PURITY LEAGUE BESTED
IN "THE CLEAN.UP"
. The Purity League, self-appointed
censor of Weston's morals, decided
that "The Girl and the Garter" was
a show unfit for exhibition in that
community. Stuart Adams, who hail
ed from Weston, was advance agent
of the show and to make matters
more difficult was in love with Hazel
Richards, daughter of the leader of
the Purity League. Her father had
witnessed the performance of "The
Girl and the Garter" in New York
attending as he declared, to see
"just how shocking it was." Added
to the necessity of large attendance
because the show was doing poor bus
iness along its route, Stuart Adams
faced a trying situation when he land
ed in Weston in advance of the com
pany. How the Purity League wa?
baffled, through the connivance of
Hazel Richards, added to the skill of
Stuart Adams in "starting some
thing," has been assembled in lively
episodes and thrilling scenes by Blue
bird photoplays in the presentation
of "The Clean-Up," announced as the
attraction at the Star theatre on Sat
urday Feb. 2 with Franklin Farnum
and Brownie Vernon playing the lead ing
roles. Martha Mattox, Claire Mc
Dowell, Mary Talbot, Mark Fenton,
Clyde Benson, Albert McQuarrie and
William Human will provide support
ing characters to sustain the interest
ing and fast-moving situations that
l,id to the much desired happy out
come. That it's a Bluebird is assur
ance, in advance, that worth wlnle
entertainment will be provided on
"Bluebird Day."

"THE SNARL" STARS I
BESSIE BARRISCALE
y, y
Bessie Barriscale plays twin sisters
in a new Triangle play, "The Snarl,"
produced under the supervision of
Thomas H. Ince, which will be shown
at the Star theater Tuesday and Wed
nesday. For continuous suspense and per
fection of the mystifying dual role
this play stands out as a screen gem.
Miss Barriscale has never created
finer character studies than the twin
sisters, one of noble, Inspirational
charm and the other a frivolous crea
ture without soul.
The story, which is by Leona Hut
ton and Lambert Hillyer, concerns
Helen Dean, who on the eve of her
operatic debut is crippled. Her sis
ter, Marion, a vain, selfish girl, is sub
btituttd to act the part, while Helen
sings the words from behind the
scenes. Intoxicated with praise and
the admiration of men, Marion ig
nores all dictates of conscience and
morality and pursues a course that
involves the destinies of her sister, a
young millionaire and his secretary.
Charles Gunn is leading man tor
the star, and Howard Hickman, Ag
gie Herring, Thomas Guise and J.
Barney Sherry form the supporting
company. The production was di
rected by Raymond B. West, with art
supervision by Robert Brunton.

TRIANGLE PLAYS AT STAR
ARE PROVING POPULAR
The Triangle feature plays at the
Star theatre are proving popular, if
the comments of theater goers are
any indication of the worth of these
pictures.
Anyone who missed seeing Chas.
Ray in "The Pinchhitter" this week,
missed a treat that rarely conies this
way, except from such high class Trl
angle productions as Manager Sparks
is now showing. Chas. Ray makes
f.he best Interpretation of a green

you could imagine. So well does h:

but feel sorry for him.

Williams Cullesc, l.o was just abji:
the greenest boy that ever came ir
from the farm. He finally makei
good though, and his time conieu.
when he takes his place at the bat in
the last half of the ninth inning, with
the score standing 7 to 6 for the op
ponents, one man on, and two out.
Chas. hit the ball so hard it went
away over the fence and down into
Main street. From that time on, his
confidence made it easier for him. It
is a great play.
Are Doing Some .Good Road Work.
Louis J. Padberg and J. R. Jack
son are doing some good work on a
piece of road extending from the Pad
berg place to Willow creek, south of
Lexington. These men have been do
ing this work voluntarily, just as they
had time from their other farm du
ties. They are using the Padberg
caterpillar and dragging two road
scrapers. Mr. Jackson is a master
hand when it comes to directing a
road scraper, and seems to thorough
ly understand the proper way of
grading up a road. People who have
gone over this work pronounce it ex
cellent. The road immediately packs
and becomes firm, is properly graded
to the center so that it drains and the
water is carried off. They have fixed
up about two and a half miles of the
road and will put some five miles in
shape if they find time to do the
work. The caterpillar is proving
the proper power for moving the
scrapers and the road should be in
good shape the entire season by look
ing after the filling of holes when
they appear.

Mrs, i. L. Yeager Receives Letter
From Son Ralph Who Is Now
in the United States Navy.
The following letter has been re
ceived by Mrs. J. L. Yeager from her
son Ralph who is now in the Navy.
Ralph enlisted several months ago,
shortly after the declaration of war.
December 26, 1917.
Dear Mother:
Well, Christmas has passed and we
sure had a great time. For dinner
that day we had turkey, mashed
spuds, dressing, asparagus, pie, cake.,
bread and coffee.
. In the afternoon the ship's crew re
ceived a Red Cross package. In my
package I received a box of candy, a
knife, stationery and pencil, a bar of
soap and a trumpet kazoo, which is a
kind of whistle. There was also a
pack of post cards. Believe me, all
the boys were tickled to get their
packages.
For entertainment all kinds of
singing, music and dancing, but the
best of all, mother, was this: There
was a collection taken up among the
boys and we raised a little over fif
teen hundred dollars. This money )
was used to buy the poor children J
clothes and presents. Then we had i
about two hundred of them come on
the ship and we gave them a big tur
key dinner, and had all kinds of
amusement for them. We had the
ship decorated in fine shape.
I would like to tell you more about
the' people and the country around
here but we can't write anything like
that while on this side.
We haven't received any mall for
sometime but are expecting some
most any day.
I haven't received a letter from
you for almost two months. Maybe
you haven't written. I wish you
would send me a big box of home
made candy. If you do send anything
send it by parcel post and I'll be sure
to get it. Goodbye till you hear from
me again.

had to get up at four this morning
to get ready.
Thank Guy for the money for me.
I told you before that I took out
$10,000 insurance just before I went
to the hospital, and am going to make
an allottment of $15 as soon as I can.
This is a great camp. It has ac
comodations for about 40,000 men.
There are big furnaces and plenty ol
coal to burn, which Is more than the
average New Yorker has during this
cold spell. It certainly has been cold
here. 18 degrees below zero, and a
much more penetrating cold than we
have out west.
There is only one chance In a thou
sand of me finding the box which I
lest. I have done everything I can to
get it, but it can't be found. You see
when anything gets lost in a town
like New York its worse than looking
for a needle in a haystack. Every
thing I had except what was on my
back was lost, including my kodak,
razor, toilet articles, clothes, a house
wife and everything.
Your son,
ELWYN SHIPLEY.

Elwyn Shipley Is Native Son and Is
Now "Over There" to Fight
the Huh.
From the Parma, Idaho, Review,
handed to us by W. W. Smead of this
city, we take the following letter
by the grandson of Mr. and Mrs.
Smead, Elwyn Shipley, who, accord
ing to later reports, is now with Gen
eral Pershing's expeditionary forces

his mother, Mrs. Guy Boyd of Par

Dear Mother: We are going to
leave in the next day or so, I believe.
All the extra clothes are packed up
and shipped to the boat, and we are
expecting orders to move at any time.
I haven't gotten any of the boxes
you were telling about, and I suppose
they are going across. I got the
watch and money day before yester
day and also the papers and two let
ters, and I cure was glad to get them.
I needed the money to get a new
shaving outfit.
