 SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Much Work is Being Planned for this Year. Will Have Much More
 Perfect Camp in Summer.

The annual meeting of the Little River County Y M. c. A. Committee met at the Court House Sunday after noon, and had very enjoyable meet ing.
 The report of the County Secretary showed that in spite of the hard time the committee has experienced in keep ing the work going, having had to eliminate such functions as Father and Son" Banquets, Conferences, and County Meets and having to confine the work to a very limited territory yet the work has been a success in every detail wherever the work has been carried on.
 A community Christmas tree and exercises were held at Miller School house with three neghborhoods talk ing part in the program and a treat was furnished to one hundred children under fifteen years of age The pro- gram was the Cantata Christmas Cheer for AL" and in spite of the small pox scare it was rendered in very delightful way to an audience of over two hundred.
 Other results of the work are the organization of the Y. M S. c. B. so- ciety of young folks with an attendance of from 8 venty-five to one hundred every Sunday night at Miller School House and assisting in Revial Services where all the boys who accepted Christ were Y. M. c. A. boys. This is the crowning feature of the work for the year. showing the program 100 per cent efficient as far as it was able to function on account of limited funds.
 The Secretary was granted a three weeks leave of absence to visit his family in Ell Paso, Texas, this month.
 The following officers were elected for the coming year: A. T. Hemphi,l. Chairman; N c. MoCrary, vice-chair- man and chairman of the Executive Committee, J. c. Mitchelmore, secre- tary, and Geo. Briant, treasurer.
 The following men were added to the County Committee for the coming year: Rev. z. D. Lindsay, Ashdown: Rev. w. M. Howell, Foreman; Rev. J. D. Dunn, Richmond; w. l.. Hedgecock. Wilton; T. J. Jones, Hicks; G. H. Hatcher, Red Bluff; P. M. Wood Red Bluff; P. s. Davis, Arden; F. H. Allen. Arden.
 In spite of the fact that times are hard the Committee is more hopeful than ever of the success of the work and is delighted with the closer GOOD. eration of the churches throughout the county.
 The outlook for the year 1922 is good for more intensive and extensive work throughout the county. The Committee is planning a big program and have definately decided on having a large county camp where every boy in the county who wants to attend camp may go by bringing only his furnishings" and camp equipment. Funds for defraying the expense of cook and other cash outlay to be rais- ed by subscription. -,
 An athletic meet will be held as near the center of the county as possible where every boy in the county will have an opportunity to compete with others of his class in weight and age. Ill any event he may wish to enter.
 Other programs will be promoted as times and finances permit.

The name Of J. Royar West and
Ida Van Siclen have been closely
associated for the past thirty years
with the theatergoers.
A bit of theatrical history in
connection with Miss Van Siclen
is that she was the first lady to ap-
pear on the stage in pajamas and
scarcely a newspaper or magazine
in the land failed to publish her
picture. 1t was a real shock in
those days.

cannot always be Judged by the
quantity of smoke produced. as
was demonstrated during the film
ing OF the fire scenes in the AL
askan dance hall setting in Irwin
willats production for Para
mount, THE Siren Call" featur-
ing Dorothy Dalton which comes
to Loew's Palace this afternoon
for a weeks engagement.
An outsider. seeing these scenes
in the making. would probably
have become greatly alarmed. A
wild stampede during which the
three hundred men and women
characters in the set registered
panic, with great volumes of yell
low smoke pouring into the big
dance hall from the direction of
the stage where the orchestra
held forth, was the spectacle that
met the gaze of all on the side
lines. The smoke was provided,
however, by smoke pots OF sui
phurous fumes, the flames by the
use of lycompodium.
One OF the extraordinary tea-
lures Of the scene was the re-
markable manner in which the di-
rector and his assistants handled
this large mob. in a set something
like a hundred and fifty feet
square. Practically every person
had instructions as to what to do
and where to go when the signal
was given.
When the scene was complete1
once, 1t had to be done all over
again, as Is customary in the MAX
ing Of a motion picture scene.
This meant that everything hal to
be restored to It's original condi-
ton, chairs and tables replaced
and every character take the lame
position he had before. Such are
some Of the difficult details Of mo
