Salome, Bacchante. When he is COM
missioned to paint the sacred rosebush

Elsie Ferguson will be seen at the
Rivoli this week in "Thc Song of Songs"
Theatregoers here are familiar with
Edward Sheldon's play from which
Charles Maigne made the Aircraft
screen version for Miss Ferguson, and
many others have read the original
Sudermann novel from which Sheldon
adapted the play. The role Of Lily

which strongly suggests the stars

Naturally the photoplay is more elab-

and an opportunity is afforded Miss
Ferguson to wear series of striking
costumes. Cecil Fletcher, Crawford

Robert Cummings are prominent in the
cast. The direction was the final task
by the late Joseph Kaufman.

Out of the Mouth of Babes

One day recently little Mary McAlis-
ter made public appearance which was
quite impromptu and about which she
knew nothing Even now she does not
know that it happened.
At risk of getting ourself thor
oughly disliked by doting mammas we
are going to start off by saying that
we do not like the average stage child.
Haywood Broun spoke q wonderful
truth when he said that, watching the
colored players, his one thought was
that all children should be born black
because they were SO much better be-
haved than the white ones.
That is the way we feel about it, zoo,
so it was not with any great amour,
of anticipatory pleasure that we went
to keep an appointment which had
been made for us to meet this child
wonder of the screen, Mary McAlister.
1t was in the reception room of the
Hotel Aston that we first saw Mary,
and before we had been there five
minutes every one in the place had
learned that the little star was there
and had come in to listen and to look.
Mary'is a beauty, but quite a diff
fcrent sort Of beauty. She hasn't any
red checks, no big blue eyes or curls.
She has pale ivory skin and large
black eyes and pale yellow hair, which
is clipped. And she is very dignificd
and yet cordial. Without any prompt
ing this is what Mary said: ain my es-
timation New York far surpasses Chi
cago. Your transportation facilities
are indeed superior. eve wondered if
Mary had yet ridden on Seventh Ave
nue. carr You see, in Chicago we have
no subway, and our buses run just
when they please. I adore riding on
your buses, and shopping in Fifth
Avenue is such fun.
"And then your theatres are so nice.
Sweetie and I (she calls her mother
Sweetie) -Sweetie and I go to see
everything. One must, you know, to
get the right perspective. Don't ask
me which I prefer, the spoken or the
silent drama, for don't know. They
are SO different. In the pictures one
has the advantage of variety of stage
settings and the exteriors which are
always lovely; but, on the other hand,
one must rely absolutely on ones ex-
pressions to portray ones emotions,
while on the stage one has the advan-
tage Of the voice."
Yes, little Mary McAlister, aged
seven, said all of this, and she hadn't
learned it, either. She had thought it
all out for herself. "Of course" she
continued, "there is no INDIGESTION in
my mind as to my future course I
never should care to do anything but
pictures. love them, and I am quite
miserable if do not work for few
days.

owe all of my success to Sweetic."
Here "Sweetie" appeared with some
pictures Of her brilliant young daugh-
ter, and there was one of Bobo, Bos-
ton bull, which is the special protsge Of
Mary. This started Mary off on an
other train of thought

covered areas; and we were shelled
the entire day. Finally we went into
position and you should have seen

used the pick myself, and pretty soon
we had our holes well under the sur

I have seen something since l last

duty toward their masters, and be-
ing shot down and mutilated in a
most terrible fashion. l saw horse

which you wrote July 10th, l could
do nothing but move away from my

My Dear Mama:
guess you will be surprised to
know that I am in the hospital with
Spanish influenza, but l must say
right now before l go any further,
don't want you to worry about me;
for l am in the hands of the Red
Cross and we soldiers do not suffer
for thing. I have been in the hos
pital six days. I was certainly sick
when I first got here, but the nurses
went right to work on me and l got
better right away.
The Red Cross is certainly doing
good work here There are four hun
dred cases of the "fu" here in this
ward and no telling how many in the
others. The nurses and doctors are
very good to us boys. I was wonder
ing when l reached the hospital what
I would do for stationery and stamps
but the evening after l came here
the Y. M. C. A. man came and sup
piled us, so you see we don't suffer
for thing, so don't you worry about
me for Uncle Sam will take care of
his boys. I hope you all will not have
the "fiu" but it seems that everybody
is going to have it before it blows
over.
You don't know how glad 1 am
that John it at home yet. / have GER
tainly been worried. If he has to go
into service I don't see how you all
can do without him.
How is the cotton market? We new
er hear anything about cotton mar
cts. Everything is SO different here
from old South Carolina.
My commanding officer says that
as soon as the "hu" blows over we
Southern boys are going east. l
couldn't be pleased any better than
to be started that way this afternoon.
But l don't expect to see home until
this war is over and I don't think
that will be before next September,
if then.
1 am sorry that the schools were
closed. 1 am anxious for Maud and
Lavina to be in school. I think they
will open again some time during
November anyway.

September ZZ, I9lS =.
Dear Henry:
You may be little surprised to
get a letter from me. l have been
thinking for some time that I would
write you but under the conditions
I haven't had a chance.
After leaving Camp Jackson
haven't stayed very long at place.
didn't stay at Camp Sewer or Camp
Upton, either as long as I thought
would and of course what little spare
time l had l would write to the home
folks.
My trip so far has been all right.
I have seen great deal in my trav-
els. The trip from New York across
was something else! We landed in
England and stayed there short
while and then came on to France. 1t
certainly is a beautiful country. The
scenery is wonderful. The best roads
I ever saw. No mud at all. l would
like to have you here in your Buick
to see the country and enjoy the
good roads.
They raise grapes, Irish potatoes,
sugar beets, beans and grain, and
they raise some fine cattle and sheep.
They use mostly draft horses, and
use two-wheeled wagons with one or
two horses. When two are used, one
is in front of the other which looks
funny to me. The travel in every
way is somewhat different to ours.
Two story street cars with lady con-
ductors are used. You ought to see
the bicycles. Everybody has them.
There are very few autos for pleas
ure over here:-The vSl,ieles-oso- s,,eet
ly trucks and there is certainly
great number of them.
] notice from the papers that you
all have had a new registration over
there. I guess you signed the cards.
1 suppose it got good many of the
folks around there. l guess some OF
them are somewhat scared about 1t.
They need not worry. 1t is a Won
derful trip to come over here and
see some of the world. have GER
tainly seen some sights.
We are furnished all the clothes
we need and plenty to eat. The Red
Cross gave US sweater, two pairs
of good wooden socks, wristlets and
a comfort bag, which is real nice for
us and big help, too. We are fur
nished everything we need to make
life comfortable.
The money in France and Eng
land is different from ours somewhat
and is hard to learn. am getting
along with the money all right but
can't do much talking to the French
people. We manage to get along
somehow, though.
The people over here live in small
villages together, a little larger than
Golfers and go out on the farm TO
work. Everybody lives in rock, brick
or concrete houses. You seldom ever
see a wooden building.
haven't seen George Miller but
once since we came over, but we
don't stay very far apart now.
I often think Of the good times
that I have had at your home. am
living in hopes of having some more
in the future. You can tell the folks
at home that you heard from me
when you see them.
Best wishes to you and the resi-
of your family.
