Honest-to-Good Ada

One of the very few little ladies
who has gone on the stage under
her real honest-to-goodness name Is
Ada Mae Weeks in Listen Lester.
Miss Weeks was born not many
years ago, twenty to be exact in
number. in oyster Bay. n. Y.
neighbor of the illustrious Roose-
velts. In fact, it was owing to Col.
Roosevelt's encouragement that she
decided TO adopt the stage as a
career. for he had noticed the little
one dancing at festivals and bazaars.
and suggested to the child's mother
that her talent was dancing and that
1t should be cultivated.
Miss Weeks was educated in
Brooklyn, and later studied dancing
with a well-known teacher. Her op-
portunity came in Around the Map"
after which came "Sprin gtime." then
Fancy Free" where she followed
Marylyn Miller on twenty four
hours notice, and since then she has
been with Listen Lester" now in its
second year.
Little Miss Weeks, by the way,
has her own ideas about the art of
dancing.
THE true artist" she declares
dances not only with her feet. but
with her face and her whole body.
There is nothing artistic about sim
ply frisking about the stage. Any
fairly graceful person can do that.
But as a dancer moves about her
facial expression should continually
change to interpret the emotions her
feet portray. A dancer should carry
to her audience a definite message,
be it of sadness, gaiety or passion.
THE whole body should be
brought into play to help tell the
story and display the emotions" We
are safe in saying that Miss Weeks
carries these messages to her audi
ence, for she is as airy as a bit of
thistledown.
William Morris, whose recent
theatrical activities have been con-
fined to the direction of Sir Harry
LADDERS annual world tours, an
nounces the production of a new
play called Dorothy Dixie Lee" in
which Edith Taliaferro will create
the title role. 1t is the work of
Edward Locke. author OF The
Climax" The Case Of Becky" and
other metropolitan successes which
have found their meter among
playgoers Throughout the country.
In his latest opus, Mr.. Locke has
departed radically, in theme and
Characterization from the nature of
his former works, and is said to
have evolved a story Of the romantic
South from the episodes which car
ried little Miss Lee from her South
ern home to New York and back
again.
In addition to staging the produc-
tion, George Marion will also essay
the role of an old negro slave.
Others in the cast are Edith Shayne,
Lucille LaVerne. Mabel Maurel, Ar
thur Elliott, Ryder Keane, William
Powell. Burke Clarke, and the
Dorothy Dixie Lee quartet Of
singers. The play will be shown
here at the Shubert-Garrick on
April 26.

SUNDAY RECREATION

The people Of DeRidder are to be
congratulated upon the result of re-
cent election wherein they voted in fa-
vor of the repeal of the ordinance
which prohibits Sunday ball games
and pictures.
The world moves on in sphere Of
progress and times change with the
growth from youth to old age. What
was considered wrong for boys on Sun
day a generation ago is now consider
ed right.
Not many years ago, it seems, my
parents forbade me riding a bicycle on
the Sabbath, and the Sunday papers
were channels Of crime in their eyes.
To-day the youth have different
ideas about these things.
1t is much better to provide limo
cent recreation on the Sabbath day
than to have the youngsters ramble
around the alleys throwing dice and
doing other degrading things.
Encourage the tired weekday work
er to work in his garden Sunday
morning and mhale the sweetness of
his Creators wonderful flowers. Help
the boys to live a strong, healthy life,
and learn the quickness and sports
manship of the ball game. Let the
young couple wander into the picture
show Sunday evening, instead of pa
rading the dark streets.
We say DeRidder is to be congrat-
ulated, and we believe the people OF
Leesv;Ee will do well to follow the ex-
ample set BY them.
Vernon Parish Democrat. (Leesville, La.) 1917-193?, 1920-07-01

he is on the rim Of the world. Some of
the turns are so sharp it is impossible
to see 20 feet ahead, and We seem to
be perilously near the jumping off
place. We wonder If 1t is safe to lean
out and peer into the canyon far below,
and when we do we are perfectly sat
isfied we are flirting with death. Yet
the trip is a safe one, providing our
driver has better nerves than our own.
All too soon we reach the outskirts
of BaguiO, city among the clouds,
and are rather surprised at the modern
city we find it to be. In ten years Ba-
guio has grown from a village of huts
to the now justly famed mountain re-
sort Of the Philippines, sometimes call
ed the Philippine Simla. It is I'M
doubtedly destined some day to become
large city.
BaguiO ranges in elevation from
$500 to $500 feet and is surrounded
practically on all sides by high noun
tain ridges and ''hogsbacks" towering
into the skies. at a height Of almost
5000 feet.
Aside from the scenery, which is
noteworthy, the great blessing Of Ba-
guiO is its temperate climate, which is
indeed q godsend to those impoverish-
ed by the tropical temperatures Of the
lowlands. Not only is the mountain
air rich in ozone, but 1t has been DEM
onstrated to be extraordinarily free
from germs OF all kinds.
Each year during the hot season the
school teachers Of the entire archipela-
go are enabled by the government to
spend a month at the teachers camp
in Baguio for recreation and confer
ence on school work American army
officers and their families also 60 to

MAKE FARM LIFE ATTRACTIVE

There is much talk these days about
the difficulty of holding farmers
sons to farm life" Certain it is that
they are not to be held to it except as
they are attached to it and fairly re-
munerated for their time and energies.
The fact remains that somewhere in
reserve away back in the head of most
men of normal taste and wholesome
mentality is the hope, the dream or
expectation of sooner or later "retir-
ing from the stress of city life to the
quiet of an existence close to nature
on farm somewhere" that measur-
es up, in a degree, to memory or
phantom picture Of the ideal farm. ;"
Certainly the greatest deterrent to
the deliberate selection of life on the
farm Is the traditional isolation and
uncertainty Of profit. The we'll
known "drudgery" of farm life, both
for men and women, has also operat-
ed as an obstacle. Means to hire com
petent help aids greatly in overcoming
the drudgery bugaboo and modern
conveniences on the ranch have par
tally dispelled the dreaded isolation.
The hiatus from the farm has come
to be real social and economic prob
I'm. The life of the nation is singu-
l@ly dependent on farm production.
he development Of cities is economic
lily wholesome only as the right bal
~nce is maintained between the pro-
auction of the farm and factory. So,
every evidence of prosperity earned
from cultivation of the soil is of in
creasing public interest.
Farm life must be made attractive.
One way to do it is to make it more
profitable. 1t may later be necessary
10 save normal farm production to the
nation by regulating the course of
farm output between original produc-
er and consumer so as to insure the
farmer a just proportion of the profits.
We are at present supporting too
many middle men.

the trip to Baguio within the means of
hundreds of thousands of FilipinOs.
Not only is there sufficient power in
this river to electrify line from Ma
Mia to Baguio, but to operate the
street railways Of Manila, light the
city and furnish power for manufac-
turing concerns.
But we have now arrived at Camp
One. From this point the scenery
rapidly changes as the elevation in
creases. We are travelling over the
famous Benguet road, the construction
of which through the mountains is a
most remarkable engineering triumph.
At places the road is blasted out of the
solid granite. Riding on the edge of a
100 foot precipice makes one feel like

Louisiana offers opportunities for
farming which no other state cen
now offer. Land is cheaper here
