st. Elmo, the Augusta Evans hero
of the popular novel of that name, to
be offered by William Fox at the
Caughren Theatre with John Gilbert
in the title role Sunday, Monday,
Jan. 1914, will be no exception.
St. Elmo considered his life
wrecked because of the perfidy of
the woman he had loved. His temper,
formerly the neuter trait in his char
acter, became the flaming ascendant
force. He brooked no argument with
his orders. He distrusted every wo-
man. He despised all his old friends.
His life was an inferno of his own
diabolic creation which, in turn, dis
turbed the lives Of those around him.
Yet, st. Elmo, while laughing at
those who hated him, shrank from the
idea of being pitied. He turned his
eyes away from sincerity and faith
fitness. But all these characteristics
he found in Edna Earle (played by
Bessie Love), the wistful girl from
the country who lived with his moth
er. Unconscious of the power she
welded over him, Edna Earl lived
her life according to uprighteous
code. And in the end. The story is
worked out with dramatic intensity.
May McAvoy demonstrates her
versatility in "The Top of New
York." her latest Paramount picture,
in which she gives an impersonation
entirely different from any in which
she has yet been seen. She portrays
this time New York shop girl who
lives in the tenements and finds ro-

MUSIC REALM
Greig-(1843-1907)
Norwegian Composer

Edward Greig showed his musical
talent in childhood. He began his
work on the piano at six, under the
direction of his mother. When he
was but nine years old he surprised
his school teacher by submitting a
musical composition in place of lit
erary one.
Greig was great lover of nature
The beauty of the somber northern
landscape so appealed to him that at
fifteen he made up his mind to be-
come an artist. The idea was changed
however, through the advice of Ole
Bull, the great Norwegian violinist,
who, recognizing Greig's musical abil-
ity, insisted that he be sent to Leip-
sic Conservatory, where he studied
four years.
Greig was very patriotic and work
ed untiringly for the advancement of
Scandinavian music. Many of his
great compositions are based on the
Norwegian folk songs. He wrote
many beautiful songs, sonatas for
piano and violin, a concerto for pi-
ano, and the "Peer Gynt Suite, +"
which was written to accompany
parts of Ibsen's poem, "Peer Gynt. "
Suite
The term suite was originally ap-
piled to sets of dances.
AS instruments were perfected
and people learned to enjoy instru-
mental music; soloists desired longer
and more varied compositions for
their programs.
The first suites combined the
dances of the peasants with those of
the mobiles, always starting the suite
with a rapid dance and closing with
a rapid dance. Sometimes there
would be eight or more dances in a
suite. Later popular music other than
dances was included in the suite
From the suite gradually evolved
the sonata, the highest form of class.
ical music.
Incidental music to drama is
sometimes designated as a suite
Such is the music of the drama fol
the Peer Gynt Suite.

Fond Recollections
Oh, most beautiful flower of spring
With your coming happiness returns
For you loudly the birds do sing.
All the world for you yearns,
All the earth then brighter turns.
Sweetest and loveliest flower of the
wildwood
From your beauty and brightness
man learns:
It brings him back to his childhood,
From the trials and sorrows of his
manhood,
To the days he spent in enjoyments.
Oh to have back again the days of
boyhood,
To the mind these dreams are frag-
ments.
The flower of spring has won its
fame
And the heart of the man is again
the same,

Coming Of Winter
The autumn days are here at last,
Glad summer time once more is past;
The grass beneath our feet is dead,
The autumn leaves are growing red.
The fertile fields are black and bare,
No herds of cattle feeding there
Where once were waves of glowing
grain
Is now a waste and barren plain.
Within the next few weeks l fear
Will come old winter, cold and drear,
And with white mantle, cold and
chill
Will cover every vale and hill.
Yet in this season cold and drear
Comes Christmas with its voice of
cheer.

WILDERNESS OF THOUGHT

elected to call "her own" was beauti.

but In an evil day, when she grew
weary of pulling out the tares and
watering the buds. the weeds ran
! amuck and ruined the plot about which
Penelope had dreamed for weeks.
| When put to the test she preferred
the melancholy weeds to the rose and

And so 1t was with William, who
had planned great things while In col

Up to given point he was faith

frightened his sky, but when they
faded he lost interest and did not
care
Then came the day when the garden
was ehoked with weeds.
He smiled complacentiy and accept

a self-confessed crook never stood
very high in the estimation of the A.
mercan people. 1t follows, therefore
that not many people will give much
credence to the story of a contractors
agent that he bribed a former head
OF the Veterans Bureau. Perhaps he
did, but it will take more than his
own testimony to prove it. If that
sort of testimony were to be taken at
its face, no public official in the Unit

from the accusations of some crook.
