 There has been a great division made since the motor car came Into existence also. The division is between the class which rides and the class which lodges, the class which laughs and the class which swears at 'em, but this division Is not so clearly marked as the one have In mind.
 You are getting close to the bot tom of the column" reminded Imo- gene.
 To-day a large portion of our people slink around with their hands deep in their trousers pockets in dejection, while the unfortunate few strut through the land with head tossed high and arrogant. The great majority of our people are in tho lowest mental depths. while otherp ride in the clouds and glide along several feet above the rough places in the road of life. like a man in blissful dream. The great majority are in the depths of dank, damp. dark despair. while the other class is as iubiiant as cheer leader al chess tournament.

My. what a difference there is between people" said Imogene apropos. of something she had read In the evening paper.
 Andrew took up the hllosophical statement at once.
 T once heard an Irlshman who said; One man is as good as another and sometimes divil of q sight better
 But there is a time when class distinctions arc so clear-cut and well shown as just now" Andrew continued. "The earliest record we have of these class distinctions were along the river Jordan when the men of Gilead Killed 8 few thousand Ephriamits on account of their mis- pronunciation of the word 'shibo- leth' and from that time down to this date there have been class dis functions, and the heayyweights re- fuse to meet the bantams. but never in the line of demarcation as clear as Just at this time of the year.
 People In the army and navy have long looked on the world as divided like all Gaul. into three parts; army and navy and others, and if you don't wear gold lace on your dress coat you are in the others or also ran class. and not worthy of consideration But even the army and navy aristocraey does not hold it's head as high as the lucky people in this class which springs up at this time of the year.
 Then there IS the purse proud push who measure man by the kale he has in his kick. They think that a man who has less than seven figures in hls bank account is of no account. but even this distinction between the rich and the poor gink

"DAwN OF THE EAsT-' WITH
 ALICE BRADY AT GALAx

Dawn of the East is a fine pie ture drama, telling the story of a young and beautiful girl and her sis ter stranded in China. To escape the older sister is willing to go to all most any end and she does obtain money in a manner that causes her to be followed across the globe. She does what is a great insult. as well as crime in China, she obtains money under the pretense of betrothal to A rich Chinaman. Under ordinary cir cumstances 1t would be difficult to sympathize with this girl. but before the act her very desperation at her prodicament in China wins the sym pathy of the audience.
 The picture draws a fine contrast between oriental cunning and Ameri- can courage. The devious oriental mind forges situation seemingly impossible to face. but the American girl defeats it's plan with frankness and courage in a fine climax, which is the best and strongest moment of the story
 Dawn of the East" has both America and China for its locale. but it Is in the exotic scenes of China that the best part of the incident oc- CUTS. Here the producers have neg lected not even small detail to give the production the Chinese atmos- phere.
 Alice Brady enacts the American girl, Kenneth Harlan the American sweetheart, and the Chinese charac- ters are played by we'll known Chi nese actors.

PAULINE FREDERICK
 AT THE AICAZAR.

The, versatility of Pauline Frederick has, seldom been better exemplified than by her acting In her current triumph "The Sting of the Lash" now being seen at the Alcazar theatre.
 Motion pictures devotees who ad- mire Miss Frederick in strong roles and wide contrasts will have an op- portunity to see her at her best in "The Sting of the Lash" for her part affords her & wide range and enables her to cut loose and act.
 In the beginning of the story, for example, Miss Frederick Is a smart society woman in New York and sur rounded with all the evidences of wealth. Then the scene shifts to the west. She is married and her hus- band is an idler. His neglect and mlstreatment and the hum drum ex- istence she is compelled to live with | him shatter her hopes but she | fights on. The production unreels many big scenes. but the main climax comes when the wife, her heart torn and twisted by months of abuse. | seizes a lash and whips her husband | to the point of exhaustion while he is bound helpless by rope swung over a rafter in the ceiling.

Little Lord Fauntleroy," the fa- nous childs story of Frances Hodg- son Burnett is being shown in pie ture adaptation at the Strand this week with dainty little Mary Pick ford in the role of little Lord Faun- tleroy. This story known as a child's story is produced in the picture form with an appeal to any age.
 Mary Pickford can only be de- scribed by the much used but effec- tive word, adorable. She is Cedric" the little lord. with all of his mis- chievous pranks, and a lovable way that wins the hardest of hearts and spreads joy about the gloomy old cas- tie that is irresistible even to the gouty old Earl grandfather. Miss Pickford makes Cedric very human, boyish boy. with real boys walk. and one real fight when the ugly It, tie would be usurper of the earldom comes to the castle. Aside from Ced- ric, there are all of the quaint figures and characters brought to life again.
