VARSITY CHAMPS
ARE0N BIG TRIP

Grand Forks, N: D., Nov. 20.-Mem-
bers of the Flickertail championship
team were given surprise Wednesday
: when Coach Davis informed them that
they would not meet jamestown col
lege eleven on Thanksgiving day. In
stead, the coach will take the team to
Gary, Ind, where they will meet Wax,
paraiso university. ,,,. -. a-.-s5.'1
The team left Thursday night for
Milwaukee, where it meets Marquette
university on Saturday. From there
the team will go to Chicago and train
until Wednesday. They will not re-
turn home until Monday, Nov. 29.
Twenty men accompanied the coach.
All are in excellent condition with the
exception of Movius, who hasn't fully
recovered from sprained ankle re-
ceived in the Aggie game at Fargo.
Walter Burkman, who would posi-
bly, have developed into the greatest
backfeld man in the state this year
had not early season injuries kept
him out of the seasons best games,
will be back in uniform and start at
fullback position. Conny, the little
fighting Mick, will be back at right
half, and Mckay, who has been, the
most consistent ground gamer for the
champions and the best performing
back in the state this year, will be at
left half, Robertson will be at quar1
ter.
Both Marquette and Valparaiso have
the best teams that they have ever
had, and Davis states that he will be
satisfied to hold them to low score.
Valparaiso held Harvard to . 0 to 0
tie for three quarters early in the sea-
son and then weakened and gave Har-
ward a victory. This indicates that
the Flicker champs will have to. cut
loose with everything that they have
in stock to push over victory on the
Hoosier outfit.
But a win, lose or draw in the re-
naming two games will not deprive
Davis eleven of the fact that this
years team has been one Of the best
fighting and most consistent winners
that has ever represented the UMiver-
sity Of North. Dakota.
A lot of time. has been spent the
past three weeks on Busdicker, Njaa
and Ted Allen. All three freshmen
show promise for the varsity in 1921.
Busdicker will no >doubt hold down
center of next years team. Captain
Hanson, this years center. viii be lost
by graduation day. James Cassell and
Frank Richards viii also be lost when
they receive their diplomas in June.
While at Gary, the team will be
taken through the steel plant before
they are brought home. The trpi is
expected tn reward the p1AvcFs for
their faithful training all season.

Mrs. B. L. Cheney was the victim
of genuine surprise perpetrated upon
her last night in the .parlors of the M.
E. church by the Dorcas society. Her
husband was very able accomplice
in getting her to the church. He
claimed that he had left his fountain
pen at the church and wanted to get
it and asked Mrs. Cheney to go
along-few people know whether E.
l.. ever goes to church. but, we will
take his word for it-anyhow he got
his wife down into those parlors and
there she was greeted by the bunch
who were giving this surprise party.
After the first astonished greetings
had been given the party settled down
to having a mighty good time to-
gether playing various games, etc. A
fine "feed" was served and enjoyed by
those present. As token of the es-
TEEN in which Mrs. Cheney is held by
her friends she was presented with
a beautiful nut bowl. Mrs. Cheney
expects to leave Valley City the last
of the week tnd to spend the winter
with relatives and friends in Michi-
gan. :. 45s .z> y SraeF saesTI'gs$s, u II 9.

PROCLAMATION

No more cherished heirloom has
been handed down to succeeding gen.
erations than the beautiful, time-hal-
lowed custom of observing in each
year day devoted to thanksgiving
and prayer. So general and popular is
this observance that both our state
and national laws require that such a
day be set aside as legal holiday. 1t
81 specially fitting that this occur
during the harvest season. after the
crops are garnered, and when all ma
ture takes on its beautiful autumn col
orings. a .,a. ~
North Dakota has much for which
to thank kind and bene6cient Provi-
dence No destructive nalady has
invaded our homes or threatened the
public health within the year. Our
country is at peace, and the dark
clopds Of war have vanished. Truly
the defenders Of democracy "have
beaten their swords into plow-shares,
and their spears into pruning hooks"
God grant that justice and righteous
ness be established and maintained
throughout the earth that peace and
harmony may prevail.
With thankful hearts and reverent
spirit we again approach the season
when thanks and prayer are wont to
be offered. Therefore in accordance
with the requirements of the statutes
and in order that the wishes of the
grateful people be officially manifest
ed, hereby set aside and name Thurs
day, November Is, 1920,
A DAY OF THANKSGIVING AND
PRAYER
and call upon all the people to lay
aside their accustomed tasks and bus
mess, and to gather in their homes and
places of worship to return thanks to
God for the many blessings
we enjoy and to invoke divine guild
ance and leadership in the days to
come. And I further urge that we
evidence our appreciation Of the good
things vouchsafed us by cooperating
in this season with all up lifting, hu-
agencies such as the Red
Cross, Near East Relief, The Saliva
tion Army and other religious and
charitable organizations, thus exem
plifying the true spirit of Thanksgiv
ing Day.

State House at Bismarck on the 10th

CLYDE COOK IS COMEDIAN o F
 DIFFERENT TYPE

From all parts of the country come enthusiastic reports anent the film comedy fields newest invader, one Clyde Cook. Cook convulsed audi ences for a season at New York's big Hippodrome-where William Fox signed him for a. series of films to be known as Clyde Cook Special Comedies. Only two of the series have been shown yet, but Cook s fame already is spreading like wild fire.
 Various reasons are ascribed for the instantaneous success of this player, and for the eager way in which his first offering was snapped up; the principal reason being that Cook got comedy by methods here tofora unused by any Of the big fun makers of the screen Cook possess es an uncanny gift of contortionism, and possibly works faster than any other living comedian. The result is a series of side-splitting antics so novel, so original and so fast that q gale of laughter follows every foot of the film

PLAZA.

Distinctly refreshing is "The Brute Master" the J. Parker Read, Jr., flea ture, starring Hobart Bosworth. which entertained huge audiences at the Plaza theatre, yesterday. "The Brute Master" is strong and virile, just the sort of story in which mo- ton picture devotees like this splen- did "he-man" actor best. It fits the rugged personality of the man as well as all stories should fit the star ap- bearing in them-but seldom do. Az ''Bucko McA11ister,' the giant Scotch rule the seas, Hobart Bosworth does of his career. The characterization CT of environment and circumstance over the lives and minds of men. Miss Anna Q. Nilsson heads the cast in sup port of the star.
 Farrell Taylor and Co. present a comedy scream, 'The African Duke" The comedy is excellent, beng handled by veterans and various musical i'm struments consisting of a harp, trom- bone, accordion, clarinet, and each is well played. Harry Sykes with songs and stories, scored a hit Donald son and Van, a man and woman III songs, music and comedy were favor ites. Homer Romaine was easily a success. One of the best comedies seen in Bridgeport this year is "Non- sense'' by the Mermaid company. There are at least two hundred laughs in it International News completed the show.

Judge not, that ye be not judged!' Or words to that errecu. That's the advice and request of Miss Wanda Hawley, the clever young star.
 "Do you know, it's a dreadful han dicap to have fluffy blonde hair,' conflded the actress to an enterpris- ing interviewer who sought her out at the Realart studios, in Hollywood, where she is engaged in the filming Of a new picture play.
 ''Whatdy mean, handicap?' stut-: tered the interviewer, trying not to stre too boldly and admirably at the blonde tresses of the little star lady.
 .'WeIl,'' explained Miss HawIey pensively, eff your hair is light, and fluffy, no matter how serious you really are by nature and inclination, nobody takes you seriously. They think you must have a light, fluffy soul, and light, fluffy mind. They never credit you with one single solemn thought, nor one single Seri- ouS aspiration.
 T really think blondes are the most misunderstood class in the world. Everybody thinks our ob. amuse and be amused We are con sidered a sort of animated doll, the kind of person to decorate a musical comedy or a revue, but never the cussions with.''
 Pm tremendously interested in woman's place in the world today. Do you know, the motion picture field is the only one in which wo- mans place, from the first, was the equal of mans? Indeed, I am not sure that women stars did not win a place for themselves in the hearts l of the theatre-goIng public before the male stars did. We all know, o1
 course, that on the regular stage
 men players for generations took all the feminine roles, so that it was a l Irr1 of fT-JJT TNIl stars to be able to get into the game | at the very beginning, I think 'NThen, besides, women's place in | the world of art, industry and edu' | cation, I am interested in-- Miss Haw1ey,'' interrupted the in- terviewer weakly, you have a very active mind and very wide interests

Miss Helen Gardner, screen star, who possesses the enviable and unique distinction of, having brains as well as beauty of high order, has recent ly returned to her home in this city after q most successful appearance at the Motion Picture Exhibition at Atlanta, Ga. Miss Gardner has but lately been engaged in the production of ''The Devils AngeP' and has made a number of personal appearances in Pennsylvania scoring triumphs where ever she appeared
 Seldom has an actress been given such social recognition as that ac- corded Miss Gardner during her stay in Atlanta. On the evening of her arrival she was the guest of honor at a dinner party at the Georgian Ter race Hotel where she was a guest, and was also entertained at a tea given at the clubhouse of the Daugh
 ters of the Confederacy. Mrs. John Albert Perdue, as head of this organ ization, was the hostess for the after noon and in response to her greeting, Miss Gardner made q graceful speech which thoroughly impressed and cap tivated the members who were privi- legged to attend the tea. One of the most pleasing compliments Miss Gard ner received was that she was so dem ocratic she was beloved by all alike.
 One of the most memorable events of the Atlanta trip was visit to the federal prison and for which special permission to visit Eugene Debs, the Socialist leader, was granted MISS Gardner. Of this prison Miss Gard ner said, "It is wonderful place and very different from what one would suppose it to be. It represents the very last word in the development of penal institutions. The memory of my half hour visit with Eugene DebS is one which I will always treasure. I gave an autographed photograph to MT. Debs and as he took it and read the sentiment which I had inscribed on the back he said, If a rich man were to give me half his wealth, I should feel impoverished, but the
 beauty of this sentiment will enrich me for all time.'"
 Miss Gardner was the most popu- | lar star at the motion picture exhibi- | ton where she addressed large audi | ences twice a day. She is free from | the artiiciality of the average star | who, while she may possess beauty, | has not the intelligence to see that
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-12-24

the ability to be absolutely natural is the greatest asset a star can possess.
 When Miss Gardner started out on her personal appearance tour she felt that there was an invisible barrier between herself and the audiences, that she could neither get over to them nor would they come over to her. Later she said that she had dis covered the secret of getting in touch with the audience to be perfect nat uralness on her part and a. faith in the audience that they were with her. When she disclosed this secret to the audience they showed clearly that she had hit on the right solution, for the applause was spontaneous and pro- 1onged.
 Miss Gardner has found during these personal appearances that a cut and dried speech falls very flat, and she has made her greatest hit be- cause she speaks wholly without pre- paration. One of the biggest suc- she asked her audience to give her subjects.
 The Clark Cornelius Company.
 which controls the state rights for ''The Devils Angel" has booked Miss Gardner very heavily for a success sion of personal appearances in Penn sylvania. New York state and in the New England states. It is to be and so much of favorite did Miss Gardner become in Atlanta that they begged her to cancel all her northern bookings and come south to tour Geor-
 gia and several other states, includ- ing Palm Beach and St. Augustine, Fla.
 In spite of the compliments show | cred upon her, the constant round of entertainments. the crowd at the At lanta station to bid her good luck on her journey, Miss Gardner returned as fresh and unspoiled by adulation as when she left. Perhaps her great | est charm is her unstudied natural ness, and she shows herself well aware of the truism that it is a wise head that will not permit itself to be turned by compliments or fattery. l Miss Gardner is spending the l Christmas holidays with her mother | at her home on Mill Hill avenue {, previous to starting on a trip through | all the leading cities of Pennsylvania. | opening in Philadelphia on January 10.

 There are still a few opportunities in which to see that wonderfully clever production "Come Seven" With the entire cast in blackface and an added attraction in the form of Mabel Whitman and her dancing picks, who literally bring down the house at every appearance there is nothing lacking to make the show one that is worth going long way to see.
