PUBLIC LIBRARY
IS USED MUCH
High School Students Read
Better Literature Than
Their Elders.

High school students, on the average,
read better literature than their eld.
ers, according to Miss Leila Willis Of
the Columbia Public Library. This is
not because Of a natural desire to be
familiar with the product Of acknowl-
edged genius; rather, it is that most of
ihem are enrolled in English courses
and English teachers have habit Of re-
quiring conclusive proof that assign
menis have been read.
The lists from which books for col
lateral work may be chosen are posted
in the library. A certain amount OF
credit is given for each report and
some unusually long books, among
which is David Copperheld, count
more than others.
When they bring back books Of
this type" said Miss Willis. Il ask if
they liked them. A good many times
they answer, | did after | got into the

The newest books usually are kept a

Monday is the busiest day. Miss
Willis thinks it is because many stu

the weekend. There were l32 calls at

Molly Malone at Strand

Everyone likes stories of the great
outdoors, everyone likes adventure
ana vlrile excitement. Everyone likes
the type of man who smiles his way
along, meeting everything that
comes, never looking for trouble but
always standing flat t-footed in his
own defense when trouble rears it's
head, and then again, the romantic
western country of the days that are
gone. not the blood and thunder"
type, but stories of brave men and
true women who blazed the trail
across the wild country.
And no writer better understands
this sort of story than Peter b. Kyne.
nor has there been a more successful
writer along this line.
And there is perhaps no Peter B.
kyne story that is more popular than
The Sheriff of Cinnebar' from which
Red Courage" the Strands attrac-
ton for the final times today, was
adapted.
Another big element in its favor is
the fact that Hott Gibson the smif-
ing lad from the west, has the stellar
role and Molly Malone is in charge of
the principal feminine portrayal.
Here's the combination that the
Strand is offering for the final times
today with the added attraction in
the person of Miss Pauline Ford who
is singing Wyoming in appropriate
costume.
The innovation introduced recently
at the Strand of presenting added
features with its excellent lienup of
pictures caught on" at once with
the patrons and the quality of this
bill fully establishes the fact that the
Strand will be satisfied with nothing
short of the best.
Red Courage" tells the tale of
couple of "buddies" pinto Pete and
"Chuckwalla Bill" who happen into
a town controlled by gang of graft
ers. Politicians and ''roughnecks"
they were with no scruples The
boys through defending the publish
er of the only newspaper in the
neighhorhood, obtained control of the
sheet, and decided ii was henceforth
to be devoted Ito cleaning up the
town backed by their own steel fists
and sindomitable wills. What hap
pened is best told by Peter II. Kync,
but suffice it to say that it proves
an admirable vehicle for Hoot Glib
son.
Tomorrow will see an entire
change of picture program at the
Strand, and Miss Ford will also
change song numbers.
