greatest actors in America, many say the world. and predict that he in time will become the greatest actor the stage has ever known. This is the actor wno will be seen this week at the Strand in one of the most famous dramas of the world, "Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde"
 One critic said of his performances:
 The dual role of the scientist and the Nemesis of his own creating is one to test the talents of the greatest mas ters of acting. Happily for the screen it has fallen to an actor who measures up to the full task to embody the two characters in the Paramount-Ar production. By it's selection of John Barryniore the Famous Players-Lasky Company has guaranteed the moving pie ture public the services of the foremost tragic actor of this country in part that allows him to be seen at his best All the intellectual force, glow of imagl- nation and command of the preternat- ural that are Barrymore's to such an unusual degree find complete express sion in .Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. 7"

Saving on Meat

From the Thrift Magazine.
 A New York settlement worker recently found that 96 per cent of the poor fam flies in New York city whom she visited purchased a larger amount of meat than is needed in well-balanced ration and that 40 per cent purchased a smaller amount of milk than is desirable.
 Meat is one of the most expensive items in the food bill of the ordinary family, and for this reason it is impor- tant that those of moderate means should eat as little meat as possible, using as a substitute vegetables and the cheaper fruits.

A1 OMORROW Birmingham will witness the initial appearance here of John Barrymore, the most popular and talented actor in America today, in his superb portrayal of the dual role of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" the picturiZed yer sion of Robert Louis Stevenson's great classic.
 In "The Jest," which MT. Barrymore and his brother, Lionel Barrymore, have immortalized, Mr. Barrymore was declared to be "a second Booth" and his talents, his technique and his mentality have been given full play in 'Dr. Jekyl and MT. Hyde" just as he had the oppor- tunity in "The Jest"
 With his suavity, his finesse and his exquisite art Mr. Barrymores superb conception of the philanthropic, kindly physician, is saturated with an intellectual poise that is unexcelled and his characterization of the cunning and de- prayed MT. Hyde is study in subtle art and mental achievement, these being the enco- miums heaped upon him by the great critics

Music Did the Work.

Cupid has Communicated music as
an effective aid in rcconcling estrang-
cd couples. From st. Louis comes the
story of the making up to the strains OF
a monograph of a physician and his
wife who were divorced last autumn
The father was given the custody OF
the children with the understanding
that their mother was to see them a
stated intervals in music store OF
which the physician was part owner.
While the mother was visiting her
children in the music store recently
the father came in. Instantly the
thought came to his partner that hero
was an opportunity to attempt re-
concIllatlon. He put on a phonopraph
the record of a plaintive song to thu
effect that the singer realized what i.
meant to be lonesome. The effect was
Immediate. The doctor and his wife
patched up their differences and were
remarked. Among the presents a
their second wedding was the recorc
with which Cupid effected their rec.
Onciliation.

Baseball Notes.

Last Thursday Brunswick defeated
the Shepherdstown baseball team BY
a score of 3 to I. An experimental
lineup proved the undoing of the
local team, and il was regrettable,
since K. McKee's pitching was alright
and not an earned run was made off
him.. Cummings also pitched a
steady game.
Our local team was outlucked Satur-
day in the game with Hagerstown
which we lost to O. Bishop and
Myers pitched brilliantly. with scarce
ly any balls going to the outfleld. The
field was nearly ankle deep in mud
and made the game slow and unin-
enthusiastically to Shepherds
town.
This Thursday afternoon at $50
the local team will try for another win
with Berkeley Springs. Many OBJ
servers believe that Berkeley Springs
has the best team our boys have play
ed this year.
Saturday, June 10th, the Blair
Limestone Company will send its in
dustrial league here for a game. The
famous Pittsburg battery Of Fitzpatrick
and Kelly will be on hand. The Blair
ton boys lost a close game to the Mar
tinsburg Y. M. G. A. team a few days
ago, the same "Y" team that boasts oil
the best amateur team in this Sec
ton OF the country. The game with
Blairton will start promptly at 4 o. m.
