MILTON SILLS AT FIVE POINTS
IN THE FAITH HEALER,

Several extraordinary features in
connection with The Faith Healer
which is the attraction at the Five
Points theatre today. make it one OF
the most notable N,exampless of the
screen art produced by George Mel
ford this season. The play was writ
ten by the late William Vaughn
Moody, a playwright of note.
The theme is one of the most com
peIling ever conceived by dramatist
and it discusses the problem OF
whether a man with a great work OF
mission in life should sacrifice the
joys and pleasures of life, even love
itself. and devote all his energies to
his mission.
The story presents in clear. truth
full form the great truth of healing
by faith. A beautiful romance Is de-
veloped in the story. The picture Is
one of4great emotional and dramatic
intensity.

"T,HE BLACK PANTHER's CUB'
DRAMA OF PARIS--ALCAZAR

In connection with the presenta-
tion of The Black Panther's Cub
at the Alcazar all this week local
theatregoers are taking advantage of
seeing one of the most magnificent
and gorgeous screen productions Of
fered in many seasons.
The picture is big, road-gauged
and colorful, its scenes so numerous
and so vastly far apart in concep7
! ton and illustration that constant
interest is excited.
They leap from peaceful episodes,
! following a ride to hounds in Eng
land, to the barbarous splendor of
court of ancient Rome. Back again
to palpitating Paris its gorgeous
gambling dens, where men risk their
/ all on a turn of the wheel, on to
scenes of wild revelry, or beautiful
women, audacious gowns and the
maddening dances of wild Apaches.
Through it all throbbing tale OF
love, of environment and of destiny .
controls winds it's way.

plentiful as they used to be, but
horseshoes are disappearing from the

Away back in the centuries arose
the idea of a horseshoe bringing good
luck to the finder. In the early days
horseshoes were nailed up over doors.
And the reason for mailing them UP
over the portals was that they kept
the witches away" 1t was good luck
to find one that the witches might be
banned, and after belief in witchcraft
faded, the horse shoe was considered
a good omen anyhow, and from those
days to these, it has been the custom
to nail il above the door for luck. But
one must be very careful and see that

$4,000 came before courts not adapt
ed to handling children's cases. AL
though every state except one had
laws providing for juvenile probation.
less than half the courts hearing
children's cases actually had proba-
ton service.
The majority of the courts failed to
make adequate Investigation of the
child's home and family circum-
stances, his physical and mental con-
dition, and his personal tendencies.
Especially in small towns and rural
districts the child is still subjected to
the unsocialized treatment which the
Juvenile court was designed to re-
place.
However, certain important ten
