Henry Sheets Star Story.

happened They rode a man on a rail!
Henry Sheets, the first reporter who
came TO the Star, was on the paper
at the time. Now, Henry was a prose
poet and had a vocabulary too big for
small town newspaper. 1t was so
voluminous that II couldn't be used on
the inconsequential things that hap
pened from day to day. To keep the
vocabulary in perfect working order
Henry would sit for long stretches OF
time with his eyes on the ceiling of
the old office and dream dreams. Even
tualy he would come out with 1t with a
fictitious story OF an imaginary young
woman "plunging into the seething vor-
tex OF crimnality." There were other
ponderous phrases like that, many Of
them, that | can't recall
Well, anybody can imagine what a
relief II was to Henry when he got
tip that a man, human being, was
going to be ridden on a rail Such
things happen only once in the lifetime

committed an indiscretion for which
his shopmates in the Huber factory
could find no suitable punishment un-

A. The Strand.

"a Girl Named Mary" a Marguerite
Clark picture is the attraction at the
Strand. Like most OF Marguerite's
films II provides an entertainment OF
pure Joy aud good, wholesome laughter,
and this one has moro dramatic situ-
ations than usually appear in the little
stars vehicles.
The role of Mary Healy, the viva
cious little heroine, brings out all the
lnimitable talents of the dainty star,
The part is filled with sparkle and
wistful humor in the portrayal OF
which Marguerite, as usual, appeirs at
her best. There Is, however, one mar
ring note in the play and that is be-
cause Miss Clark wears blonde wig
which can not be called becoming.
Kathlyn Williams has an import
ant part in the play. She presents in
her finished manner the role of Mrs.
Jacfrev. a wealthy widow, who, after a
fifteen year search for lost daughter,
finds that Mary Healy Is the girl. Ro-
nance is FURNISHED In the picture by
Wallace Mcdonald. a good looking

At The Casino.

George Walsh the popular Fox star,
takes another kind OF role in his latest
picture, The Beast" now being shown
at the Casino. In this picture Mr..
Walsh is n leader OF a gang of cow
boys. Mr. Walsh is an interesting char
acter and his work Is always pleasing
but it is a pity that he could not have
been given a better vehicle for display
ing his talents than the present one.
The story colcerns the kidnapping of
girl by Walsh as Wolf Dawson, while
on drunken spree in a dance hall.
After riding off with her, ne suddenly
is overcome with shame and lets her
go.
The idea developed in the plot Is the
regeneration OF brute. After kdnap-
ping the girl, Dawson resolves TO win
her love. He goes to New York and
saves wealthy clubman from thugs.
This serves as his introduction into So
ciety and he meets the girl. Ann Luth-
er. She does not recognize him until at
a masked ball he is announced as the
'neast.' Then she realizes where she
had seen him before and finally for
gives him for his brutal acts.
