The Real and the Pretend.

Widespread artistic taste would have
had better chance to develop In this
country If we had not been so much
concerned with knowing what we
ought to know and liking what we
caught those whose taste happened to
coincide with the canons. 1t has per-
verified much larger host who have
tried to pretend that their taste coin
cided, and it has left untouched the

other countries, have evolved II folk
culture If they had not been outlawed

1.-THE OLD HOMESTEAD"
To Be at the Harte Theatre This
Eveninq.


THE Old Homestead the greatest
rural drama ever written, in which the
late Denman Thompson starred for ov-
ed thirty years, has at last been
adapted as feature play by the Fam
Gus Players Film Company by special
arrangement with Frank Thompson.
son and heir of the author-actor. This
great American classic will be seen
as a Paramount Picture at the Harte
theatre today.
Through the active cooperation of
he younger Thompson, the producers
have been able to preserve to re-
markable degree the atmosphere and
spirit of the original play This was
accomplished by means of photographs
of the first Josh Whitcomb and OF the
costumes worn by the varios members
of the supporting cast OF special i'm
portance in this connection was the
obtaining of permission TO use the old
Thompson homestead in New Hamp-
shire, which was the setting depicted
in the original play, as the background
of the film. Director James Kirkwood
and his company went to the old New
England village where they spent sew
eral weeks in photographjng scenes in
and about the Thompson farm and in
the outlying country where there still
exists. to a remarkable degree the
same interesting and delightful types
that We're found by Thompson when he
wrote the play three decades ago
Even the interior of the Thompson
home was used fer some of the scenes
which transpire in the house.
Another interesting link between the
stage and the screen lies in the fact
that old Grace Church, which appeared
in painted canvas as a backdrop in the
original presentation of the play,
serves as the actual background for
the corresponding scenes in the film.
1t was in 1876 that Denman Thomp-
son, while suffering from an attack of
rheumatism during an engagement at
Martins Variety Theatre in Pitts
burgh, conceived the idea of rural
dramatic sketch which he then called
Joshua Whitcomb'. The success of
this sketch led him to expand it into
play which was presented for the first
time at the Boston Theatre in 1886 I'M
der it's present title, "The Old Home
stead"
The marvellous popularity of this
rustic drama, which has made an un-
paralleled appeal to all classes and
ages ever since it's first appearance, is
easily explained by the fact that it
paints real life in it's truest and best
aspects and that it tells the simplest
OF stories concerning the simplest of
people. 1t is human nature without
its confusing and haffling veneer--the
sort OF haracterizations that every
body comprehends because of its very
naivete.
Frank Losee, one OF the best known
character actors on the American
stage, will play the role of Josh Whit
comb, made unforgettable by Denman
Thompson in Americas Oldest living
drama Creighton Hale, Denman
Moley, Louise Hut and others we'll
known to stage and screen appear in
support of Mr.. Losee

Every Family Needs
this Splendid Remedy
Compound of Simple Laxative
Herbs Recommended for
Consultation.

When remedy has stood the test
of critical analysis and strong cpmpe-
tition for over quarter of century
and establishes itself as the indispen-
sable household remedy in thousands
of homes. it is pretty good evidence of
its efficacy.
DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has been
on the market since 1889, its use being
gradually extended until now il is gen
orally regarded by druggists as the
staple family laxative. I is a combina-
ton of simple laxative herbs. free
from opiates or narcotic drugs, gentle
in its action and positive in effect. Il
costs only fifty cents bottle and can
be purchased in drug stores every
where.
Mr. Frank Klima, of 1909 Ashland
Ave, Baltimore. Md, wrote DR.. Cald-
well recently that he had tried about
everything without being helped until
he got bottle of DR. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which he considers the great
est known remedy for indigestion, con
stipation and stomach troubles.

Field and Nye.

Eugene Field was great lover OF
old books and quite collector of them.
His means were not adequate to his
desires, however. and one of the quaint
est proofs of this was a slip of paper
found by a purchaser of an old volume
in Fields handwriting. verse parody
ing ShakeSpeare's epitaph:
Kind friend, for goodness sake forbear
To buy the book thou findest here
For when | do obtain the pelf
mean to buy the book myself
Another bit of rime which is thor
oughly American is in the preface to
one of Bill Nye's books. 1t runs:
Go. little booklet, go.
Bearing an honored name.
TIL everywhere that you have went
They're glad that you have came.

cheerfulnsss and Cholera.

A cheerful disposition is held by
some doctors to be the best protection
against cholera. When this disease
first visited Paris. in 1892, a notice was
issued advising the inhabitants 80
avoid as far MS possible all occasions of
melancholy and all painful emotions
and to seek plenty of distractions and
amusements. Those with Il bright and
happy temperament are not likely to
be stricken down" This advice was
largely followed, and even when chol-
era was claiming over thousand
weekly victims the theatcrs and cafes
re tllron~ed. The epidemic was in

One week after that DR.. Joyce
made discovery that nearly
crushed him. Happening to look into
an old desk Of his son, he came
across a heavy manila envelope
tucked away under some books, as if
hidden. He opened It, to find within
ten 500 bills, the amount stolen
from Mr.. Purtelle!
His son was guilty-he could not
doubt it now, and the gentle spirit,
crushed and sorTowful, bent silently
beneath a consuming grief.
A few days later, from some
mysterious source, Mr.. Purtelle re-
ceived his thousand dollars back.
Had Barry Joyce sent it to him?

A new series of emotions came to
