Of the theatre.
The popularity OF the photoplay at
the Capitol, and the enthusiasm
shown for it by the reviewers Of the
New York newspapers, was such that
B. B. Moss then booked it for run
at his Cameo theatre. 1t remained
there for nearly three months-eleven
weeks, to be eXact-after which it
was transferred to a third Broad

where it was shown for another
week.
The reason for the great popular

At this season Of the year l cannot
get my mind on anything but the lit
tie children who might have to do
without a visit from Santa Claus.
When ones one has anything that
will make for happiness it is natural
to think of those less fortunate.
Yesterday a bright-faced little girl
called TO see Miss Leila Abercrombe
and told her that now she was going
to have a good Christmas for her
mother had a job in laundry all OF
this week. Miss Leila asked heF
what she wanted Santa Claus to brlng
her and she said it was a PAIR OF
skates she wanted bat her mother
told her that Santa would not nave
any skates this year, so the AttIe g4rl
now wants a new wig for her last
years doll.
Just think OF this little glTi want
ing only a wig to make her yeaf-oid
dol, more attractive, and all around
her are men and women with every
thing fit for kings and queens.
Of course we are not going to per
nit the little boys and girls TO DO
without TOYS and other things that
make the heart glad. but think what
wo,,ld happen If there were to be
more boys and girls than the ST
Nicholas Girl plans for. the only
thing we know is that there are more
demands than ever before and at
this time the funGS are not UP 70 the
standard of former years.
There are other Christmas move
ments quite as worthy as the st
Nicholas Girl, and we must help them
all.

Comment on Subjects IN Which You
May or May Not Be Interested
About People You Know and Ought
to Know.
BY BYRAN MACK.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1922-12-21

For a number of years there has
been more or less talk about moving
the state capitol from Tallahassee. I
thought yesterday that during the
night while l had been asleep that
they had moved the capitol to Pensa-
cola, for almost everyone 1 met was
from Tallahassee. There was Col.
Fred Myers and George Perkins,
Judge Ovum and Frank Winthrop
and Dexter Lowry and Leonard Low
ry, and goodness knows how many
more failed to see.
Tallahassee has some Of the finest
people in the world, and that was
fine representa- ton here in one day.
All of the old timers recall when Col
onel Myers ran for congress against
W. B. Lamar, and came near to cleo
ton. He has always been consider
ed one of the states ablest lawyers
and finest citizens.
George Perkins is not only a law
yer. but a capitalist, and I hesitate
to talk about capitalists. He built
for Tallahassee one Of the finest golf
courses in the south, and is an alto
gether good citizen.
Judge Ovum is said to be the hard
est worker of any lawyer in Florida.
IL
successful lawyers are hard workers,
but Judge Ovum is one man who can
be absorbed in his work, yet have
time enough to make warm friends.
He is a railroad lawyer. and a good
one.
DR.. Murphree, president Of the
University of Florida, said that Frank
Winthrop was the brightest boy that
ever went to school to him. l have
often wondered what a complete sue
cess Frank would have been had he
been compelled to work for living.
He is a good lawyer, but like quite a
number of wealthy persons, he doesn't
have to practice law to keep the wolf
away from the door. Frank is a
great sportsman and a genuinely fine
man.
Dexter Lowry was formerly mayor
Of Tallahassee and afterward state
senator: was talked of as a possible
candidate for governor and many
wanted him to run, for congress, but
Deck decided he would be a banker
instead, and I believe he will find it
more profitable, even if he doesn't
have as much fun as he would in
political campaign.
Leonard Lowry isn't related to Dex-
ter Lowry so far as I have ever heard.
He is just a regular Florida cracker,
and is at the present time working
with the hotel commission. Leonard
saws the hotel commission has fine
report OF its activities to make to the
next session OF the legislature. I
know the commission has improved
hotel facilities in the state, and it is
a very necessary part of the state
government.

ALL HOMES MUST HAVE

Householders Are Given Four
Months In Which to Comply
With p. o. Order.

Instructions have been received by
Postmaster English TO require all
householders within four months TO
install mail boxes or cut slots in doors
to facilitate the delivery OF mail The
instructions from First Assistant
Postmaster General Bartlett state
that such OF those who do not meet
the requirement may have the de-
livery of their mail discontinued.
"On account of delays caused TO
carriers at dwelling houses where no
door slot or mail receptacle IS pro-
vided and the fact that large ma
jority OF dwellings are thus equipped
already" the assistant postmaster
generals instructions said. st seems
timely. within a reasonable period, to
require all who are to receive mail
by street carriers at their dwellings
TO provide such accommodations, the
expense Of the same being small. The
length of the notice should not exceed
four months, although there may be
exceptional cases where postmaster
should use reasonable discretion or
ask for instructions"
Mr.. Bartlett estimated that more
than 20 per cent of the dwelling hous-
es of the country now have mail re-
ceptacles.
According TO the local postoffice Of
ficlals. the number Of houses that
have receptacles for mail is less thar
20 per cent.

Weekend Developed No New Phase In
This Section.

The local strike situation presented
no new phase today. Labor officials
claimed that they are holding their
own and gaining slightly in strength,
while the railroad officers in this dis
trict claim that there has been no
change whatever in the past week.
Last week two men representing
themselves az members of the local
shop crafts who are on strike ap-
preached merchants Of the city with
a cigar box and asked for contribu-
tions for the strikers. They were
without credentials, according to union
officials. The shopmen reported the
matter to the police and the latter
have been on the lookout for the men.
