With startling realism the yellow race, under the banner of All Singh, their sinster and fantatic leader, are seen sweeping on to their mission of destruction against the Caucasians. Edwin Stevens is the star, supported by faargaret Gale and Florence Malone. There Is a cast numbering scores of people and thousands of extras. Ralph I’arlette, the lecturer who appeared at Berne Tuesday night, says that the so-called "over-work" is not really overwork, but over-worry, The man himself is in a ]>osition to be a good authority on the'subject' for he was himself sent into the southwest once to die from breakdown from over work. Then he began to study people wdio overwork, and discovered this great truth about himself ind other similar cases. He has himself grown from a physical wreck to a happy, hearty man, doing three men's work by “working himself to death" at work he loves. It is also the truth that a great many of us worry ourselves almost to death trying to keep out of work. Work itself is a remedy, but worry is a terrible disease and has slain its thousands. Mr. I’arlette Is a cousin of Ralph Amrine of the Democrat. “GENEVIEVE, OH, GENEVIEVE!” ' "Genevieve, dear, cried someone who had a right to the “dear.” “Yes. dear" came back the answer from two feminine throats. But, no, that someone was not a Mormon. There are two ’Genevieves” —Hamper ami Blinn —in the all-star cast of William -Fox’s motion-picture drama, “A Wife’s Sacrifice.” That’s how it happened. And tlie duplication of Christian names—the real, not reel, life Christtian names—caused a deal of comely and confusion in producing the picture. The strangest thing about the 'wo Genevieves is that they both spell it file same way. And there are ill sorts of ways of spelling Genevievebut woe betide anybody who contracts it into Jenny. At the Crystal theater tonight. Be sure to see Jenny.
