Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-05-10

In motion pictures he has crushed
human hearts as ruthlessly as be
might crush a blade of grass on the
hillside. As a host, Robert McKim,
the screens most realistic villain, is q
charming gentleman.
The characters that Mr.. McKim has
portrayed in pictures are of a type
that stand III as the ace of bad
hombres." He has killed hundreds of
characters in the nine years that he
has been playing 'heavies," he has a
sneering smile that frightens little
children and makes women hate him.
Men admire him for his daring and
because he's hard" Off the stage his
smile is friendly and contagious. His is
an appealing personality, because his
talk is straight from the shoulder and
he looks at you with his steady brown
eyes as though to measure you thor
oughly. And although you feel, after
you have been with him a little while,
that he has you catalogued, you do not
have any sense of u~neasiness, but
rather one of understanding.
With Pantages Show
Mr.. Mckim arrived in Great Falls
Monday night from Canadian cities to
appear in a one-act dramatic skit, THE
Retake," headlining this weeks Pan
tages vaudeville show. Interviewed in
his hotel room shortly after his ar
rival, he showed no signs Of being tired
or restless from travel, but was well
his n friendly, his
smile a welcome, a perfect host. The
reporter liked his brand of cigarettes.
Asked about the parties and wild
life of Hollywood, Mr.. Mckim laughed.
Wild life in Hollywood is a joke"
he said. There are no cafes in Holly
that are scenes of gayety or
hilarity beyond the usual jovial atmo-
sphere of folks resting as they eat
from strenuous work. Motion picture
people take their work seriously and
they work hard. They get up early in
the morning and they work long hours.
Hollywood is a peaceful little city and
its people are very human folks"
Won't Discuss ArbuckIe Scandal
MIR. Mckim pleasantly declined to
either the Arbuckle scandal or
Taylor murder mystery beyond
that he believed that the TAYLOR
would always remain a mystery.
Taylor was a particular friend of his
and Arbuckle still is a good friend. Mr..
McKim said.
Musing for a moment he recalled
lays when he and Arbuckle were on
me legitimate stage together. In those
lays he was making $40 q week and
arbuckle was making $25 because he
sang between acts.
Tells of His Own Act
And with a smile-and another
,igarette-he briefly outlined his own
let in this weeks Pantages bill. He
lppears as a motion picture director
is just as hard as he is in the
PICTURES made famous by his portrayal
Il the worlds meanest men. It is an
Interior set and with him are Miss
thea Mitchell, as his wife and the girI

in the picture; Bert Hadley, as the
hero, and George Matthews, as the
camera man. Mr.. McKim follows his
skit with a curtain speech in which
he relates a few of the personal hap
penings relative to his motion picture
life.
Mr.. McKim has been playing in the
movies for nine years and with the ex-
ception of one picture he has played
the part Of a villain. Asked whether
he had ever played any parts other
than ~"heavies," he grinned like a kid
and said:
Once. Dorothy Dalton and I CO.
starred in a picture that was never
released. Dorothy blamed it's failure on
me and to get even / blamed it on
her."

Pleasantly Surprised
On 18th Anniversary

Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Smith of the
Cushman road, two of WinSlow's
most highly respected citizens, were
pleasantly surprised on Monday ev-
ening, when twenty four Of their
neighborhood friends gathered at
their home in honor of Mr.. and Mrs.
Smiths thirty-ninth wedding ami
VerSary.
The evening was pleasantly passed
with games, dancing, selections on
the victrola, and general get to-
gether" and good time in which
everyone could participate.
DR.. E. c. Hooper, who is we'll
known for his able poetical attempts
and successes, composed a very fine
poem which was read by Mrs. Hoop
er, the doctor being unable to be
present because Of Ill health. This
poem kept the listeners guessing as
to what the point was in it, for it
began about Mr.. Smith going to the
poor farm. But at the conclusion
it was made plain that Mrs. Smiths
maiden name was Poor" and that
Mr.. Smith went often to her home
on q farm to see her, thus account
ing for the first binding word
''poor-farm." This poem was heart
lily and laughingly received by all,
and showed much poeticaI genius on
DR.. Hoopers part.
Another interesting feature Of the
evening was that Mrs. Smith wore
Il waist trimmed with the lace that
was on her wedding dress, and the
young folks and a few Of the older
ones sang Put on your old gray bon
net"
Refreshments of ice cream, cake
and sherbert was served, and a very
complimentary gift was left by the
folks, showing their high esteem for
the cclplc.
The friends departed wishing Mr.
and Mrs. Smith many more years OF
welded happiness.

this kind was the placing Of tablet
on Old Fort Western which was done
with appropriate ceremonies. A tab
let placed in the Lithgow library in
1905 bears the roll of honor of
Revolutionary soldiers who are
buried in and near Augusta.
More recently the chapter has done
large amount of philanthropic work
and is active in all social and public
enterprises. During the war it
shared with other organizations in
all forms of war work. and since
that time it has been especially in
terested in the work of American
ization, chapter members taking
prominent part in naturalization
ceremonies at the courts.
Almost from the beginning of it's
history. Koussinoc chapter was eager
to rescue Fort Western from the ig-
noble condition into which it had
been allowed to fall as a tenement
house, and to have it restored to a
place of historic sanctity in the city's
life. Several committees from the
chapter conducted negotiations from
time to time, looking toward the pur-
chase of the Old Fort, but without
success Nevertheless the idea had
been planted, and in 1920 the Fort
was secured and given to the city by
Guy p. Gannett in memory of his
mother, and one room in the building
was given to kousSinoc chapter.
Henceforth the chapter will have a
home here and will increasingly grow
to venerate through the coming years
"the place of sacred rites beside the
ripping waters"
Valuable in restoring fer the moment
the old-time settings and customs have
been the Colonial parties which the
chapter has occasionally given. One
of these parties was at the home OF
Mrs. John +. Hill and the guests APP
peared in costumes representing his
toric perscnages of note. AT SINH
lar party in the chapel of the Congre-
gational church, wide variety of colo
NAL gowns was worn and the room was
furnished with braided rugs, hickory
chairs and other furniture of the pc
Rod. At a living picture party in the
parish house Of st. Marks the pic
lures" represented historical charac-
tiers.
Notable among the chapters bencv-
olent enterprises was Il whist party
given in 1917. the proceeds of which
were donated to a young girl. Mildred
Mitchell who had been injured in an
accident. The money she received was
used for q teacher for her as she was
unable to attend a pubic school. An
educational work of another sort is now
being conducted by the chapter through
the gift of funds to ANGELA Albert. an
Italian girl who is studying at Spring
field college. her course there being
made possible in part by the generosi-
ty OF Koussinoc chapte".
The chapter now numbers nearly 100
members. During its % years of his
tory it has lost % members by death.
A few have withdrawn and a few have
transferred to other chapters. There
have been among the members two real.

has entertained the annual State meet
ings on three different occasions. In
1901 the State officers and chapter re-
gents we're entertained by Mrs. ]. F.
Hill, who was living at that time in
the Blaine mansion. In 1918 the meet
ings were held in the Penney Memorial
church. and in 1920, in the Senate
chamber at the State House.
In 1919, largely through the efforts
Of the Regent. Mrs. Jones, chapter of
the Children of the American Revolu-
ton was organized. This is called the
James Howard Chapter and has MEM
bership Of so.
KouSSinoc has proSpered and
wrought well in its first quarter-cen-
fury. May the chapter continue its
splendid record through It's next 25
years and in its new-sncicnt home, may
it live in fulfllment of the prophetic
lines written rs years ago BY Mrs.
Emma Huntington Mason in her poem,

dress was 1.-THE Orient"
Mr.. Jackson spoke for nearly an
hour on the above subject, explaining
all of the details of the Turkish reli-
gion. He said the followers of Ma
homet were the most faithful of any
of religious creeds on the face of the
Europe they were the prohibition
party.

that the Turks will lie but will tell
you that they are lying if you ask

not altogether to blame for the re-
cent massacres that has been going
on in that section of Europe lately.
but that the Aussians are partly at
