BY Edwin 8. Porterl From the first

and throwing dark shadows across the

These triumphs Of the scenic art
rightly prepare one for what follows
and create an atmosphere to enable
one To- appreciate the wonderful pic

the headlined picture at the Nelson
Theatre today.
This celebrated romantic drama by
Hall Game IS woven skilfully by the
picture manipulators SO that various

drama seems to gain a thousandfold
by the Wizar1y Of the screen, as pic

Pauline Frederick, who was selected
20 depict Donna. Roma, could not be

Comedy Drama at Dixie.

"Her Fathers Keeper" at the Dixie
is comedy-drama based on the etar-
nal conflict between the new genera
ton and the old. 1t introduces us to a
gentleman Of the Old school who has
advanced views on business ethics but
quite Mid.Victorian ideas on woman's
sphere. When his daughter rebels
against the idle life he has planned for
her and insists on finding work, he
casts her off with old.fashioned pater-
nal rage, only to have her turn up later
in his office as his stenographer and
save him from the consequences o. 9
very doubtful business deal. The half
serious plot is enlivened by the very
spontaneous bits of humor introduced
by Jack Devereux as the young bust

Graduates in Canada
Plan on Homecoming

From all points of the compass
come letters from alumni and former
students at the State Normal school
saying they are planning to be pres
ent at the alumni ceremonies during
commencement week to observe the
twenty fifty anniversary of President
George A. Mcfarland in the service of
the school. Nor does distance seem
to be barrier for graduates who are
far removed from Valley City. Wit.

Editor, Normal School Budget, Valley
City.
Dear Sir: simply had to write a
line to tell you how much l enjoy the
paper every week. 1t is making me
so homesick that really think l shall
have to come to the reunion. As soon
as the paper comes, everything else
has to wait while read what prepare.
tions are being made for the big week
in June. I have written to Viola
Burke, or rather Mrs. Roy Wells of
my class of 1909, who lives only a
short distance from here, to see if she
intends to go home. If she is going,
surely will, and I don't know but
what l will anyway. l shall try to
come and renew acquaintances with
old familiar places, as we'll as faces.
Yours sincerely,

Play Day Competitors ::
to Do Real Farm Work

For many years the physical tests
for Play Day have been the high jump,
broad jump, dashes and so on. This
year the tests of physical skill will be
somewhat different in their character
and will have to do primarily with
present conditions in our nation. All
over the county the boys are busy
practicing hitching and unhitching
teams Of horses, loading and unloading
hay, hoeing, raking and spading in
preparation for the various contests.
The girls, too, are preparing and the
boys will have their hands full if they
hold their own against some of the
girls who will enter and try to take
the silver cup back to their school.
The boys and girls are marching,
marching, marching, every day and
will show some expert work on the
fair ground hill June 2.

and thus aid in the preserv alton of
the teeth and stomach.
