Game Part of Nations Life.

It is this constantly changing pic
: ture of personnel. playing ability and
combat, tempered with the sentiment
and traditions of base ball that has
established the sport so firmly
. throughout the nation. Old stars may
d fade. youthful phenomenons leap TO
the zenith in their places, and ciuo
. owners come and go with little eject
upon the popularity of the game. For
many years base ball has held it's own
through prosperous and depressing
seasons because it is base ball ana

Brooklyn at Boston. New York at

What effect, il any, this will have
upon the pennant races Is uncertain

nage about the picture for every scene

cated by the story. Zane Grey, who
wrote the novel "The Light of West
Aern Stars" lives in California, and
fright across the line in Arizona he got
much of the inspiration that has been
responsible for his stories. Little won
der then that his works smack of the
sage brush and the rugged canyons.
It was Of this country that the story
WAS written, and here the living
scenes were shot. Sixteen weeks were
consumed in the making of the pic
ture, and hundreds of miles were trav-
.eled in making the picture come up
to the ideals of the producer. This
photoplay can truthfully be said to be
nearer a replica of the West than al
most any other picture that has ever
been filmed.

In the c. E. Hutchinson class play
to be given at the Grand opera house
on June 8, the part of DR.. Freemantle
will be taken by Forrest Knight.
Fuzzy" knight portrays this part
excellently as he has the pep and the
snap necessary for the part of live
wire English doctor. Fuzzy" has
shown his ability in former plays. His
blackface part in last years play,
THE Time of His Life" shows his
histrionic ability.
DIR. Freemantle is the family physi-
clan and friend of the Wetherells, the
English family of royalty, the Ban
tocks. His steadfastness and friend
ship toward these people is a great
factor in the outcome of the play,
Fanny and the Servant Problem"
DR.. Freemantle is a pleasant char.
acter to watch and a more pleasing
one to hear.

HATE COLD BATHS.
Euglishmen Back from the War Now
Prefer Warm Water.

London, May 3,-That British fetish
the cold bath, has lost its attractions for
many soldiers who have returned from
France. The occasional baths they got
in rest billets during the war were hot,
and they soon acquired the hot bath hab-
it along with dstsste for cold water
One soldier who used to be cold bath
enthusiast says:
my experiments with cold baths since
returning from the front have made me
wonder whether the cold bath habit is
not really a pernicious fad, and to con
clude that / survived it only because
was broken into it when very young and
resilient
THE first cold bath | had at home
gave me the blues all day; the next
gave me a stiff neck in addition, and the
third day developed rheumatism. They
say that the British are class three
nation physically. I wonder whether
cold baths have anything TO do with it. Z
Wives and domestic servants are said
TO be opposed to the new hot bath habit
of the returned soldiers. Hot baths mean
the consumption of more coal and re-
quire more work in preparation.
