Cohan, the Idol of the musical comedy world and whose work In "Broadway Jones" will never be forgotten by the million along Broadway and throughout the U. S. A., la seen in hla own creation In which Fred Niblo, husband of Enid Bennett, made such a decided hit What is It? One guess you're right "Hit-the-Trail. Holiday," In which Billy Sunday, the famous evan gelist, is Imitated In his work of making them "hit the trail." In the screen version, the famous musical comedy star, dramatist and producer, appears In the role created original ly by Fred Niblo, and he sure Is a ibartender supreme and a prohibi tionist par-excellence. If you have seen the stage production you know that a 'bartender figures as the star of the production. Marshall Neilan, familiarly known as Mickey and the one who has directed Mary PIckford in some of her most decided suc cesses, Stella Maris" being tne neat example, was back ot the mega phone when the scenes for "Hit-the-Trail Holiday" were shot and Mickey has turned out a Job that he may well be proud of. The stage pTay ran for an entire season on BroadV way and was represented by two companies on the road for another season. It was one of the most suc cessful musical comedies ever seen on the Gay White Way. "Hit the Trail Holiday" -will be shown at the Joy theatre tonight and tomorrow.

When the work In your war gar- don aeems tedious mid you straighten your aching back and look longingly toward the Inviting shade ot the trees or toward the arm rlmlr on the awning covered porch; when you mutter to yourself that It will not matter much whether the weeds do choke the beet patch It may help you to nulxh your task If you call to mlud a story told In "My War Diary" by Mrs. Mary King WadUlngton. In a vllluge near ours, saya the au thor, a girl of thirteen Is runuhig the furm. At the beginning of the war It was a thriving furm with a mnn and his wife, six sons and one daughter. Then tho blow foil, and all the men In France were mobilised; the father and his two eldest boys went off at once four hours after the decree of mobilization was received In the vil lage. The farmer hud no time to put his bouse In order, but left the farm In the bands of hti wife and the two big boys, aged fifteen and sixteen, The man and his two eldest sons are nt j dead, the two next are In the army, I and the poor mother, a wreck phys ically and mentally, cries all day. The girl and the two little boys do thel whole work of the farm, The young- . est, who la only tea years old, j cannot accomplish much, but he does manage to watch the cows and toi carry cans of milk or baskets of but-' ter. I see the girl slmetimes; she Is per fectly well, never complains and never asks for anything except occuxlooul ly for a warm petticoat, or a hood to keep her head and neck warm and dry when she la worklug In the fields.
