IN MEMoRIAM

In memory of my mother, Amanda
Bennett, who departed this life on July
1..1927:
The month of July is here again
1t is so sad to us
For our dear mother left us
One year ago July 1, 1927,
And the one that thinks of her today
Is the one that loved her best.
The flowers we place on her grave
Mither and fade away,
But the love we had for her
VIII never pass away
Sadly missed by her daughters, Roxie
Draper and Urania Carey. 1t

Of his operatic themes, the fllm Is the
first of a series to be produced by the

legends.
Aside from being an intensely inter-
eSting tale throughout, "Siegfried" has
| been filmed with such artistic photog-
raphy as to stamp the production as
something different" in the cinema
world The unreal, mythical atmosphere
Of the old epic has been uncannily cap
tured by the camera in the filming of
the story, and the audience follows
Siegfried through fantastic world.

ues his adventurous way until he
reaches the stronghold Of King Gunther

A notable German cast Is employed In
the film 1t includes Paul Richter, as
Siegfried; Theodor Loos, as King Gum

and Hanna Ralph as Brunhilde.

a feeling he ought to tell some

And of course he thought she

That's what you get for being
