failed to catch the name of the fea-
ture picture of the holiday show, but l
did not fail to appreciate it. Jewel Car
men is an actress whom we seldom see
and we could appreciate her oftener.
Kenneth Harlan is as rule, capable; in
this picture he carried his part very well.
The theme was a bit different than the
usual one and it presented phase of the
relation of law and the man that furnishes
food for profound thought.
In the humble estimation of the writer
Buster Keaton is the one real comedian
now making two-ree comedies. "The
Boat" provoked hilarious laughter. AS
the skipper of the stanch craft, Damfno,
he was One-act riot, WOW as they do
not say in the classics. As for his better
half we assume of course that she
was his wife we cannot recall hav-
ing seen her before. Her understanding
is excellent, in fact we haven't viewed
any better since "The Gillis" was sub
jected to supervision.
"R. S. V. P" by Rob Wagner, featur-
ing the inimitable Charles Ray was
thoroughly entertaining. 1t was not a
great picture, and it cannot be compared
with "Forty-Five Minutes From Broad
way" The "Egg-Crate Wallop," or
"Red Hot Dollars" Rob Wagner is a
pioneer in the scenario-writing game, and
he has attained recognition as a brilliant
novelist as WE'LL "R. S. V. P" was ORR
ginal as could be expected
Harry Myers as Benny Fielding fur
nished the real comedy, indeed we would
say that he was better than Ray in this
particular picture. The girl was too stiff
and al0of to register well with us.
We opine that that jehu knew how to
use the flexible object that he handled so
Familiarity.
A neighbor asked the meaning of r. S.
V. P. 1t is French expression, "rf-
tondey sill vous tlait," meaning "reply
if you please" 1t is used on invitations
to formal affairs, and indicates. that an
acceptance or "regrets" are in order. 1t
is sometimes used in correspondence be-
tween males and females of the puppy
love age, with the inevitable con amor
of first year Latin students.
Farmer Lodge is going to get in the
same ring with Senior Firpo. What
crash if either hits the floor
An ebon resident opines that you can't
beat the Irish in Dublin on ST. Patricks
Day. We agree implicitly. You can't
beat them anywhere else on any other
day by training on absinthe.
