Jackie Coogan Back Again In a

Before YOU do anything else, make

Imagine Jackie, who doesn't weigh
as much as a sack Of flour. trying to
!uG Il kit Of heavy plumbers tools up
a stairway; and picture him further
tying the bag to Il wagon and lu.ing
the old horse into drawing it up for
him b. waving Il carrot under his
nose.
Let your imagination ramblc again
to Il situa ton where Soft-hcartcd
Jackie, in an orQha-as;c. whitewashes
his little black pal in the hope that
somebody will adopt him. only 10 find
out that the last available seekers Of
children are a negro couple.
You never saw better acting than
Jackie does i'll a coU, troo:n scene
where he appears as a witness
aS&inst his foster father, the plumb
er, and describes in pantomimc how
the man beat his wife and then bat
tied policeman into Submission
only to be fcllod 10 earth by It flow

THE LAKE ISLE OF INNIsFREE

I will arise and go now, and 60 to Innis-
free,
And small cabin build there, of clay
and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will have there, hive
for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And l shall have some peace there, for
peace comes dripping slow,
Dropping from the wells of the morning
to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all glimmer, and noon
purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
l will arise and go now, for always night
and day
I hear lake water tapping with low sounds
by the shore;
While stand on the roadway, or on the
pavements gray.
| hear it in the deep hearts core.

HAS HE PROTECTED HIS MOTHER?

She'll never forsake you, whatever you do.
Were you down in the gutter, she'd kneel
beside you ;.
Were you covered with shame, she would
stand by your side,
And the hurt in her heart for your sake
she would hide.
She will stick to you, lad, though you lose
every test;
So the least you can do is to give her
your best.
All others may quit you and mock at your
fall,
But your mother, undaunted, will come at
your call.
She will follow you down to the deep
depths of sin,
And love you and nurse you through thick
and through thin;
And though she may suffer through what
you have done,
She will never forget or desert you, my
son.
So long as she lives you are sure of
On whom at all times you may safely de-
pend.
You may wound her by shining, and~hurt
her with shame,
Should you fail to be true, but she'll love
you the same;
So remember, my lad, as you stand in
life's test,
That you owe to your mother your finest
and best.

MEMORIES

What wonderful thing is our memory
Of events that have long wandered by,
How the thoughts of the past keep cling
ing to u.s.
A memory that never will die.
We sit and we dream in the fast waning
light
Of things that perhaps might have been,
Tho we know it is finished now once and
for all,
And never can come back again.
But oh! what a JOY it is just to look
On the treasure of by-gone day!
And oh! what gift of immortals gods
Are the secrets we're storing away!
What a beautiful view we bring into sight
AS we wander back over the trail;
What glorious sound to our listening ear
Is the one of welcoming hail
What a voice from the dead we bring
back to life
For a moment of good fellow cheer,
We picture the clasp of a pulsating hand
And drink in the words that we hear.
And as every one on the screen comes to
view
We stage all the plays of the past,
From the first time we met in the days of
Lang Syne
Til the curtain went down at the last.
Oh, the pain and the JOY that grips at our
hearts
With a power that almost controls
Every thought that we have, every move
that we make
And reaches our innermost souls
What unfinished deeds we complete in our
mind
Of the happ'nings that never will be.
So real is each one we reach out our arms
For the faces, we never will see.
Oh! God what task to come back today
To the knowledge it's not what it seems,
That it's only the thought in our memories,
Only vision that's made up of dreams

VARGARIES
Just few vagaries plucked from the
cerulean atmosphere that enfolds us.
By Mr.. r. L. M.

We have expressed our opinion of pres
ent day comedies-or alleged comedies
so often that another would be but a repi-
tition. The Paleface got few cackles
out of us, as the immobile- featured Buster
Keaton's antics are usually mirth-inspir-
ing. We cannot give Mack Sennet much
on the atrocity that was inflicted, nor can
anything be said in support of the cast,
save that Phyllis Haver is still an eye
stimulant The International News was
about as interesting as case of empties.
Mr.. w. K. tickles the ivories entertain
ingly, and we enjoyed the numbers i'm
mensely. Please play us the blues in the
near future. We will endeavor to have
Cleo, the lyric tenor, favor us with few
selections. Didja ever hear Cleo singh
if not, you've never heard nothin'.
We have been told that we have the
DempseyGibbons go pegged correctly, that
we gave an honest opinion, and that we
know more about the high cost of loving
on Mars than we do about the boxing
game We offer a few samples of the
comments:
"Who did Tom Gibbons ever lick
the big bum? Jack Dempsey can lick the
whole Gibbons family in two rounds"
"Gibbons stay seven rounds with Dernp-
sey-fellow, you're crazy! He'll be lucky
if he comes up for the fifth"
"Who did Dempsey ever beat-yeh,
Billy Miske, but Tommy took him, too
Willard; shucks, Tom Gibbons would
show him more gloves in round than
Dempsey did in three
"Gibbons will outpoint Dempsey, and
get the decision. Dempsey can't catch
Tom in fifteen rounds. Why, know 'em
both personally, and I'm telling you that
Tom is the best man."
And so it goes. Isn't it rather surpris-
ing how many people are personal friends
of celebrities? We know that there are
residents who could have attended school
with the challenger, and we know few
who headquartered in Salt Lake and so
have known the champ. Speaking for
ourself we are an intimate friend of
Cleopatra and we once shot craps with
Bull Montana and Jack Yellen, the song
writer. Jack had to go and write another
Dixie song when he got through.
That kind of friendship means little.
When the name of Coal Oil Johnny was
byword among the sporting fraternity
he could count his friends by the hun
dreds, and now, few know where he lives.
We do, but we never knew him in his
hey-day. He now ekes out a meagre
existence on the outskirts of South Omaha,
and his name is but memory. That is
the tickle public fancy, and it will always
he the same.
