That question is aptly answered in “Pretty Ladies” coming to Crystal theatre on Sunday and Monday. The story gives an intimate closeup of the artists before the feotlights in the wings, dressing rooms back stage and in their homes. e It is a human story full of color and romance and it is not without pathos and a bit of comedy to lighten it. The leading roles are played by ZaSue Pitts and Tom Moore. The supporting cast contains sixteen other big names in filmdom including Conrad Nagel, Norma Shearer, Lilyan Tashman. . aaa ey The story based on Adela Rogers St. Johns’ Cosmopolitan Magazine story centers around the romance of an unloved plainlooking but fine grained Follies’s comedienne of great popularity and an easy going drummer. It is said to be bubbling over with good cheer humor pathos and originality. ; - |

Night in Borneo Has

. In all places there are lovely inter‘esting things to listen to at night, if you are not sleeping, but the night those elsewhere. There are deep Jungles of closely growing vines and ferns just off any road. The jungle “climbs up and -down very steep hills. ‘There are great trees and small ‘trees. Many have varieties of orchids and other air plants in them. And there are many monkeys. So there 18 the drip, drip of the gentle rain, and perhaps the roar of & little stream over full. Then-a great chatter with rough shrieks drowning out every -other noise for a while. Then as all the gentle noises begin broadeasting again, groan, swelling to a deafening crash. Other smaller groans - and crashes follow. A great tree, not too well rooted, has gone down, taking all the tangled other trees along. As things quiet down, you will hear a few tentative bird calls’' and just as you begin to feel ;sleepy, .the gun in the village is discharged. This means business and every one with work to do jumps out, for the time to get the work done when you live in Borneo is while the night's coolness lingers in the alr.

Anyway, She Thought She Got Fresh Air “Speakin’ of the weather 'minds me Doc Brady was tellin’ the boys up to the store the other night ’bout that old couple that lives in that house over to North Danville that Hiram Pritchard owned before he moved up to Center. Doc says the old ‘man won’t have no window open at night time and the old woman’s all for fresh air, and Doc says their hired gel told him that the other night the old folk were havin’ it back and to after they were In -bed ’bout the window not bein’ open, and Doc says the hired gel said the old woman got so mad she Jumped up and broke the glass with her fist, and it seems the next mornin’ the hired gel heard the old man laughin’ his head off.. Doc said the gel was scared at first, she thought the old man was havin’ a chokin’ fit. “It seems that when the old folks woke up they found the old woman had smashed the mirror instead of the window.”—Beatrice Herford in Life.

Appeals to Music Lovers The royal Welsh Bisteddfod 1s a gathering of Welsh culture that goes -back to the Twelfth century for its birthday, or even earlier. The chief ~choral prize 1s open to the world. It 'is an Olympic of song. If one wants to enjoy quaint *costumes and scenic effects 'reminiscent of a thousand years of a small natfon’s art and music, then Eisteddfod, with its gowned druids, tall-hat women harpists, banners inscribed with mystic Celtic symbols, with its bards touching the anclent sword of peace or blowing Hirla’s horn, is said to be the festival for any summer visitor to old Wales. —Kangas City Star. i :

First Use of Scissors

It is stated that those manufactured in Europe were copled from ‘the Persian. The Oriental scissors were very much ornamented and frequently in the form' of a bird, the blade forming the beak.

. Life’s Span Extended

In 1800 the average length of iife was thirty-three years, in 1855 it was forty years and in 1920 it was fiftyolght years. Actuaries of the large insurance companies report that within the last 80 years the span of human life has been lengthened ten years. The great decrease -in the death rate is due primarily to the better preservation and care of Intant life, but the actual longevity of ‘man has been advanced.
