 Miss Nilsson makes a convincing man. The illusion Is perfect. One forgets, while watching the film. that the character is that of a woman, so remarkable is she in her enactment of this difficult role.

 Mrs. Kraus in his letter to Mir. Wells of Birmingham, writes.
 q am in receipt of yours of 'the 22nd regarding the Community Chest. We finished our campaign last evening, having raised a total of s4,370,000 at the latest count, the to- tai amount asked for being $4,5O0, ,000. However, it has been our experience during other campaigns that about $150,000 comes in after the campaign is closed, so we believe that we have again gone over the top.

Player Of 'ToI'abIe. David Fame Scores Again In 'The
 Covered Wagon

Few actors have ever come for ward at such pace as did Ernest Terrence, the tall Scotchman of The Covered Wagon" which comes to the Jefferson theatre next Monday night. with daily matinees there after. Terrence admits that he tried for several years to get Into the movies and had about given up all holNe when he was engaged to play about the most villalnous character bad man that was ever handed a gentl eman for portrayal This was the role of the murdering young mountGineer in Richard Barthel- mess success, "ToIable David"
 1 Terrence is a graduate of the Uni- < Versity of Edinburgh. an accoN- plished musician and a gentleman of fine taste and discrimination. Any one, who first met him In "Torable David" would never recognize these attributes. It was a striking DOT trayal, however, and when Terrence decided to take a flying trip to Holly wood and see if he could catch on there he was quickly caught up to play another disreputable villain in 'The Hunohback of Notre Dame,
 When Jesse L. Lasky sent for him to play Bill Jackson in "The Covered Wagon" he was almost in tears. He felt himself doomed to playing these super bad men. He told his story to Lasky and the latter listened no result WA5 AAo was given a good bit of leverage in rounding out the character of Bill Jackson and while he is not model of department nor 8 study of the Delsartean Graces he is rough hewn, human. whose impulses make him the hit of this tremendous screen success.

whole system pitched on a level un- suited to the younger minds and which cannot have but irked them and tried their patience sorely at times.
 The Sunday school with all its in teresting work is, in the man, con ducted by the teachers and other officials. The children have been attendants with but very little active leadership allotted to them. It has been my thought that the day has come for an innovation, a very de- cided change, that there should be distinct service each Sunday morning at II o'clock for the children, en- tirely separated from the service in which the adults take part. con- ducted by and for the children, and this is the man object of our present movement to raise s100,000 before Christmas to make this possible. The children's morning service will be an exact duplication of that for adults. All of Us confidently expect the sum named to be raised. It will be spent for our educational building and It's appurtenances, but the center of the idea Is an auditorium in tho new building where the little folk can have their own pastor who will preach to them, where they will have their own ohoir. their own board and their own church officers"

 pr. Hendrix said that in many churches throughout the land, short sermons are preached to the chill dren just before the principal sermon Is enunciated, that others have services at afternoon hours and in various ways the attempt has been made to serve the younger members in services of their own, but these have not been entirely satisfactory as they cannot but run counter to the hours and desires of adults, lengthen the morning service con- ducted by the adult congregation and in other ways be unsatisfactory to the children and their parents alike.
 The committee of the church, pr. Hendrix said, has worked out Its plans to raise the $100.0000 for the educational building and within a short time will take up the work of securing the fund, with the aim of having 1t ready before January. When that Is accomplished the at tendant details for setting in motion the erection of the new building will be in order, with the hope that the structure will be ready for occupancy before next fall.
 The church and its officers, pr. Hendrix said have already taken un- der advisement the securing of a suitable minister for the juvenile congregation and shortly will take
