BERT LYTELL is AUTHOR
AS WELL AS ACTOR

Bert Lytell, who will be seen
as the star of Unexpected
Places" at the Orpheum theatre
is not content with being known
to fame only as an actor but also
has aspirations as an author and
playwright.
In making the screen version
OF unexpected Places" which
was adapted from the story of
that name written by Lieut..
Frank R. Adams and published
IN the Blue Book Magazine, A. S.
Levine, scenario writer for
Metro elaborated with Mr..
Lytell. This was not the actors
tlrst attempt as he had aided in
writing the script of "No Mans
Land" This was only the be-
ginning of Mr.. Lytell's literary
efforts as he has now written a
play which was bought by Metro
and which will be adapted for
screen purposes. Mr.. Lytell will
himself be seen as the star in his
own play. At the Orpheum
theatre Tuesday November 18.

LONG COLD WINTER.

According to an article in Sun
days Spokesman-Review, the
Spokane Indians say the skin is
thick on the belly of the squaw-
fish and the fur is heavy on the
back of the squared. They are
preparing for long, cold winter
and their homely predictions are
to be taken to heart by motorists
Many drivers will soon put their
cars away for the winter and
think no more of auto driving
until along about the ides of
March. Many automobile tires
will go into storage with thou
sands of miles of wear left in
them and car owners should take
the few precautions necessary to
keep them from damage while
they are resting.
Here's bundle of Suggestions
Tor the owner who wants to put
his tires away and find them in
good shape next spring:
Wash tires carefully on out
side to remove all oil and other
harmful substances. Remove
the tires from the wheels and
wrap IN paper or old carpets.
Store in a cool, dry place away
from light. Heat, light and
moisture are enemies of rubber.
Cold has no bad effect on tires,
but they should be properly
If tires are left on car, jack up
the car, deflate the tires, and
wrap them in covers. Don't let
the car stand on the tires all
winter. To do so means weak
ening them in the parts that
rest on the floor.

LITTLE STAR: BIG PLAY.

When Governor Goodrich, of
Indiana, gave Baby Marie Os-
borne a hearty hug, and a re-
sounding kiss, after she had
placed a buttonnaire in his lapel,
he paid the little star and the
plays in which she is appearing
this compliment:
you can we'll believe little
Marie, I will always remember
this, and especially when I see
you in pictures, of which I am
very fond; and I know you are
doing a big work in entertaining
the little folks with clean film
offerings"
This sentiment has been re-
peated by the mayors of many
cities, which Baby Marie visited
on her way to the Pacific Coast !;
and by thousands of letters re-
ceived from admirers all over
the country. "The Old Maids
Baby" which will be shown at
the Orpheum Theatre on Sunday
is superlative example of the
class of picture so highly COM
mended. 1t is not only clean,
but it abounds in human inspira-
ton, and sounds a great compass
sionate note, to which no on
locker can fail to respond. 1t is
a story furnishing a treat, in the
very beginning, for the children
in its graphic circus scenes, AMI
for the grown-ups it has an
abundance of interest dealing
with the two men who love the
"old maid" the despicable plot
which involved the circus child
and the proper adjusting of the
triangle by the baby, who, in a
superbly dramatic moment, neal
the finish of the sctory, almost
walks into the arms of death
with a smile upon her face, seek,
ing her mother and father
gone from her forever. The
play is big in theme, big in emo,
ton for old and young; a de.
lightful mixture of smiles anC
tears.

FOR BETTER EDUCATION.

The educational facilities of Escambia county
are today far ahead of any such advantages that
this county has ever afforded. And these adj
vantages will increase with the recognition of
the people as to the Importance of education, and
the way it is allied with improvement in every
vocation of life, whether that be letters, COM
merce industry.
Nothing of greater Importance has taken place
in this state for many decades than the passage
of the compulsory school attendance law, which
has been rendered practicable through the
mothers Pension, child welfare bill, passed by
the last Florida legislature.
Without the welfare bill it would have been
almost impossible to have enforced the compul-
sorry attendance law, it it has been found by
many of those interested in child welfare work
in Florida, that many mothers are largely de-
pendent on the earnings of their children, of
which a compulsory school attendance law de-
prives them.
Reports of the Moonlight Schools for adults in
this country show deep craving for education
among even the most ignorant, who have had
small opportunity to realize what they have
missed, through lack of education. With a few
years, if the compulsory school attendance laws
are enforced no man will reach manhood with
out his rightful share of the fundamentals of
education, with which one may carve out destiny

FOR HOME BUILDING.

The mayor of Pensacola has appointed COM
mittee of one hundred to plan for centennial
celebration of the one hundredth anniversary OF
the purchase of Florida from Spain.
Pensacola at this time has not housing facill-
ties to take care of the people who are already
here and if we are to have great centennial
celebration, we must remember that there must
be some means of caring for the people after they
get here.
One of the things need today more than
another is housing facilities in Pensacola. II we
are going to advocate great centennial celebra-
ton in Pensacola we must realize that we have
to furnish housing facilities for those who will
visit Pensacola at that time.
If a home building movement were started
now. these facilities would not only be greatly
increased by the date of the centennial In 1921,
but housing conditions would be greatly I'M
proved by next winter, when it is expected that
great number of tourists will visit Florida. Al
ready the South Florida cities are making plans
Tor caring for the people who swarm to Florida
each winter and unless Pensacola gets busy and
does some building, we not only shall be IN no
position to entertain the thousands who would
be attracted to Florida in 1921, but it will be
useless to advertise either for winter tourists or
permanent settlers.

lighting purposes.

| The city hall employees seem to be divided
| against themselves, and it is claimed in some
quarters that there have been mistakes made in
bookkeeping, and that affairs are not as bad as
| represented However whatever the mis-
takes, there should be some way to get at the
root of the trouble.
In any business house. if such condition ex-
listed, the books would Immediately be audited,
and steps would be taken to fix the blame. The
city funds the funds of the people and if
financial matters at the city hall are in mud
die, then the books should be audited and blame
placed where it properly belongs.
One thing is very certain. If there is not
money enough to take care of the street depart
ment there is something radically wrong some
where.
1t is claimed that, in order to meet the sit
uation' the street department has been borrow
ing from the fire and police departments, and it
is also stated THAT SEVEN MEN HAVE BEEN
DROPPED FROM THE POLICE FORCE AND
ONE FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
TWENTY-THREE MEN FROM THE STREET
DEPARTMENT.
In other words, the city commissioners have
been ''robbing Peter to pay Paul"
And between their failure to make good with
either Peter or Paul, Pensacola seems in a fair
way to be left with the bag to hold.
If such a condition existed in any business
house as exists today at the city hail. the affairs
would at once be placed in the hands of experts
Pensacola citizens should insist that an expert
