Day after day my mail contains let
tiers both from the public as well as from
the performers. Some time a line or two
is received from a theater manager or
the manager of a show. Some Of the
letters have been pleasant and others
have been the opposite. I have always
welcomed honest criticism Of my reviews
of shows
The other day I received a letter from
the Watson Sisters, who are the head
line offering at the local Keith house
this week. In my review, I saw fit to
play up" as We say in newspaper work,
the entertaining efforts of Clara Howard
and Sophie Davenport" l explained
that my opinion of the Howard act in
no way reflected upon the headline merits
of the Watson Sisters.
Did the Watson Sisters resent the
exercise of my right in playing up"
Miss Howard?
They did not.
received the following letter from
the Watson Sisters:
we read with great pleasure your
opinion of our act in today's Times. We
greatly appreciate all the nice things
you wrote about us and we take this
means of thanking you.
I'VE enjoyed your review on the entire
bill and note you have a good sense of
humor, particularly with Sophia
with best wishes and thanking again,
We are sincerely,
WATSON SISTERS. Per Fanny W.
The tiggers and more famous the
actress the more of a human being she is.
Here are two of the biggest headliners
on the Keith circuit who enjoy, really
enjoy, reading a review of a vaudeville
show.
The Watson Sisters did not find fault
that their names We're not spread over
the entire paper. I recognized their
headline worth. They are the leaders
on the vaudeville stage in their particu-
lar line Of work and yet they are big
enough to enjoy reading of others.
1t Is this spirit that the watson Sis
tiers reflect In their letter to me that has
made them favorites with the managers,
the men back stage and the public Of
every Keith theater.
The stage needs genuine people. Let's
keep the Watson Sisters before the pub
lie until the final curtain.
The letter was not written for publ
cation, but have used it to demonstrate

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-"Enchantment'
with Marion Davies Is beyond a doubt
the best picture Marion Davies has made
In her screen career. The story is en-
tertaining. the settings and photography
are magnificent, and the acting upon the
part Of Miss Davies is finished and shows
talent. Robert G. Vignola has done ex-
cellent work In the direction Of this in
teresting picture.
1.-THE Beggar Maid" a two-reel pro-
duction based on Sir Edward Bnrns-
Jones painting and Tennyson's poem,
king Cophatua and the Beggar Maid"
is one Of the most beautiful screen pro
auctions I have seen in many months.
The director, Herbert Blache, has han
died his theme dellcately and with taste,
Romance, permeated with the spirit Of
art, makes this production a screen
achievement Of great distinction.

pits of Life" by Marshall Neilan, IS
a screen novelty that should prove at
! tractive. 1t is a collection of four two
reel stories, each one of which is inter
esting in itself and in no way connected
with the other This attempt TO make a
screen production like a magazine in
variety OF interest is highly successful
and deserves to be followed by other
producers. Like THE Beggar Maid" it
shows that the two reel picture is in
teresting and long enough for some sto-
ries and I think that this tendency to-
ward better stories and shorter stories
IS a good change
Editors Note-Matt Moore well known
film star, who has played opposite Mary
Pickford, Elsie Ferguson and other stars

'IEENE" DUE AT
MURAT MONDAY.

Irene" the smart musical comedy.
which opens a weeks enga cement at the
MuTat Monday night as its Thanksgiv-
Ing attraction with matinees Thursday at
30 and Saturday, has scored triUmphs
both in New Work, Boston and Chicago
and presents a pleasing REPUTATION of the
statement that musical comedy cannot be
made Interesting, tunefuI and amusing
at one and the same time.
The book, by James Montgomery, tells
an interesting story Of a Cinderella shop
girl who is suddenly elevated to smart
society. Harry Tierney has written
melOdiouS and captivating score with
number OF refreshing hits, Including
Alice Blue Gown We're Getting Away
With It." SKY Rocket" IRENE" Castle
OF Dreams" and The Last Part of
Every Party" which lend themselves TO
exceptional dancing and singing. The
lyrics are by Joseph Mccarthy and the
staging by Edward Royce Of the Gayety
Theater, London, is Of high order.
Irene is a shop girl, who, through
visit to the country home Of Donald Mar
shall, to inspect some unsatisfactory
goods, is introduced to a male modiste
In search Of models. Clothes may not
make the man but they certainly make
the girl in this instance, for, CARRIED in
her borrowed apparel she wins the heart
of both her benefactOr and her audience.
ms shl1I IN the heroine station IN
life IS cleverly used to introduce scenes
alternating between the emerald lawns Of
a Lond Island country house and the
back walls of a tenement with Its dreary
EigZags Of fire escapes. Two of Irene's
girl griends accompany her in her So
cial ascent. but their mothers view it
all suspiciOusly and act accordingly in
diverting situations

TWO BLOCKS AWAY"
OPENS MONDAY NIGHT.

Barney Bernard cf Abe Potash fame,
will open a three-day engagement be-
ginning Monday evening at English's in
Aaron HOfman's latest comedy, 1.-TWO
Blocks Away" in which Mr.. Bernard is
being starred under the management Of
Charles Dillingham;.
Mr.. Bernard played Abe Potash for
eight seasons but in his new role of Nate
POmmerantz, he Is afforded the greatest
opportunity Of his career to display his
marked talents for character sketching
He incidentally plays the only Jewish
part in the piece. The prolific writer
Aaron Hoffman, who wrote this new We
hicle, is probably best known for "Wel
come Stranger" which became such a
notable success.
Two Blocks Away" is a comedy Of
homely philosOphy-tO-wit, that the pos
session OF money does not bring happi-
ness, but that on the contrary, 1t is quite
likely to convert kindly disposition into
a sour one. The comedy shows the rise
OF Nate POmmerantz, a Jewish cObbler
who works at his trade in o basement
shop in the districts Of the poor and is a
popular and loved character Of the
neighbOrhocd.
The second act tnds him living in
nearly solitary grandeur IN a house on
the park, two blocks away" Here, "all
lit up" by a sunburst of prosperity, he
shows himself money mad and a victim Of
luxury, turning his back upon all his old
friends and even changing his name to
Nathaniel Orange. but in the end the
play sees him again Nate POmmerantz.
and his former self without his big for
tune but with his old friends.
In support Of Mr.. Bernard will be seen
such players as Edna Hubbard, Anee
Carpenter. Wallace Erskin, Harold Rus
sell, John Rutherford, Kate Morgan and
many others.

Mississippi's new Conservation
Commissioner, authorized by the
last session of its legislature. is be-
ginning the preparation of such
conservation measures a it deems
important for the next Legislature
to undertake. Foremost among its
proposals is the creation of a state
board of forestry, which will APP
point a state forester who will be
charged with the duties of prevent
ing forest fires and conducting a
campaign for timber conservation.
The board will be financed by a
tax of 10 cents a thousand feet on
the timber cut. No steps toward
the reclamation of cut-over forest
areas are mentioned, but it will not
be long before Mississippi finds this
one of the most vital of its under
takings New Orleans Item.

Petition For Pardon

To His Excellency, Governor Lee M.
Russell and the Members of the
Board of PardOns of the State OF
Mississippi.
We, the undersigned citizens oil
Monroe county, Mississippi. would
respectfully show unto you that. nj
the October term. 1921, of the cir
cult court of said county. Gny Hill
was convicted on a charge of dis
tilling and was sentenced by the
court to serve a term of one year in
the State penitentiary.
The petitioner has always borne
a good reputation "a law abiding
citizen. this being the first time he
was ever charged with a violation
of the law. The testimony against
him was very weak and unsatisfac-
tory. and we do not believe that he
is guilty of the charge. 1t is our
opinion that he is a victim of preiu-
dice. Therefore we most earnestly
request you to grant him a pardon,
and make this request in the inter
est of justice.
Respectfully.

Business Parasites

= We heard one of our substantial
merchants, who made his money
some other way than by merchan-
dising, make this statement a few
days ago when approached by the
News advertising man. Il don't
have to advertise. | sell my goods
to the crowds who are brought to
town by the advertising other mer-
chants do" We did not argue the
matter with this man. but the
thought popped into our mind at
once, Suppose every marchant
acted as you are doing, who would
bring the crowds to town, and Is
that not a sort of parasitic attitude
to assume?"-Georgia News.
Got some here Just like 'em. :"
One merchant told US few months
ago when we talked to him about
advertising. that his customers
could not read ads, and that he
really courted the trade that did
not read newspaper, that he got
better profits than some who al
vertised.-Texas Tribune.
