which he would not hesitate to take
over some other social or literary gues
ton; and the theatre is both. It is in
deed discouraging when the very men
who should lead opinion in the matter,
go haphazard to the playhouse, bunting
their own perceptions, losing the good
that might be gained, and furnishing
very bad example to others.
Culture should guide us Alright to the
desirable play; conscience, not for mo-
ment blinded by artistic values or lit
erary excellencies, stimulating as they
are, must insist on the discrimination
between large, noble tragedy which
broadens sympathy, and that which is
merely devitalizing; between humor
that is clean, elevating and corrective,
and that which is low, cheap and ash

tempt TO defect the world as it is, and
such representations as constitute an
insidious arousal of the beast in man.
We can all act upon the principal as
individual theatregoers; and also in our
many associate and cooperative capaci-

numerous clubs.

Success in the Movies

Chastity" says a movie comedian,
is one of the essential qualities of sue
cess in the pictures these days. To be
successful ON the stage today an actor
must live a clean, moral life, otherwise
his personality will reflect his evil life
and repel people instead of attracting
them. I do not know why this is true,
but l know it is true. I can mention the
names of comedians who have been com
PEELED to retire from the stage because
of the immortality of their private lives.
The public today instinctively seems to
know whether man is good or bad,
right or wrong in his life. People seem to
have developed kind of uncanny sixth
sense about these things. The man who
leads an evil life and who has an evil
mind cannot make people laugh any
more. -

Based on Narrative by Thomas Burke
The episodes of "Broken Blossoms -
involve three persons-Battling Bur
rows, bully of the London slums; a
young Chinese priest named Cheng
Huan, who has come out of the Far East
to spread to the people the doctrine of
brotherly love, and Lucy, a girl of fif-
teen, who, when but a mere babe, was
thrust into the arms of Battling Bur
rows as a mere bundle of white rags
the gift of one of the Battler's girls.
The scenes are laid in the crooked
alleys of London's Limehouse district.
When he is drunk or out of temper,
the Battler, prize fighter, wreaks his
rage upon this piteous child. Her
starved, bruised little body creeps sor-
rowfully around the crooked alleys. Con
cefned with its own sins, Limehouse has
no time to bother about Lucy or her sor-
rows. As Lucy creeps down through the
shadow alleys there is one who looks
oAtci hVt WAbh q ooAp ol hoip
This plying heart belongs to the young
Chinaman. His highest hopes beaten
down, all that remains to him of beauty
and of light is his wistful, almost sacred
love for this helpless child who passes
by his store.
One day the Battler beats Lucy with
rather more cruelty than usual, and her
fainting, broken little figure staggers
weakly down the road and falls in
through the Chinaman 8 doorway. Ten
Derby he gathers the little one in his
arms and bears her upstairs to his lonely
room. There he battles her wounds
With a quaint fancy he dresses her in
wonderful old silken robes and tends her
with the sweet, pure generation that a
subject might bestow upon wounded
princess.
But there comes day when the prize
fighter bursts into the apartment and
wrecks it with murderous paws. Through
the cloar s...ss' Of London fog, you
can see The cringing little fguye being
dragged back to her doom. Some ter
rible instinct tells the child that this
beating will be the last. She tries TO
escape into a closet, but ruthless
Ratchet beats down the barrier.
The Chinaman comes too late to the
scene; he finds only a still, broken little
figure, her last lonely wistful smile still
on her dead lips. With deadly calm,
as one who performs an &C, Of holy
sacrifice, the young Bhuddist priest
gathers the pitiful figure in his arms and

Jurymen, etc, by themselves
The large audience present on Monday
evening expressed themselves vociferous-
ly, inasmuch as the present vehicle is a
well-construeted drama instead of a
mediocre melodrama. The thematic
tendency throughout would readily
bring to the mind the story of "Mad-
anne n" However, the author has dis
played unusual skill in holding the
audience tense and comprehensive of
the happy ending.
Miss Evelyn Ellis is truly an artist,
with splendid emotional powers. Her
ability TO sob audibly and 20 repress sor-
ow at times when il is feasible TO depict
joy is indeed an evidence of her we'll
controlled art. Mr.. Simmons gave very
fOrceful reading as the counsel for de-
defense. At times faulty diction was
evident, but with proper training this
may be easily corrected. Andrew s.
Bishop as the guhtsyy-c@.s:n l@ade an ex-
cellent picture from the front. His de-
fciency in emotion was cleverly covered
by the eloquent speeches at his disposal,
which is creditable TO the author. The
rapid reading at times destroyed the
sincerity of the artist, and the audience
is compelled 20 forget that the actor is
living the character and readily begin
to feel that he is only reading delightful
GRAFTON. A little more care along these
lines will improve the work of our favor
ed leading man. Miss Cleo Desmond is
an ideal blind mother. She struck the
sympathetic chord which was played up
on with the delicacy and touch of
finished artist. An excellent creation!
Charles Olden exemplifed the old friend
of Flambon. Arthur Ray was true
lover conscientious throughout. J. L.
Criner, Hayes Prior, Walter Robinson,
Carlotta Freeman together with the jury
men completed well balanced caste in
an exceedingly well fitted drama. One
of the best Monday night performances
recently witnessed at the above theatre.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Poultry-breeeding associations are
usually the outgrowth of pioneer work
In organizing boys and girls into poul-
try clubs or of repeated efforts to in
terest producers In better poultry
methods. In some instances, however,
leaders in communities have expressed
their desire to make an effort to es-
tablish for themselves business or
side line that will add to their in
comes as individuals and likewise in
crease the property of the commune
ty.
In such promising localities. the
first step in organization usually is
to get the support of local business
men. In small towns many business
men own farms and consequently are
interested in agriculture, which in
turn benefits the various lines of BUSH
ness. At the same time their assist
ance is helpful in financing the asso-
citation. In fact this is frequently ac-
complished by inducing, the business
mems association to, contribute suit
able fund for standardized stock
which is to be distributed among the
farmers who join the association. CO.
operation of that kind is usually OBJ
tanned easily If the business men are
shown the advantages of the organiza-
ton and how the increased prosperity
eventually will benefit them.
Another plan that has proved to be
satisfactory in Overton county, Tenn,
is direct financial assistance from the
banks. In this case the banks adj
vanced $1,000 to be invested in breed
ing pens through the cooperation Of
the poultry club agent and the county
agricultural agent. Each pen consist
ed of ten hens or pullets and male
bird which cost on an average $3.50 a
bird. The pens were placed with club
members in the various communities.
Each person who received pen guar
anteed to return, after the first year,
20 fowls in payment for the original
ten hens or pullets furnished him.
Those 20 standardized fowls, together
with two selected male birds, were d.
vided into two pens and the next year
