HOLLYW March 81
G.N.S0.-Every so often Holly
woods wheel of destiny stops on
a lucky combination-and a star
is born.
In the films game of chance the
players face even greater odds
than do those who place their
stakes upon roulette table.
But if the odds are more un-
favorable, so, too, is a winners
reward the greater. Stardom is
the goal of goals. Young and old
alike may play. More often than
not it is the young who pick up
the chips; the odds are in their
favor because there are more of
them in the game.
Now aid then, however, an old
Ster is favored. Some combina-
ton of circumstances dictates that
the wheel must stop to beStow IA
vor upon a player who is no longer
young.
One, we'll past middle age, is
Victor Moore. Twice failing to

for the Broadway stage.
Hollywood, I think, has
about the same proportion Of
failures in pictures, as the
leading New York producers
have in plays.
The difference is that
movie exchanges and smart
statesmen contrive to sneak
in some of these less-than-
hits on the grade B programs,
thus manage to salvage some
of the production losses. The
tears and the signs that they
have caused actors who
figured in these debacles are
in the library Of life's little
tragedies and sorrows.

Slick Roads
BogTraffic;
TwoInjured
Petersburg Men Are
Treated at Hospi-
tai After Crash At
Tar River Bridge

Slippery streets and highways i'm
peded traffic here last night and to-
day and caused at least one accident
in which two men were injured seri-
ously enough to require hospital at
.ention
The men injured were hurt when
their car went off the embankment of
the national highway as they were
approaching Tar river shortly before
last midnight, travelling southwark.
They were G.. c. Wright and Charles
B. Lewis, both of Petersburg. Their
car slipped on the icy pavement and
went down the em~ ankment It was
badly damaked. They were rushed to
Maria Parham hospital by passersby,
and renamed there overnight 1t was
understood they wouldshe released to-
day or tomorrow
Traffic was impeded at that point
pull the car in.
On the Greystone hill four miles
north of the city, a large number of
cars on the national shighway were
unable to negotiate the incline from
the opposite side after driving down
to the bottom Trafficswas stalled for
a considerable time at the spot be-
cause most vehicles were unable to
climb the steep incline, which is some
thing of problem to many cars un-
der ordinary circumstances.
Streets and highways were covered
with ice after a slow rain Monday
afternoon frOZe as temneratures slid
ded. It was not the coolest night of
the winter ky any means, but cold
enough to freeze the paved surfaces.
No serious accidents were reported
in the city, though some cars skid
ded around corners and curves. Some
found the steep approaches to the
Church-Charles street underpass diff
ficult to negotiate without great care
to guard against slipping and col
lisions.

Message
THE TOUCH OF THE
MASTERS HAND
BY REV. ]. EVERETTE NEESE.

Twas battered ana SCARED and the
auctioneer
Thought it scarcely worth his while
To waste much time on the old violin,
But he held it up with smile,
"What am I hidden, good folks" he
cried.
Who'll start the bidding for me?
A dollar, a dollar-now two, only two
Two dollars, and who'll make it three?
Three dollars once, three dollars
twice,
Going for three''-but no!
From the room far back a grey-haired
man
Came forward and picked up the bow;
Then wiping the dust from the old vio-
lin,
And Tightening up all the strings,
He played melody pure and sweet,
AS sweet as an angel sings.
The music ceased, and the auctioneer,
With voice that was quiet and low,
Said, "What am / bid for the old
violin?"
And he held it up with the bow.
"A thousand dollars-a-and who'll make
it two?
Two thousand-and who'll make it
three?
Three thousand once and three thou
sand twice
And going and gone!" he said.
The people cheered, but some of them
| cried,
1--WE do not quite understand
What changed it's worth?" the man re-
piled:
"The touch of the masters hand!"
And many a man with life out of tune,
And battered and torn with sin,
Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless
crowd,
Much like the old violin.
A "mess of pottage," a glass of wine
A game-and he travels on.
He's going once, and going twice,
He's going-and almost gone!
But the Master comes, and the foolish
crowd
Never can quite understand
The worth of soul and the change
that's wrought
Rv the touch of the Masters hand.
