Peter was sitting on the dam.

he preened his feathers. Eyes, sir, that

Then perhaps you'll stay few days"
said Peter. :.
Perhaps" replied Honker. THAT all
depends on the weather. We want to
get home as soon as we can"
"Home!" said Peter. "Homel Where
do you call home?"
Honker looked at Peter in surprise.
"Why, way up North, of course. Away
up North, where we go every year.
Where else would it be?"
Peter scratched his nose.
well, said he, ut seems to me queer
to call place where you spend the
smallest part of your time home You
spend more time down in the South
than you do there. I should think
you'd call the South home"
Peter" replied Honker, what Is your
idea of home?"

where you live"
Sometimes it Is" said Honker, "but
not always Home is where your heart
is. 1t is where those you care for have
grown up with you. My home is where
my nest is every year and where my
children are born, and that is up in the
Far North. We go down South because
we cannot live in the frozen North in
the Winter. If we could, We wouldn't
go South We love the North. We do
not love the South. That is why we do
rot nest there. So, now chat 1t Is
Spring, we are eager to get back home. !"

terrible. It is wonder to me that I
am alive this minute. It is wonder
to me that any of us are alive. 1t used
to be just as bad in the Spring, but now
they no longer shoot at us in the Spring.

glad to get home, and every member Of

This Paramount sound picture catches
the spirit that enabled the original stage
production to delight audiences during
five-year run on Broadway. for "Abie'S
Irish Rose" is nothing more than very
human story, story replete with roll
licking good humor, into which a Sc
robustness of purpose is carefully inter-
woven. And it is this combination of
comedy and tragedy that gives the con-
vlncing quality to "Abie's Irish Rose"
The story concerns the love of Abic
Levy and Rosemary Murphy, which Is
bitterly opposed by Abie's father and
Rosenary's father. Old Solomon Levy
wants his son to marry a Jewish girl
and Patrick Murphy wants his daughter
to marry some one with a good old
Irish name. But Able and Rosemary
are in love. Prejudices and intolerance
mean nothing to them. And so. they
brave the wrath of their parents and
marry. AS time passes. both fathers
finally como to the realization that per-
haps they have been hasty in their
Judgment and that after all love is a
sufficient basis for happiness
Charles Buddy" Rogers has the role
of Able and Nancy Carroll, the role of
Rosemary. Jean Hersholt, famous
character actor, is seen as Abies ia
ther Others in the cast are Farrell
Macdonald. Bernard Corey, Ida Kra-
mer. Nick Cogley. Camillius Pretal and

PITY the Prop Man,

EERIE mystery can be most cerie in
an antique shop. according to Ben
Jamin Christensen, Swedish director. so
something on the order of THE Old
Curiosity Shop" is being filmed N The
latest mystery thriller Christensen IS
directing for First National, THE House
of Horrors"
Louise Fazenda, who, with Chester
Conklih and Thelma Todd. heads the
cast, calls this shop, in which SO much
of the films action takes place, "the
prop mans nightmare" The term
holds good in more ways than one. Not
one, but many, studio property men
must have had Nightmares over the diff
ficulty of assembling so many grisly,
grotesque, picturesque and bizarre ar
ticles in short period of time. And
when assembled the collection was truly
a nightmare
Skulls of various kinds figure promi-
nently, of course. In addition, there are
mummies and prehistoric animals, relics
of black mass, demonism and other
medieval horrors, torture apparatus
from the Spanish Inquisition, taxi
dermized" poisonous .serpents and bot
ties supposed to contain deadly potions,
used by the Medicis and other adept
prisoners of the Middle Ages.

filmed with full sound effects.

made lot of money, paid off a mort
gage on their farm and were able to
buy another piece of land to add to it..
Accounts of their unusual talents began
to travel over the country. A lengthy
article describing the act of the four
Cherry Sister finally found its way into
the New York Sun. 1t caught the
eye of the great impresario. Oscar Ham
merstein, who forthwith dispatched an
agent to look the sisters over.
When the agent first saw the sisters
amble onto the stage at Peoria, ILL.,, he
almost collapsed in his seat. But he
quickly recovered from the shock and,
being gentleman of some perspicacity,
promptly came to the conclusion that
they were so bad they were good. He
offered them salary that made their
eyes bulge and signed them to an eight
week contract calling for nightly APP
pearanceS at HammerStein's Olympia
Theater, then at Broadway and Forty
fourth street
Hammerstin was appalled, when he
saw the sisters in rehearsal This is
awful" he groaned and promptly an
nounced the intention of firing his
agent. But that far-sighted young
man was able to convince Hammerstein
that in the very awfulneSS of the act
was its precise excellence, and he as
sured his boss that with the proper
amount OF press-agenting the act would
be a great success.
Their New York debut was set for
November 16, 1885,. At this time, Jessie.
the youngest of the sisters. was II, and
Ef1e, the oldest. % The sisters were
fully prepared for the triumph which
was soon to be theirs. but, strange as
1t may seem, the critics were dnani-
nous in describing the show as terrible.
III was awful" wrote Nym Crinkle. dra-
matte editor of the World Under
the heading -Four Freaks From Iowa "
the Times said: Never before did
New York see on the stage anything
in the least like the four Cherry Sis
tiers from Cedar Rapids. Iowa. 1t is
to be sincerely hoped that nothing Ike
them will ever be seen again." The
Evening World called the show "a
pitiable exhibition" and devoted almost
two columns to details. All the papers
condemned Hammerstein for profaning
the stage with such a performance and
for "butchering four innocent women
to make a Roman holiday"
But the sisters resented the unkind
newspaper criticisms of their act much
more than they did Mr.. Hammerstein's
alleged cruelty and they went on play-
ing to full houses The long and color
full newspaper reviews provided Just the
publicity to make the act e tremendous
success.
After packing them in for eight weeks
at the Olympia. the Cherry Sisters, now
famous, concluded their New York ap-
pearance with two-week stand at

Proctor's, for which they received $400
week. They then made long tour
which included Canada. At Toronto the
flood of vegetables that assailed them
almost broke up the performance.
1t wasn't long before the throwing of
vegetables had become something of
tradition and soon there was scarcely
a young blade of the late nineties but
boosted he had heaved a cabbage or
two at the Cherry Sisters-a boast
which the sisters today insist had only
rare justification in fact.
The sisters travelled about the country
and enjoyed wide popularity until Jessie
and Effie contracted typhoid fever dur
ing tour of the South in 1903. Jessie
died and the three remaining sisters re-
tired to their farm. venturing forth
only for an occasional performance in
nearby towns. Later the sisters opened
bakery in Cedar Rapids, specializing
became famous for It's excellence during
the war. In 1923, Effie came out of re-
tirement to run for mayor of Cedar
Rapids. She came within a few hun
dred votes of getting the nomination.
although she was soundly defeated when
she ran again in 1925.
Although the farm and the bakery
and an occasional venture into politics
take most of the sisters time, Effie has
contrived to write three novels and a
play. She has offered none of them
for publication, although she is seriously
considering submitting her latest. 1t is
called THE Blacksmith's Daughter" and
will include an photographed sketch
of the author. But she will probably
delay its publication, for with the re-
turn of the Cherry Sisters to the stage
the biographical sketch may require
an additional chapter.
