Out Of Luck

Oh, he wrote an ode to Kitty.
Wrote it quickly on his cuff,
And the ode was very pretty
So he hoped to sell the stuff.
But his wife, prosaic Kitty.
In the laundry put the cuff,
So he couldn't sell the ditty,
Which was very, very tough.

The largest farmers cooperative
association in Aroostook County,
which includes in it's membership o
sixth of the total farm population OF
the country organized under the pres
idency of o. B. Griffin, have been
fighting for two years now in behalf
of an improved marketing system
and method of buying fertilizer. The
organization has within it. 20
subsidiary corporations at local
shipping points which are of aid in
handling the crop from the entire
county. Each farmer, when his crop
is ready for shipment, notifies the
overhead sales manager, at Houlton
through a local manager. This sales
manager, being in touch with all
markets for the crops, sells the car by
wire, and then carries on the various
business transactions for the indi-
vidual farmer through whatever local
manager can be in closest touch with
him. BY means of this federation
the farms of Aroostook are becoming
organized into something more of a
unit with exceedingly beneficial re-
suits.

Harry Carey Quits
As a Screen Daddy
To Please "FanS'

In two or three OF Harry Carey's s
recent photoplays this popular Wes-
tern star has loved the leading lady
with a pure, unselfish love, only to
relinquish her to the juvenile in the
final scenes. Carey thought he was
doing the artistic thing in thus
splitting up the love interest.
But during the past few months
Carey has been receiving hundreds
Of letters daily from his admirers
everywhere, telling him that he is
not old enough to play the fatherly
roles and that they preferred to see
him with the leading lady in his
embrace in the. final fade-out
So to please his patrons Harry
Carey wrote his own story and calls
1t Hearts Up" the film adapta-
ton of which will be the feature at
traction at Moore's Garden Theater
the first half Of the current week
beginning today. In this story he
compromises between his own ideas
and the publio's demands. He plays
father to a girl whose real parents
have passed away, but in the end
the girl falls in love with him while
Harry discovers that life without
her would be too lonesome to con-
template. And the last scene shows
Carey and his leading lady in the
most approved lovers embrace.

My Dear Mr.. Robbins:
"At a meeting of the executive

LAS far as I konw, you have the
honor of being the chairman of the

the largest percentage of members

porttonately speaking, and the
workers in the Red Cross are con-
scious that it was very largely due
to your energy and management.
Very truly yours,

although there are several good
plays and novels available" says
DeMille, they are good merely as
stage productions or as books. They
are rarely of any use as motion pic
ture material. for the reason that
they were written TO be p-c1@ced on
the stage or to be Tublished be-
tween covers.
The motion picture medium is
entirely different; il is a new art
form, and authors who hope to see
their stories or plays on the screen
must realize that fact. They must
realize that II they are going to

Neilan Has Made
Real Screen Star
of FreckLed Boy

How has Marshall Neilan sue
Ceeded in making such an over
whelmingly popular screen favOrite
Of 13-year-old, freckle-faced, red
haired, tow-headed and mischievous
yOungster who answers to the
name of Wesley Barry?
That is Mr.. Neilan's secret, of
course, but an observer at the Nei-
Ian studio recently received some
enlightenment after watching the
director and members of his COM
pany at work on "Dinty," in which
Wesley Barry has the first starring
role OF his career, and which will
be shown for the first time locally
at Crandall's Metropolitan and
Knickerbocker theaters, beginning
today.
Wesley is "Dinty," a newsboy in
the picture. In the scene about to
be taken, 'Dinty" was to be shown,
feeling very sad and lonely, after
the loss of his mother.
Wesley clasped his hands in front
Of him, head down, eyes on the
ground-a picture Of woe. Slowly
he walked across a patch Of sun
light. 1t seemed many minutes
were consumed in making the short
journey.
Stop at the column" Neilan
called.
The director watched every move
Of the boy, who kept up his walk
without perceptible indication that
he had heard the new command.
He neared one of the great COL
umns. Neilan walked quietly to-
ward the same point, keeping out
of the cameras focus.

he said in quick, positive command,
lean against it and think of your
mother"
Wesley had reached the cool
shadow made by the mighty col
umn. He paused a moment, leaned
wearily against the column, look
of unutterable woe on his face.
Now" from Neilan, who spoke
quickly and quietly to the boy.
Now, begin to cry. Put your hands
to your face, turn your face to the
column and cry"
Wesley followed the instructions
as they were given.
Neilan watched the rise and fall
Of the lads shoulders for a few
seconds, gave a signal, and the
scene was finished.

goers have another treat in store in
the latest film production by Doro-
thy Phillips, star. and Allan Holubar,
director Universal De Lux Spe-
cial, 'sOnce to Every Woman" The
production is said to be remarkable
for the lavish manner in which 1t
has been staged. as well as its su-

is tho keynote and It shows the
vanity of worldly ambition. when
not founded on human affection. A
talented and popular cast is seen in
support. Short subjects and orches-
trail features will complete the pro-
gram.
