'MID-(HA|VVEL IS
 AT COLUMBIA TODAY

We have been longing for a photo
 play of actual intimate human strug- gle, and at length it has come-and in
 a form that exceeds our fondest ex-
 pectations. The photodrama is Sir Ar
 thur Wing Pinero's greatest drama of
 domestic life, aptly called Mid Chan
 neP'-one of the most brilliant stage successes of Ethel Barrymore. and un- occasionally the greatest triumph of Clara Kimball Young since her first screen appearance.
 "Mid-C Channel a tbrobbing photo drama of the temptations and follies of
 married life, is so truthful to fact that
 no mature person will leave this pow erful picture without carrying away clinging memories of life's lesson. It fairly burns with intensity and sour stirring experience such as every nor tai knows it-it does not dodge the | truth-it unfolds human weakness so dramatically as to strike sympathetic chord in every heart.
 Mid Channel" opens at Mauk's Co., l lumbia theater this afternoon and will
 be featured here for the balance of the
 week. The added special features of 1 the Columbia program will include a beautiful Prisma film Illustrating the famous war poem. Where Topples
 Bioom A violin solo by Fred Bar
 low, who has selected the 'Traumerei
 l. as a fitting musical accompaniment | to Mid Channel,'' will be rendered at each evening performance and the lat I est Ford Weekly and Select News will be included with every showing for the remainder of the week.

THROUGH A WOMAN'S EYES
BY JEAN NEWTON

<, That girl is fixed for life. She needs no mother or father or husband to take care of her. She is better off than a millionaire because her wealth is the kind she cannot lose. She is one of those people we all envy who seem to be born with a golden spoon waiting for them-life will just come and lay things at her feet. Anyway, it will seem that way.
 1 Why? Because she has the magic wand that will bring things to her. Just else. She'll go to it and go through it, never minding obstacles, not getting discouraged, knowing she can do it, l fighting ts-1ing it all with the game, runtil all of a sudden she strikes it level and just sails along.
 That's the way it really is, you know-the darkest hour before the dawn. When you think things are coming about as thick and fast as you can stand you suddenly strike it level and sail along.
 | 1 couldn't help thinking of an old song we used to sing at school:
 T can run like the devil, When the road is level,
 For about 100 yards,"
 And hope and 8 prayer rose up ir my heart that these thoughtless. care free, jolly short sprinters may have trained themselves to the longer stretches where the road is not always l level to the hills and rocky bypaths of the route of life that would lead them to the glorious, open, sun kissed peaks. lCCopyright, 1921. by Public Ledger Co.,

 We were on the ice, joining the crowd that had gathered round girl who was cutting figures. circles. eights forwards, backward, at a dizzying speed.
 when somebody exclaimed: Why, don t you know her? That's the girl who Was the joke up here Last yeari"
 And then I remembered. She had come day after day with apparently no hope of ever being able to stand on he feet, to say nothing of skating. Her ankles turned so that she was laboring along really on her ankle bones rather than the runners of her skates. And the ache reached up to her eyes. Yet she persisted
 Going from one instructor to an- other. she tried everybody's advice. One man told her to have her shoes lined with leather for ankle support. The hard, stiff cowhide that the repair man glued in cut her until the blood came. But she was determined to skate. She said she knew she could.
 Then one day she went to a sporting goods store and they found the trou- ble. She had been trying to skate with low boys shoes Your ankles" they told her "are all right; but not so strong that you can afford the disad vantage of an improper shoe" She went off with the new shoes-and skatedl
 And then" she told us now, as we remarked upon her achievement. 'the rest came easy. You see I love it. that is why I persisted-I wanted so to skate. And once got started, I just naturally danced on skates!"

Blue Bird

A masquerade never fails to prove a very interesting event in dance cir cies, and when that masquerade car
 ries valuable prizes for the winners and when the prizes will be useful as well as ornamental when there are two first prizes and two second prizes then the event becomes a real attrac- tion. This is exactly what is planned in the masquerade bill to be given at the Blue Bird next Monday evening. The announcement has gone forth that this will be the most pretentious mas querade of the winter season. There are no conditions on the entrants-no one is barred-everyone is welcome, ard there will be no advance in either the price of admission or the price of danc- ing. The first prizes will be a peau- tiful ivory dresser set for the lady, ard for the gentleman a fully equipped Autostrop shaving set. The second prizes will be announced within the next day or so, but suffice it to say they will be well worth striving for. In the meantime plans are rapidly goins forward to make next Monday night one that will long be remembered by all who attend the Blue Bird.

PETER RABBITS HARD JOURNEY
 By Thornton w, Burgess

Peter Rabbit sat in the old stone wall along one side of Farmer Browns orchard waiting for Mrs. Moon to put out her light and leave the world in darkness until jolly. round, red MT. Sun should nick off his rosy bedclothes and begin his daily climb up in the blue, blue sky. In the winter Mir. Sun is late sleeper, and Peter knew that there would be two or three hours after Mrs Moon put out her light when 1t would be quite dark. And Peter knew, too, that by this time Hooty the Owl would probably have caught his din- ner. So would old Granny Fox and Reddy Fox Bowser the Hoxnd would be too sleepy to be on the watch. It would be the very safest time for Peter to try to get to his home in the dear Old Brier Patch.
 So Peter waited and waited. Twice Bowser the Hound, who had chased him into the old stone wall, came over and parked at him and tried to get al lhim, But the old stone wall kept Peter | safe, and Bowser gave it up. And all ! the time Peter sat waiting he was Tn great pain. You see Peter had been 1 caught in a snare set by Farmer Brown and around one of Peters long hind l legs was a shiny wire drawn so tight that it cut into his flesh and hurt dreadfully and to the other end or the
 wire was fastened a piece of wood part of a stake to which the snare had l been made fast, and which Peter had
 managed to gnaw and break off.
 It was on account of this that Peter
 was waiting for Mrs Moon to put out
 her light, for he knew that with that stake dragging after him he would have
 to go very slowly and he could not run any more risk of danger than he actu- ally had to. So he waited and waited, fr. YarI7 MrS put out her light. Peter waited a little longer, listening still Then Peter crept
 out of the old stone wall.
 Right away trouble began. The stake. dragging at the end of the wire fast to his leg, caught among the
 stones and pulled Peter up short. My how it did hurt, It made the tears come. But Peter shut his teeth hard, and, turning back. he worked until he
 got the stake free Then he started on
 once more dragging the stake after him.
 Very slowly across the orchard and under the fence on the other side crept Peter Rabbit, his leg so stiff and sore that he could hardly touch it to the
 snow, and all the time dragging thai piece of stake It seemed to grow heavier and harder to drag every min ute. Peter did not dare to go out across
 the open fields for fear that some dan ger might happen along and he would
 have no place to hide. So he crep along close to the fences along whfcf bushes grew, and this made it very very hard, for the dragging stake wa: forever catching in the bushes with { .. yank at the sore leg, which brought Peter up short with q squeal of pain.
 This was bad enough, but all the
 time Peter was filled with a dreadful ' fear that Hooty the Owl or Granny Fo2 might just happen along. He had t' :, stop to rest very, very often, and theI
