Pay. to ee s.r,,ob..


There's a satisfaction in living up to
-FOUR obligations. Only the man who
consistently meets his bills can look
the world In the face without either
feeling shame or acting the lie. It
makes fellow step with irmer tread
when he knows that he has done his
best and that no one can call him a
Stacker or point toward him the finger
OF scorn. Sometimes he may feel bur
dened by this constant living up to
ideals when others don't, but the load
will soon become one Of satisfaction
as conscience declares approval. You
can't do better than live up to your
sense Of obligatlon.-Grit.

water turned the old moss-covered wheel

the bags that were piled upon the wooden
floor. And just outside stood a weeping
willow tree, and every morning a little
woman came and put her baby in a
cradle on one of the boughs. It was
the "rock-a-by baby upon the tree-top,

to the village and work, and at noon
times she would come back to feed him
and when evening came she would take
down the cradle and dance him up and

SOCIETY WOMAN is MOVIE ACTRESS
Fep More Words About Merry Farce

Mrs. Morgan Belmont, one Of the most
prominent of the younger society ma
irons, has announced her intention of
becoming a motion picture actress.
She has signed a contract and will go
west to make Ter first appearance soon.
Before her marriage Mrs. Belmont was
Miss Margaret #. Andrews, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Andrews of New

JUST 4 FEW MORE
WORDS ABOUT A FARCE.
AS good as the play was on the stage,
and as we saw it at the Murat last fall.
That is the screen version of "Parlor,
bedroom and Bath" by c. W. Bell and
Marx Swan, which is now at the Ohio.
In addition, we might say that the
cast is much better for this play than
the legitimate stage boosted in Indian
apoHs.
The play is not radically ALTERED; the
characters remain as the author first
intended them to be.
And the whole plot of the story IS
the same.
Reggie makes the same "bonehead :
mistakes that he made on The stage.
In fact, we believe that this city ap-
preciated a play of this type better when
displayed through the medium of the
photoplays.
It's more Objectionable lines, at least
those which shocked the middle west, are
eliminated, and all the situations, due
to the censorship of the films, are less
glazing and therefore more appreciable
than on the stage.
"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath is a farce
ON married life and deals with the ef-
forts of Reggie Irving to make his wife
believe that he is a devil with the
ladies'
His actions are just the opposite OF
what would be expected of 4 normal
young man, and his wife is just as ex-
ceptional.
As a photoplay, "Parlor, Bedroom and
bath" ranks high in the list of farces.

chief feminine role.
