THE OLD NEST

There is coming play to one of
our local movie theatres this week,
which has had great runs in the big
cities, and which the managers think
of sufficient Importance to play for
three days in succession. The pic

both sexes. Full of the tenderest and
most thrilling scenes; with story
that never flags for moment in in
terest; with actors that have flashes
Of genius; with a plot that works out
to the satisfaction Of every one-it
is seldom that the art of the screen
is more beautifully illustrated. Dr..
Frank Crane says Of it: "One Of the

Copyright, 1879, by Edgar 4, Guest.

As l was reading a book one day
In an indolcnJ dreamy ana drowsy way,
| discovered a GrrCan tale
or a maiden fair who was standing by
EntranCei by a beautiful butterfly
Which had broken It's winter Jail
Now this very remarkable Grecian miss
Had noticed the suudering chrysaus
And the butterfly appear
And she saw that this wonderful living
thing
with the slender body and golden wing.
Was chained to the earth by fear.
He was fashioned, as butterflies always
are,
with wings 20 AIRY him near and far,
But he trembled and feared 10 fly.
Ana when It appeared TO this lovely miss
lie was crawling back in his chrysalls
She uttered a startled cry.
Get up Get up In the summer sky,
God gave YOU those wings 80 you could
fly"
The beautiful maiden said:
But the butterfly to the earth remained,
And the wings God had given him he
disdained,
So runneth the tale, l read,
How like the life OF a youth, thought l.
with a wonderful brain, afraid to try,
And chained to the earth by fear;
And ever the maiden. Success remains
Calling TO him to use his brains,
But never he seems TO hear.
