Catholic Daughters
to Establish Fund

At a recent meeting of the mem
bers of Court Reina Christina, Cath
Ole Daughters of America, it was de-
cided to establish a memorial fund to
be used in honor on Miss Mary B.
Brady, a member of the court who
was fatally injured by an automobile
on April Is.
Miss Brady was a member of the
Visiting Nurses association staff and
because of the great interest she had
in her work, it was thought fitting to
extend the proceeds of the fund in
such a way that it might be of benefit
to the poor sick among whom she
loved to work. Therefore each year
on April Is. the expenses of one Wis
iting Nurse will be paid by the inter-
est from the Mary B. Brady Memorial
fund.
In speaking of the deceased nurse,
Mrs. John Lavey, regent of the court,

great loss not only to our court but
to the community at large. She was

Little Lucille stepped back and
shook her golden locks. This was her
first lesson III negro superstition. She
never forgot it. The same Lucille LIE
Verne is now the Lucille LIE Verne of
stage fame, noted for her exquisite
Interpretation of negro character
parts.
Miss LIE Verne's sympathetic knowl-
edge of the negro nanny and of ne
gro superstition makes her especially
fitted to play the parts she so won
derfully interprets.
The old colored servant of the
Memphis home was monarch of all
she surveyed. Her word was law and
she took a particular fancy to little
Lucille. Nanny believed in ghosts,
signs, charms, hauntS and all the sub
tects of superstition, born OF ignor-
ance. Lucille was her apt pupil and
in her youthful ignorance she be-
foot was good luck and that a pin
should never be picked from a floor
when the point faced in a certain d.
rection. Nanny believed in all these
signs and hundreds lof others that she
thought would keep 'thooddo" away
from her.
Many the story of ghosts and
haunts were told and many a night
Lucille crawled beneath the covers
of her bed, sobbing Historically in
deathly fear of the imaginary spirits
created by her mammy's weird tales.
The little southern girl soon was
able to recount the stories told her
in the peculiar co1ored dialect.
Nanny poured out all her troubles,
her trials and tribulations, her fears,
her beliefs. AS Lucille soon grew she
symphathized with her nanny and
thus was born in her the sympathy
for the negro thus was created the
beginning of a wonderful career.
In "On the Stairs" a powerful
melodrama by William Hurlbut, Miss
LeVerne is at. her best in the touch
ing yet comic part of Luella. the old
colored servant of the Carol family.
Here she bursts forth with all the
negro superstition; here she plays the
part of a treu neress; an emotional
part that brings out all her wonder

Strand Attraction

What is without a doubt the most
intense dramatic scene ever offered
on the screen is shown in the Uni
v~ersal-Jewel attraction, THE
Storm now at the Strand theatre.
Picture the possibilities of this stu
alton. Two men and a girl snow
bound for four months in a lonely
mountain cabin, the men both mad
ly in love, a rivalry that has turned
their friendship into deadly hatred,
yet friends still-on the surface
for the sake of the girl.
One of the two men was honestly
entitled to his belief of returned
love, but fearing to speak because
of his shyness; the other, a bold
Lothario, trying with all his cum
ming to win her by promises of
wealth and position, telling her by
every word and look that if she
spucned him he would kill his rival
with no more conjunction than he
would one of the bowling beasts
that lurked at the cabin door.
With their rations exhausted and
food supplies weeks overdue. it is
apparent to all that one of the men
must make the trip to the trading
post or face starvation. A deck of
cards is extended, each man cuts.
glances at his card, the woodsman
wins; again they are cut, and the
Lothario smiles with victory; a
pause, the cards are extended for
the third and final cut, both draw,
one smiles the other goes white
which one lost? This is only one
of the big moments in the piece.
There are two especially magnifi-
