LITTLE MOTHER OF MINE

Sometimes in the hush of the evening hour
When the shadows creep from the west
l think of the twilight songs you sang
And the boylulled to rest;
That wee little boy with tousled head,
That long, long ago was thine;
| wonder if sometimes you long for that
boy.
O little mother of mine!
And now he has come to mans estate,
Grown stalwart in body and strong,
And you'd hardly know that he was the
lad
Whom you lulled with your slumber
song.
The years have altered the form and the
life.
But his heart is unchanged by time
And still he is only boy as of old

vAGARIES
Just aNfew vagaries plucked from the
cerulean atmosphere that enfolds us.
By Mr.. K. L. M.

We overheard a resident remark that
Ben Turpin was interesting but not
funny. We disagree for Turpin is both
interesting and funny. We do not believe
Chaplin or Buster Keaten as comedian,
but he certainly excels most of the alleged
creators of slapstick comedies.
married Life" was enjoyable, but it
was not what we would call an excellent
picture. 1t is difficult to point out where
a comedy is good or bad and married
Life" is no exception. Hokdm is as a rule
entertaining if it is not overdone and the
same applies to a burlesque that lampoons
hokum. married Life" did this.
1t is not in the least difficult to look at
Phyllis Havor, even without opera glasses.
AS an actress she simply isn't but as
very attractive young lady she is beyond
comparison with many who have his
trionic talent. Mack Sennett is a capable
producer of comedies, but a Mack Sennett
comedy without beach beauties in abbre-
waited costumes is like Tom without Terry.
AS an actor Kala Pasha is good
wrestler. He wears alfalfa becomingly'
and that lets Rim out. Louise Fagenda

and she may be yet but it was not appar-
CIT in "Married ife
Summed up, the picture was good en-
tertainment and that, after all, is all that
can be expected of any picture There is
sameness about the pictures of any fea-
tured comedian, especially if he is not
star of the magnitude of a Chaplin or
Lloyd.
Ben Turpin may be as shre,vd as these
stars, and yet be unable to do as they
have done. Chaplin realized that is was
better to make two or three pictures a
year than one or more month and that
he could hold his following if they did
rot see his pictures SO often. Lloyd
adopted a similar policy with the natural
result that his pictures are looked forward
to, whereas, before when he was turnin.
them out automatically Lloyd fan could
drop into a theatre at almost any time
and see the favorite.
Is Chaplin as popular as he was few
years ago when he had imitators in every
city and hamlet? l think not The pub
lie is tickle and it always will be- 1t is
ever ready to pay homage to a new fav-
orite. Ben Turpin can continue his popu-
larity over several more years by making
fewer pictures. With a pretty girl, as
Phyllis Haver, it is different. Beauty
fades and a woman's span of popularity
is even more Aeeting than that of a man.

LIVING THE LIFE

Each life must have its sorrows,
Each life must have its woes
Each life must have its hardships,
AS well as having foes.
Each sorrow can be conquered,
Each woe will pass away;
And the happiness returning,
Will be like, one sweet spring day.
Each hardship that we gather,
AS we live from day to day;
Will teach us, yes, will teach U.S.
How to live a better way.
Our foes can be forgiven,
If we put our heart to it;
To render love and kindness,
When we are hardest hit.
Just reach cut your hand in friendship,
To man, as you pass by;
And you'll find this life worth living,
If you will-but only try.
