'CLEOPATRA. One of the greatest motion pictures ever made will be presented at the Crystal tomorrow afternoon and evening when the $55,000 production, “Cleopatra,” which required three months to complete, will be given. “Cleopatra” features Miss Helen Garden, whose acting is in itself a glorious poem. This part would tax the art of Bernhardt. Miss 'Gardner’s rythmic beauty and dramatic instincts, her intellectuality, culture and delicacy, have combined in her work to vivify and ennoble the character of ‘Royal Egypt,” even as Bernhardt might have done at the age of twenty-

AUTHOR AT HOME (CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE) one is brought quickly to the inhabited part of the ike, and cottages appear s< ou after leaving the Porter home. Through the wooded grounds, however, she has made a gravel drive way. winding through the magnificent trees to join the country road, the drive way being probably a mile in length. On this the automobile makes good. time. The telephone also cuts off distance quickly, but otherwise Mrs. Porter is as isolated as though set down in a vast wilderness. Her own lighting and heating and water systems supply the estate. The cottage, which is built of logs, in harmony with its rustic setting, is set in the midst of a woods of the finest trees in the country.* Mr. Wallace, a tree “doctor,” or surgeon, from the forestry department, was secured by Mrs. Porter to examine all the trees on the grounds, to care for them, that they might be preserved. Mr. Wallace spent several months there, giving each tree his personal supervision and administering to its needs witli the same care that a human might require. Not only is the woods ideal, but there every variety of wild flower and song bird can be found. Only wild flowers will be fostered and Mrs. Porter and the three men w:io are working under her supervision are now engaged in transplanting those wild flowers to the places where she desires them. They will be cultivated and brought to perfection. On the slope to the lake, the wild flowers will be set in tiers. The wild yellow flowers will be in one terrace; the white ones next; then the purple and blue and so on. The scarlet cardinal flower will be given its own place, and every jvild flower, native to this part of the state, will be at home at some place on the estate. It is expected that fully five years will elapse before Mrs. Porter will have accomplished her desires relative to the grounds. The fences dividing her grounds from the adjoining ones are of rustic design, and over these wild vines will be induced to trail. Wild grapevines are preserved in their natural beauty. Many clear, sparkling springs abound The Cun Parlor. Mrs. Dugan was also much interested in the special features of the home. Besides the eighteen rooms there are two large screened sleeping porches. But especially attractive is the large

sun parlor. Mrs Porter does and is planning to do much of her work tl r and it is said to be especially beautiful in wlnteu. The long, unbroken expanse of snow, the solitude, th" lake, the sun light, cheering the par lor, make It. especially attractive. |Tlien, too, there -,s a long window ledge. Here the authore; spread, crumbs In winter and the birds, whe she loves an dtherefore understand-, and who Is in turn, understood and loved by feathered songsters, come and feast to their heart’s cont-nt, while site makes intimate friends o. each. The birds will always be v.ci 'come visitors at the Porter home. The interior of the home is finish' d in the most beautiful of woods. The large hall is finished in wild cherry J which was taken from tiie grounds several years ago. There are si? large fireplaces in the home, the onin the hall being especially large These are built of beautiful stones t collected and brought from various places by Mrs. Porter. The furnish Ings are chiefly mahogany. Tile garage is said to be as equally attractive as the home, and is said to be as beautiful as many fine home Mr. Porter spends the week at Ge neva where lie attends-to his banking [business, and makes trips to the homo j for the week-end. On account of supervising the construction of the new home and i grounds, Mrs. Porter’s annual book was not written this year. It Ins been the custom for her to write one book a year, the same to issue in .August on her birthday. This year was an exception. She is, however, getting material for a new book ready, and this will be written tills wint< ;■ in her new home, where everythin... with its quiet and charm, will be conducive to the best work. Mrs. Porter’s success with her books has been a marvelous one. Besides adding to the golden treasure of present-day fiction and nature works of real instructive value, her books being listed for several years among the “best sellers,” she has added much wealth to her owir bank a< count, the royalties from tho books being heavy. Several of the books have beer, dramatized and are being played on the stages of the largest cities in this I country and abroad. Enter any book shop in any city, north or south, dast or west, and one will not feel a stranger for Gene Stratton-Porter’s name confronts him from the backs of familiar volumes, which must constant ly be replaced to fill the ri < urring va

Only a couple of days ago while! s testing out ti new motor, this intrepid! l x aviator starter a series of loop-the- 1 ’ e loops when his motor stopped dead ?• on him. • The youngster merely had [ s straightened his machine out and gliding with the grace of a hawk flew i- over half a mile on pure nerve and landed safely a few feet from the >' spot where he had started his great 1 o flight. He was right back in the air the next day with the same motor and - accomplished a perfectly dazzling S series of loops and did some upside down flying that kept thousands of ! spectators gashing forbreath until i-1 they saw him straighten away/or the s I glide to earth. k I Smith positively will do all the s tricks that Lincoln Beachey and other '’■world famous aviators are staging for I ‘ the great cities of the country. He i 8 i was secured to the Decatur fair by , reason of his close friendship for the . • 'men that are responsible for bringing ( r him to this city. ( J Smith however, will be only one ] i' lof a score of attractions at this big j I show. Lovers of horse flesh are to ( r | have an inning as J. M. Erisinger, j ■'the great local importer and breeder ( V' of fancy horse flesh, has charge of j e this portion of the show and his wide ( r acquaintance among breeders and imK porters all over the middle west in- . I- sures that he will bring a truly wonderful show to this cit. The lovely ■ Steele’s park is to be in its best bib , and tucker for this fair which opens , - September 29 and closes on October , n 2. — NOTICE FOR RECEIVING BIOS FOR A TEMPORARY LOAN i-1 e!
