THIS DAILY PAPER

THE DAILY PAPER
Out
From a roaring basement
Dashed tattered hordes
OF newsboys.
And nerve keyed to the conflict
That awaited them,
Dashed madly into the nav of the
great city
Laying down noise barrage
AS they seurried,
Dodglng ducking,
Beneath the feet of the maddening
traffic,
"Hux-t-r-e-e-e- huxtree.
Big moider an suancide,"
Huge auto trucks
Pulsing with pent emotion
Broke their leash
And darted like mad toward the out
skirts
Loaded to the guards
With the first edition. Back in the
basement
Smudge- faced men mopped their
steaming brows
And paused for moment
Surveying the quiverlng presses
With practiced eyes
And awaited with tense features
The signal for the second run
Upstairs. nfmble Drained reporters
And editors
With anxious fingers on the worlds
pulse
Relaxed at their desks
And sighed audbly,
Their lined faces
Revealing the strain of a prodding
publics whims,
Yet slorying in the knowledge
That it had been another day
OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS
While around multitudes of firesides
In hotel Hobbies. and on trains
The finished product of their days
toll
Was eagerly devoured
BY a restless public
Eager to Keep in step
With the worlds onward march.
Fathers reading stock reports,
Mother reading scandal,
Sister looking over the fashions,
Brother absorbed In the sports page,
The scrub lady engrossed in the So
ciety news
The kids scrapping over the funnies.
And down in the big building
The hot presses are hushed
The huge roil-top desks are closed,
And the nerve-racked men
Who pass the tense days
In fate's tickle factory
Smile wanly. and with thoughtful
faces
Go to their homes.

Besides "Trifles," the Drama league

Pierrot and Pierette dance. Quite a
delectable entertainment!
The first, a difficult fantasy it
seemed to us. certainly was sufficient
to test the mettle of the players. The
caste included Chappell Cory. Jr.,
olivia O'Neal and Armstrong Cory. 1t
was lyrical sort, spotted with tune
full airs.
The dance, venerable gyration of
Pierrot and Pierette, was presented
by Eula Martin and Lenore Hartley,
who are two sprightly dancers of no
mean merit.
"Trifles.s not unlike vaudeville

mysterious murder. The crime was
obligingly committed off-stage and
