Film Star Mod-|
fern Methods of Sleuths|
HARRY T. MoREY LEARNS How
SLEUTHS Work AND GIVES
A Few POINTERS

Before commencing work on The
Flaming Clue, which will be shown
at the Star theater Wednesday and
Thursday, June and 2, Harry 7,
Morey consulted a famous New York
detective. After a brief interview
Mr.. Morey became apprenticed to
this crime detector for the period of
"a hours. He learned all the ins and
outs of the profession, including the
use of false skin, finger print detect
ors, sound magnifying disc, suction
climbers, pocket pcriscope and suu-
terranograph.
The detective gave Harry Morey
merry chase that day, and the star
found it hard to keep up with his
teacher. They shadowed persons on
Broadway, climbed buildings on the
East Side, made ther way through
secret passages and did all sorts Of
things familiar to readers of detec-
tive stories.
The sleuth wanted to teach Morey
few of the tricks Of disguise, but
right here the star baked. He was
an expert at makeup and proved to
the crime suppressor that a picture
star could give a few tips to til, de
tective profession. For an hour Nor
ey became the teacher and a certain
detective the pupil. The latter learn
and wigs that he never knew before.
A picture actor has to be more par
tlcular about the use of paint and
false hair than a detective, for dis
guises that deceive the human eye
cannot be concealed from the cam
era Every defect in makeup is
readily detected when the film is
flashed upon the screen. The screen
player must rival nature and, if pos
sible, do a better job or the disguise
/ is of no avail.
Many of the tips given to the de-
tective were priceless, and he felt
amply repaid for the days spent with
larry T. Morey.
The Flaming Clue" is a thrilling
detective story, filled with love and
suspense. 1t shows how real detec-
tives work and solve battling myster-
les. The plot deals with the capture
of a band Of counterfeiters.

Revival Meeting at Annapolis.

Ed. Register wish to let our
many friends through Iron county
know of a wonderful revival that we
have had at Annapolis for the past
two weeks. Brother Fitzpatrick, Of
Dexter, a Nazarine minister, preach
cd for as, and wish to say that he
preached the old fashioned kind Of
salvation that makes Gods people
love one another. There were TWEEN
ty.six conversions up to last night and
80 much interest still shown that Rev.
j. W. Alcorn is going to continue In
the meeting. As I stated, Bro. Fitz-
patrick is q Nazarine, but he left
churchism out of his preaching and
worked for the salvation OF so uls, He
was assisted in the meeting by Rev. J,
W. Alcorn, pastor Of the General
Baptist Church, at this place.
Brother fitzpatrick has done a great
work in our town and surrounding
neighborhood, and has left with thu
friendship and love OF the entire com
munity. May God bless him in bill
great work 10 the prayer Of n who
attended. VINCENT SUTTON.

Des Arc Items.

Our community was shocked last
week by the sudden death of Joe Me-
Colister, one of our best citizens, and
who has lived in and around Des Arc
for twenty years. He was in Des Arc
as late as 4 O'Clock Tuesday, went
home, retired that night, apparently
in usual health, and during the night
he died. His wife was lying beside
him; she felt his face and he was
cold. He had been dead several
hours. The doctors had told him his
time was short here and four days be-
fore he died he made his will. He was
a member of the Baptist church at
Des Arc and was buried in the Des
Arc cemetery, Rev. Jones conducting
the funeral.
Our roads are almost impossible,
which makes business very dull.
John Seal, who has been sick quite
a while, is not much better.

Thanksgiving at Arcadia College.

The Thanksgiving service ct Area
dia College was opened with a High
Mass of Thanksgiving at 8 A. M. last
Thursday. The students, as we'll as
a large number of visitors and pa
rishioners. were present.
A sumptuous dinner was served to
the pupils al noon, All of the we'll
known Thanksgiving dishes were on
hand. The credit for no small por-
ton of these tasty dishes belongs to
the Domestic Science Glasses. These
yourg cooks claim to have found the
secret for making pumpkin pies "like
mother used to make.n
At three in the afternoon q joyful
procession was formed that ter minat-
ed in the lunch room, where the dis
tribution of the boxes took place
There were no disappointments; each
student was we'll remembered. Be-
fore the boxes yer opened, the Glee
Club sang "The Old Folks at Home"
and the student body joined in the
three cheers for the dear folks back
home.
A basketball game was staged a,
four. 1t was a warmly contested
game between the rival clubs, the G
o. G. and the W. A. R.. A more or
Iderly game was never witnessed or
the College Courts. The teams hao
practiced long and faithfully for THU
game. There was never a dull mo-
ment and the players showed more
than ordinary skill and thought in
handling the plays. If the final coun'
wBs in favor of the @. o. G. by one
points to Tit was due to the fac
that this club had been organized
longer and had more time for prac'
tice.
To many, the treat Of the day con
sisted in the Thanksgiving Program
staged in the College Auditorium at
P M. The entertainment was open,tt
the public. The large audience show
ed It's appreciation for each number
but WAS especially enthusiastic in itt
applause for the recitations and songs
of the Minims.

AT REST.

To write a few words in tribute to
the memory of a neighbor who has
passed beyond the realms of this life
is a task with its sad thoughts, When
the last words are said of her I. want
to be among the many who pay trib-
ute to her memory.
Mrs. T. G. Pratt, formerly Susan A.
Haynes, answered the call to "come
up and live with Me, where there will
be no more pain nor suffering" Au-
gust 26th, 1921, at LII P. M. She was
50 years, 6 months, IA days old. She
was married to 7. G. Pratt, October
Is, 1863. To this union eight children
were born, two preceding her to the
haven of rest in infancy, and the six
left to mourn her departure were at
her bedside at the last hour. There
were 36 grandchildren and Al great
grandchildren.
She gave her heart to Christ about
% years ago and has lived a true and
faithful member OF her church ever
since. She was a true wife and a low
ing, devoted mother.
