that there were more plays like s'The Bra"
and more film stars like Nazimova so that
the public and humanity in general might
better understand the inner workings of
life.
Nazimova, being clever herself, naturally
has only clever people about her, and,
therefore. she had splendid support. Chas.
Bryant as Mac MILAN Forester, her lead
ing man, was all that could be desired.
Robert Farrell as Stephen, his brother;
Amy Vanesse as his mother and Bonnie
Hill as his fiancee, also come in for share
of praise in recognition of the splendid way
they handled their respective parts. And
lastly, let us also remember Henry Prior,
the stage hand, for he also was human
sort that we all like.
1t would be superAuous, we suppose, 10
add that Nazimova is a physical culturist,
but as matter of fact it stands out very
prominently in her acting. ''The Brat
is winner and Nazimova will jockey it to
success. Well say so, anyhow.
This is not the first time this season that
Mr.. and Mrs. Bolls have thought of US.
Remember that war picture, "Adele'' that
we saw February 26, 1912 Well, they
were responsible for that also, and once
again we thank them.
Mr.. D. sang song entitled, "The
Heart Breaking Baby DOLL" but it did not
get over properly as we were all too inter-
ested in the picture. Mr. D. would have
Jared better had he selected night when
we did not have such splendid picture.
But never. the-less Mr.. D. sang well and
we appreciate his efforts. The orchestra
also contributed some very lively numbers
which were fully appreciated by all.

the quantity of information which he can
absorb and the special quality of the know
ledge which can be found in the facts.
''The i'll effects Of TWO much knowledge,
as it is now being thrust upon US from day
school. night school, college and correspon-
dence school,, appear none the less marked
ly in its tendency to choke the sources oi
creative work. When ideas clog the mind,
impulses tend to loosen and lapse. When
a thousand possibilities are disclosed 10
books, the will has no idea which course to
pursue. When the emotions are analyzed,
one does not know when to laugh, when to
cry. The spontaneity of mind, the Gre
ative impulse, which is the best of all hu-
man possessions, suffers more from excess
of ideas in the brain than from any other
disastrous cause.

Motion Picture Show

Through the courtesy and thoughtful
ness of Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Bolls,
ow4ers, respectively of the Majestic and
Hilltop theatres at Saltwater, we were per-
mitted an agreeable hour and forty-fve
minutes of unalIoyed pleasure, witnessing
one of the finest screen plays that has ever
been shown on our silver sheet, or any other
for that matter. Mr.. and Mrs. Bolls had
booked the attraction for their Saltwater
patrons and they very considerably thought
of US and arranged their schedule of affairs
SO that we might see the play also. To
say that it was appreciated would be mild
way of expressing our gratitude to them.
The picture was a seven reel Metro
release, entitled "The Brat featuring
that peerless, imperative star of flmdom.
Nazimova. How she does it is wonderful.
But there is something captivating, some
thing intangible, something indescribable,
about this star that charms and entertains.
And what knowledge of human nature
she must have in order to so carefully por-
tray the lives of those characters she
represents.
A cleaner plot was never Matched, nor a
more interesting story ever told, than that
.of "The Brat" True to life in every
particular the play is one that takes you by
storm. as it were, causes you to wonder
why other stars and near-stars do not make
a study of "The Brat and gain a little
knowledge for future reference thereby.
The story of ''The Brat" is one of
every day occurrence, and needs no review
or synopsis to acquaint you with its moral.
Even if the sub titles and headings were
omitted Nazimova would have brought the
plot out in such a distinct way that you
would have instantly grasped its meaning.
The scenes ard settings were beautiful be-
yond description and only served to accen-
'tuate the original and elemental. Would

pitcher for pass on balls and he steals
second on the first ball delivered. Hick,
who was at bat, connected safely for his Sc
cond hit in the game and scored brad. Jam.
and Lohr went out by the strike out route.
In the sixth frame the visitors make their
second count. Cahlander the fist man up
made half dozen foul tips, one of which
should have been an easy out for either
Wells or Jam. Both made run for 1t, af-
ter both were nearly under it they stopped
and let it drop safely to the earth. With
the next ball delivered Cahlander drove it
out to center field for three stations. He
then scored on Hollands sacrifice. Strong
was thrown out, Iverson to Hick, and An
derson went out on fly to Bud. The To-
Gals were retired in order in this frame and
they were able with the jumps eagle eye to
hold the visitors scoreless in the seventh.
With two men out Fuhrman drove. one
down the first base line that bounded across
the street and rolled up to the twine factory.
1t was good for home run but Thurman
failed to touch first base and the jumps by
having his eye on the runner saw the act as
we'll as the first -baseman and as soon as the
ball was relayed to that station the batter
was called out. This retired the side and
when the locals came to bat they scored
once more. Burn, the first man up lifted
a Texas Lacquer to the left field foul line
for three stations and he scored on Brad's
sacrifice. Eros struck out. Hick drove
one out into right field for three bagger.
Hick. in trying to score on Jams unsuc-
cessful bunt was thrown out. Anderson to
Shoemaker. This ended the locals scoring
and the game now stood 5>to in their ia
vor with two more innings to play. The
Visitors came from behind in these two in
nings and won the game. By the visitors
in the eighth getting base on an error and
base on balls aided with single and a
three base hit three scores came home and
tied the score. And in the ninth frame
they were allowed to get the winning score
on two base hit, wild throw and a sac
riice fly. The visitors were composed of
the most hardy batsmen that have crossed
bats with the locals this season. Five of
their ten hits made were for additional
bases, three of them for three stations and
one of them coming when the bases were
loaded.
Hicks batting for the locals and Brad's
base stealing were the main features in the
locals offensive work. Anderson, the
twirler for the visitors had a very busy day
He struck out eight men and allowed seven
hits. In his defensive work he got five as
sists, two put-outs and is charged with one
error. Out of four times to bat he gets
two hits.
Wells, the local pitcher, was hit quite
freely, and at times numerically hard. He
allowed ten safe hits, struck out four men
and passed one on balls.

Backward, Turn Backward

I'd like to be boy again, a care-free
prince of Joy again.
I'd like to tread the hills and dales the
way used to do;
I'd like the tattered shirt again., the knickers
thick with dirt again,
The ugly, dusty feet again that long
ago l knew.
I'd like to play first base again, and Silver's
curves to face again,
I'd like to climb the way l did, a
friendly apple tree.
For knowing what do today, could but
wander back and play,
I'd get full measure of the Joy that
boyhood gave to me.
I'd like to be lad again, youngster, wild
and glad again,
I'd like to sleep and eat again the way
1 used to do,
I'd like to race and run again, and drain
from life its fun again
And start another round OF JOY the mo-
ment one was through.

Chasten the valleys halcyon sleep.

In slumber's darkling calm repines,

Through temples holy transom streams.
Where, rat in adoration's prayer,
Kneels some vesper votary there.

Sweet ecstacies of Love condole.

To An Old Lady IN a
Train

Her hair was beautifully white
Beneath her bonnet, black as night,
Which, plainly of New England kin,
Was lied with strings beneath her chin
And when she spoke had no choice
But listened TO that soft crisp voice:
And when she smiled, I saw the truth,
She had been lovely in her youth,
And with those quick, observing eyes.
Was charming still to all the wise.
And still, in spite of bonnet strings,
She thought keen. quaint, amusing things,
With gaiety that many hold
Remarkable in one so old.
We talked ten minutes in train,
And when we came to part again,
sGood-by. enjoy yourself" said she.
told her that ahead of me
No pleasure beckoned, no, / said,
Stern duty only lay ahead!
"Oh, WE'LL" her parting answer ran.
Enjoy yourself the hest yon can"
And so unconquerably gay,
She went upon her darkening way.

The Kings Hiehway

Time was we heard the call of the road
When we were young and gay,
and my Love from our own abode
Out to the Kings Highway.
We smelt the smell of the may in bloom
And the miles of the scented hay
When the greensward broke into flush and
foam
Out on the Kings Highway.
We heard the sound of the feeding kline
When dews ran silver and gray,
The sweets of the night were better than
wine
Out on the Kings Highway.
Now he has taken the road alone
And have no heart to stay:
l would that with my Love were gone
Out on the Kings Highway.

A benediction ringingb
Round the old farm place.
