This is a record-breaking feat for any- thing of this nature, it is claimed, The pictures were greeted by capacity audiences, hoth afternoon and even- ing, and the local favorites were given loud applause as they appeared on the screen. “Among those features' vere: Mayar A. Quigley, the hoard of public safety, including Clerk Magnell; rolice and fire departments, both in rarade and under inspecton; a re- £ponse to an alarm by the horse drawn nd automoble fire apparatus; close- vp views of Chief Dame and Chief Rawlings Boy outs parade, Stanley Works and views of the crowd along the line of march, The pictures arc clear, persons being readily distin. guished from all parts of the heuse and the titles legible and long enbugt so that all could read them.

Elastic Bands “For to be wroth with one we love doth work like madness i n the brain.” Somchow or other we fell to talking about quarrels between married folks the other evening. Of course the woman whose hus- band ‘“never said a cross word to me” was represented. “I don’t see what people quarrel about,” she said. “We never quarrel.” The Never-Said-A-Cross-Word People. One knows not whether to marvel | 6r doubt when people say thot never- rt of thing. E a woman who made that claim and her husband certain- 1y =aid some things that I should have called cross. And she folded her lips up in a manner that indicated Just as much irritation and resentment as if she had spoken. Another member of our group said that she and her husband didn’t real- ly quarrel either, but she was honest enough to confess that it was merely because he shut up and refused to answer her when she got made The Last Year's Bride Loved Quarels. “I don’t suppose you've had any quarrels yet,” some one said, turning to the last year's bride. “Yes, we have,” she sald, was just going to say I really them.” o “Love them!” repeated the never- spoke-a-cross-word: one in horror. The last year's bride nodded. and Quarrels “Making up is so wonderful that i worth while to quarrel,” she said, “We never love cach other so much as just after a quarrel. Its like the wonderful sunshine you get after a thunderstorm has cleared the air.” She turned to the Lady-who-always- knows-somehow. “Don’t you think 502" But Think Of the Damage Thunder- storms Do. The Lady smiled. “Don’t thunder- storms somectimes do damage that not even beautiful weather afterwards can compensato for?” she asked. Then, from about the tape measure in her work basket she produced an elastic band. “If I stretch this band way out it comes back with a snap,” she said. “That a quarrel—you stretch vour relationship and it proves strength by coming back with a snap. But if you go on stretching it, it won’t come back quite so strongly and by and by it will lose some of its resiliency and by and by a little more. So, if you want to keep it strong and resilient you mustn’t stretch it any more than you have to. That's the way 1 look at it. The last year’s bride looked thought- fully. “I wouldn’t have it lose its strength for anything on earth,” she said. “I don’t think there's much danger,” smiled the lady. for its | BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1916.

In three words, they are all common cla rich, the poor, the high, the low all possess the same womanly instinct at the outset. “Common Clay” shows all this in what starts out to be a com- mon, ordinary drama but which before it gets well into the second act de- ports from all previous attempts and branches out on lines of its own. Ellen Neal is a girl who h tions, what though she is of lowly birth. After departing from the straight and narrow path she seeks cmployment as a maid in the wealthy Fullerton home. There, while a dance is in progress, she meets her betrayer, a society man. The son of the family falls in love with her and in the next act the family lawyer is called npon for a settlement. A complication fol- lows and the case is thrown in the police court where the big moment of the play happens. tile to attempt to tell the story in this short space, daring to approach what requires finished acting and proper setting to produce. And “Common Clay” has the acting. If the name of Thomas E. Shea alone were mentioned no further proof of this assertion would be needed. Mr. Shea, long known to another genera- tion of players, needs no introduction. That he departs from his regular worls in no way detracts from his abil- ity. amiable Judge Filson as he ever was in “Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde”, although the characters can in no way be com- pared. As a prosecutor who discovers in the woman he condemns his own daughter, Mr. Shea is on his mettle Nor does he overdo the scene, which could easily happen. Catherine Tower, as the pitiful El- len Neal, has many opbortunities at emotional acting and makes the best of them. Her lines, for the most part, filled with “punch”, are made to score. In a word, Miss Tower is well suited for her part in the play, one by no means easily filled. Playing oppos her is George Tilton, the wealthy who afterwards rights all the wrong. As his father, W. A. Whitecar, puts plenty of action in the part. Raymond Bramley, too, is good. Others in the cast are Charlotte Burkett, Fdward Leahy, Pearl Ford. Frederick Going, James J. Cassady. J.

Farnum takes the part of George Baxter, a man of impulses, who hds fled to the west after killing the man who had ruined the happi- ness of his home. In Arizona Baxter meets Nell Blythe (Nell Shipman), a good woman who makes her living by singing in the dance halls and sa- loons.

Lack of oxercise in the fresh air is sald to weaken the oxygen carrying power of the blood, so that it is unable to pro- duce strong muscles and vitality and the formation of unsightly and un- healthy fat is the result. It you aro 15 or 20 pounds above normal welght you are daily drawing on your reserve strength and are con- stantly lowering your vitality by cerrylng this excess burden. Any persons who are satisfied in their own mind that they are too stout are ad- vised to go to the Clark and Brainerd Co. or any other good druggist and get a box of oll of koreln capsules, and take one after each mean and one just before retiring at night. Even a few days treatment has been reported to show a noticeahle reduction in weight, improved diges- tion and a return of the old energy; footsteps become lighter and the skin less flabby in appearance as super- fiuous fat disappears.
