1t was an old Iady's first visit to the
moving pictures. For a long time she
gazed III silent awe at the wonders of
the screen, where all sorts of impossi-
bic things took place.
Then 6 m%otorcar appears on the
screen coming into sight in the dis
lance, AID racing along the country
road at about a mile a minute straight
out of the picture at the audience.
Catastrophe seemed inevitable, and
she shrank back in her seat. Then,
just at the critical moment, it swerv-
ed aside and dashed out of sight. The
old lady rose firmly to her feet, ignor-
ing the protests of those behind her.
Come along, Annie" she said to her
youthful niece. "It amt safe here.
That thing only missed me by a few
