"Merely Mary Ann" One
of Seasons Best PLaYs.

With a story fitted perfectly into
its principals, thoroughly realistic set
tings, an excellently chosen group of
supporting players and the admirable
direction of Henry King, a splendid
background is afforded the famous
film "team"-and they respond to the
opportunity with some of the finest
dramatic and emotional work it has
ever been this reviewers privilege
to witness. They exceed their epochal
work in 9TH Heaven"
Miss Gaynor is more wistful and
charming than ever as the depressed
little maid-of-all-work in the dingy
London rooming house, who shyly falls
in love with the clever but impecunious
composer, played by Charles Farrell
his best talking picture performance.
Their delightful romance, with it's vivid
moments of sheer pathos, is one of the
most appealing stories ever to reach
the speaking screen, and Director King
has handled it to perfection, touching
just the right note throughout.
Janet Gaynor, who played the role of
an orphan in Daddy Long Legs" re-

The next big move that will
confront the people of the state
is the income tax amendment
to be voted on at the next
election. Every fair thinking
man is of the opinion that this
is a fair and just way to levy
taxes providing the method
takes the place of several other
tax schemes now on the books
and not be just another tax.

it would lay off several men

sincerely to be hoped that no
curtailment will result in this

are, and always have been,
short of wardens. According
to population we have plenty

First New England Homes

Pine boarded walls and ceilings were
generally used in the early New Eng

they were rubbed with Oil or wax, but
the wood was in its natural color.
Paint or stain was not used until much

Children will enjoy their meals and
take more interest in eating what they

 Too Far Behind
 Although the Indians have shown surprising strength during the past weeks, Cleveland and New York can practically be counted out of the pennant scramble. The Yankees are nine games behind Philadelphia while Cleveland, in fourth place, trails the leaders by ten full con- tests. The New York pitching staff is too cratic for the Yankees to be- come serious contender while Cleveland apepars to lack the all- round class of q championship team.
 The Indians advancel to within 8 game of third place yesterday when New York, 4 to l. After being held to, they came from behind to defeat first eight innings, Cleveland rallied in the ninth and scored four runs on homer by Averill, triples by Porter and Hyatt and a single by Hodapp.. Wes Terrell held the Yankees to three hits and would have scored shut out except for his two-base wild throw in the fifth inning when he tried to pick Dickey 0fi first.
