command OF pathos and the gentler
elements OF romantic comedy that is
as comprehensive and as appealing as
David Warfeld's and a homely sin
cerity that recalls Joseph Jefferson
Denman Thompson and James A.
Herne at their best. As a brilliantly
comic co-star on the exceptional bill,
Harold Lloyd inspires laughter In his
latest and most original two-reel
farce, High and Dizzy"
"Jes' Call Me jim" is a photodrama
based upon a theme as beautiful as
the natural grandeurs of California
that form its picturesque background
1t reveals upon the silver sheet a
story Of bashful love, unhesitating
sacrifice and unwavering friendship
Jim Fenton rescued Paul Benedic,
from the clutches of the big man
Of Seven Oaks because he perceived
that to be the wish OF the village
belle whom he loved as he thought
| futilely from afar. He outwitted the
| town Croecus because his devotion to
| Benedict was genuine and his love OF
justice assertive. He cared tenderly
| for Paurs little son because his
heart was as big and as tender as a
| woman's.
Such was the character Of the man
! visualized with rugged humor and
superb naturalness by Will Rogers
! whose forte heretofore has been
| deemed merely vocal wit. Rogers
has as complete a grasp Of the rudi-
| ments Of real characterization and
the subtleties of mimetic expression
as the finest actor on the screen. His
work in the title role OF "Jes' Call Me
| Jim" is enough to place him in the
van of hose who are bringing real
American drama before the camera.
AS usual Harold Lloyd displays a
| bag OF new tricks in High and Diz
| zy:" absurdities of action that can
not be given even approximate value
| in type but must be seen to be ade'
| quately laughed at. A new issue oi
| the Pathe News and an especial!
pithy selection Of witticisms from the
nations press released as "Topics OF
the Day" complete the pictorial por
tions of a bill of extraordinary meri
that Is effectively rounded out by the
tuneful contributions OF the Metro
politan orchestra under the direction
Of Mr. Amedeo Nioni.

one who has seen II that II isn't the
funniest farce Lloyd has ever made
with characteristic originality. the

complications and quick succession
OF ridiculous episodes that carry a
coherent story through breezy de-

Fair and Warmer" that anti-pro-
hibition day farce. hilarious, clever
and amusing. kept an audience At the
Garrick on it's toes all last evening.
There were two new faces In the cast
and their work was OF such a caliber
as TO aid materially In making the
play really a success, quite on par
with any production company Aided
and abetted by the old favorites, who
have been here since early In the
season. the farce went speedily and
without a hitch.
The. story may be familiar with
many plsygoers, but II won't hurt 10
give a little resume OF the farce. Mr..
and Mrs. Bartlett are miscast In the
play OF marriage. The husband wants
to go to bed at 8 o'clock, and the wife
wants a continual round OF pleasure

mousey. stay-at-home type, while her
husband wants to CAD around a Dit.
different shutting OF the cards by
the dealer who stacks the deck in the
marriage game might have hitched
the two couples differently, but then
the farce would never have been
written.
Jack Wheeler is of for an evening
with the boys. while Mrs. Bartlett Is
bound for the opera with Philip
Evans. an old fame OF hers.
Billy Bartlett has been too good to
his wife, too steady and home-likc,
and she announces to him that she Is
soon to seek her freedom. With this
for a start, the two families get to-
gether. And then the fun began. Mr..
Bartlett and Mrs. Wheeler decide that
they will show their respective
spouses that they can play the same
game, and the two innocents plan to
get compromised.
Finding II hard to stay awake. they
concoct a wondrous cocktail, missing
nothing in the long list OF drinkables.
The result is inevitable. and they get
very, very happy" The respective
spouses return. and find them SO. and
the remainder Of the play is devoted
to explanations that. happily. leave all
in loving mood.
The brunt OF the work is done by
the two new players. Clarke Silver
nail as Billy Bartlett. and Nell Barnes
as Mrs Wheeler. Silvernail and Miss
Barnes were both excellent in their
parts. and the thoroughly natural
way in which they played the part OF

commended for the two beautiful sets

"Oh, dear!'' this came from the corner Of the cupboard. It was from a cracked Haviland china bowl. What is the mat ter?" asked a big plate. "Oh, dear I used to be in that beautiful, beautiful china closet, but when I got cracked, Hannah the maid, put me in this old common cupboard. I used to have such good times" said the bowl again.
 One day when Hannah was putting the best dishes away in the china closet. she took the bowl and put it in the china closet, too. Myi how proud and glad the bowl was. When the mistress was look ing over her best dishes. she ran across the bowl. and said. "Oh, Hannah I won der how this old bowl got put in here, '' and she took it out.
 That day man came to the door and asked if they had any old china that was cracked and that they wanted mend ed. Hannah gave him the bowl He nlended it and one could never tell where it had been cracked.
 Then Hannah took 1t to her mistress and she said that Hannah could put it in the china closet Whenever the children got candy, they would always put it in the bowl. My; how happy and glad the bowl was now.

Joan of Arc.

My favorite heroine in all history is Joan of Arc. The name alone brings a rush of feeling-of reverence. of love It
 is true she belongs to Frances and yet she belongs to the world, for her mem ory is sacred in every land.
 The story of Joan is as wonderful as a fairy tale. I remember when I first
 read it I thought it was a fairy tale
 but when I learned it was true it became
 more wonderful than ever.
 Joan was Q peasant girl. She was
 simple and true. She mad a great relig-
 ious faith, and at the age of thirteen. had her first vision. At that time, France
 was in great trouble so when Joan re- ceived her first message from heaven she lost no time in carrying it out Did she want to do this thing more than any thing else? No, but that did not stor her She was told to lead the armies ot France and she obeyed. It was hard work to gain nernlission to do this, but she never faltered, and finally her wish was granted.
 The next chapter of her life was one of success and triumph. It was during this period that Charles VII was crown ed king.
 Now comes the tragic ending Joan against her will (for she wanted to re. turn home) still led the French forces and was finally captured. After an un. just trial she was condemned to die al the stake. She was burned at Rouer when she was twenty years old. Was she not Q true young heroine 2 can die, but will continue to live in the hearts of people, the world over, forever CATHERINE c. HAYES, Age 14. Norwich.
