FINE PICTURE AT LIBERTY

Once in a while wrong advertis-
ing matter comes with a feature, and
consequently the announcement may
not fit. This occurred with "The
Crowded Hour" shown last night,
(and again tonight,) at the theatre.
Instead Of being mostly comedy, it
was an exceptionally fine drama, in
fact we believe it is the hest play
shown here for many months. By
this we don't mean spectacular, or
sensational, but a fine story perfect
ly done in pictures.
1t is the work of an artist, for only
he could compose the elements of
the picture in such a manner to con-
vey the spirit and sentiment Of every
event so wildly and yet preserve the
naturalness to an unusual degree.
And, in cur opinion, from this stand
point of naturalness and spirit, the
war scenes are works of art, the best
ever shown in Seward.
The enthusiastic, intense personal
ity of Bebe Daniels was never shown
to better advantage than in this
drama. She gives the part perfect
ly.
We recommend the play to anyone
who can appreciate fine book.
And the Neal Burns comedy is
also above the average.

Stolen Hoards.

While the deepest sympathy is felt
for the resident Of Washington who
lost part of his savings Of a lifetime
by theft, 1t is impossible to escape the
thought that he invited this disaster
to his personal fortune. On coming
to this country some years ago, he,
with the thrift characteristic of his
nationality, went into business, which
became prosperous and yielded him
substantial profits. At first he was
shy Of banks, as are many newcomers
to America, and hid his savings. But
eventually he was persuaded by
friends that banks were safe, and he
opened savings account, in which he
put his surplus. steadily accommodating
and drawing interest. In anticipation
Of trip abroad, a visit to his former
home,' he drew his savings out of the
bank and took the cash home, hiding
it there. He did not need it at once;

Maryland's Murder Mystery.

A strange crime has just been com.
mitted in Montgomery. County. Md,
the Staying of prosperous farmer in
his own field In the early morning by
a man who has not yet been caught
and who, after shooting his victim
down. pinned to his back what pur-
ports to be a confession by the dead
man of an assault upon woman.
The actual shooting was seen by a
farmland from short distance. but
he could not identify the slayer. The
reference to an outrageous act by the
victim is mystery. for no such hap
pening is known to have occurred.
The theory of the authorities is that
the killing was due to a personal
grievance not related % any such
transgression, and that the reference
10 an assault was blind. 1t is even
thought that possibly the slayer,
changing his clothes and disposing of
his weapon, returned to the scene Of
the crime and Joined in the throng
that gathered when the cry for aid
went forth from the bereaved family.
This 10 Q murder for the writer's of
"detectivs fiction" It has the ele-
enents Of mystery. Of daring. Of dis
euise. OF unique device to lay false
clues. II may be cleared up quickly
through some chance discovery. The
slayer may betray himself. He may

Whether this was merely bit of
melodrama or a camoufiage is a mat
ter of speculation. That the killer
was we'll known to the victim APP
pears from the words that were heard
across the field and the actions of the
two just before the shooting, when
they engaged in a brief conversation

and escape without being observed.
He could not have planned to give
the impression of a suicide. for the

back of the victim.
It is altogether one of the most

region. 1t is to be hoped that 1t will

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Wondering If we had been fair to
the flowers, in publicly pointing out
their faults yesterday, we hasten to
make amends today by noting their
good points.
Too often the lives Of children are
made miserable by too insistent
harping on some one demerit, or odd
itv. to the exclusion of the better
traits Of character.
In the world of flowers there Is
perhaps no plant without some fault,
as was instanced in the case of nearly
80 specimens, but these defects. in the
ma iority of cases, only endear the
plant to gardeners
If one wants a yard without insect
or flaw. without wilt or mildew. he
has but to engage an artist to paint
him one in oil or water colors, guar
anteed to be fadeless and without sea-
son or variation.
There. upon the wall. he may con-
template ceaseless beauty, flowers per-
feet in their way-but what way!
This would not be the living thing
but only a mockery of the petals of
the gladiolus. or of the intangible
quality which makes the rose loved
the world around.
The greatest merit Of all flowers,
therefore. is that they are alive, drink
ing in the elements of the earth. and
transforming them into what human
beings choose to regard as forms of
beauty.
In addition to the scents which they
distill. such as that of the violet, or
the lilac, or the hyacinth, flowers
