"The Ne'er-Do-Well," filmed as a
spectacular drama by the Selig Poly
scope company, is considered (by
many as Ilex Beach's greatest story.
In "The Ne'er-Do-Well," fascinating
Pr.nuina scenery is shown, including
the work of digging the Panama Ca
nal, the interiors of old Spanish
homes, glimpses of tho interior of tho
tropical jungle, and odd and interest

' SCENE FROM J'HEW QREAT PRICE"
.Mis. Mossman entertained some of
; the children a few days ago with
stercopticon views. One small chap
.when asked by his mother what he
:had seen said, "O, pictures like they
'have at the picture shows only thev
stand still."
j A man after failing to get a seat
on tho lower floor of a. local theatre
remarked to a companion, "Come on
up here retering to the balcony, it is
a better show anyway."
When a picture passes the Nation
al Bor.rd of Censors and Mrs. Colwell
of Portland there is little need of any
one finding fault as they fire very
severe.
!
From a photographic stand point
jthe snow scenes, especially, in the
Paramount picture "Out of the
I Drifts" were considered to be most
j wonderful and the most difficult to
'take successfully.
