The 1nquiring Reporter ventured
into an entirely new field when she
took up position on the corner of
9Th and Main last night and de
manded of passersby:
What do you think of the
movies?
a pretty Mexican girl who said
her name was Maria Sanchez came
along the street and smiled at the
reported with flash Of white
teeth.
"Oh, I think movies are wonder
full' she enthused eff | could
have a lover like Ramon Navarro
| think I could die happy.
''He might not be so wonderful
if you knew him the reporter sug-
gested
"a man couldn' t be so handsome
and not be WONDERFUL Maria in
sisted "All the movie men are
wonderful-and so beautiful!' And
Maria went smiling down the street,
happy in her faith. The reporter
did not disillusion her.
Mr.. Hetzel held no brief for the
handsome movie men-nor for the
stories they generally appear in; but
he was full of admiration for the
marvellous beauty with which thos
stories are presented.
- don't think the movies are
living up to their opportunities, y
he declared. "Thev have perfected
lighting and photography until it
is real art-and then they make use
of their skill to picture tawdry
stories that bore intelligent persons
to tears. | think the movies are
badly in need of screen writers
who will write as writers of books
do-with their eyes on an ideal
rather than box office report. -
"Don't you think they are i'm
proving!" the reported asked.
'Oh yes!' he exclaimed they
are much better than they used to
be-but wish they would some
times put something funny in their
comediesl'
Marvin Nelson, about 10, was
busilv engaged in disposing of an
Esouimo Pie.
1.-THE movies' he echoed be-
tween bites thev'r getting rot
tener all the time.
"What S the matter with them2'
the reporter wanted to know.
"Too much kissin - Marvin re-
piled briefly. 'Gosh!' he added
regretfullly-'I wisht' Bill Hart
would make some more pictures. "
"Don't you like the comedies ?"
the reporter asked.
"You betn" Martin answered.
90 Specially the funny ones. - Which
excellent discrimination ended the
interview
Mrs. Laura Smith, who lives on
Brighton street is loyal booster
for the silent drama. ~ think they
are the greatest blessing of modern
tines she declared. "They bring
the outside world to people who
could never afford to travel and
who might never have an opportun
ity to see good plays or hear good
music. Pictures have more influ
ence in the world today than any
other one thing-and of course that
carries with it an equal response

A suave and congenial fraud,
the Deacon is, with a heart like
a flaxseed when dealing the
cards, but generous with his
charities when it appears that
somebody has been humping
virtue all over the lot. He
lands in town on a Burlington
box-car, legislates the town
bad 'uns out of their bankrolls,
pats the deserving on their
backs, assists a young pair to
marital happiness and then eases
out the door. A train whistle
in the distance renders him

came from behind the moon and
is ever cropping his way back.
John MacFarIane ought, GER

it the slightest touch Of vicious
ness and the sympathetic touch
is lost. MacFarlane makes him
