the cinema art has been reached

which will be seen at the Colonial

everyone wants.
The story deals with the adven-
lures of a little working girl who is
lifted from the scullery of a great
New York hotel to a life of luxury in
place, by a gang of crooks who have
learned, from q pawn-shop keeper
that the girl owns Il rare old silver
goblet which bears the crest of a dis
tinguished family of Irish nobility.
The girl doesn't know much about
Der ancestry, but her mother had told
her that the goblet was family heir
loom; the crooks pretend to represent
this family and for a time the girl is
very happy with her supposed grand
father Then the real grand
father appears, and claims not only
the cup but the girl, and the fake
jewel scheme of the crooks, to which
the girl was to be an unconscious
assistant, is foiled.

tective stories will be shown at the

taken from the experiences of the

CHANGE Celebration PLAN
Kansas Orators No Longer in Demand
on Fourth OF July.

Kansas citizens evidently have
changed their ideas on how to cele-
brate the Fourth of July. The cele-
brations in various Kansas towns this
wear consisted in baseball games,
band concerts, picnics and perhaps an
automobile race, but one feature that
was conspicuously absent was the
once famous Fourth of July orator.
Either Kansas has stopped producing
Fourth of July orators or the modern
lied idea of celebrating independence
Day has changed considerably. For
no longer is the orator who could stir
the patriotic spirit of the citizens,
once so necessary for big celebra-
ton, called for.
This fact became evident at the
state capital when state officials and
other prominent state characters were
questioned as to where they delivered
Fourth of July addresses. The only
Individual among state officials who
seemed to be in demand was Governor
Allen. who filled two speaking dates
on Independence Day, at Sabetha and
HoltOn. other state officials spent
the day quietly at home or went back
to their home towns to spend the day
with friends.
The state office of the American
Legion also evidenced the lack of de-
mand for Independence Day speakers
The state office had it's list of forty
or fifty speakers available for the
Fourth. but only one call was received
according to Frank Samuel. state ad-
tutant. The state office of the G. A.
r. also failed to have any demand for
speakers. Not a single call was re-
ceived at that office.
Perhaps the celebration commit
tees in Kansas towns decided they
could. find as good orators among
their own citizens as to go abroad and
get some of the state notables. At
least. those with the celebrating spf-
rit in Kansas sought other means to
inspire themselves than to listen to
an orator. From all indications. the
passing of the once popular fire
cracker has been accompanied by the
Fourth of July orator, to a large ex-
tent.

The Berliner Tageblatt carried a
brief announcement that peace had
been restored with the United States.
Theodore Wolff. editor of the paper.
