West Every detail has been brought out with vivid realism, and it's author is we'll satisfied with the picturiZa- tion.
 This is perhaps one of the big gest human interest stories eVel screened. Each player was picked from a chosen list of screen stars. The part of "The Kid" the young hero of the piece, is admirably play ed by Cullen Landis, who, after his work had been seen in this Goldwyn Picture. was immediately signed on a five year contract. This incident alone ought to prove that "The Girl from Outside" is in the hands of mas ter players.
 Director Reginald Barker and Rex Beach woiyled hand in hand all the time and with this combination, the story was produced by Goldwyn un- der the most favorable conditions Each character is real person. not puppet. ,,, life. and Director Barker has pro duced enough featur screen plays to qualify him as the most loglcal man to put on such a story.
 When a production is seen py us makers int he studio projection room, it is only with hardened eyes that they view 1.-the story is old to them. they have seen it in produc' tion. they know personally all the characters, and consequently they are not moved very puch, by the story: but in ''The Girl from Outside the picture carried all who saw It lh it's emotional sweep.

"A LITTLE BROTHER TO THE

"A Little Brother to the Rich, :" which appears Thursday at the Eagle. will prove immensely pleasing to the playgoers who like to see a good wo- man for the heroine, passably good man for the hero, a complete rascal for the villain and sweet story dra- matically told.
 Sylvia Castle, the heroine, played by Miss Adams, becomes successful Broadway star almost over night un- der the tutelage of bToken-down ac- tor sodden with drink. Two men pur- sue her. In the graphic climax she renounces one of the men, reforms the other and finds happiness in the doing.

1.-THE VENGEANCE OF DURAND"

How an adroitly evil tongue can work the destruction of many nves is demonstrated in a dramatic fashion by Vitagraphs new picture, "The Ven geance of Durand." This production, in which Alice Joyce takes the stellar role, will be shown at the Central thea tre on Sunday, March 1.
 Armand La Farge. villain of the pho- toplay. employs the evil tongue. With delft word and smile bestowed here and there this creature incites others to violent jealousy. The tremendous emotion produced in Henri Durand, an aristocratic Frenchman, brings about the dramatic climax of the play, a startling revenge.

land n IIlinais. at present practi-
cally worthless. which may be
made to yield their quota Of grain
for the worlds storehouse. through
working Of the drainage provision,
adopted By the constitutional con-
vention.
This statement was made by two
OF the foremost advocates Of a
statewide drainage plan, Senator
Henry M. Dunlap of Savoy, chair
man Of the agricultural commit
tee, and Delegate Sylvester J. Gee,
of Lawrenceville. Every river in
Illinois, they said, has along its
course hundreds of thousands OF
acres Of rich land, SO flooded In
times of heavy, rainfall that cultiva-
ton Is worse than useless.
Especially they say is this the
case in southern Illinois. Along
the Wabash river, the Embarrass or
Ambro river, the Kaskaskia. the
Little Wabash, the Big Muddy and
Little Muddy, Skillet Fork and
Cache rivers, to mention few,
farmers have plowed land nine
years in succession, to have their
work made sport Of by the waters
rushing down from central Illinois
to add their volume to the Father
of Waters.
Years ago this land was profit
able. Two crops out of three on
an average were successful. But
with the invention Of drain tile
improvements Of central Illinois
farms came at the expense Of
southern Illinois. Pools of water
on farms upstate, which previously
had waited for evaporation, were
hurried of by under-drainage te

ed to the excessive volume Of wa.

Streams in southern Illinois me
ander so much, their banks coult
not hold the inordinate rush. They
overran natural limits and spread
over wide areas, hunting for a di
rect route.
New laws may now be made, &C
cording to the proposed constitu
tional provision, providing TO
Strengthening such channels, drain
age and irrigation, and greater out
lets for drainage. Under the OH
constitution much drainage worl
was done. but the attempts wer'
local and disproportionate to tn
task. Unequal districts worked OF
their particular parts of the sam
river valley without any corodina
ton of purpose. The new constitu
tional provision would provid
state supervision and appropria
