NOTES ON THE FILMS
Reforms are needed in movie bath
ing suits.
Almost any photoplay writer can be
prominent in small town.
+ Many movie operators seem to run
their pictures in ragtime.
Members of the Priscilla Sewing
circle nearly came to blows last week
on the hectic debate of, Should Movie
Kisses Be Curtailed?"
Hector CULVER sold movie plot a
couple of months ago for $40, and the
newspapers referred to him as an in
tellectual giant Hector hasn't done
anything since.
Simon McNutt spoke interestingly
before the Fairfield Chamber of Com
merce a few nights ago on the topic
of "Why Hats Are Always Removed in
Movie Deathbed Scenes"
STUDIO COMMENT
Contrary to current rumor that she
was to accept flattering offers from man.
ayers to return to the stage, Pauline
Frederick, the celebrated emotional act
ress, who became great screen star
overnight, when she made her motion
picture debut in the Famous Players
adaptation of Hall Gaines great drama,
THE Eternal City," has decided to re
main upon the screen and has signed d
two-year contract with the Famous Play
ers Film company. BY the terms of this
contract Miss Frederick becomes one OF
the few highest paid screen stars and
automatically assures her appearance in
Paramount pictures for the next two
years.
MORE NOTES
Winifred Kingston, Dustin Farnum'
leading lady in Morosco- Pallas produc-
tons of Paramount pictures having just
finished her last picture with Farrua
for awhile, is taking a motor trip through
the northern part of California iuclud-
ing the national parks. This trip will
be unique in that there will be no men
in the party. 1t is to be an exclusive
ly women's party.
How many girls would like to have
those ''wish-bone" wishes come true:
If they like to see them come true IN a
photoplay then they will enjoy seeing

POETRY
THE AMERIcAN FLaa.

 When freedom from her mountain unfuT1ed her standard to the air, She tore the azure robe of night And set the stars of glory there she mingled with it's gorgeous dyes And striped it's pure eeIes tfal white fdth streaktngs of the morning Eght; Then from h1s mansion in the sun She called her eagle bearer down. And gave unto his mighty hand The symbol of her chosen land Flag Of the brAves thy folds shah dy, The sign of hope and triumph high. When speaks the signal trumpet tone. And the long line comes gleaming on, Ere yet the life-biood warm and wet, Has ddmmed the glistening bayonet, Each soldier eye shall brightly turn To where thy sky-born giories burn, And, as his springing steps advance, And wner the cannon -rIcuthings loud HeAve in wild weraths the battle
 shroud.
 And gory sabres riseS and fall Hike shoots of flame on nnidn1ghts pald, Then shall thy meteor glances glow And covering foes shall shrink beneath Each gallant arm that strikes below That lovely messenger of death. Flag Of the free hearts hope and By angel hands to valor given Thy stars have lit the well<in dome And all thy hues were born in Forever float that standard sheet!
 Where breathes the foe that falls be- With freedoms soil beneath our feet And Freedoms banner streaming OCT
