The Drum Major

+ Expectation was on tiptoe when
the curtain went up at the Amusu
last Wednesday night and the full
est was realized as this clever musi-
cal comedy went off without a
hitch, to the credit of each and
every performer, due to the very
capable and patient training of
Mrs. Winslow who was ably as.
sisted by Mrs. Charles DeBlieux
in looking after all the difficult de-
tails in working up an amature
performance. The cast was well
made, the leading roles interpret
ed by Misses Josephine Bryan,
Dorothy Lawton. Messrs. George
Poleman and Edwin McClung,
pleasing every body, while Mrs.
Browne, Misses KlIe, Ellsworth,
Zelenka and Mr.. WlnStead as we'll
as the choruses and dancers per
formed their parts very we'll.
The stage setting was particu-
larly attractive with its wealth of
flowers and formed a pleasing
background for the pretty girls in
their brilliant costumes.
The performance was repeated
at the Normal Saturday night, and
as a result of the two, $40 were
cleared aud forms the nucleus for
the fund needed for the purchase
of a chemical hre-fghting ap-
paratuS.

Thisswas not a regular prison, but
cistern which had doubtless been
emptied of its water during the siege,
leaving only "mire" Into this mire
he sank. The purpose was to let
: Jeremiah die there. There was no
possible way to escape. In this situa
tion Jeremiah Is type of Christ
psalm 69). Jeremiah was one of the
bravest of Gods servants.
w Jeremiah Rescued From the
Dungeon CIV. 7-13).
l. BY m-Ebed-melech, an Afri-
can servant wv. 7-9). The Jewish
prophet whom his own countrymen
tried to destroy is saved by Gentle,
which may be thought of as fore
shadowing the Gentiles' attitude to-
ward Christ. Though Ebed-melech
had a colored skin he was the whitest
man IN Jerusalem. He was not only
sympathetic, but courageous. He went
to the king and boldly declared that
the princes had done evil in imprison-
ing jeremiah.
2. The Method wv. 1919. The king
yielded to his request and furnished
guard to prevent interference with the
work of rescue. He let down soft
rags and WORKOUT garments by ropes
and instructed jeremiah to put them
under his arms and under the ropes
so as to prevent injury to him as he
was lifted up. They lifted him out
of the dungeon and he was permitted
the freedom of the court of the prison.
Why did Jeremiah have such hard
time? Why do the purest and best
men and women have to suffer? Why
are Gods prophets Unpopular? Jere-
miah, the prophet who declared Gods
power t deliver, goes to prison and
suffers. "Why do the righteous suf-
fer" is an age-old question.
l. The power of God is more strik-
ingly shown in deiiverance than in
keeping from trials. This was so in
the case of the Hebrews in the fiery
furnace and Daniel in the den Of
lions.
2. Great gain accrues to the suffer
ers; e. e. the Hebrews in the fiery
furnace were not only kept from being
burned, but had walking with them
the Son of God; Job through his
trials was brought to see himself.
8. Suffering turns out to the further
ance of Gods cause; e. 6. Job be-
comes the priest through whose inter
cession his friends are pardoned;
Pauls sufferings furthered the preach
ing of the gospel; John through ban
ishment on the Isle of Patmos was
given the vision of the Revelation.

GIRL SETS OUT TO MAKE WAR
 UPON SOCIETY

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Una Hanley, a young, lovely, attractive girl, set out with the object of waging war on the world. She detested, and desired re- venge upon, the fabric of society. She became a creature of circumstance, not caring what became of herself and impervious to the sufferings of those she trampled under foot.
 She broke mems hearts merely for the fun of the thing. And with each broken heart she laughed complacent- ly. knowing that another step in her scheme of revenge had been taken.
 She robbed men and women of their money. She posed as daughter of the society which had discarded her: she committed bigamy, and had the unique distinction of being di- vorced by two men on the same day.

MOVES

"The Love Light" gripping emo tional drama, is one that is bound to prove of great interest to her thou sands of admirers, since the "World's Sweetheart" announced her policy of avoiding the conventional and hack neyed forms of photoplay, and try not only to advance herself but the motion picture industry as well, her productions have aroused new and unusual interest among the fans.
 "The Love Light" is the story of a little Italian girl in an Italian fish ing village among the cliffs border ing on the Mediterranean in North ern Italy. How the little girl presides over the family of her orphaned brothers, how a great tragedy comes into her life, the final realization makes not only an unusual story for the screen, but is a startling in- novation for Mary Pickford herself. At the Empress theater tonight.
