FOR 4 PAINTING

An oil painting of Black Hawk s
Watch Tower by William Watson
of Paris is on exhibition at Abbott s
art gallery. 10 North wabash ave
lue, Chicago.
1t is painted with what critics
know as a Turner sunset and in the
transparent coloring OF the French
school, admired by Ruskin. the
famed critic. The artist visited
many cities in Illinois when trav-
cling through the middle west and
was particularly impressed by the
scenic beauties of Rock Island and
the immediate vicinity.
DIR. Watson studied under Bouge-
reau and Whistler, and had a studio
n Boulevard Haussman, Paris He
was induced to visit the United
States in 1908, at which time he
delivered a course of art lectures
under the direction OF the United
States government in the congress
sional library in Washington.
His life as a public lecturer be
came strenuous. He abandoned it
to become teacher of art in Bos-
ION and in 1909 was appointed CHIEF
instructor OF art at the state nor
nal school, Winona Lake, Ind.
His literary work as an author
and magazine writer has attracted
much attention in this country and
Europe. He is the author Of Men
tal Science, the Study of Artistic
Inspiration" published in 1911.

At Spencer SQUARE.

Tom Moore in Thirty a Week" is
at the Spencer Square theatre We'd
nesday and Thursday. Thompson
Buchanan wrote q play which would
provide the young star with an op-
portunity to be many things Most
of all, the plot permitted Tom
Moore to be the sort Of fellow he
is in real life. Light-heaTted, de-
bonair, not too heroic to be human,
he acts his way through his new
est Goldwyn picture in a way to
make spectators realize he is hav-
ing the time of his life He says,
in fact, that the part of Dan, the
thirty-a-week chauffeur, is the most
interesting he has ever had.
Other GoldWyn stars have played
parts OF a kind not usually 1850
cis.ted with them. For instance.
Mae Marsh was an oriental seeress
in Money Mad and Madge Ken
needy masqreraded as a notorious
crook in '"The Danger Game" But
in these Goldwyn pictures the re-
spective stars pretended to be what
they were not for only part of the
play. The audience knew they were
deceiving the people on the screen.
In this respect Tom Moore's "Thir-
ty a Week. is different. He begins
AS a chauffeur and remains one.
He is really the man behind the
wheel of the rich mans car. He
doesn't inherit a fortune in the end;
he doesn't catch thief robb1ng his
employer and earn a reward lie
only becomes his sOn-in-law! But
he still wears his chauffeur's uni
form.

tured and favored player.
When Rex Beach produced 1.-THE

in pictures. The debut of Will

Miss LAUREL who never has been

How Do They Do It?
Love and Sunshine

How can a young couple have the
nerve to get married in the face of
present prices? This is asked by
many anxious parents. who have Chi
dren of manageable age, and others,
who have celebrated their nth
anniversary.
Several local marriage experts were
taken into consultation, and the opln
ion was "love and sunshine.'
THAT is to say said one person
"a young couple getting married nov
does not take into consideration the
pessimistic side Of the years to come
but look only at the love and eternal
bliss they expect to experience
1T seems" said another, that when
the present generation gets old en-
ough to think of marriage. they have
eyes only for the rosy path, and over
look the pitfalls and obstacles that the
high cost of living will throw in thei,
way. Cupid with his little bow and
| arrow can turn any young girls OF
young mans heart
