that no other matters ought to be dis
turbed until it appears that the power
left where it is now is being exercised
in a way to affect adversely the public

believed would not be impeded If the

Last evening the public had the op-
portunity of seeing the adorable Mary

quaint story, "Hulda From Holland"

filled and many had to be disappointed.
However, they will be able to see her
tonight. It will be the last new re-
lease for some time. Miss Pickford
has left the Paramount and has organ
lied a company of her own. The Pick
ford pictures, however, will be shown
in the future at the Spencer Square.

and Cleo Ridgely in new Lasky fea-

anticipation on the part of the public.

ing so much comment that a Boston
firm has procured the rights from Mr..
Fatton to publish it in book form. The
scenes are laid in a small town in

woven around a motif that is sub

bombastic thing in it, there is no prob.

play But many are the problems of
morality. kindness and human fun,
just as much as there are in life Itself
to meet the search for underlying
meaning. Mr.. Patton has for years
given the public good, clean plays and
has charmed his audiences with those
quaint characters which he so thor
oughly portrays.

From article by Grace Wilcox, lead
ing feature writer of southern Cali
fornia in Los Angeles Tribune, March
6. 1916:
There is sheep-shearing scene in
the photoplay Ramona which is worth
a hundred dollars minute-and II
only lasts a couple of minutes-sO that
statement is safe.
THE scene with it's flock of beauti-
ful white sheep is bound to live in the
memories of the countless thousands
who see the charming play. There is
the black sheep in the midst of the
flock and he, too. is shorn.
Like great fluffy pun balls with soft
eyes peering out at the world, nun
dreds of sheep biIlow across the
meadow, and one may fairly hear the
rushing of their feet over the soft
earth. 1t is possible to smell the fresh
soil as they patter over it, and one
seems to hear distinctly the sound of
the tiny bell of the leaders and their
cheerful bleating.
ITO one who has never been present
at strengthening time, the spectacle
Of the shearers at work is one Of un-
usual interest and enlightenment; but
the sheep themselves are the real fac
tors in the picture, and when they
jump over fences and stumble over
tree roots they are real sheep, not
camera productions.
There are little white birds in this
play, that preen themselves in the
branches of a sapling-birds that twist
their slender Threats and look inquir-
ingly at the Indian maid who smiles at
them.
There is a chanticleer who awakens
the sleeping househOld-and his crow
is distinctly heard by every person in
the audience because he looks so real
when he ruffles his neck and f1utters
his feathers, stands on his toes and
opens his beak.
ALSO there is dog. The dog has
a history.
HE is a collie-and of low station
in life.
I'm fact he came from the pound
did this dog.
Through the picture he is the con-
slant companion of Alessandro, the In
dian.
skipping. jumping and barking all
through the story of Ramona this
pound dog is one Of the most appeal
ing features of the play-and yet but
a few months have elapsed since he
was common cur, unloved and home
less.
THE sheep, the horses, the dog, the
chickens and the birds in Ramona
give an atmosphere TO the story which
goes straight to the hearts of the audi
ence."

theatre Thursday and Friday Of next
week with matinees both days.
