WHERE WE'LL GO TODAY.
A Beautiful BIT OF Acting.


Mother o. Mine" which opened at
the Majestic yesterday. comes fully
up 10 advance notices. 1t is n whole
some story built around mother-love
and its appeal gets close to the heart.
Ruby La Fayette's Characterization of
mother IL indeed one of the most mo-
table pieces OF the act art ever seen
on the screen. There is not false or
unnatural move. 1t is a perfect por-
trayal, nothing overdone. but faith
fully, sympathetically and beautifully
acted. 1t Si worth the price OF a.dmis-
sion to see this fine old Shakespear-
ian player bring out this role.
Rupert Julian who directed the pic
ture, gives a satisfactory and dignified
portrayal of the son, who, having
climbed the ladder in the great city of
New York. denies his mother when
she visits his fine home and tries to
pass her off as his "old nurse" Later,
of course, he repents his unnatural
act and of course mother forgives
him. Ruth Clifford is unusually pretty
as the sweetheart and appears to fine
advantage.
The photography is beautifully done
and the best thing in that department
of picture making Bluebird has put
over. 1t is about flawless.

sponded TO the fullest extent In empty

ting stock to market.
The feed situation in Tillman
county, however, continues TO be Sc
rious, according to word from there.
1t is said that farmers i'm the Davidson
community have lest n number of
hogs because they did not have the
proper food for them. Others are
selling their chickens for Just what
they can get for them because they
have not the feed to fattcn them for
market. Rather than To let their hogs
starve TO death farmers have fed
wheat IL Ia said that prairie hay,
which In times past has been dis
carded as hardly fit for food. is selling
at 81 "A bale, which is equivalent to
about $25 u ton.

theory as to the weakness recently
