DO A
 VARIETY OF THINGS

The announcement that Mary Pick ford is to appear at the Bradley The atre Monday and Tuesday in her lat est United Artists production, "The Love Light" is of unusual interest to her thousands of local admirers, for several reasons, one of them being that the star, and her author and di- rector, Frances Marion, obtained the idea for the story, great deal of the furnishings and some of the players while each was honeymooning with her respective husband, in Italy
 Miss Pickford and Miss Marion be- ing close chums, and Douglas Fair banks and Frederick Thompson being fast friends, it was only natural that they should meet on the other side of the Atlantic and spend their honey moons together. and the two gifted girls sat on the rocks overlooking the Mediterranean in Northern Italy and planned the story.
 Another reason for the great inter est aroused by this production is that it is Miss Pickford's first appearance in an emotional drama following her announced policy of attempting new things and creating new paths in photoplay stories. It will be recalled that some time ago Miss Pickford an nouneed that not only for her own ar tistic advancement, but for the ad- vancement of the entire motion pie ture industry, she would endeavor to get away from the conventional hackneyed stories and attempt to present life as it really is.
 A third reason is that Miss Pick ford is presenting an entirely new cast to the screen in order that the pie ture migth be produced in the proper manner and with the proper atmos- phere, she having secured a number of the players from leading theatres both in Italy and France, and others from an Italian theatre in New York City She also insisted that the Italian Ian guage be spoken throughout the en- tire production.-Adv

Baptist Church Notes

The flowers Easter Sunday were given by Miss Abbie Keith's class in memory of Ellsworth Sabin, mem Der of the class up to the time of his death, October 12, 1920.
 The church choir is doing splendid work under the direction of Miss Estes. The rendering of the music at the Easter morning service was enjoy ed by large and appreciative congre- gation. The music was inspirational in the highest sense, and the solemn, mellow tones of the organ, played by Merton Ames, was a gratifying sur prise as he rendered the prelude of Hayden's Creation"

along the foul lines. approximately
100 automobiles were drawn up along
the two fences beside which they
We're permitted to park, and a hundred
or more were parked outside 1he
grounds.
The management Of the local team is
seriously considering the LuilGing Of
an addition TO the grandstand to take
care OF the overflow crowds which
have been attending the games. Such
action would greatly aid not only the
financial Golfers Of the local team. but
would permit the game on the field 10
be played in a better and more eff
cient manner. for with additional scat
ing room. those who now view the
games while sitting in automobiles
could be accommodated in the grand.
stand, and the machines could be
parked outside, permitting the out
fielders to make attempts to intercept
high flies which they cannot row do
with the automobiles in their path.
Also. the rule calling for two bases
on fair bail hit into the machines
could be lifted, and the batter get his
just deserts, as many bases as he can
get.

In SULLIVAN BATTLE
Following is the third of a ser.
les of sketches on championship
. battles Of the past appearing in

The pugilist crown first worn by
John L. sullivan, passed TO the head
Of James J. Corbett on Sept. Z, 1892. in
the twenty.first round of their cham
pionship fight at New Orleans. Corbett
had a lot of fun winning the fight and
the $4,000 that went with it, He
lowered three inches above the cham
pion, and continually smiled down at
sullivan in a most annoying manner
Corbett had been a bank clerk before
taking the ring seriously
Corbett's dancing. tactics elu-
ded the powerful Sullivan and enabled
Corbett to pick many openings for the
attack.
AS the battle spun along the Califor.
nian forced Sullivan TO take the de-
fensive. He had the champion draped
over the ropes when the bell rang at
the end Of the Goth round. In the
next round, Sullivan. beaten down by
smashing rights and lefts, tried hard
to regain his feet and carry on, but
his strength was not equal to his will.
1t was the greatest ring battle in the
public mind that had ever been staged
and good seats were sold for SIS and
more.
