MAY ALLISON AT GALAx
IN "THE LAST CARD"

The best thing, about THE Last
Card" starring May Allison, at the
Galax this week. Is the strong hoid
il gets on the attention of the au-
dience. The plot, which concerns the
old idea of circumstantial evidence,
1. +raated in new way here, and
the device that finds the guilty party
is so ingenious that the idea loses
It's age and makes strikingly IN
Lteresting story of the mystery type.
Nav Allison is cast as woman .,
a very brave and courageous hinu
who works all alone to prove that ner
husband is innocent. In the en'ne
nroduction Miss Allison throws her-
sa1f very much into the role which
odds greatly to the interest and SIN
ceritv of the picture as whole. Ine
star Is more than usually good N
the tense moments when she appies
Der own device on the man Whom she
believes guilty and wins.
THE story as a whole has NUMBER
~ nretty settings and Miss Aiilsoh
wears some very charming HocnS'
though the story calls for little dis-
play being Of mystery appeal. ms
last Card" will be shown throue-
Wednesday, with the opening on
Thursday of 1.-THE Call OF the North,
with Jack Holt, which is one OF mo
most talked of appearances.

Creeks have played a tremendous
part in every one of our champion
ships. professional and amateur, but
devotees of the sport, following in
the galleries, perhaps have seldom
observed the fact. Players who have
can speak eloquently of the first hole
at Brae Burn, Boston, which is a
splendid creek hole, and which had
lot more to do with the cham
pionship, 1 can assure you, than ever
showed on the surface of things.
Another of the very finest creek
holes in America, l think, is hole No
of the Detroit Country club. This
hole has, incidentally, an unusual rec
ord in championship play. The hole
is a one shotter with the creek SO
confronting the player that it makes
wonderful hazard when coupled, as
1t is, with the necessity for clearing
it and at the same time so judging
the shot as not to go beyond the
green. In the national amateur
championship in 1915 Bob Gardner of
Chicago, made this hole in one

best one in existence.
Olympia Fields, Chicago, is fine
example of good golf architecture as

Holes and 9 of the st. Louis
Country club. where this years ANA
teur championship was held, are the
country's best examples, 1 think, of
difficult creek holes. How difficult
they are may be understood when it
is cited that two or three of this
country's very best amateur golfers
failed to qualify for match play be-
cause of the difficulties they encouu-
tered at these creeks. Davidson Her
ron was one of these. Many players
thought these holes were really too
stiff, but this course is meant to
be a testing course in every sense

supposed to be able to weather such

err" Unusual characterization as
vamping detective in her newest pic
ture As a female detective who en-
cages in the novel occupation of res
cuing unwary males from designing
and unacceptable women, being
shown all this week at the Alcazar.
Miss Dana Is at her best In such
a picture, as it gives her every OPP
portunity to exercise to the full that
vivacity and characterization for
which she is noted. The story itself
is away from the beaten path of the
usual movie entertainment and is
staged In a way to keep the audience
In suspense until the last scene.
In the role of Jane Morgan, Miss
Dana plays the part of girl who,
successful in stealing other girls
sweethearts. starts into making that
her professional calling. Her first
case involves her in untangling the
mix-ul of father and son and in
unearthing the schemes of the de-
signing females some extremely IN
teresting problems are created.
Miss Dana portrays the character
with enthusiasm and understanding.
Jack Perrin as Thomas Butler, Jr.,
furnishes good representation OF
lively rich young man, while Edward
Jobson is the typical homogeneous
bered father. Others in the cast are

THE QUICK THINKER
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE Copyright. 1921. by Frank Cranel

It takes all sorts of people to make world Some think slowly but surely they get around tosa conclusion after while and sometimes when 1t IS too late some think quickly their mind dartng like sparrow And of course very many do not think at a at least not to speak of.
 Among the statesmen of Europe M. Briand ranks high quick thinker He thinks, as we say, on his
 There many speakers who confused and embarrassed by an interruption, particularly by an mpertlnent question. But to such mind as M Br1ands that sort of thing seems to act as stimuant. a-
 Lloyd George has the sort of mentality. There is place he to be happier than the foorof parliament, with the opposition asking all sorts of i'm pudent questions making speech to his constituents where the heckling is lively.
 Thinking on ones feet seems to be natural gift than accomplishment to be acquired although doubtless here also practice makes perfect It shows an adroit mind not necessarily strong one.
 All argument is a sort of dextrous hght-rope walking or ground and lofty tumblng It rarely con vinces It only shows that you cannot be cornered.
 It is very needful for politician. For 1t is the sence of quick adjustment and politicians task is not to make come to pass what ought to be- but to adapt himself to what is and do the best he can with it.
 We ought not to dispise this quality. It is needed. It is quite essential that somebody see that we get along that somebody ultimate duty and ideal
 Very often the quick thinker makes his best dis coveries and leaps to his most important decisions the spur of the moment and under the excitement of debate He needs the exharaton of conflict to do his best work
 In war not only is careful planning necessary and long and serious preparation but also the commander who can quickly alter his plan of campaign to meet sudden emergencies
 In all crises whether in military forensic con- test or in affairs of business the man who can and who dares make quick decisions has the advantage anywhere-in prize fight debate, a business con- ference, battle-count for more than mere mass or slow-moving force.
 At least they are better for the immediate issue, and with the politician such MT. Lloyd George M Briand it is the immediate issue that matters. The public quickly forget, and whether the political leader consistent does not go for so much as for him to be clever resourceful and ready to propose something :. plausible to do now.

in academic painting Anyone en- dowed with the vision of { painter might, as Mir. Anderson suggests, find that technique would cramp his style
 With this Mir. Throckmorton does not agree. Handling of color. he says, is not dependent alone on vision. A painter may see clearly in his mind the exact tints he wishes to repro duce but getting them out of the palette Is another problem.

 After studying the Anderson pie lures this artist found the purely ab- stract .cubist pictures the most praiseworthy. Where the novelist
 merely painted a realistic tree or compromised by painting objects in
 t-impressionistic manner, his
 lack of technique became glaring.
 Almost any amateur could do similar work.

 That the had conspred to throw worlds baseball series had been proved beyond doubt; that they had received money for doing also proved; their confessions eight months allowed to go into the evidence.
