'KISMET" AS FILM
SETS PICTURE PACE
Otis SINNERS Famous Play With
Star in Leading Role Makes
Movie History

"K;smet," the Robertson-Cole sup.
er-spcciaI production, starring the m
imtable character actor, Otis Skin
ner, in his first screen venture, will be
at the opera house Friday. This is
rcputcd to be the greatest picture of
the decade. Rcpletc with interesting
characterlZations and situations, the
story gave Mr.. Skinner his greatest
starring vehicle on the legitimate
stage and the screen version is even
better.
II is a privilege to sec the :%rcat
character star in this picturesque pre-
duction which, as the smashing hit
of two continents, marked an epoch
in legitimate drama. It was with ef-
fort that Mr.. Skinner was persuaded
to perpetuate both the drama and
himself by appearing on the screen
in portrayal Of the famous charac-
ter of Hail the bcggar. Having final
ly consented, the actor, as is his Gus
tom, threw himself into the work with
all his vim and enthusiasm and the re-
suit is Il masterpiece of moving pic
ture art.
The story of "Kismet" placed in
the historic ole city Of Bagdad, calls
for settings of unusual magnitude and
picturesqueness. While Robertson
Cole did not "shoot'' any of the
scenes in the city used in the pic
turization Of the story, were literal
ly transplanted to Hollywood, Cali
fornia. The expense incurred in pre-
senting perfection Of detail was enor-
nous, but nothing was stinted, with
the result that the audience goes hand
in hand with Mr. Skinner through a
real live Turkish atmosphere.

Der; five hundred square feet OF

valued at $500 and large enough tc
cover floor two hundred feet in

building of just one setting, the In
terror of the Caliph's palace.
1t is almost impossible to paint with
words a picture of the beauty and ar
tistry Of this setting, which in pro
duct.on Of unique splendor stands out
as the supreme achievement. 1t is
dazzling in its coloring, bizarre in
design, and awe-insipiring in its vast
ness.
Never III all the history of motion;
picture production has there been a
photoplay produced on such a large
scale and of such magnitude as the
screen version of ''kismet,' in which
OTIS Skinner makes his debut as a
film star.

LITTLE GIRLS ACT
PREVENTS TRAGEDY
RUBY BANKS FLAGS TRAIN
SAVING SEVERAL LIVES
Buggy in Which She and Other Little
Children Were Riding Had Been
Caught on Crossing

1t is rare that courage and pres
ence Of mind such as was shown by
little ten-year old Ruby Banks, Of
Newberry county, is displayed by peo-
pie of mature years. In one 50 young,
the deed which she performed, which
resulted in the saving Of the lives of
-four little children, younger than her
self, was one Of remarkable bravery
and 'heroism, deserving of a Carnegie
heroine reward.
On last Wednesday morning little
Ruby, who is the daughter of Mr..
Pierce B. Banks, living on the New
berry-Prosperity highway, went in a
buggy with four other children to the
home of ieighbor. The other chill
dren were mere tots, the five in the
buggy composed of Ruby, aged ten;
her brother Horace, aged seven; her
sister Elizabeth, aged four, and little
Herbert Shealy and Harvey Shealy,
aged four and three years, respec-
lively. They drove to Mr.. Ira Domi-
nick's and had started to Mrs. jamie
Fellers', not far away, and on their
route attempted to cross the c., n. 4
L. track at one of the grade cross
ings which has now been discontinued.
This crossing, which is some little
distance below their home, has been
closed on one side, but remains open
on the other. Not observing that it
was closed, they drove on the track,
and it was only then that they found
they would be unable to get across.
Little Ruby made vain efforts to get
the horse backed off the track. The
horse was either unable or unwilling
to back off with. the children in the
buggy.
It was about this time that Ruby
noticed the smoke of the passenger
train from Columbia, which is due in
Newberry shortly after one o'clock
in the afternoon. Ruby then began
an attempt to get the children out of
the buggy. She succeeded in getting
her little brother and sister out, but
could not get the two little Shealy
children out. Never faltering for a
moment in the presence of approach
ing death, with the passenger train
bearing down upon them, Ruby ran
down the track, holfering and waving
her hands as she went, and the en-
gineer seeing her danger signals,
brought his train to a stand-still
short distance from the buggy. One
of the crew got off the train and
helped get the horse and buggy off
the track, and Ruby drove the I'll
dren home in safety.
Ruby is modest little girl, and
when seen by representative of The
Herald and News, she. answered queS-
tons with child-like simplicity. She
was in the fourth grade at Johnstone
academy, near her home, last year,
and goes into the fifth at the ap-
preaching session,
The situation which she met with
out faltering required quick acton
and a. brave heart, and clear and
well-posed mind, and her act deserves
recognition, as it has already received
the unqualified praise of those who
know the details of it. A brief men,
tion of the occurrence was made IN
the last issue of The Herald and News
but at that time all the details were
not obtainable.

Since golden slippers have been leid

Paper hats are taking the day.
We hope they have come to stay,
AS we like those little hats on Mae
And on all the girls, quiet or gay;
For they all look pretty any way,
And over the men they hold full sway,
Through our hearts shooting a ray,

And look and stop and watch and

Yes, we think those hats will pay.

1t will merely be my endeavor to

On the basis of what | found them

Demp Stronger
Dempsey is a bigger, stronger and
harder hitter, and in addition is very
fast. He must not, however, hold the
Frenchman too cheaply
The challenger is a fast and hard
two-handed hitter and a much better
man than he is generally credited
with being.
He is always trying to do the I'M
expected and takes advantage of ev-
cry opening. He is cool, heady, al
ways dangerous and what is also a
good asset, always supremacy conf
dent. Carpenter, Furthermore, is the
