Mortal be Proud V

SECRET OF STAR'S POPULARITY.
Thomas H. Ince, while discussing
"The Son of His Father," which is
Charles Ray's first Paramount pro
duction, and the universal appeal of
the young star, said:
"If I could sum it up tn one phrase
I should say that it Is because Ray
has not only the gift or "youth in
itself, he has the gift of naturally,
spontaneously and unerringly por
traying the emotions anu manner
isms of youth which appeal to young
and old alike.
"It Is a strange thing, but a fact,
that nearly all young leading men
choose as their models actors who
are old enough to be. their fathers
or their grandfathers. Ray has never
made this mistake. He has always
played the part exactly as called for
by the scenario without any attempts
at Imitation. There will be a time
for him many years hence to act the
classic roles of drama."
"The Son of His Father" which
is to be shown at the Antlers thea
tre tomorrow and Friday, is a stir
ring photoplay taken from the fam
ous story of that name by Ridgwell
Cullum.

Dear Mother: I -received your let
ter and money you sent all O. K. and
was sure glad to hear 'from you. 1
am feeling fine, only in a little miseity
right now, as I have just finished
supper, and we sure have plenty to
eat. I weigh more than I ever did,
so you see army life agrees with me.
I haven't seen Harold Bellows yet,
or any Roseburg boys. It is a little
cold here, but not nearly so cold as
it was at Camp Mills, N. Y.
This country sure looks strange to
us boys from the good old U. S. All
the houses I have seen are built of
stone, and the railroad; trains are
only half as large as they are in the
U. S. Our accommodations, are. sure
great, that are furnished by the Y.
M. C. A. It is a large two room
building heated by stoves, and it sure
makes a nice warm place for us to
write our letters and spend our leis
ure time;
There are many things I would
like to tell you, but must be careful
what I write. I suppose papa has
the ranch seeded, and is taking life
easy. I am sorry to hear grand
mother is not well, but hope she is
alright by this time. You must write
often and tell the rest to write, as a
letter from horn sure looks good,
I don't want you to feel like you
said you did about me being here., I
ani only glad; I am here. I"would
hate to wait and have some one else
do my part for me. I am getting
along fine, and am going to continue
10 do so. Tell Welcome and Dad to
write. I will close for this time,
with love to all.
