UN USUAL STORY IN
FILM PRODUC

\
Scarcely one out of each ten thousand
books published in the Nineteenth Cen
tury is read or remembered by the pres
ent generation, but those that have re-
tanned their popularity are more firmly
fixed in the affection Of the public than
any recent publication can be. Time
either efaces memories of books or hal
lows them. For this reason, stories that
have stood the test Of time are assured
of extraordinary popularity when put
into motion pictures.
Until now, the work which stands
eighth in popularity among all the books
in the world, after more than forty
years, had not been yisualized. There
seemed to be almost insurmountable diff
ticultes in the way. These, however
have been triumphantly overcome by
the Nitagraph Company in the filming
of Anna SeWell's BLACK Beauty" fam
GUS Autobiography of Horse" which
the Custer Chapter Order Eastern Star
will present at the Garlock Opera House
next Saturday, Sept 3rd
The complete story Of Black Beauty,
Ginger, Merrylegs, and the other equine
characters, as written by Anna Sewell
in the early seventies, has been faith
fully told in this picture, together with a
thrilling story of the lives of Black
Beauty's human friends and acquain-
tances. 1t promises to be one Of the
very best productions to have been
shown in Custer.

PLOT EVOLVED FROM
"EL1xIR OF YOUTH"

The plot Of the play yes. let us
call II a plot Ii an acceptable one.
In fact. II Is plot which In essence
has been accepted for many years.
II evolves from the neck OF small
bottle which contains an alleged
elixir OF youth. Circumstantiai evil
dence seems for time to prove that
the professor who has concocted the
elixir Ia really n miracle man: and
the results are humorous.
One thing can be said for the whole
play: namely, that IL requires little
effort for its enjoyment II runs
along smoothly. and IL purctuated
here and there by lines and situa-
lions calling for laughter. The dia-
log IL as obvious ms diaior can well
be. but most OF us have grown nc
customed 10 that In musical comedy.
There n nothing risque. nothing even
bordering on the scandaious. The
appeal rests wholly on the qualities
OF prcttiness and wbolesomeness. To
quote from n recent play. "thcrc In
nothing In II TO bring flush 10 the
cheek Of the most sensitive second
airy school instructress."
