A Toast TO Laughter.

Here's to laughter, the sunshine of
the soul, the happiness of the heart,
the ieaven of youth, the privilege of
purity, the echo of innocence, the
treasure Of the humble, the wealth of
the poor, the head of the cup Of pleas
ure; it dispels detection, banishes
blues and mangles melancholy; for
US the foe of woe, the destroyer of
depression, the enemy of grief; it is
what makes kings envy peasants.
piutocrats envy the poor, the guilty
envy the Innocent; it's the sheen on
the silver of smiles, the ripple on the
waters Of delight ;the CLINT of the gold
o. gladness; without it humor would
ne dumb, wit would wither, dimples
would disappear and smiles would
sn1lriyel. for it's a glow of clean con-
science, the voice of pure soul, the
Dlfth OF mirth, the swan-song of sad
ness, Anderson sc. )Intelligencer.

Marguerite Leslie, known as Lon-
don,s loveliest leading lady, makes
her her film debut in the Equitable pro-
dnction of Roy L. McCardeli's absorb

s.The Question" is in FIVE acts, replete
with striking scenes and situations,
and presents in a vividly realistic way
the follies and foibles Of so-called

follow them. The play Itself, without
the added attractiveness of Miss Les

Entertainment, but with the beaut al
star in a role that fits her like glove,
the story in its visualized form takes
an unusual charm and conveys a pow
erful lesson. A synopsis of the plot
follows:

spoiled society girl, who determines
to avoid maternity and keep up her
social gayeties. Anna Lee, who works

worthless father. Frank Gray, an
