nWhen Bearcat Went Dry'

One of the fastest, most exciting and realistic photoplay productions of the year is When Bearcat Went Dry the big super-feature now being shown at the Columbia theater. Adopted from the famous novel by Charles Neville Buck, it contains every element of hu man appeal and grows more interest ing, more gripping with each succeed ing reel.
 The majestic Cumberlands of east ern Kentucky form a splendid back ground for the unfolding of this play of illicit stills moonshiners, feuds, fights, love and courtship. The scenic efforts are of unusual splendor and alone make the offering one of unusual excellence.
 Charles Neville Buck has made use
 of the primitive mode of living to give | the picture the background of sim plicity that since time began has fur
 nished the big drama of the world The fights, feuds, and love romance l of these people have been cleverly in l termingled to create a picture drama | that holds the attention of an audience l like the grip of a wise. This picture has a half dozen fights that are nc child affairs, but are the tests oi
 strength and entrance between ath- letes.
 | A Pathe Review, a Current Topics
 and a Century two-reel comedy are
 the augmenting program numbers fol
 today.

Dear Helen and Girls:

preparing Christmas presents. 1 think
"Babs' poem was just wonderful.
Here is a story.
The Christmas Dinner.
The door flung open into the little
school room and a man came In with
a little girl on his arms. 1t was a
girl about 6 years of age with a shawl
wrapped around her. Her name was
Aneta White a poor widows daugh-
ter. She was taken by a farmer that
lived next door to where she lived.
When she got warmed at the fireplace
the children began to mako friends.
Among them was a rich girl named
Grace Clark. Grace paid more atten-
ton to Aneta than most of the girls
because she was friendly. They both
became great friends. Grace told her
mother after school about her and
they planned they would invite her
for a Christmas dinner for Christmas
was drawing near. The glorious day
came when Frances should visit them.
She was surprised at all the gifts she
got. The dinner was more to her than
anything for every dinner time she
would get bread and milk. Christmas
for Frances was the most happy event
of her life.

To unload a pack for you and for me.

The other Is q lady who will shake
