VIRGINIA DIVISION u. C.. v.
MEETS

The thirty-ffth annual reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans,
Virginia Division, is being held this
year at Winchester, Va, beginning
today. Among the events of interest
on the program of the reunion are a
reception at the home of Captain

veterans, sponsors, delegates, and
maids; a sightseeing ride to all
points of interest in and around
Winchester; and a smoker for the

ans of the Confederate army in at
tendance at the reunions becomes
smaller and smaller each time as the
years go by, but the Winchester

this reunion particularly enjoyable.

at sea, we hear the sound of bugle.
Sometimes the cause is natural. These
last four years have heard the
bugles of the army. When there is
a natural cause at hand, the mysteri-
GUS trumpeter utters his notes in that
way. At other times, once or twice,
I have heard the notes of bugle
when no natural cause could have
accounted for them. I say it with
utter certainty, with the last power
of belief that is in me. have heard
that trumpeter when no one else
could have heard him, and when no
one else did hear him.
"He does not always come on the

shall hear him, I know. If were to
flee into the heart of forest, where
no other footstep has ever trodden,
I shall hear the sound at the appointed
time. I shall hear him if leave the
city or no. 7 shall hear him, if re-
turn to camp, in the bugles of our
regiment but even if remain in my
own home, in the heart of the city,
where no bugle is ever sounded, shall
hear him too.
''No one knows clearly this legend
of the trumpeter, but from what is
known they call him the Trumpeter
of the Rescue. They tell that once,
many, many generations ago, our
family was a family of warriors, in
another country, not far from here.
They were famous not only for their
prowess on the battlefelds and in the
knightly lists, but they shone in the
schools and in the court with equal
lustre.
"The legend tells further that their
power came to them through a magic
talisman, which had been handed down
within the family since the very
creation of the world. This talisman
was as beloved of our family as it was
hated of our enemies. Every artifice
which the cunning Of man could sug-
gest, our enemies had attempted, in
order to wrest the talisman from US.

but they would deprive us of it's

from no one knows. Perhaps he came
from Bretagne or from Burgundy.
But this is, sure; though we have
lived in Gascony ever since, he was

''There is neither rhyme nor reason
in the legend. We were never
family of poets; there is nothing
poetical in our records. With this one
incomprehensible exception, we were

agitated by now. He rose suddenly
to his feet, put his crutch under his
arm and said: "Let us go on. We
will go home: The rest will tell you

They went out into the sunny street,
and walked on slowly.
''In my family" said the French
men, "there is no record of warriors
or of statesmen or of scholars. From
the beginning of our records, here, in
this city, we have been, with few ex-

The Diary Of a Professional Movie Fan
John Barrymore Answers Foolish
Questions.
BY GLADYS HALL.

When I think of the questions I
would like to ask John Barrymore
the personal questions. I mean-I
fairly turn into a human interrosa-
tion point. But one of the famous
Johns pet aversions is to say any
thing about himself that Is likely to
appear in print-even in a private
diary. Although, John notwithstand-
ing. would like to have a dime for
every girl who keeps a private diary
wherein is recorded the name Of John
Barrymore. Or SO they tell me!
However. he did condescend to say
few words about the screen. He
was provoked into speech by foolish
question ten trillion. We had the
word with him just after he had COM
pleted sherlock Holmes" Some one
asked him what he thought makes a
successful picture. what makes a
successful picture?" he repeated
why, the same thing that makes
good play makes a good picture. and
II an actor only knew what that was
he'd know everything there is to
know"
He has the most sensitive hands 1
have ever seen. One night, in a thea
ter, I happened to look over my
shoulder, and I saw a hand dropping
somewhat over the arm of the chair,
into the aisle. I didn't look farther
than the hand. That's John Barry

Michael Strange, his wife. And they
whispered, head to head. amusedly.
throughout the whole of a tedious
and supposedly tragic performance.
But to pictures again:
DO you miss your audience in
making a picture?" he was asked.
'In taking a picture" he said, "of
cours one loses the immediate stimu-
lus OF an audience. and this lack of
stimulus one has to bring out of ones
own self. The difficulty is to sustain
mood without the immediate re-
sponse. It is, in fact, like painting
q picture that you know is some day
going to be exhibited. One has to
crystalline the thing in ones mind.
IAN enormous amount of the suc-
cess of picture depends upon the
director. He Is the middleman be-
tween the actor and the public. His
position Is vital one. inasmuch rs
everything an actor does has to pass
through the crucible Of the directors
intelligence"
What do you think Of the future
OF motion pictures?"
The motion pictures Is bound to
grow because 1t offers such vast op-
portunities and has unlimited possi-
bilities. AS pictures improve in type,
sowill the moving-picture public grow
and respond. accordingly"
John Barrymore plans, he says. to
