MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRYCK.

sounds that come to the audience are
the average noises one hears in actual
life.
While one is never allowed to forget
that this is story of people who live
below the Mason-Dixon line, there are
no night club negro stunts with banjos,
no pickaninny singers to keep the au-
dience in good humor. Music is not
dragged in willy-nilly to interfere with
the tale and send the audience home
feeling they have had a combined
movie and vaudeville evening.
Nothing interferes with the progress
OF the tale. The dramatic line should
be the shortest line between two points
the inception Of the tale and its con-
clusion. And no rambling that is not
vital should be permitted to enter in.
If the original story from which this
picture was made has been changed to
some extent, 1t has not been turned
into sappy story that is just another
movie.
Mary Pickford,s new venture gives
you an actress whose performance is
magnificent. 1t sends you home with
an intense emotional reaction and sad
taste in your mouth But it is not
bad taste-and that is the only conces-
sion to moviedom which has been made.
Mary Pickford has great emotional
scope within her range, and if the right
characterizations continue to be chosen
for her the era of change shows us an
actress who has been Is years in silent
drama leaving that silence behind her
like an outworn shell. This fact alone
is a milestone in the progress Of an
industry.

paper Alliance) ..

I do not find 1t necessary to use it
more than once a week, with perhaps
a little touch up if gray spots appear.
I want to thank you heartily for the

make it set the color to put in a lit

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March so.-The
years 1928-29 will be known as the age
OF change in motion pictures.
The old order passed and a new
order entered In. That new order,
launched on the public in a crude and
awkward condition. is rapidly becoming
finished product, and product that
will remain.
A most startling feature of this gen.
eral change is the venture which Mary
Pickford, for Is years an artist of the
old school, has carried through to a
successful elimination.
At private showing T have just
seen her latest picture powerful emo
tional story with sad ending; story
done entirely in sound, and story
that could not have been told In any
other medium.
To conceive of the little girl with the
curls Of other days playing the part of
a small-town coquette in exaggerated
modern clothes is difficult.
But conceive of such character
facing the lawyer pleading with her to
testify against the name of her dead
lover that she may save the life of the
father who has killed him, and who
instead, grief-mad, screams, Let him
hang! I hope they hang him! I hate
him! He killed the only thing I ever
loved"
II you can imagine this situation,
poignantly played, with no concessions
to anything but pure drama, you have
some idea Of the radical departure Mary
Pickford has made in this period Of
change.
without calling in any outside au-
thorities, Sam Taylor, the director who
has been working with Mary Pickford
for some time now, has brought a sane
and comprehensive treatment to the
tale.
And the scene where the star tells the
story of the night of tragedy to her
black nanny. Graded in those loving
arms and with her head on that broad
bosom, is a clever combination of age
old human Dathos and modern theatre
calism
While the girl sobs her version of
the night the nanny rocks to and fro
and huns a cradle song. That low,
musical murmur backgrounds the re-
cital. It is an obbligato which keeps
the picture snugly within its frame of
the South-for to forget that this Is a
story of the South is to fight its psy-
chology Immediately.
No stunts were pulled to put this pic
ture over. I am so tired Of movies In
sound where every one but the audience
has been entertained by the sounds
made. There Is no nonsensical banging
OF doors or haihmering Of heels. The

GARDEN in ROMANCE
BY MARY POTTER DAVIS.


Among the beautiful poems gathered
into garden anthology. we find that
the poet has taken us around the cycle
1.-THE lilac bush is sweet again
Down every wind that passes
Float flakes from hedge-row and from
lane;
The bees are in the grasses.
And grief goes out and JOY comes In
And care Is but a feather;
And every lad his love can win
For this is April weather"
MAY is building her house. From the
dust of things
She is making the birds and the flowers
and the wings.
From October's tossed and trodden
She is making the young year out of
the old"
II knew that you were coming June,
knew that you were nearing,
saw 1t in the bursting buds Of roses
in the clearing.
The roses in the clearing, June, were
blushing pink and red,
For they had heard upon the hills the
echo of your tread"
cts July In my garden, and steel blue
are the thistles
And French gray the willows that bow
to every breeze
And deep in every current bush q rob-
Der blackbird whistles,
I'm picking, I'm picking, I'm picking
these
But what do such things matter when
have so fair a garden
And what Is half so lovely as my garden
in July?"
"The garden is an intimate and doth
keep in touch with us
Yet hath its own high moods and doth
impose them
On the mind of man, to shame his
pettiness.
So do I love its shimmering August
mood, keyed to the sun,
A harlequin Of color, birds and bloom.
A spell lies on the garden. Summer
sits with finger on her lips
AS II she heard the steps Of Autumn
echo on the hills"
"The End Of Summer" approaches:
when peoples in the garden bleed
And coreopsis goes to seed.
When pansies, poisoning past their
prime
Grow small, and smaller all the time.
When apple seeds. all white before
Begin to darken in the core,
I know that Summer scarcely here,
Is gone until another year.
Indian Summer" brings back for a
brief season the charm and beauty Of
the garden:
Let me remember you, voices of little
insects,
Weeds In the moonlight, fields all
tangled with asters,
Let us remember you, soon will the
Winter be on US,
Snow huShed and heartless."
The stiffness OF November Night
comes TO the garden:
Listen!
With faint, dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crispcd,
Break from the trees
And fall"
At last the garden lies locked in
silence and solitude. resting patiently
until the quickening touch Of Spring

Ny Neighbor Says:

Be careful not to burn leaves
too near your privet hedge. A
good healthy hedge is often de-
stroyed in this way.
If the hedge should be acct
dentally burned, do not dig 1t
up. Cut it back almost to the
ground. New shoots will spring
up and in another year you will
have a fairly good hedge.
A gas stove that sputters needs
attention. Clean out the holes
in the burners with a hairpin.
After the whites of eggs have
been beaten do not beat them
again when adding them to a
cake mixture. If beaten second
time the air that has already
been beaten into the eggs in
order to make the cake light will
be beaten out. Fold beaten egg
whites in.
