SCHOOL NEWS

A very pleasing Christmas program
was presented at the high school
Wednesday morning under the SUI
peryision of the Junior class. The
exercises commenced at 10 o'clock,
there having been only three periods,
and opened with a flag salute. The
main feature was the play, entitled
"Kleptomaniac," given by the Junior
girls. The entire sketch was very
we'll rendered and all those taking
part deserve a great deal of credit.
The cast was as follows: Mrs.
Chase Armsby, a widow, Anna Halla-
han; Mrs. Charles Dover, Anna Han
derhan; Mrs. Preston Shley, Alice
Gade; Miss Freda Dixon, Emma
Sanford; Miss Evans, a journalist,
Cora Dubois; Katie, q maid, Eliza
beth Smith. Miss Hallahan, acting
the part of the widow, won much APP
plause by her clever acting, Although
the play was not meant especially for
Christmas it was greatly enjoyed by
the school.
Following the play a carol was
sung by three boys Of No. Z school.
The selections given by the high
school orchestra took well with the
audience, inc considering that this
was the first appearance of the or
chestra IN public the Interest was
doubled. Mr.. Moe, popular at high
school affairs, sang o number of Sc
lections and a carol sung by the en-
tire school which followed the junior
girls singing ended the program.

MONSTER FEATURE TODAY
AT THE CRESCENT THEATRE

More columns of publicity have
been written about David Belasco than
any other star in the world has ever
inspired. His life has been a ro-
nance; his success almost an Arabian
Nights fairy tale. The sixty years of
his life have been crowded to the
brom.
Andn ow at this late date, David
Belasco has entered ~momentarily uHon
a new phase of his career. He has be-
come a motion picture star. At the
Crescent Theatre today and tomorrow,
he will be seen as the bright particu-
lar attraction of "A Star Over
the Stage Women's War Relief series
opens.
Belasco's father was Humphrey
Abraham Belasco, al English harle-
quin. His success in America vas
not what he expected, and the CLAM
u of the gold rush was not quite
faded when he decided to go into the
golden West. David, was born, in an
abandoned cellar in San Francisco.
Young Belasco was brought up as a
clerk In stores which his father sue
cessively started Early his thoughts
turned to the stage. As a child he
wrote two plays, one of which was
called The Roll of the Drum" His
next play was Jim Black, or the
ANCbI loCOl = 1NONClSC. 4Au CoAAy IL
Belasco turn to melodrama, wherein
lay his first successes. He remembers
having been trained in elocution as q
child and went to school until 1871
when he received his first theatrical
job, as call-boy in one of the San
Francisco theatres. He roamed San
Francisco streets at night, recited
melodramatic verses or dialogues of
his own composition. investigated the
worst and the most sensational uar
tiers and happenings of San Francisco,
and accumulated q deal of knowledge
which was of use to him later, when
he was employed in writing sensation
al melodramas for the theatres OF
that and other Western cities.
In the photoplaylet he is a produce
er. The play, the first effort of a
budding playwright is all ready to
open, when one of those complications
which involve the human element
occurs. The leading lady has fallen
violently in love with the author. Her
feeling is not reciprocated. AS q last
resort the actress decides to hold up
the opening, giving the alternative of
marrying her or seeing his first pro-
/ductiop fail to open. A dark house
stares Mr.. Belasco in the face. when
the stars understudy, the daughter of
the lady with whom the author boards
comes to the rescue. How they In
duce Mr.. Belasco to entrust the bur
den of a New York opening to her,
how she triumphs in the face of the
furious star, earns the title of "a Star
Over Night and the love of the au-
thor, form the climax of this dramatic
presentation.
The program also includes one OF
the best pictures made by Marguerite
Clark, every bodies ~favorite, Come
Out of the Kitchen"
In Come Out of the. Kitchen,a Miss
Clark is seen as an aristocratic Vir-
ginia girl who finds it necessary to
assume the role of a cook, but while
her accomplishment In this line are
nil, she manages to win the love of a
rich Northerner, which. after all
proved the best thing She could have
done.

BALLOTS COMING IN FOR
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Ballots for the election of a board
of diI ectors which were sent out on
Tuesday by the Chamber of Commerce
hav already begun to come in. Great
interest is being shown in the contest.
On Wednesday the day after the bal
lots We're ent out ten were received
and deposited in the ballot box and
up to II o'clock today sixty-one others
had been received, making a total in,
to date, of ~seventy-one ballots.
The election closes on December 80.
All ballots must be in by 5 o'clock
on that date or they Will not be
counted. From the fact that in the
election last year but ninety ballots
were received it would seem that as
seventy-one LAY already been re-
ceived this early in the present cleo
ton, that all of the membership will
cast ballots.
! Each ballot sent out was accompan-
led with an authorization letter. hi
letter IS TO be signed by the member
voting the ballot and sent back to the
Chamber of Commerce in the large in
velope in which the small ballot en-
Velope is enclosed for mailing. Unless
this authorization letter accompanies
the ballot envelope, the ballot is not
counted, as the letter is to verify the
humber of votes cast. The ballots in
the ballot envelopes are placed in the
ballot box and the envelope is not
~opened until the Board of Election
meets at 5 o'clock on December 80.
In some cases in the primary election
1t was found that the authorization
letter had been placed In the ballot
envelope, but voters are requested not
to do this as 1t causes considerable
confusion. The letter should be en-
closed in the large envelope along with
the ballot envelope and mailed to the
IChamber Of Commerce rooms.
In the primary election three votes
were lost because no authorization
letter was sent with the ballot. and
four ballot envelopes ave already
been received at the Chamber of Com
,merce, i in the present election without
authorization letters. These cannot be
counted unless the authorization letter
is sent in, and those who have sent
these ballots may recall hem and be
Isupplied with q new authorization let
ter and the ballot by calling at the
iChamber of Commerce.

COMMUNITY BUILDINGS As
MEMORIALS IN CITIES

A an outgrOWth of the movement
for community houses and other
forms of memorial buildings in
honor Of those who served in the war,
some communities have gone beyond
the idea of erecting a single edi1ce
and have conceived the plan OF a
group of buildings around a civic CEN
ter" says a recent bulletin of the Blu
reau of Memorial Buildings of War
Camp Community Service.
This PLAN says the bulletin, has
already been given consideration by
many cities and developed because,
after having decided on q building
as a war memorial, one section of
opinion favored q community house,
another a library, a third a city hall
or a fourth of high school or some
other structure.
Portsmouth and Newport News,
| Virginia, are two cities that are con-
sidering such groupings. Among the
buildings are included courts, mum
icipal offices, including police head
| quparteTs and euditoriums. An open
| plaza, with trees and lowers and a
memorial tower are a few of the
central features around which they
will be grouped. The tower planned
for one of these cities will con-
tain a big clock with a chime
OF bells at the top and below, in an
open space, WILL DC d hu5c DlOllAc

men who served in the war
Seattle, Washington, first planned
to build a vast memorial auditorium,
but the plan has since been broad
| ened to include provision for a civic
center whose chief feature would be
this auditorium. The plan has been
endorsed by practically every i'm
portant civic group in the city, and
the campaign for funds in the fall
will call for $2,500,000. to be sold
in shares of a dollar each.
birmingham, Alabama, and Ber-
kelley, California, are also consider
ing the building Of civic c%enters
| which are to be paid for from bonds,
municipal taxation and public sub
scription. An ope plaza for out
door meeting and concerts and an
auditorium are included in each
"The most ~pretentious of all the
plans Is that of Portland. Oregon,
whose memorial would be miles
long. By obtaining seven city DOCKS
| hat now break the continuity Of a
long parked central street. and inn
proving this, a wonderful Victory
Mall, two miles long, may be OBJ
tanned, lined by public buildings and
paths. One end would be a magni-
hcent union railroad station, and a
municipal dock. Leaving the sta-
| ton, entrance to the Victory Mall
would be marked by a Memorial
Entrance of .pylons and further on a
| Monument to Democracy in a square
| where the Mall turns. The Mall
would terminate in a Park with a
great shaft, or domed building on
: the hill to dominate the entire coun-
try for miles.
IAN additional feature Of the plan
ned Portland memorial Is the con-
tinuation of the Victor Mall in the
| Victory Highway running through
the state. A MEMORIAL Hospital
planned along this highway, and
many additional public buildings for
| the Victory Mall.
