A feller I'd known, fer many day,
An, the flowers that covered his low grave
Was beautiful ain never seen more

When his time had come an he had passed
But laid in his bed so dark-like an grim

can the parson, he said lot o nice
things,
Talked o the past and how mem'ry

Thoughts o the good the departed had
done,
Fer he tried to be square with everyone.
An he told how his friends 'ud miss him
that's gone,
An how his example 'ud still lead us on,
But l couldn't help thinkin'" sez Bill
with a tear,
THAT my friend in his dark home them
things couldn't hear"
l know that on earth he wuz fond O his
friends,
He want one O them that misleads an
pretends,
He didn't care whether you had station
or gold,
Jes keep comm clean an his friendship
you'd hold,
He'd 60 out O. his way to do kindly deeds
Cause he figured that kindness wuz what
the world needs.
An while praise he disdained, yet it
ought to've turned out
That he'd heard them nice things ere he
had passed out
Somewhere up above his soul in its flight
May know of them things an pause with
delight,
But better by far, sez Bill, seems to me,
That if here on earth while he'd hear an
See,
We had shown more O friendship an

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

With such an entertaining youngster as
Wesley Barry in the title role Dinty is
bound to entertain all lovers of the best
in histrionic art. There is no precocious-
ress in this frecked kid and his acting is
unaffected. What a pity that he must
grow up.
Dinty was one hundred per cent enter
tanning. With a few exceptions the cast
was all Irish, as it should have been.
Tom Gallery as the gossoon, Colleen
Moore as the colleen bawn, J. Barney
Sherry as the judge, Pat O'Malley, Mar
jcrie Daw, Wesley Barry, and Micky
(Marshall) Neilan are all of Irish ex-
traction. There is something about the
Irish temperament that is responsible for
the distinctive touches that make or ruin
a picture. We cannot commend Dinty
too highly.
There is but one screen heavy who
can rank with Noah Beery to our mind,
and that is his brother, Wallace. Both
Beery's are especially good when cast in
the role of an oriental. Noah Berry's in
depreciation of the part of king" Dorkh
was fine bit of acting
In Dinty we expected the usual kind of
kid story similar to Penrod and we were
agreeably surprised with the picture.
There is sufficient plot to counterbalance
the sentimental theme that runs through
out the story like a gossamer thread.
Colleen Moore has long been favorite
of ours, not because she has the prettiest
eyes in filmdon or quaint mannerisms
that we like but because she is an artist
of great ability. Marjorie Daw is an
other of our best bets. Like Miss Moore
she portrays part simply and unaffected
ly. Pat O'Malley is a likeable young
Irishman, whom it is our privilege to
know both on and off the screen. Tom
Gallery is a coming star of the first wa
ter, but he had little chance to display his
talent in Dinty.
Kate Price is the embodiment of genial
Irish spirit. She has smile that could
have come from no place in the world but
the Emerald Isle. J. Barney Sherry does
not fit in with our idea of Judge. His
smile is too warm and his manner too ex-
uberant But we like him no matter
where he is cast.
We pass Dinty with recommendation
to any and all for it is we'll worth seeing

WHEN THE READER KICKS!

My father says the paper he reads amt
put up right;
He finds lot of fault, too he does per-
usin' it all night;
He says there amt single thing in it
worth to read,
And that it doesn't print the kind of stuff
the people need;
He tosses it aside and says it's strictly
on the bum,
But you ought to hear him holler when
the paper doesn't come.
He reads about the weddin's and he snorts
like all get out;
derisive shout
He says they make the papers for the
women folks alone;
He'll read about the parties and he'll
fume and fret and groan;
He says of information it doesn't have a
crumb-
But you ought to hear him holler when
the paper doesn't come.
He is always first to grab it and he reads
it plumb clean through.
He doesn't miss an item, or want ad-
that is true;
He says they don't know what we want,
the darn newspaper guys.
Pm going to take day sometime and go
and put 'em wise;
Sometimes it seems as though they must
be deaf and blind and dumb
But you ought to hear him holler when
the paper doesn't come.
