their slogan for that is their aim

But In their programs they are
Offering both quality and quantity
In good measure, and they have
reason to be encouraged as to

One thing we have noted with
a degree Of satisfaction. is that
there Is a lack Of anything in tho
vaudeville acts, on a whole. that is
intended as direct appeal to the
lower nature, but on the contrary
there has been much to elevate

1t is to bad when a film such
as 1.-THE Bonnie Brier Bush" fea-
tured at the Nelson today, is re-
tanned for only one days showing,
but strange as it may seem, the
,theater men tell US that the
classics are not appreciated by the
large majority OF movie fans, and
that from a box. office standpoint
they are a losing quantity. So,
as theaters, as well as other busi-
nesses, depend largely for their
support upon the public, the pub.
lie is the deciding voice in the
selection Of the films shown, and
IL they do7not' lend their presence
and admission fee to the bring
inS of the classics, then the ex-
hlbition takes it that that is not
what they want.
Parents particularly, should
see to 1t that their children at
tend pictures Of this nature when
ever shown, because Of their liter
airy value, as such stories create q
desire for the best in literature.
The story is by Ian MacLaren
the Scotch writer, and the scenes
of course, are laid in his native
cline with the usual quaint and
charming settings that character
ice the tales Of Scotland.
