Christmas Celebration

tory and we are about to glide out on the
end gear of the year and jump into the
harness of the new.
| Christmas was well spent under the cir
cumstances. Ideal weather with snow
capped foliage and grounds gave pictur-
esque and tuneful spirit of Christmas time
that permeated throughout the whole at
mosphere inside and outside and which,
all combined, charged us with high spirit
in well enjoying everything that came our
way.
After the good times of leisure hour
or so of individual freedom, personal
fluctuations and Christmas greetings as
we paced to and fro in the massive hall
ways, we assembled at the auditorium to
view the movies.
The first to be flashed upon the screen,
"The Widows Might" was Paramount
Famous Players production of five reels
featuring Julian Eltinge as the star.
The play can be said to be delightful
concoction of a story made applicable to
the Christmas spirit as it centered main
ly and abounded in lines of vivid inter-
pretations of child love and the affections
bestowed in forms that pounds heart beats
and brings home only too forcibly the
feelings that within us, create self-denial,
faith, hope, charity and the greatest of
all, love. The play was exceptionally
good, in that it was devoid of excess, to
flood the emotions, and elegantly set and
blended to admit of humorous make up
and passages to present it as triumph
of morals building in theatrical art
The kid in the play is whole show in
itself, and another one, for foundling i
would be hard to imagine could have
been picked out for the part, to better
exemplify babe creation and innocence,
as emenating from the poorer strata of
life. No discredit to the kid. To the
contrary, it was barnstomer for getting
attentions, caresses and fodder, that we
have known better looking ones passed
up for such volume of merited praise.
Julian Eltinge made an impersonator of
the lady divine, as true to contour and
facial adornment as is possible anywhere,
and all he needed to do at that, was to
slip on the wig and wrap and he sure
was what you would term a good locker.
All other parts being necessary and equal
ly well presented, the star with his sup
porters and particularly the kid, make it
a play for high bid of approval and
patronage and undoubtedly gets it. Fol-
lowing, was a two reel Mack Sennett
production viz: "Love Loops the Loop"
Amid a varigated course of some good
we'll functioned acts to create more fun,
these fine players seem never to, exhaust
in producing something new and novel.
The principal hits on this occasion, are
new "styles of tobogganing," the 'balky
Aiver," and some "lobster" that seems
possessed of human instinct to defy power
of human imagination that it could put up
such a delectable stunt, but it does and
there you are. Well, it was all good.
The show as whole, good Intellectual
ly plenty of fun, wholesome entertain
ment, the orchestra played some very fine
music, after which we filed out, and then
filed in-this time to the dining hall,
where we were all served sumptuous
repast that seemed to tax our ability to
handle it, but we did, and it was some
dinner. The appended menu below tells
the whole story. The rest of the day was
taken up with letter writing to home folks
and friends, reading everything pertain
ing to Christmas, and as night shades
enveloped US in the close of this truly
happy Christmas.
