OF DRAMATIC ‘ 'H’ all means Fox production and enthralls pounce Pleasure | | (1 L1 s FREDERICK PERRY : PLAYS AT FOX’S Coming direct from a private exhi- bition at the Broadway Theater where it was shown to a delegation ci New. York theater mana- gers “Dr, Rameau the latest William Fox production, featuring Frederick Perry, star of “On Trial,” was shown \at the local Fox theater for the first lime yesaterday before a public gath- ering and proved to be an attraction long to be remembered. Tensely dramatic, with situations that are gems of remarkable pulling power, from the very start the specta- ter is held enthralled by the swift moving action. A cast of superla- tive screen stars give most noteworthy support to the star and for Mr. Per- ry’s debut before the camera he has acquitted himself in wonderful fash- ion. The scene where Jean Southern is driven from her fathers home in a terrific rainstorm is an excellent bit of staging. It was necessary for her to make this scene in a honest-to- goodness storm, clad only in a light frock. Needless to say the .idea did not particularly appeal to this little lady; but she was game. With a pout and a shrug of the sholders she prepared for the wetting. At the word “camera” she lashed out into the rain, The scene was not satisfactory to di réctor Davis. “‘Quickly, Miss Southern” he called, do that over,” Again she dashed out into the rain. This time the scéne was satisfactorily done, and Miss Southern retired to her dressing Yoom to change her clothes. When sh came out a newspaper man who hap pended to be present askéd her how it felt- to be drenched so thoroughly. Miss Southern smiled " a bit and answered: “First, while waiting to go out into the rain,' I felt as if I was about to have a tooth pulled. Then 1 felt an almost overpowering de- sire to 'giggle. After that, while T was in the rain, it felt like Coney Islanad.” “Dr, Rameau” will be shown for the last times tonight with several single reels to augument the interest- ing program. For tomorrow night a big program of 10,000 feet of film will be shown with some of the fore- most big featurés as the stellar at- tractions. EVELYN N. THAW IN FILM PLAY AT POLI'S The coming week is one of more than ‘usual midsummer interest to lo- .| sal theatergoers, Poli’s theater offer- ing a aeries of attractions that séem destined to arouse much public inter- ‘est The Sunday::evening entertain- ment will be of unysual interest there being three features that never fail to appeal. First might be mentioned the Poli Weekly instituted two weeks ago jand an instanéous hit in which the entire company of Poli' Players will appear. This picture was taken a few days ago at Laurel Park and is sald by those who have seen it in private view to be the equal of any of the comedies of the well known companies. An amusing story is told and the various scenes unfold happen- ings that are sure to keep the audi- ence in laughter.

Charley Caap- lin will be seen in one of his best comedies. There will be many other features on the program—ten in all— making a program of sixteen reels of pictures. As usual, no admission will be charged, but a silver collection will be taken at the door. The attraction in which the Poli Players 'will appear all next week is the popular rural comedy “The Dairy Farm,” a play that nas taken rank with “Way Down East,” and otHers that the Poli Players have been seen in this season. It tells an interesting story in a convincing way and throughout the piece is comedy that brings many laughs. Mr. Ayres and Miss Skirvin will have important roles and the other favorites will also be prominent in the story. Vews Daily Fashion Talks BY MAY MANTON FOR THE SUMMER RESORT HIS is the scasont when summer resorts and their needs are sure to be under: consideration.

The young girls' dress shows the pretty bertha effect that is so fashionable this summer and is always so bécoming to youthful figurés. Here, it is made of white taffeta with a little flowered design and is trimmed with lace. It could be _copied, however, in one of the pretty embroidered cotton crapes or cotton voiles or any similar material or in g!au; taffeta and in place of the frill of lace on the skirt, could be used one of the matérial or a succession of narrow ruffies or ruches.

Clarence Mc- Daniéls, a former clerk in the office, is under arrest here, having confessed the theft. It was through McDaniels confession that the money was recov- ered. He directed: the inspectors to dig beneath a chicken coop in his yard at Palo Alto, Cal. They found about $12,000 buried in a tin can. In ad- dition McDaniels turned over $500-and his wife $500-more. - McDaniels was a clerk in the Palo Alto post office at the time of his arrest, having been transferred shortly after the robbery at Wallace.

"I often wish I gould get at that little girl of the long ago and give her a few of the - ures some of the children round me have so many of and appreciate , ¥ 60 little.” That is a perfectly natural and justifiable séntiment and one which 1 fancy many of ue experience when we #¢ the pampered children of today's upper and middle classes. But isn’t it strange that some of us don't go a step farther than just f‘,flinl. and, since we can't get hold of the little girls and boys of the long ago, put others like them in their places and give them happiness? Another Way to Sottle the Score. There are plenty of children in the world today to whom such pléasures as thé circus or the menagerie, expengive toys and pleasurs trips are as rare as they were to most children in the simpler days. They may not be édmong the children of our intimate friends, but they are all about us and are not hard to find if we try. And it seems somehow as if the little wistful faces that haunt our memory would brighten if they saw these other children made happy. And yet how seldom it occurs to anyone to settle the score in that way. One of the biggest lessons in life, it seems to me, is to be taught kind- ness and sympathy for the hard experiences of others by our own tmuu&u and deprivations. What Is the Use of Sorrow If We Don't Learn? Think how useless and meaningless suffering and sorrow and depriva- tion are if théy don’'t teach us to understand and sympathize, And yet there are people who can pass through them without having their sympathies broadened or their understanding deepened. “Our sympathy is never very déep unless founded on our own feelings.” someone has said. “We pity, but do not enter into the grief we have never felt.” That, of course, is inevitable for the average person, without a spirit- ual imagination, but to be unable to enter into the griefs we have once ex- perienced merely because that time is past is quite another thing. Spiritual Defoctives. We call the child who forgets one lesson as fast as he learn the mext a defective. Aren’t people who forget one lesson in sympathy as soon a8 they learn the next spiritually defective? 1 know a woman who is the absorbed and devoted mother of four chil- dren. Tell her of any sorrow connected with motherhood and she is all sympathy. Tell her of any other trouble, éven those of which her own éx- perience should have taught her spmething, and she will probably say, “Isn't that too bad Did I tell you what Jane said yesterday?” or “Listen, is that the baby?” Painful experience is the rough, bitter shell; sympathy is the kernel. Are we not foolish when we refuse the sweet forced to accept the bitter? sweet French Women Could Run Household , On What Average American Wastes | Strict Economy Marvellous Indoor’ Sport, Says Domestic Efficiency Expert of New York d 4 s Housewives’ League.

In a short time it became so itchy that at night it prevented me from sleep- ing and I scratched it so hard that I broke the skin. The clothing irritated it and added to the inflammation. My ecalp also bothered me. ‘The dandruff scaled off and < could be seen plainly in my halr and when combing it would fall like snowflakes.

Then for a moment she re- lents. Economy an Indoor Sport. “Perhaps,” she says, “if the utter foolishnéss of waste were a lesson from kindergarden on the ceat to the home that the girl who misses that fundamental lesson incurs would not be so shockingly great. “If, like me, they had been mad to think about that question from ecarly youth they would have a fairer vision of economy, not as a hardship but as a woman's great household game. - “And it is that,” she said ‘“just th, and a great deal of fun when you do it well, It s a thing we should play at here in the city par- ticylarly, for city life is most deter- lorating. It as at once too alluring and a state of satisfaction is mot to be reached. It is the metropolitan mirage. “Women in the country have free- dom of space, and with. freedom of body they fall naturally into an ex- pansiveness of mind that doesn't come to the lady of a bandbox apart- ment. How can women be good housekeepers in little city flats? They 2re things that inspire restlessness. They inspire to a state of moving in and moving out and moving in again. and peace never comes to them under their diminutive roofs. All that is the matter is that they are cooped up. But they don’t realize that.” Baker's Bread a Menace. “Why are women living alone so unkind to themselves?” asks . Mrs. Richards. “Why should men in a family seem the only thing to cook for? “Women come home tired and al- most too worn out to eat—and what nourishment do they give their poor starved hodies? Bread and butter and a cup of tea—invariably! And at that baker's bread! If women only knew the harm baker's bread did them-—and bread is so simple to bake at home. You should see the loaf I baked this morning,” she asked re- flectively, a gleam of pride in her eye. “No time?’ I murmured. French for Rag. “Why, women waste much more time than it would take to bake their bread over other things from which they get absolutely no results. Look &t the thousands of womeén who will spend a whéle morning at the bargain counters buying a blouse for a dollar or 80 whic¢h 1s not fit to wear. I s, e- clally mention blouses, as they seem ' to grow up like blades of grass. Yes, chiffon blouses at $1.50! Chiffon is the Prench for rag, and rags they truly are,” she added grimly. “Why don’t the women buy a few yards of stuff and sit at home and make them- selves ‘a little waist during the time they have been standing at the bar- galn counter getting irritated and ner- vous—one of a large crowd, It makes me sad when I think that in many cases theee little blouses do not last the time it has taken to earn the money to pay for them, The result, too, is that women have no indivia- uality in their clothing; everything they have on looks as if it came out of the same shop. 1 “And underclothing! feel tempted to buy little shop e nightgown, but I examine It closely and I see that it would pers haps last & hundredth part of the Sometimes 1 after we have been 5 \ washings my home made one will do, & and then, too, this will be one I should be afrald to be found dead in | in the morning.” I smiled. “But it is certainly a factor to be reckoned with,” she affirmed. Money Wasted on COlothes. “The money that is wasted clothes! Look at our streets—thers comes a change of fashion and, pres- to! every woman instead of wearing 4 narrow-sleeved coat, wears a wide- sleeved one. 1 always ask myself what happens to those thousands and thousands of narrow-sleeved ' coats” Doesn’t it seem ridiculous to throw away a perfectly good garment be- cause fashion decrees it should be done? Imagine what thisg means - to the wage-earner, who certainly is not in a position to afford such luxuries. “Every child should be taught at school how to make its own clothes. They should learn how to do every- thing properly, at least, for even should they never have it to do themselves, only thus can they gain the respect of those who work for them and direct their own households Money at Soda Fountain, “Why do our women waste so » money at soda fountain It they only counted up the daily sums spent there in one year, drinking beverages of whose origin they know absolute- Iy nothing—else perhaps they woyld not drink them! If they have no time for a meal, why do hot they swallow down a raw egg—it is just like swal. lowing an oyster—and they would have something sustaining and noup- ishing."| Mre, Richard's lectures each week fit the National Housewives' ieague, No admission is asked and all house- keepers are invited.
