the greatest menace to us
| today, making it impossible for us to
realize our responsibility. The future
of the worlds governments depends
upon what we believe the nation tC
us"

Bobby Connolly, who enjoys the
distinction of being the highest priced
star for his age in the films, says it is
lots of fun to act in pictures, but
sometimes you get tired and wish you
could go to school and play in the
afternoon like other children. Yes,
Bobby goes to school, or rather school
comes to Bobby, for he has a teacher
who comes to the house and teaches
him the three Rs and other things.
Bobby doesn't think it as much fun as
going to school because at school you
can have fun while the others are
reciting. When there's only one
pupil you can't fool, because teacher
can watch you all the time" says
Bobby.
When Bobby isn't acting or study
ing he goes out in the vacant lot"
just like other healthy children and
plays ball, marbles and rugby. He
and his sister Helen have lots of fun
at the Vitagraph studio in between
scenes playing with Gasoline, the
studio cat, the white mice and the
dog. Yes, and even grizzly bears.
Civilization. Is Super Play.
Civilization" Thomas H. Ince'5
big spectacular film play, has just
been released in New York. The
producers describe it as an argument
against war. However" they
hasten to add, "it is not against pre-
paredness, but is in the nature Of an
appeal to the mothers Of men,"
The spectacle includes pictures of
battleships in action. A United
States warship fired real projectiles
at ship bought for the purpose, and
the powder burned in the several
battle scenes cost the producers
$4,000.
