whenever young Mr.. Landon Of Yale would
strive to describe the emotions tugging at
his heart, little Miss Lord would get right
up and say: "Oh, come on and Join the

This was not much encouragement.
1t was not until after they had arrived
at Antwerp and were having tea at the
Hostess's House that he got chance to
pop the question.

AN EXCELLENT CAST
IN $50 LONG LEFTY
Quartet of Artists Headed by T. Roy
Barnes Make Picture One of
Seasons Best.

One of the best Robertson Cole
super-special releases of the year is
80 Long Lefty" the comedy-drama
produced by Al Christie, which will
begin run of two days at the Ken
worthy Theatre on Monday. The
picture is the screen adaptation of the
Oliver Morocco play of the same name
which established an enviable record
on the legitimate stage during the
last five seasons.
The picture was made in the Holly
wood studios outside of Los Angeles
by Mrby Mr. Christie so that every
thing in both productions are alike in
detail and none of the fine points of
the play as originally put on, are
lost in the picture.
AS a photo-play, $50 Long Lefty"
has one of the most capable casts
seen in any picture this season. The
four principal characters call for
artists of ability and in T. Roy
Barnes, Grace Darmond, Colleen
Moore, and Walter HERS, $50 Long
Lefty" has practically an all star ag-
pregation. There are many beautiful
bathing girls in the picture, Mr..
Christie believing that water, either
as a part of a picture setting or
otherwise, is useless unless you put
something worth while in it.

fixed in the most surprising manner.

THE SUSPENSION OF ROTH

The action of President Bradley
cancelling the suspension of Roth,
the first baseman of the Wilson base
ball team, for an assault on an, UNI
pire, with an increase in the fine
from $50 to 500 is much Better
than the suspension of one of our
best players.
The removal of Roth at this criti-
cal moment would have greatly i'm
paired the efficiency of the Wilson
team 1t would not only have i'm
paired the organization but would
players.
There is feeling among some of
the Wilson fans that the Virginia
cities in the League have it in for
the North Carolina towns in the
League as a matter Of State pride.
But this opinion should not be al
lowed to prevail, even if it is fact,
which of course is an indeterminate
matter.
Everyone should recognize the ne
scessity for the umpire to feel per-
fectly free in making his decisions
without fear or influence and his
failure in this respect should be
determined after calm consideration
and investigation by the directors of
the league. A determination to
make an example might have in
f1uenced President Bradley in deal
ing with Roth.
OF course the Virginia cities out
number the North Carolina towns in
the voting at the meetings and if
there is any ground for the opin-
ion that State pride is exerting too
great an influence in the direction of
the Virginia league, it is up to the
North Carolina towns to see that our
State has at least a fifty fifty repre-
sentation next season, or Join with
North Carolina towns in the forma-
tion of a league within the borders
