MILITARISM REBORN

When she knew him
For the few short weeks
Before he Went Across,
His face was so brown
And his eyes so bright
And ne was so straight,
And muscular,
And his uniform SO perfect
With its little gold bars on the shoulders
And the heavily embroidered wings over the heart,
And the shiny puttees~
He much the Man
And the Soldier
That she forgot that the War was going to end some
day
And she went and married him.
And when the War over,
He came back
And got out Of the Army.
Whereupon it developed
That he had his hair cut round from choice,
And that he liked silk shirts
With broad red and blue stripes
Or purple dots
The size of moth balls,
And that he yellow shoes
With bumpy toes,
And bright green hats,
And vivid SUITS
And that he had passion
For Pinochle and Snappy Stories
And cigars with bright bands
Which he never removed,
And that he had a happy way of making himself
More comfortable than any one else
At social gatherings,
And that he said, He don't and You was
And Hathaletic."

In the house her father pays for,
While Charlie Furnishes an addlng-mach1ne,

AthIeticism in the East,

The general athletic awakening Is
perhaps the most important effect that
our occupation of the Philippines has
had upon the far East. Just as the old
Olympic games, begun by one village,
grew to be the great recurring event at
which all the Hellenic peoples could
meet in peaceful competition, so this
modern athletic movement starting
from Bagnio has spread to other far
eastern peoples, and has given them
not only a ground for friendly meeting.
but also a basis for genuine respect
and mutual understanding.

One of the most thrilling scenes
ever photographed in a motion pic
ture is the battle fought by Henry,
earl Of Kerhill, with a great lion

husbands death in the jungle, Di-

he is living on a ranch with his
squaw, and after some exception

At the Spencer.

Charles Ray has an entirely new
! character in his latest Paramount
photoplay which will be displayed
at the Spencer theatre for two days
commencing tomorrow. In this
story, written by Julien Josephson.
Mr.. Ray appears as a country youth
who undergoes the Universities of
training at modern military camp.
The story has the atmosphere of
camp life and Mr.. Ray portrays the
character of youth who bears the
name of Ulysses S. Grant Briggs
and is expected by his grandfather
to live up to all the moral stand
ards of the great American gen
eral.
When Ulysses hits the camp
armed with his grandfather's mus
ket of 81 and all ready to go after
the kaiser, he is the butt of many
jokes by his more sophisticated
comrades, and when he lets drop
the remark that once he took a cor
respondence course in sleight-of-
hand he is prevailed upon to ap-
pear as a performer at the camp
theatre. He arrays himself in an
oriental gown and makes his bow
as the great Abdul ben Mazzazza.
All his tricks go wrong, however,
and he retires in confusion, much
TO the uproarious delight of the
rockies. He gains the sympathy,
however, of Betty Martin, village
girl who is appearing as a dancer.
He is quite smitten but after he
sees her perform her dance, he
tells her he is sorry he cannot in
clude her among his acquaintance
Later, however, ne protects her by
whipping the villain and refusing
to tell why he did so. His silence
results in his being summoned for
court-martial. The girl rushes to
the court-martial and confesses
that he is shielding her. He is
commended by his officer and
Betty lets him know that he stands
ace high in her affections Doris
Lee is the leading woman.

latest Carlyle BlackweIl-E Evelyn
Greeley World picture and it is
scheduled for showing today at the
Rialto theatre. 1t is another of
those delightful comedy dramas in
which this famous team has been
making such an enormous success
during the past year.
Hit or Miss is the fascinating
story Of a press agent and of the
predicament he gets into through
following the girl he has become
infatuated with, to a colony of
scientific bug hunters, where he
loses all his money playing poker.
Mr.. Blackwell enacts the role of
the press agent in his usual inimita-
BILE manner. Miss Greeley appears
in the role of the young lady with
whom he is in love.
