work while playing in "Deadline at
Eleven" the newspaper play which
is soon to be released. So as to
get the proper newspaper atmos-
phere. Miss Griffith put in several
days in the office of New York
daily. and even tried her hand at
reporting. The city editor turned
down her stories. But she had the
experience and learned some Of the
why's and wherefores Of newspaper
work.
Miss Griffith had a camera with

not a motion picture camera. So

pictures, one showing beautiful

newspaper training in writing the
descriptive matter. Then she
shipped the picture and story to the
Sunday editors in New York and
one of them printed one picture

Girls, isn't this just the gr-r-rand-
est picture of Milton Stills that you
ever saw? We thought so too, and
that's the only excuse we could
find to print it. but that's quite
enough. Mr. Stills has long made
the hearts of the fair film fans fiut-

slight part. Their adoring eyes
could always hunt him out. Then

Operetta Is Attractive.

The Operetta. Polished Peb-
bles." which was presented by the
pupils of the Lincoln school at the
Rock Island high school, was sure
ly a treat for those who attended
the first performance last evening.
1t was very different from the ordi-
nary home talent play and the
characters proved themselves to be
exceptional little actors and act
resses. Virginia Dobbs in the role
Of Mrs. Cable, the town gossip,
kept the audience in laughter at all
times, when she appeared on the
stage, and Resale" Dorothy Fos-
ter made a sweet and charming
lassie with a lesson in her gentle
ness and modesty which she
brought out with dainty grace and
simplicity. Uncle Bob" was por-
trayed by Donald Brumwell. He
also deserves praise. Mrs. O'Brien,'
Beryle Williams. gave her charac-
ter all the dignity and hautiness
that was necessary. Willard Mar
shall as ''Nick." country boy. took
his part with naturalness WHICH
was really clever. The songs
dances and drills were well pre-
scented and great credit is to be
given to the untiring efforts OF
teachers who directed and coached
the play. The performance will be
repeated again this evening.

Louis Kreidler Is
Well Received at
Recital Program

Louis Kreidler, a member Of the
Chicago Grand. Opera company,
who has been added to the Angus
tana college conservatory faculty,
gave a recital at the college chapel
last evening which was well at
tended and the singer fully justi-
fed the reputation which he estab-
lished in Rock Island at his re-
cital last February here before the
Rock Island Woman's club. The
singer is baritone of unusual
ability and he displays much dra-
matte power and an excellent COM
mand of tone. purity and sweetness
of voice. His program was ar
ranged so as to bring out his many
qualities. The recital was greatly
enjoyed.
The program was varied and
most interesting, and those who
heard him for the first time were
much impressed with his vocalistic
talent; those who had heard him
before were more than satisfied
with the program. Hear Me, Ye
Winds and Waves" Julius Caesar
by Handel, was the opening num-
Der, which, displayed the strength,
virility and dramatic appeal in his
voice. His command of tone was
perfect, which was especially true
in the lower register. He used his
voice without any foolish artificiali-
ties in THE Last Hour" by Kra-
mer, and it was we'll liked. as was
the "Toreadore Song" from Car
men (BizeD. and the closing num-
Der, The Lord is a Man of War"
tHandeD. in which Harry Rams
dell of Moline sang with the SOLO
ist. 1t was majestic song, and
the two singers put in much of
feeling and understanding into the
number. Two French numbers,
which were well liked also. were
ties Yeux' (Rabey), and "D'Une
Prison" (Gretchanioff) Glitch
Mantle" Karl BUSCH, Danny
Deever" (Damroschl, Allah
Okramer). and the Morning
Hymn" by Henschel. Other num-
bers given were "St. Johns Night
and The Hunter" by Grieg. and
Robin Goodfellow," by Morgan.
