LITTLE NELL

Oh Nellie was a pretty girl and
playful as kitten, she broke a heart
easy passing day by handing out the
mitten; It mattered little what she
drew, just so he had the kale, she
kidded all from millionaires to Jail
birds in the Jail. Her dress, it struck
her round the knees, and when she
mounted cars, professors from the
clintic gawked and thought no more
of Mars. Yes, Nellie was a pretty
girl, and well did Nellie know that
when she hit the boulevard, she out
classed any show. All afternoon her
telephone rang out new invitations to
spread the joy throughout the town
and create new flirtations. Some
who giving wife the slip, would take
nights she dined with moneyed men
sweet Nellie out to lunch and kiss
those loving lips. At other times she
picked poor birds who didn't have
dime, with loving dispositions SO they
had a pleasant time. Suffice to say,
she FED 'em all and you'd have said
at sight, the girl sure plays wicked
hand and she'll land one alright"
And land she did, she got hooked up
to one, laboring man, and they had
not been rived two weeks when he re-.
ceived his can. She went To work at
pounding keys to win the needed
bread and folks around the town ex-
claimed: "she's dizzy in the head.
Now two years later in her life two
children had appeared, and she was
left to care for them, her husband
robbed, then cleared. Is this story
of hard luck, of games that's played
by fate, not so, she didn't perish, SO
erase that from your slate. Her un-
Gle died on Broadway, another died
in Leans, and left our Nellie pot Of
jack with which to buy her beans.

100000 RADIO FANS
RECEIVE SCENARIO
LESSON BY WIRELESS

"a famous author critic has said
that movie actors should be seen and
not heard"
He should have further added
that scenario writers should be heard
and not SEEN"
1t was diminutive and wise Anita
Loos, noted photo-dramatist, lectur-
ing some 100000 radiophone "bugs"
scattered throughout the United
States and Canada the other night
on how to master the art of scenario
writing.
Anita was talking into the trans
mitter of WIZ, the Westinghouse
Electric company's broadcasting sta
ton at Newark, New Jersey.
Listening in and absorbing snatch
es of the talk at Chicago, Constance
Talmadge, having completed the
filming of "The Primitive Lover
for First National release, and head
ed for New York, was thrilled.
For Connie, like Anita, is a wire
less fan and has not been a bit
lonely since making Los Angeles her
producing headquarters, because she
has little radiophone in her room,
which brings the whole world crowd
ing into her white stucco home by
the mere setting of dial and the
turning of switch.
Be her mood whatever it may, the
wireless telephone is as responsive as
a needle to a magnet. Sometimes it
is grand opera, with the incompara-
bic strains of MADAME Butterfly"
filing the room. Yet again it is a
chatty little talk to a friend thous-
and miles away. And another time it
may be the jazziest kind of jazz con-
cert.
In her talk from Newark to the
wireless fans, Miss Loos, who also
has a radio set in her home, gave
some pointers on scenario writing
and told how she herself, had had a
disheartening struggle before she at
tanned success, finally reaching the
peak of achievement with the Con-
stance Talmadge comedies. She de-
MED that only genius could succeed
at photoplay writing, declaring:
Surely among the 100000 people
who, the operators tell US, will get
this message, is at least one who is
going to do big things in the movie
world. He or she, is the person who
is going to take scenario writing as a
serious profession, who realzezs that
this embryo writer or, we hope,
writer's, that Pm going to talk. The
rest of you are eavesdropping.
Don't think for moment that /
mean that only genius can succeed
at scenario writing. If that were
true, we should indeed have "fewer
and better pictures, say, at the pres
ent birth rate of genius, about one
every few months or SO.
81 shouldn't dare to advise a gen
Jus. He or she would need no help
from me. But genius is SO terribly
rare! So just let this be little talk
by one who has gotten away with
murder to her brother and sister
writers who wish to do the same.

into fame in the movies in the course

A LESSON FROM THE
MAIL ORDER HOUSES

Lawrence, Kan, March 10.-The
small city merchants can take les
son from the mail order house, said
Miss Ruth Leigh of Brooklyn, N. Y,
speaking at the Merchants Short
Course at the University of Kansas
this week.
"The mail order houses have a
definite description of what they
have to SELL" she said, "and this is
something the average clerk fails to
do. A definite selling point is always
brought out in the mail order cata-
logue,"
Miss Leigh advised salespeople to
learn about the goods they are SELL
ing, so they can give a good impress
sion of it.

hear that nearly everyone makes
good overnight, and then to find that
at the end of half years work,
he hasn't sold single story. Don't
let them worry you with that kind of
bunk"
"The difficulty with most amateur
plots" continued Miss Loos, sis that
they are undramatic. Nothing hap
pens in them. They lack what play
wrights call suspense; there is no
real dramatic conflict between OPP
posing elements. There are plots
which make splendid novels or short
stories, but which would never do for
stage or screen because they are not
of the dramatic type.
"The types of stories most in de-
mand are romantic melodramas and

Already the majority OF It's bran

Rectore's Former Castle School Instructor Another
 Drawing Card

In spite of extremely cool weather for a part of this week during the evening hours, Edsewood Park played to far more dance couples for the first week of this season than was the case the first week last year Manager Hugh Hill attributes the big increase to the fact that he en- gaged the celebrated Watson's Bell Hops for the first three weeks of the season, and also to the fact that he engaged George W. Rectores, formerly of Mir. and Mrs. Vernon Castles school of dancing. as instructor and floor manager and Mrs. Rudy of At lantic City as chaperone.
 These three things. coupled with the enlargement of the dance floor space and the elaborate decorations have started Dreamland dance pavi- lion on the biggest season in its career. and every night this week with the exception of Monday night, Watson's Bell Hops will furnish the music for five of the biggest dances ever staged in the Birmingham dis trict within one time. The Bell Hops know their stuff. and there's no get ting around that fact. They know how to put 1t over with perfect time and all the frills in the deck.

edge to good purpose in his primary campaign. He told exactly how things were being done in the state capital and announced that he would do exactly the opposite. So the peo- pie of the state have decided to string along with him.
 The Pennsylvania situa ton brought about by the nomination of Pinchet for governor has a distinct interest to Washington. In the first place, the Pinchots have a very hand some home here, so Washington will be a sort of secondary Pennsylvania capitol when he Is elected.
 Apart from this, however, is the close personal and political affilia- tion of Pinchot with Senator George Wharton Pepper. The Pinchot- Pepper combination is one with which the political leaders of Pennsylvania will have much to do in the next four years. It is destined to dominate re- publican affairs in the Keystone State.
 It will be recalled that Senator Pepper was Pinchot's personal at torney in the famous Ballinger-Pin- chot controversy and investigation which helped to bring the adminiss Ol dll CioS6 lO lne rocks. To this controversy was attributed largely the alienation of Theodore Roosevelt from the Taft standards, and the subsequent sett- ing up of the third party.
 Pinchot, as governor, will feel un- der no obligations to MT. Sproul. He defeated the Sproul candidate in the governors own county. Senator Pepper was appointed by Governor Sproul when Penrose died, but now he, too. has won his spurs at the polls and has & real as we'll as an implied independence.
 The mating on the floor and the big fly-fans suspended from the ceiling in the Senate look cool but ominous.

a Presbyterian and has been in his place thirteen years. He stated that of the 250 professors all but fifteen were church members. That none criticized the Bible or religion and only one criticized the church, and he Is an ex-minister.
 In the University of Kansas and that of Missouri about the same re- suits. There was no complaint on the infidel professor.
 We know that in many universities the stronger denominations have a student pastor located in a church on the campus or near to it to care for the spiritual interest of the students who are away from their church homes-M. E., Disciples Episcopal fans, Baptists and the Presbyterian, U. s. A., have student pastors in 43 state universities. The student body was never so well provided with gos- pei means of grace.
 The editor of high school quarter ly at Athens, Ga, recently took the religious census of public institutions of educa ton in eleven southern states. From fourteen of these institutions in these eleven states, he found that ninety-five hundredths of the faculty were church members and not an in- fidel among them. That 75 per cent of the student body were church mem bers; that 75 DOT cent of high school graduates entering college were church m members.
 As Tennessee was not included in the eleven states, the state supervisor of schools sent inquiries to the five state colleges and 145 high schools as to their religious standing. There were ninety-eight answers from high schools and the colleges.
 It has sixty-two members of the faculty; of this number sixty are church members. Students in tho col lege course are about 907; of this number S60 are church members. All are required to attend chapel twice week.
 There are 161 In the faculty; of this number there are 159 church mem bers. Only two are not connected with some church.
 The total number of students in the five state schools of higher education is about 2.S00. and 2s000 are church members. There are 575 teachers in state high schools and 56S are church members. Of the 10,7o0 high school students there are 7.346 church mem- bers.
 I submit, 10 far as investigation has been made. there is no cause for alarm or complaint but cause for gratitude and thankfuIness to God and the teachers.

Carlowville it is still impolits to en- quire of ones host or hostess how they expect to entertain. once the invitation for entertainment has been accepted We of course expected this rule to hold good when the council accepted our invitation.
 AS ito the controversies Carlowville knows little and cares less. She still holds faith enough to believe that God will attend His business despite the machinations of man. and the election of a bishop co-adjutor is ana always has been Gods business not even the bishop having the right to name his colleague. and at Carlow vile 1t Is felt that there is no better place to do Gods work than in a place where folks try to be just folks without contention and without strife.
 We have no hotels, we have no railroad office and as you say not even a post office or telegraph office and we night even add we have not even store, but we know that Gods business can be attended to by those who come just the same.
 To those who are coming from out of the nowhere into the here, we would say that we are served by four daily mail trains and have access to the other modern conveniences ne- cessary to the enjoyment of our Mrban brethren, and that all delegates who come will find their needs well sup piled.
