"Cheerfnl Givers. -

Bessie Love appears as Debby in
the Triangle play Cheerful Givers, "
at the Isis today, and the Triangle
Riddles, who are seen as orphans,
play important parts in the story.
An orphanage in a little commun-
ity is bankrupt. Parson Deadly, the
superintendent, and his two daugh-
tiers, Deborah and Abigail, decide to
farm out" the children to different
families. A woman financier is the
holder of the orphanage mortgage.
She reads of the disposition made OF
the children and offers to take care
of the oldest boy.
Her offer is received at the parson-
age, but unfortunately there is no
oldest boy. So Debby herself as
sumes the role of a boy and accepts
the offer. She does not deceive any
Of the Gray household Horace, the
son Of Mrs. Gray, is attracted by
Debby, but his mother has made a
mollycoddle of him by keeping him
away from all serious business at
fairs. Debby awalxens his real man
hood, while Lizzie Vance, his mother 8
| secretary, is leading him on to rob
his own mother.
Debby knows of their scheme and
substitutes a roll of fake money in The
safe. The three orphans from the par
| sonage have come to see her, and she
is hiding them in the house. They
see her switch the packages, throw
the real money behind a chair in the
library. Horace enters and takes the
fake money. The theft is discovered
and Lizzie Vance accuses Debby, but
Debby's father, who had come to take
the children home, had seen Horace
in the garden, and when the youth
enters very soon, repentent and beg
ging forgiveness, the parson accuses
him. But the money he returns is
the fake. Debby offers to show the
whereabouts of the real money, but II
cannot be found. The children nc
longer remain quiet, but come from
their hiding place and reveal the
money in the safe, where the little
boy had replaced IL. -------,---..
Mrs. Gray agrees to allow Horace
to make a start in the world for him
self and the girl he has chosen as his
wife. She disnisses her scheming sec
rotary and turns over her beautiful
house as a home for the orphans.

Why Twas Senators That Made En-
Laugh.

Laugh.
Outlaws of hearty laughter rent
the tense silence which attended the
showing of '"The Price of Silence"
which is at the Bonita today, the new
William Fox film production, to the
city officials of Los Angeles, Cal,
when the senate chamber scene was
flashed on the screen.
A. Carlos, general western repre-
sentative of the Fox Film Corpora
ton, who had arranged the presenta-
ton, was shocked. He looked hard
at the film, hoping to catch the break
which caused the uproarious out
break. Failing in this he waited I'M
til the end of the show. Then he
asked several of the guardians of the
city's fate: 'tIVhy?"
By picking upSA> few words here
and there from the new outburst of
"haw-haws," Mr.. Carlos was finally
able to get the cause of the laughter.
The senate chamber scene shown in
the film was taken was taken in the
actual senate chamber of the Cali
fornia legislature at Sacramento. The
session was adjourned temporarily to
make room for the actors, but many
of the senators stayed around, by
request, to fill out the scene. The
sight of familiar senatorial figures
strutting about on the film was toe
much, even for the dignity of the
Los Angeles officials when guests OF
a great film company. The serious
ness with which the California solons
played their parts as supers in the
film added to the hun1or. several OF
the city rulers explained.

Pauline Frederick in ''Her Better

Thomas Meighan, who is appearing
with Pauline Frederick in "Her Bet

Her Better Self in the part where
it was necessary for her to rush to
my rescue in an automobile, she work
ed in one of the most exciting auto
races against time ever pictured,
driving her car herself although the
director begged her to allow herself
to be doubled in the dangerous work.
This was all very well, but it necessi-
tated holding up the decision Of the

self was made doubly hard by the

Bridge is One Mile Long.

The Lillian bridge, which is mile
long, was recently completed at a
cost of $4,000. The dedication ex-
erclses have been delayed so that the
road between Pensacola and the
bridge might be completed so that
automobiles from various points in
Florida can come for the exercises.
The bridge spans Perdido Bay at a
point ten miles above the gulf, which
according TO opinions expressed by
many travellers, is one of the most
beautiful stretches of water in the
world. The bridge was built by the
Lillian Bridge Company, an Alabama
corporation. 1t is built on 1880 pill
ings, and contains one million feet
gathered within three miles of the
site. It has a double Jack knife"
draw forty feet in the clear. The
deck is sixteen feet in width, with
three and a half feet fiaring railing.
The water Is twenty feet deep
through each draw.
Automobiles bringing many hun
dred people from Florida, Alabama
and other states are expected, A
good delegation is expected from Mo-
bile and Mayor Pillans and other
good roads men are working for the
success of the event.
