ductiOn is one of the things the
near future holds is always pleas
ing news to those who care for
the best IN photoplay art, for it is
a recognized fact that the pictures
!. made by this master director are
sStual theatrical events. Mr. De-
Miles latest creation, Fer Better,
For Worse" will be shown again
at the Spencer Square theatre to-
morrow and Saturday
For those who are familiar with
the work of Mr.. DeMille, no furth-
er statement is necessary than that
a picture is directed by him per-
sonally, for this knowledge is an
assurance that the theme, the story,
the acting and the production will
all be more than excellent Those
who saw his last production, Don't
Change Your Husband" are still
talking about it and no one can
forget his older pictures, such as
The Squaw Man" or "Old Wives
for New" I'VE Can't Have Every
thing" Till I Come Back to You"
and THE Whispering Chorus"
Edgar Selwyn, a well known
playwright, wrote the original
story. He intended to produce it
as a stage play next season in
New York, but Mr.. DeMille pur-
chased the rights to it, for it was
exactly the sort of thing he was
looking for-timely, dramatic, vivid
in Characterization and genuinely
human.
A cast of the usual DeMille ex-
cellence has been selected to por-
tray the various roles Leading is
Elliott Dexter, and others are
Gloria Swanson, Tom Forman,
Wanda Hawley. Theodore Roberts,
Raymond Hatton and Sylvia Ash

my fine tail, which 1 can fling this way
and then that way, and which I can
twist about any branch of any tree
and so have it help me to climb, just
as many of the monkeys use their
tails"
Its good of you," said a voice, 'to
feel so badly about people not having
tails" and the Brazilian Opossum saw
q funny looking little creature stand
ing in front of him.
"Tm Peter Goblin" said the little
creature, land I've been hiding be-

you talked you didn't mind being heard

"Then too, knew 1 could come and
tell you some things you hadn't heard.
'People don't want to have tails.
They don't care much about climbing
trees either. Boys and girls like to
climb trees, but they don't wish for
tails.
"Pve never heard a boy or a girl
wish for a tail, and knoY boys and
girls pretty WELL" Peter Goblin said.
''They don't know me so well. but l
do know them well, and I know they
never wish for tails.
"It may seem strange to you, but it
is true. So Mr.. Brazilian Opossum,
you can be as happy as you like over
your tail which is indeed useful to
you, but don't waste your time feeling
sorry for creatures who haven't tails.
for they don't really want them"
STRANGE" said the Brazilian Opos-
sum, show creatures can be happy
without tails. Still it is good of you
to come and tell me, Mr.. Goblin. I
won't waste my time feeling sorry for
them any MORE"
"That's right" said Peter Goblin,

you'd become quite unhappy yourself,

"My tail is really the important
thing" said the Brazilian Opossum.
1T really and truly is. Now, there
are some people, for example, who
don't have tails at all.
"In fact, now that l come to think
of it, 1 don't know of anyone with a
tail. Not a single, solitary person.
And not even crowds of people have
tails.
"They have stories, tales of adven-
ture and such things. but quite differ
ent from our tails, which are, as ev-
eryone knows, the most important
part of our bodies.
$50 1 think l should tell people, and
all creatures who don't know, a little
about myself.
'In the first place am an opossum.
One would imagine that from my
name, and the rest of my name tells
some more of my story. 1t tells that
| am from Brazil and that is why 1
am known as the Brazilian Opossum.
"That is as fine name As anyone
could hope to have.
"There are some other creatures l
greatly admire. They are the mon
keys-that is-certain of the monkeys
Il admire the ones who use their
tails in climbing, who make use of
their tails as people make use of their
arms and legs.
"Oh dear, oh dear, how sorry I do
|
to have a tail.
u suppose, of course, they can't
have tails, or they would have had
them before now. l imagine they
can't sell them in the shops, which
seems a great pity.
Il am sure if some good shopkeeper
should put up a sign:
"Tails for Sale, there would be a
great rush to buy them and the police
men would have to be called to keep
the people from falling over each
other.
''No, there can't be any shops of that
sort, or the people would have had
tails.
"And evidently their mothers and
their daddies must have been care
less not to have said when they ar
rived:
"'Here, you go straight back ant

It Costs Nothing to Publish 4
Newspaper.

Many people seem to be of the
opinion that of all the requisites for
the publication of newspaper, money
is the least essential. They think
that the editor does all of the hust-
ling for news, listens to the kicks of
disgruntled subscribers. usually two
years behind on the. subscription
books, and such other little things as
come up daily in the average news
paper office just for the fun that he
gets out of it. Twice, during the
past week this paper has been gra-
ciously offered the opportunity of
using about five dollars worth of
space in return for about fifty cents
worth of "courtesies," and one Of the
Opportunities" was from two
million dollar concern. Perhaps that
is the way they got their two million
