GRAND DISPLAY OF COLONY
PRODUCTS AND ACTIVITIES
SHOWS PROGRESS MADE

May LIST and End, 1921, were red
letter days in the history of the Llano
Cooperative Colony Company. Ample
material proof was displayed as evi-
dence of what this group of progressive
people can do and already has accom-
plished, being also a sure prophesy of
what achievements they are capable of
and will realize in the years to come.
The exposition was held in two
buildings, the school house and the
children's clubhouse, the latter having
been erected by the children.
In theschool house were the displays
of needlework, of the harness shop, of
the Photographic department, of the
kindergarten, of the Esperanto classes,
of the membership department, of the
bakery, of the syrup-making and of
the publishing department.
The scope of some of these depart
ments, as evidenced by the displays
made, was a surprise even to many of
the residents. The fancy work shown
in the needlework section supplied
knowledge of great activity that was
hardly suspected. Beautiful dresses,
all kinds of women's wear, exquisite
emhroideries, doiIies and all kinds of
fixings that delight a woman's heart,
and the uses and objects of which
mere man" is entirely incapable of
describing properly or appreciating.
Women alone could do justice to such
description.
Visitors were especially impressed
with the surprising showing made by
the kindergarten. That little tots of
four years old and over should make
such drawings and tracings is almost
miraculous. But it is not surprising

his face this week by giving two fine

The work OF Harry Levey Of the

films OF an appealing nature.
He has just announced a Nation wide
motion picture campaign Of such vital
nature that I am devoting this space to-
day in interest of Mr.. Levey.
A public spirited movement has been
started for the purpose Of filming the
story Of the United States showing every
section, its advantages, attractions, re-
sources and opportunities. IN addition
the films will show the best method to
harness together all sS.ial, economic.
educational and business forces in order
to promote good living. good roads, bet
ter rail and inland water transportation
and will be used to promote e2cn and
every beneficial movement that will tend
to make our American States, counties
and towns better communities in which
to live.
The Harry Levey Service Corporation
has been engaged TO produce these pic
lures and already a competent staff I'M

Bessie Barriscale, long the bright star
Of Triangle and later Of other pictures,
returned to the speaking stage" in 1.-The
Skirt" for me it was not a return,
for, as I remember, I had seen her there
seven years ago and more. 1t is comedy
she is now playing; not the grave,
troubled roles she is wont to be in the
moving pictures and in this comedy she
enjoys vast popularity.
A thing I do not recall having seen
before in the business" of Hamlet"
was introduced by Mr.. Sothern in the
scene OF his Get thee to a nunnery, 60"
with Miss MarlOwe. When Hamlet asks,
Where is they father:" and Ophelia
says that Polonius is at home, Mr..
Sothern has so arranged that he catches
sight Of POlonius over ophelia's head /;
and he turns suddenly with swift anger,
realizing that even she is faithIess and
the instrument of his enemies. 1t is very
effective. In general, of course the pro-
duction is similar to the Sothern- Marlowe
productions of before-productions which
have been amazingly successful on tour,
and which will continue here for the rest
of this month. Rowland Blackstone is, as
he has been for long, a wonderful grave
digger.
