Fayette, Iowa-Peter Banning
of Fayette died Saturday morning
without an instant's warning. He
was well-lrown in the city, having
lived in town about twenty-five
years, coming here with his family
from Winneshiek county. As was his
custom, Mr. Banning started about
5 o'clock a. IN. on his milk route east
of town. He had almost made the
rounds. As the team arrived at the
Alfred Homewood farm about a mile
east of town, now occupied by the
Mac Pattison family, they turned as
usual into the yard but no driver
was visible, and it was found that
Mr.. Banning had pitched forward
partially out of the wagon onto the
whiffletrees. The doctor was called
but life was extinct. Mr.. Banning
has been feeling poorly for some
time with heart trouble.

THIS STAR UNAFRAID OF
TALENTED SIrPpORI

The old days when stars sometimes
used to hire incompetent support in
order that their own cleverness might
shine more brightly have passed to the
realm of forgotten things in photo
drama.
Or at least so says May McAvoy,
star of Everything For Sale" which
opens at the Alta Theatre for two days
beginning Sunday.
1T is hard to understand how lead
ing players could ever have wished to
be surrounded by poor support, in
order to give further emphasis to their
own ability said the charming little
person who made "Grizel' of "Senti-
mental Tommy so justly famous.
Acting is so greatly matter of CO.
operation, of response of the inter-
locking characters Of the story, that
proper dramatic Interpretation can
never be made by one or two persons
alone. 1t must be composite of sew
eral individuals all of whom have
something real to contribute"
Everything for Sale" is by the au-
thor of THE Cheat" one of the most
successful photoplays ever written and
the first original screen story ever
made into a grand opera. 1t was di-
rected by Frank O'Connor under the
personal supervision of the author.
