GARRICK

Once in a great while comes a
photoplay that reaches all hearts. A
photoplay that makes a never-to-be
forgotten impression. One that is long
remembered and by its prestige be-
comes a tradition Of the silent drama.
Such an achievement is the Pallas-
Paramount production showing at the
Garrick theatre today in a return en-
gagement by request.
Dustin Farnum, the Pallas Pictures
star, portrays the parson in The Par
son Of Panamint, the young lion
hearted shepherd of a strange ap-
pearing flock, the friend of the friend
less, the broken hearted, the rough
miner and the sodden derelict. To
the ones whose lives have been shorn
of their pretty adornments and amen
tiles, comes this six-foot stalwart, and
his tragic life makes a screen drama
that is incomparably fascinating.
Into this part Farnum brings a COM
pretending compassion and a noble
hearted tenderness that wildly con-
trasts with the lighting bob-cat"
spirit that also animates this remark
able role. 1t is a Dustin Farnum
masterpiece.

The Argus Santa Claus has COM
pleted his work for the year 1917
and it is the sincere wish Of that pa
iron saint that every child in the city
Of Rock Island and the outlying dis
tricts will have a Merry Christmas.
The Argus Santa Claus committee
hopes that it has not overlooked a
single child who viii have no Christ
mas unless taken care Of by that or
ganization. 1t has tried TO reach every
poor child in the city whose parents
are unable to give it a Christmas,
and TO take some of the cheer of the
season into each lOWly home.
It was d great satisfaction to the
members of the committee who were
given the work of investigation Of the
condition Of the poor in the city to
find that conditions have so vastly i'm
proved over those Of last year, and in
/ fact several years back. Fathers have
! been able to find work at increased
wages and in many cases families
! have been able to regain their feet
and start on the upward climb The
: result is that many families that last
year would have been entirely with
out Christmas will this year be able
to provide their own holiday gifts
! There are still many destitute people
and worthy of every effort that can Be
made in their behalf.
In families of five. six. even up t
/ y children, the matter Of providing
| stockings alone is a big item, not TAX

they must all have shoes every few
months, they must be warmly clothed
must be fed, must have homes, beds

prices Of every day necessities it il
an enormous undertaking to keep thu
families together in any manner o
comfort. These are the people tina

especially tried to reach. The list in

children and to each Of them was giyel
a very nice package indeed
Through the generosity of the pub

day the seven days allowed for the

The failure OF IS out of the first
200 to return their questionnaires. IS

expected and the exemption officials
are at q loss to account for it. Ii was
naturally presumed that there would
be a number of the registrants who
would fail TO return their question

nearly half Of them unreturned. Part
OF the missing ones are accounted Tor
in those returned to the exemption
board by the postofflce after efforts 10

other reason believed responsible for
