him shot Of laughing gas. Then
Tommy told Brother Groundhog the
funniest story he knew. It was about
how q patient had onco died OF heart
failure while apparently resting COM
fortably in the chair. Tommy laughed
and Brother Grounding roared. When
Tommy got, through laughing, Brother
Groundhog was still going strong.
Tommy stood beside tbs wood stove
and waited until he could have m op-
portunity to resume his work.
Seems to ainuss you q good deal,
Brother Groundhoy." Tommy finally re.
marked, when Brother Gtoundhos
seemed ready to 60 on laughing for
another half hour.
"'rAin't that bsen Iaughin' at,
Brother Turtle" said Brother Ground
hog. 81 been laughin' bout how funny
you looks, standin' there with yo' csAt-
tails on fire"
Tommy had been standing wiah his
back 10 the FIRE. and his coat-tails were
burned clear up 10 the middle OF his
back. After that Tommy had then,
eobbcd, and he still wears his coat
tails that way now, with scarcely any
tail al the back.
Tommy had a taste for high-noNn
language, and he used to write letters
that went something like this:
THE crowning achievement OF my
life has been the extraction Of pleasure
from a life OF pain. This has only been
accomplished by bridging over the diff
culties usually encountered, and by
taking the teeth out Of the dangers in
cident thereto. My life. while success
ful In the main. has been more or less
inlaid with periods OF depression" and
30 on.
II was really quite professional Ian
guAGe; some Of abe letters were pub
lisised in the local papers. and added
greatly to Tommy's local prestige.
At any rate, Tommy had the courage
Of his own convictions, for he had all OF
his own teeth pulled out. and this trait
descended from him to his children and
grandchildren. so that you cannot possi-
bly, nnd a turtle that has any teeth
right down unto the present day.

SPLENDID CAST
IN "STRANGERS"
AT COLUMBIA

John Galsworthy dipped his pen
deep into the heart Of human
affairs and colored them with a
sympathetic understanding when
he wrote THE First and the
Last" which Joseph Henabery
used as the basis for his splendid
picture for Paramount, THE
Stranger" which opened at the
Columbia yesterday with Richard
Dix and Betty Compson carrying
the lead roles.
Around a Biblical quotation,
weaving an intricate web of life
and drama, dipping freely into
the lowest and searching into the
highest places, the author, Of
Justice" Foundations" and
1.-THE Skin Game" has penned a
story Of the best and the worst
in human nature. There is a
great big message behind 1t,
as is always true of Gals
worthy. but it takes introspection
to find it.
Betty Compson as Peggy Bowlin
is not offered quite the opportun-
ity that her talent deserves. Un-
fortunately Betty seems to be
casting about for the role maxi
mus, always getting near 1t, but
never getting 1t. However, in the
present role, she does admirably;
she plays it for all it is worth
and that's about all that could
reasonably be asked. Richard
Dix Is quite convincing. His task
is by no means an easy one, ana
it calls upon his resources 70 the
limit, but he strides through to
the finish. Lewis Stone, who has
played so many admirable parts
in the past, finds little opportunity
in THE Stranger" It's Lewis
Stone as far as it goes. Last,
and by no means least in the rank
of notables, is Tully Marshall,
character actor supreme. He finds
one Of the most suitable roles Of
his career, and he plays 1t as
only he is capable. Really a most
qualified quartet. Larry Dorrant,
a worthless good fellow, is the
pet aversion Of his aristocratic
brother Keith whose dream is OF
political fame. Larry meets Peggy
Bowlin, a flower growing in the
streets Of London, and his res en-.
Grafton begins. All goes well until
an old circus friend of Peggy's
turns up and causes trouble. He
is accidentally murdered by Larry
for an insult to the girl. Then
what to do? Larry strives to
shield his brother and the girl he
loves, but there is the omnipres-
ent law. Daddy Tom Gully Mar.
shalD shoulders the crime to save
the two young people he loves and
is convicted. He refuses to vim
dictate himself. The day comes
for the execution, the moose dan.
