We see by the Miami papers that a
lot of patriotic Americans are kicking
on the rendition of Handel's "Mes-
siah" in that city. The same people
would think the Germans were foolish
and prejudiced to strafe a perform
ance of Shakspere's Hamlet. -
Ocala Star.
The Star was misinformed. There
was no "lot of patriotic Americans"
1t was merely supposed opportunity
for the local liquor organ to "get
back" at a. church that has on a num-
Der of occasions made monkey of it.
More than thousand patriotic AM
orleans attended the rendition of the
Messiah.-Miami Metropolis.
Thanks for the information, but we
found out a long time ago that the

A SPLENDID ATTRACTION

The announcement that Neil
O'Brien and his great American min
strels are coming to the Temple
theater Monday, March 25th, will be
received with satisfaction. 1t is
promised that this season everything
will be strictly new and up-to-date
and that production has been pro-
vided that will quite take the wind
out of all competitors. For the first
part, new and striking stage set
ting has been secured, which is said
to be a masterpiece in the art of
drapery hangings, and it is expected
to be quite surprise to the patrons
and admirers of Mr.. O'Brien and his
minstrel company.
OF course, Neil O'Brien himself
will have a new sketch. This years
offering being one which he has writ
ten and produced himself, called "In
the Secret Service" In this act Mr.
O'Brien will be assisted by other
members of the company and it is
said to be one of the most laughable
vehicles the comedian has yet beer
able to offer
Among the old and new favorites
to assist Mr.. O'Brien are Eddie Ross
Joe Coffman, Dan Futch, Joe Willard
Ray Waller, Ed Waller, Major
Nowak, Steve WERNER and William
Doran. The singing party will have
such notable musical singers as
Lester Haberkorn, Leslie Berry
James 1Barardi, Lea Laird, Howard
Vail, Fred d. Mills, Allen Karle
Barton Isbel, VIM. G. Carr, Waldo
Roberts, Chas. R. Wright and others
The daily parade and band concer
is said to be well worth waiting for.

President Wilson called Messrs.
McAdoo, Hoover, Garfield and other
government chiefs to a conference in
the White House to urge cooperation
of the various departments in matters
pertaining to the war. Seems to the
Star that said conference should have
been called about ten months ago.
However, tho Mr.. Wilson is slow, he
generally gets started sometimes,
and we suppose the country is big
enough to survive the effects of his
procrastination.

THE SEVEN SWANS"

The following from a Lewiston,
Me-, paper shows how far the fame
of the picture play, The Seven
Swans" is spreading. 10 is pity
that people all over the United States
who see the little princess cruising
away in a big umbrella" can't be told
that the limpid water of the stream
she is floating on is Ocala's own love-
ly Silver river. The following ex-
tract is interesting not only from its
local interest, but because of the ex-
cellent sentiment it expresses:
Seeing an old fairy tale come alive
on the screen sets one meditating
whether the world was as ever as
tired of fairy tales as it said it was.
Humanity gets too romantic some
times and demands to see every
thing swimming in rose-colored
mist. Then it finds it has enough of
that sort of thing, and it goes on a
perfect spree of realism, clamoring
to be knocked down with hard facts
as fast as it can scramble up. After
"a while, of course, it gets battered
and sore and wants to lie still and
watch that rose-colored mist creep
ing back over the world. You may
notice it always does creep back,
bringing the glamor of the wonder
tale to soothe our sensibilities.
1--WE may laugh at the hackneyed
situations beautiful maidens res
cued by Prince Charmings and wick
ed queens getting what is coming to
them when they are convicted of
plotting against the heroine But
when all this is actually made visible
to us we feel much the same emo
tons that were felt in the dawn of
literature as the bards chanted
strange tales in the market-place
What If, after all, these hackneyed
situations contain the essentials OF
literature and that is why mankind's
primitive instinct picked them out in
the first place as material for folk
tale?
AS for the realm of pure magic, il
will always have strong allurement
for the imagination.
"There was poetry in the idea OF

floating home to its mistress when
| it's witching work was done. Now
that the screen can show US that ball
coming like luminous bird out OF
the dark, we feel that the charm OF
the old idea is as strong as ever
When we see the little princess
cruising away in a big umbrella
lmysteriously operated by nothing but
a crooked stick, and the seven swans
padding valiantly to the rescue OF
their prosecuted sister and turning
into stalwart young men at the psy.

ed as the children when the wonder
tale is first told to them. Or if we arr
not, it is a sign that we are getting
too dull and grown-up and that we
need bath of poetry and romance
So probably the fact is that we were
woodworking ourselves when we loft
ly proclaimed that the world was tiree
of fairy tales and able to do without
them"

to be put forward as the regular
Democratic candidate.
