SHERRY'S
SHERRY'S TODAY
All the resources of the screen act
ress were needed by Gladys Brockwj-l
in her new nhotonlav for William Fox.
'"Sins of Her Parent." This is Mbs
Brockwell's first starring vehicle, and
it is a story which called for all the
versatility of the charming actress.
In the first part of the story, Mis
Brockwell nortravs a vounc faetorv
girl of Virginia, "V;.lerie MaVehmont
an innocent, trusting creat-.ire. who
scarcely knows right from wrong.
Later Valerie migrates to Alaska,
and completely changes character. In
stead of the unsophisticated girl of the
southern factory huts, she becomes a
brazen woman of the northern deuce
halls. She knows everybody, drinks
with everybody, and gives herself up
to a life of unrestrained abandon.
In the midst of this wild and dis
orderly life, Valerie has to pose in
nun's costume for an artist, who has
seen traces of the real mother's beau
ty through the mask of the danc& hp.'.l
woman. And she has to assume the
saintly expression of the Madonna,
even while conscious of the' lowness
of her life on the outside.
But this is not all that Gladys
BrockeH hhs to do. While playing tho
part of the Alaskan, she also has to
portray an innocent girl of New Eng
land, the daughter of Valerie March
mont. The girl's name is Adrian, and
she is a polished, well educated so
ciety girl, sharply in contrast to the
mother.
All these various women were tak
en by Gladys Brockwell. The years nf
experience which the talented actress
has had on the stage and before the
camera served her in good stead. Her
marvelous powers of facial change
were called into use again and again,
in showing the shades of difference
between one character and another.
"I didn't mind changing character,"
said Miss Brockell, when "Sins of
Her Parent" had been, cut and shipped
east. "That was comparatively easy
to one who has done any screen work
at all. But what I objected to most
was the constant change of costume.
It wore out my patience, and put my
maid out of sorts. This latter is the
worst calamity that can happen to
any woman.

1 ,HK FEELER CALLED ME.
! Ct tter get mud with the feller called
Me
Than with anyone else on caith.
He's so blind sometimes that he can
not see
The gifts that were his at birth.
He stumbles and trifles and goes
astray
Instead of just going right on
Up tho straight and narrow and
tmthest way
To the golden gardens of dawn.
Better get -wise to the feller called
Me
Tnt iirst thing that you do;
it wi'l help so much in the day t- m
To put what you want to through
S .udy him over and take his size,
And probe him clear down to the
deeps, ' "
And learn by his ears and his nose
and his eyes
What bad in his nature sleeps.
Better pick quarrels with the feller
called Me
Than with anyone else you know;
Tonder him over from A to Z,
And watch him wherever yon go.
For every weakness you find and cure
Will be something to set you ahead
In the path that is straight and fine
and sure
That your soul is destined to tread.

O. A. C Is Economical.
By H. Hamilton
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Jan. 18. Orecron Agri
cultural college didn't defeat the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania at football;
neither did it win the championship of
tho Pacific Coast. But it did do one
thing deserving of credit when it kept
expenses for its football team down
to an average of $295 a man for the
1916 season.
Nearly all this average was spent
; jn paying traveling expenses of the
players, $205 a man being doled out
m his fashion. Twenty men were in
cluded in the transportation list.
Coaching for fifty men came to $35
a man, and personal ecpiipment for
thirty-two men hit $47 a head. Medi
service for fifty men was $8 each.
Dr. A. D. Browne, head of the O. A.
C. atheletic department, decided some
years ago that the college that pays
him annual salary was getting far
under the average in cost for football
and he conducted a questioning of
important universities, discovering
that they were paying an average of
$10 a man more than the aggies.
Cheapness is a matter of compulsion
with Oregon Agricultural, however,
for the books closed on the 1916 sea
son show a deficit of $1,222.40 on th
home field, and a surplus of only $2,
247.19 on foreign grounds.
Next year expenses are to be cut
still more, for O. A. C. isn't like most
colleges. It admits it wants to make
a little cash out of the exploitation of
its football teams, and likes to derive
the benefit that comes from advertie
infr. And 0. A. C. received quite a little
publicity two years ago when it
smashed things up generally in the
middle west. The biggest game of
the season will be played next fall in
Portland, where the biggest hunk of
cash came from last season.
