The Regeneration of Aunt Mary


z The Remuneration of Aunt Mary
given by the Senior class of the High
School under the direction of Mrs. j.
W. Read, in the Normal auditorium,
Friday evening, June 18th, was well
received. Mrs. Read is particularly
successful in putting on a play with
amateur performers This is the second
production of the play but the same
interest on the part of the actors that
made the first production a success,
secured the attention of the audience
from first to last.
Pearl Mcintosh as Aunt Mary, was
especially good. The proceeds of the
play will go to the Junior Red Cross.

WAR WORK AT

Ear'y In the fall OF 1917. Miss Rici,
principal OF the Jefferson achoo,
building. became greatly Interested
in Red Cross work In connection with
children. Tho girls OF the unpcr
grades were to be given an opportun-
ity for doing sewing. under super
vision. But the boys wore equally DE-
sirous OF serving and nothing seemed
open to them. Remembering stories
OF shepherds and sailors who knit.
Mise Rich herself. learned the nrt that
abe might teach her boys These boys
were delighted that they had O chance
to work and during the hour when thc
girls have been sewing. they have
been patiently busy with the celiuioid
needles. At first he work was con
fined to wash cloths. Ralph and Rob
eft Sullivan. Stanley Norman and
Julia McDonough deacrve special
mention for their work with the was!,

AT THE REPUBLIC TOMORROW

In Confession" Miss Jewel Car
men has one of the most powerful
dramas of the screen. She will be
seen in it at the Republic Theatre to-
morrow
Confession" seems to have been
written especially for Miss Garments
beauty and her sterling emotional
powers. She begins as a bride, and
the bridal dress and veil enhances her
radiant loneliness. She and the bride
groom slip away from their guests. 1t
is the beginning of their honeymoon
and, as it happens, it is also the be-
ginning of a series of events that
whirl through to tremendous climax
: They are held up and their baggage,
money and even the brides wedding
ring is taken by the highwaymen
When they arrive at their hotel the
clerk does not believe they are mar
ried and they spend the night in two
arm chairs in the lobby AT dawn the
bridegroom saunters out on the porch
to smoke. Suddenly he hears a woman
scream. He enters room off the
porch and finds a woman murdered.
When the detectives enter. he is bend
ing over the body holding the woman's
jewels and the steel paper cutter with
which she was killed. He is tried,
convicted and sentenced to the chair
Appeals to the governor are in vain.
The brides father has the bride put
on all her jewelry and parade about
the hotel, believing that the man who
murdered the woman will be lured on
by the gems. The night before the
day set for the electrocution of the
bridegroom a man enters the brides
room. He is caught and confesses he
committed the murder There follows
spirited race to the governor. The
latter calls the warden of the prison
on the phone. The warden sends
back word: TOO late" the current
had been turned on.
1t is in this awful predicament we
find Miss Carmen. An then-and then
comes the big surprise of the picture.
, II pops Unexpectedly and delightfully."-
The opportunity for emotional act
ing occurs throughout the entire
story. Miss Carmen proves equal to
the task She makes each point tell
foreefully on the screen She has
never done better work

This will enable workers to get in

The Position OF The Red Cross.
At the conclusion of the conference
w. Frank Persons, Director General,
congratulated the directors for the
manner in which the task had been as
sumed and the encouraging results
already accomplished.
There can be no doubt of the well
come that the soldier and sailor in
service will give to the Home Service
worker who offers his help" said Mr..
Persons, nor any question that the
American Red Cross is going to do it's
best to see that the trust which men in
service feel in us to see that their
families are taken care of, will be
justified, so long as the need shall
exist"
