Rogers Film
Appropriate
AS Farewell
"In Old Kentucky" Is
Admirably Suited to
Beloved Actor.
BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR.

IN THE last picture of his career,
you will find Will Rogers sharing
the klieg lights generously with his
as a minstrel interlocutor in prodding
along an hilarious story called I'm
Old Ken.Ccky" This minor epic of
feuds and horse racing opened at the
Palace Theater yesterday, where it will
contribute considerably to the pre-
Yule cheer until further notice.
There is nothing alarmingly new in
Mr. Rogers role to add to his stature
as a film performer. but he has his
usual fun with the business of uniting
a pair of young lovers. winning a race
in which honest poverty triumphS over
greedy aristocracy, and delivering
sundry Of those amiable homilies for
which he was famous.
I'm Old Kentucky" will, however,
increase the fame of Mr.. Rogers
memory among the profession, for, as
we have said before, he exhibits almost
incredible willingness to let other
actors hold the center of the stage.
This self-effacement may well become
legend in the history of the cinema.
so rarely is it found in the stars of
the Hollywood armament. Since the
co-stars are in this instance Charles
Sellon, Etienne Girardot and Bill
Robinson. the effect of the Rogers
generosity is especially pleasing.
Mr.. Sellon is cast as an astigmatic
old feudist who is forever shooting
at the wrong people in his attempts
to revenge himself on his sworn en-
emy; Mr. Girardot is his daffy crony,
a professional rainmaker yclept Plu-
vius J. Aspinwall, and Mr.. Robinson
is just Bill Robinson, the best tap
dancer in the world, and one of the
best colored actors, initiating a willy
groom, cook and butler in the Rogers
menage
This time Mr. Rogers is a rustic
horse trainer, employed by one Pole
Snattuck, a burly plutocrat, who
fancies himself as a racing magnate,
and when not trying to duck ad lib
shots from Ezra Martingale's gun. is
busy attempting to buy a certain race
horse named Greyboy. the property
OF old Grandpa Ezra's little grand
daughter.
Certain romantic entanglements de-
velop from this complicated situation.
but in themselves they are bit vapid
beside the high antics of Messrs.
Rogers, Sellon, Girardot and Robin
son.

has it that Manager Gene Ford has

And Mr.. Ford's show this week in
Baltimore which he staged has turned
out to be a major Success-So much
so that if such a thing could be
worked it would probably tour"

one tune in particular which the
Broadway merchants are angling for.

personal victory which was due to an
agreeable voice and most natural
and pleasing stage presence.
The sets. too. were unusually fine
and but for the fact that that 40

was something that should have been
remedied-the play moved at a nice

IT'S LIFE WORTH LIVING?" being
the Drama at IniSh," offered
locally last season by the Abbey The
ater Players, was chosen by the
Dramatic Club Of American University
as its Winter production, and a thor
oughly acceptable rendition resulted
last evening. The piece was swiftly
paced, though not inordinately hur-
ried.
One John Twolaig is the boss man
in Inish, by virtue Of being proprietor
of hotel, saloon and grocery. He con-
siders 1t incumbent upon himself,
therefore, to provide for the towns
cultural needs, to which end COM
pany of thespians is ensconced in the
only local theater. Their histrionic
efforts are principally by way of pro-
pounding the pointed query, "Is Life

Inish descend in attempting to solve
the conundrum prompts the disap-
pointed Twohig what with suicide

William Thompson played Twotig,

that the worst of all was the fall of
Peter Hurley, Stanch government

become swayed by facts and figures,
and voted the wrong way in the Dali.
An effective thinning of Sister Lizzie
Twohig, melted by the thought-pro-
voking dramaturgy to give expression
before all and sundry to the pangs of
unrequited love, was contributed by
Nellie Strong, while the transition of
Son Eddie from a gangling, bashful
youth to sordidly pensive, would-be
philosopher and back to his old self,
was ably executed by Richard Hum
mer. The object of Eddie's affections,
who finally reciprocated in the third
act, was effervescently played by Alice
Applegate
Virginia ONO started out in her role
of Wife Annie Twohig equipped with
a pleasing and authentic brogue, but
for some unaccountable reason, de-
cided to allow it to thin out after the
first chapter. The portrayal was
otherwise sufficient.
Margaret Johnston essayed Con-

The group. numbering less than so,

And Lord of Darkness, hear our praise
We trace to thee our joys and woes
To thee Of causes still the cause,
We thank thee that thy hand bestows,
We bless thee that thy hand withdraws
We bring no sorrows to thy throne;
We come to thee with no complaint.
In providence thy will is done,
And that is sacred to the saint.
Here, on this blest Thanksgiving night,
We raise to thee our grateful voice;
For what thou doest, Lord, is right
And, thus believing. we rejoice
Another New Englander wrote that poem Who
now remembers the name of Josiah Gilbert HOl-
land? Probably not many, except the special
student of American literature and journalism.
Yet there was time when Holland was known
to thousands of Americans and two of his long
poems were the best sellers" of the day. Critics
of today are inclined to dismiss his writings
with the adjective commonplace or the state
ment that his career as an author is ILLUSTRATIVE
of the evanescenCe of moral literature when un-
endowed with real talent" Yet the fact remains
that his Bitter Sweet" sold 10000 copies and his
"Kathrina, Her Life and Mine" sold 100000
copies back in the ffties and sixties.
Holland was born at BelChertOwn, Mass. July
"a, 1919 His first ambition was to be doctor
and in 1910 he entered a physicians office In
Northampton student where he remained
until he had learned the rudiments of medicine.
Graduated from the Berkshire Medical college
at Pittsfeld in 1914 he practced in Springfield
for three years before becoming convinced that
this was not his real profession.
Next he turned to journalism and in 1S47
founded weekly called the Bay State Courier.
This venture lasted only six months so he was
glad to accept an invitation to settle in Rich
mOnd, Va, a teacher in a private school.
Next he was elected superintendent of the pub
lie schools in Vcksburg, Miss, but after two
years there he returned to Massachusetts where
he Joined the staff of the Springfield Republican.
Hollands nom de plume of Timothy Titcomb'
soon became familiar one all over the country
and resulted in his becoming widely known as
lyceum lecturer. In 1853 his first long poem,
Bitter Sweet" was published by Charles Scrib-
ner and company, which also published most of
his later works. By 1867 Holland had become
so successful as a writer that he was able to
retire from his editorial duties on the Republic
an and the next year he sailed for a European
trip.
While abroad he made the acquaintance of
another touring American, Roswell Smith, with
whom he founded, in 1870, Scribner's Magazine,
publication made possible by the backing of
Charles Scribner. AS editor of the magazine
Holland was mainly responsible for its success
and he contributed to its columns his cater sue
cessful novels arthur Bonnicastle," Seven
Oaks" and Nicholas Minturn," as well as a
number of poems. Holland died in New Yora
city on October u, 1881.

weight, works from
three standpoints-food, rest, and
exercise. Tie overweight decreases
the amount of exercise taken. The
underweight increases his food in
take, Increases his hours of rest,
and decreases his exercise.
OF course, the biggest factor is
the food and when the appetite is
poor. the usual method Is to en-
courage the use of foods contain
ing vitamin 3, as it not only stimu-
lates the appetite but promotes the
flow of digestive. juices and the
proper working of the digestive
processes. This means that not only
will more food be eaten, but it will
be digested better and more com
pletely absorbed into the blood.
The foods rich in vitamin B are
the leafy notwithstanding, spin
ach, brussels sprouts, lettuce, turnip
or bet tops, and also caulifiower,
asparagus, celery, string beans, po-
tatoes, turnip, parsnip, tomatoes,
dried beans, fresh peas, and green
corn.
The fruits rich in vitamin B are
apples, cantaloupe, grapefruit, Or
anges, and prunes.
However, these foods, while in
creasing the appetite, are not the
best weight producers so that the
other foods-starches (bread, pO-
tatoes), proteids (meats, eggs, ce-
reals. and fats (butter, cream, fat
meat)-must be increased In
amount.
A further advantage Of the Vita
min B foods above mentioned is
that they supply "roughage" to the
Intestine, thus preventing cOnstipa-
ton which is so often present in
underweights.
In institutions for tuberculosis,
meat, eggs and milk are the chief
foods used for maintaining and In
creasing weight; the meat and white
of egg replaces worn tissues, the
yolk supplies lime.
l mentioned a case some years
ago where the patient weighed but
80 pounds. The physician increased
his food intake, and in addition had
him take two raw eggs between
meals, made him rest more, and got
him outdoors a number Of hours
daily. At the end of a month he
had put on about three pounds. The
progress was so slow that the pa
tient went into an institution in an
other city and in about six months
returned home weighing about 130
pounds.
What had brought about this
great increase in weight in this
short time? He had confined him
self almost entirely to eating raw
eggs and drinking milk-1S to 20
raws eggs, and six to eight quarts
Of milk every day.
Rest, of course, comes next to
food in increasing weight. If the
lean individual can get an extra
hour at night or during the day it
means that during that time he is
not using his body and body build
ing, not body tearing down, is go
ing on
