play. 1t is not surprising that Madge
Bellamy. sensing the new turn in af-
fairs. should play the title role in a
movie version Of the old story, Lorna
Doone"
1t is doubtful that Miss Bellamy
will create much interest in the re-
vival of costume romance by her work
in Lorna Doone." The main trouble
seems to be that it fails at any time
to get on a human basis. All the char
acters at times appear to do the op-
posite to what is human. There is
nothing IN this movie which will
warm ones blood or imagination.
Lorna DOone" is a pretty picture,
quaint, clean but all the characters
appear to be ghosts instead Of hu-
man beings. Miss Bellamy is always
so sweet to behold, really too sweet at
times. Most Of the scenery is natural
as the mountains streams and falls
are used. 1t is not necessary to relate
the story as nearly every home has its
copy.

/ memories of the old days rushed up
I on me when 1 saw the screen version
| of this old melodrama. Sure 1t Is
/ full Of melodrama and mighty
''meller" at times. There is lot OF
slap stick comedy, such as the
courtin' of Aunt Matilda bg two old
| bachelors Of the village but it's
wholesome and genuine fun. The
reason this old play has lived these
many years is that it is clean and
full Of homespun comedy.
This old play brings every man
and women just a little nearer to
his childhood days. 1t makes one
dust off the cobwebs Of time and
makes us all think of home. Many
of the situations are impossible. but
that down on the farm" atmosphere
causes much Of the theatricalism of
the story to vanish.
Theodore Roberts gives us a real
Uncle Josh. Theodore seems to have
been Uncle Josh from the very be-
ginning. Uncle has a tough time of
II until the villain is caught and JUS
tice triumphs, but he knew that
every cloud has it's silver lining. I
believe this grand old man Of the
screen will be remembered as Uncle
Josh. II IS his truest characterize
ton.
George Fawcett, another man who
knows how to act. is cast as Eph
HolbroOk. T. Roy Barnes is Happy
Jack. a professional tramp, and Har-
rison F'prd Is Reuben. our small
town hero. Ethel Wales is Aunt
Matilda. who Is courted for years by
two men. There are many others N
the cast.
The big climax Of the movie is
the storm scene. 1 don't know where
the director captured this miniature
cyclone, but it is a dandy Speak
ing Of realism. here it is at sixty
mile pace.
Am mighty glad The Old Home
stead" is on the screen. 1t takes us
all right back home. This picture

OF the injunction arguments to be

Fish Pond Holds Its
 73d Annual Singing

Goodwater, May 11.-tSpecial.)- On last Sunday was held the seven ty-third annual singing al Fishpon1, which is located in the eastern part of Coosa county. This singing was established on first Sunday in May. 1s4s, by the late Albert c. Holloway one of the greatest singers produced in this section of the country for the past century. For 63 years the founder of this singing conducted the singing himself. Before his death he requested his old singing friend, John W. Johnson, to conduct the singing as long IS he lived, which he did for six years. and then he, too, passed a1 to join his old friend beyond MT. Johnson was a noble singer and good man, and was honored by his county by being elected for two terms to the office of representative in the Alabama legislature, where he dis charged his official duties well. After his death the annual singing has been held under the leadership of Ed Harris and Ellis Johnson of that community. For all these years the singing has not been interrupted by weather wars or other hinderances.
 Fishpond is Primitive Baptist church settlement. with a large mem bership and for nearly century has been an important factor in the so- cial and religious life of that section of Coosa county, and western Talla- peosa county. Some of - the most noted divines of the Primitive Bap- tist church have occupied the pulpit of this church. At the present time Rev. Shaddix is the pastor of the church.
 At each of these singings lesson or so is conducted in the Christian harmony. In this book is found song named "Fishpond," in honor of this place. Many pieces of music were composed by the founder of this singing and some of them are in the Christian harmony.
 In Fishpond community and sur rounding territory are found many relatives of the late Albert G. Hollo- way and John w. Johnson and not a singing is held without some fond recollection and mention are made of these departed singers.
 On last Sunday a number of lead CTS were present who led a lesson and the following are some of them: Ed Harris, Ellie Johnson, Ellie Adams, Thomas Spraggins, W. H. Smith, Frank Burden, Garves Rob inson and Prof. J. M. Pearson and others.
 w. l.. Waters, Alexander City, made a talk on the history of the singing, giving personal experiences and knowledge for something like 50 years.
