Ghost Goes West
Is Little's Revival.

IT you saw "The Ghost Goes
West" when it first was around you
no doubt have warm spot in your
heart for it and remember it as one
OF the gayest film comedies you ever
saw. Chances are, though, that time
has dulled the impression of the pic
ture enough that you do not remem-
Der how good 1t really is, at least do
not readily recall some of the mag
nif1cent touches of Rene Clair's d.
rection. At least that is the feeling
brought away from another viewing
of the comedy at the Little Theater,
where it now is being revived-the
realization that THE Ghost Goes
West" is one of the brightest, most
hilarious, most completely delight

the Glourie castle battlements
through his couple of hundred years
in limbo, looking for the last of the
McLaggens, that he may avenge
the Glourie name and join his an
ceStors. It Is the grandest fun of
all perhaps when Donald Glourie
(also Robert DonaD finds that last
McLaggen for Murdoch. OF course
there are such other moments as
Murdoch's turning up on the battle
ments to play kissing games with
the lass who is the sauce in Donald's
lamb broth, and there is a parade,
in the manner of the Lindbergh re-
ception, for the ghost when he ar
rives In America, having come here
when q businessman bought the
castle. It's good time all the way,
in fact, Mr.. Clair having directed

pretty, in an impish sort of way, she
looks as much like a mystic as Jeeter
Lester looks like Ina Claire's father,
but she admits without shame that
the occult is for her. She does not
know why, but thinks probably be-
cause it is fun. She has no notion
whether she believes what psychics
tell her, but she does not care so
long as they are telling her some
thing.
Miss Whitney's enthusiasm for
the occult becomes most significant
when you are trying to interview
her. In the course of the first few
minutes it comes up that she is liv-
ing at the Shoreham during her
week at the Earle, and that some
how leads to the remark that Myrus
is working there.

an invitation from the Egyptian

Poetic Thoughts
Sef-Pity
By MORRIS GIBBS. Sr.

The human likes to find excuses
Why they do things singy in deuces
For poor is better than none,
So they ready when an argument has begun
Imagined wrongs take first place
In the minds of those who can't get to first base
For their arguments weak and there's the pail
OF stubbornness which comes when against stonewall
When self-pity overwhelms your mind,
Sing tune which will knock it blind
For if you don't, it won't be long,
Before you'll be singing melancholy song.
Use your brains and not your feelings
To be better equipped in all your dealings,
For others may have different view
Which sef-pity won't allow you to see thru.
Self-pity has dwarfed many persons Efe
In making them think theirs is load of strife
For when obsessed with this unholy thought
Sef-pty doesn't allow happiness to be sought

Dec. %, 1897.
MOTHER
No words to tell how much you're
missed,
Nor to reveal my longing for your
goodnight kiss,
No prayer is said,
No poem of worth is read,
Which fails to cause a tear to be
shed
No day goes by,
Without sigh and a wish to see,
Once more the love in your eyes.
No morn do I waken,
No step is taken,
That / do not pray brings me near
er, nearer,
To the land of the blest,
Where you are at rest.
No tears,
No signs,
Just rest.
