OVIE FLASHES

Lyric

TONIGHT. Nearly every theatre goer has seen either "The Old Homestead," or "Way Down East," and most of them have 6een both, not only once but several times. What was It that made these two rural dramas such remarkable successes? Not the acting alone, as the casts were changed innumerable times; not the scenery, nor the spoken lines of the actors, for hundreds of more sumptuous productions have been seen on the stage, and as many dramas with more brilliant and more scintillating lines written. This

comes to the Lyric tonight. TOMORROW. "The Nature Man" at the Lyric tomorrow. Almost every man at some stage of his life has had an earnest hankering to throw off the shackles of convention, to return to the modus Vivendi of the primordial man and live the wild, free existence of the forest and stream. Although this longing for perfect freedom assails us with frequent recurrences, it is always cast off at the end of the dream. One man, however, defied convention and actually demonstrated that the chasm between the man of the Neolithic period and his brother of the present day is but a short step. That man was Joe Knowles, artist, lecturer, naturalist and man Nvith a deep reverence and love for all outdoors.

TOMORROW. "The Rack," at the Palace tomorrow. Blanche Gordon lives unhappily with her husband. There is some jealousy on both side, and of this fact Jack Freeman, a devil-may-care man about town takes advantage. Jack has quarreled with his own wife

Louise, on account of his attentions to other women. It was he who sowed discord between Donald McKenzie and his wife Effie. This unhappy girl committed suicide, and Donald McKenzie went abroad and became inebriate in his trouble. When he returned to New York, he swore to be avenged on Freeman.

Preparing a good old-fashioned muddy roadway for the benefit of thr :uoviug picture camera hardly appears to be a difficult undertaking, but 'when one tries for this effect in '.sin -baked California on a day in ::s;;i,t when Old Sol is blistering .-very thing and .everyone with in range,' .i:e problem beco:ies more intricate, particularly when the nearest well is . hree miles away. This .s the situation which confronted Director Lloyd of the i'allnsura::tount organization in Los Ad".'les when, upon fij.isbiijK a remark-. .!.! realistic street set offeiing an rx:ict replica of an Indiana Iloosier roadway for the Booth Tarkington drama "The Gentleman from Inliana." he had to give the entire set

a rain-soaked appearance with plenty of mud; ankle-deep, good-sticky mud. The fire hose was set working upon the road and hundreds of gallons-of perfectly good well water hauled from its base three miles off, was turned upon the sun-cracked earth only to have it disappear as though by magic. The earth swallowed up every drop as fast as it was poured upon it. It looked like there would be no mud obtainable for many moons at this rate Desperate, with darkness falling and the time for the night rainstorm scenes approaching, the Pallas director bestirred himself and was observant enough to spot a slight "sink" in an adjoining lot The "sink," dry for months, now contained a stream of flowing water. Divining that here was the "robbers' roost" of his precious water, the director soon liad his men damming the gully at either end, whereupon he ran a line of hose and speedily converted the improvised reservoir into a miniature lake. The resourceful producer then resumed the flooding process back at the roadway and had the satisfaction of seeing the ground at last retain the water. By marching squads of "supers" and a few .teams of horses in the roadway he soon produced a requisitely realistic quagmire. Damming the gully had blocked the underground channels veming the porous ground through which the water leaked, the pressure of the "lake" operating as a practical flood gate. Moral: A moving picture director lias to be anything and everything from a drainage engineer to a poet and a blacksmith.

No efforts have been made by County Superintendent C. O. Williams and teachers in the county schools toward co-operation with the Wayne county centennial committee, which has laid preliminary plans for the celebration in this county. Mr. Williams said today that he was not asked by the committee to co-operate with them until a short time ago and that It is too late now for the county schools to do anything, for some of the schools are within two months of summer vacation. Without the co-operation of the school children the central committee will be severely haniicapped in arranging for the pageant which is to be one of the chief featurss of the program. "If I had been asked to co-operate

with the committee sooner, something could have been done, but it is too late now," said Mr. Williams. "I am

not on the committee and although I understand that it has been planned to include the school children in the program, I have not been conferred with regarding the plans." The school children have taken a great interest in the work outlined for them at the beginning of the year, in which they have been asked to write essays or historical sketches on subjects pertaining to Wayne county history. The teachers have co-operated in this, Mr. Williams said, and as a result a large collection of essays will be turned over to the Wayne County Historical society within the' next few months to be included in a

published history of Wayne county.

FRANCIS ANSGOMBE TO TEACH SCRIPTURE

Robins Spend Winter In Gayle's Backyard

"I feel guilty of cruelty to animals.' said A. D. Gayle, 204 South Sixteenth street, in telling about two robins that have braved the chilly blasts of winter by refusing to go south with their comrades last fall. "Almost every morning this winter I have seen these robins perched in our back yard and I feel that it is my fault that they have stayed." Mr. Gayle said that his family fed the two birds last summer and fall until they almost became pets. On the cold days of winter, he said, they would huddle close together in an effort to keep warm.

of seeing this distinguished actor in a silent drama, and that the event will be one of extreme interest and mark an epoch in the history of the screen, goes without saying.

TONIGHT. "The Siren's Song," at the Palace tonight can easily be highly recommended as a masterpiece. The story has in it many scenes that are hair-raising, the most prominent of which is the fight which equals that in "The Spoilers" on board an oceangoing steamer at the climax of which the villan throws the hero from the deck, the latter falling a distance of over seventy-five feet into the raging ocean. To make this scene realistic it was necessary for it to be taken in the dead of night, and althorugh there was a life-saving crew in a boat within a reasonable distance to pick him up, it took them over half an hour

MINISTER TELLS TRUE FORD STORY

"I felt sorry for them." he said. "I don't think they realized what they were doing by staying up here all winter. They no doubt expected me to keep them warm as well as feed them and I should have liked to take them in the house but they refused my invitations." . Whether or not these are the two robins that have been seen in other parts of the city during the past few days is not known but several residents have reported that they have seen robins this early in the year.

SOCIALISTS BOOST LECTURE COURSES i The Socialist Local Richmond met last evening. The social committee reported that a pie social would be held in the local hall next Friday evening.

Arrangements are under way whereby a socialist newspaper (daily) The Milwaukee Leader will be delivered in Richmond.

We have the word of Rev. C. Huber, pastor of the St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran church fcr the remarkable fact that a Ford automobile cruising merrily along knocked a baggage car or two off the track east of Columbus. As a result, the train bearing Rev. Huber home from Pennsylvania was delayed and the minister arrived here yesterday afternoon five hours late. The pastor of St. Paul's church had represented the Olive Eranch Synod at a meeting In York, Pa., of the Board of Home Missions and Extension and had participated in discussions which came before the meeting of the advisory council. Twenty-four synods were represented. Rev. Huber also visited his uncle In Williamsport and stayed a day or two in Milton, Pa.

Try the Children's Medicine. Many parents are inclined to believe that medicine used for children is not suitable for themselves. While it is true that larger doses are required, it is unreasonable to suppose that a disease in an adult should be treated any differently than the same ailment in a child. Mrs. Earl Jennings, Lima, Ohio, writes, "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a splendid medicine for children. I have used it myself for colds and it has always given me the desired relief." Obtainable everywhere. adv.
