Nature’s Call to Her Outdoors
“For I’m to be Queen o’ the May,
mother,
I’m to be Queen o’ the May!”
May, beautiful daughter of Spring,
issues her universal, annual invita
tion to “come out into the great
world of Nature” and partake of the
festival of rejoicing that is found in
the songs of the birds, the fragrance
of the flowers, and through the fas
cinating lure of the warm sunshine
and murmuring soft breezes.
Spring has taken possession of
Mother Earth. The cold, gray, som
bre skies, the - close confinements of
frosty winter have disappeared. The
timid flowers of the wildwood, the
purple violets and the golden dan
delions, the fresh green garmenture
of the lawns and fields and woods,
the rippling brooks, the smooth-flow
ing rivers and the surf-throbbing
lakes and oceans, all unite in the
well-nigh irresistible “call of the great
outdoors,” that fairly sings in the
ears, “Come out, “Come out, come out,
and breathe the inspiration of Na
ture’s rejuvenation.”
The call penetrates into.every ac
tivity of town and city life, to office
and store and factory—everybody gets
the “spring fever.”
The Ford car—that reliablejuniver-
sal servant of all—presents the way
to accept the “call to all outdoors”
with every pleasure and with every
economy. Ford cars travel safely
anywhere and everywhere in reason.
They are not confined to paved streets
and macadam roads but go anywhere
(see center spread illustration)—
through fields and woods and valleys
and mountains. The Ford car is sure
and safe, to go and to come, at the
minimum of expense.
Accept the “call of the great our-
doors”—the Ford makes plain and
easy the way. “Go forth ’neath the
open sky and list to Nature’s teach
ings”—drink in health and vigor from
theatmosphere of Spring; get the in
spiration of “doing”; realize the
broader vision of your usefulness;
take the whole family with you, take
friends along—for this is a beautiful
world—and it’s all yours, when you
own a Ford car.

(Special to the Banner.)

dolph Rose today cancelled the eight-
round fight between Jack Dillion of
Indianapolis and Porky Flynn of Bos
ton which was to have been held be
fore his club here Thursday night.
Dillion wired Matchmaker Joe Levy
that he was slightly ill and Rose
promptly cancelled the match, in spite
of the heavy preliminary expense,
rather than permit Dillion to appear
while not in the pink of condition.

“This suite will cost you $300 per.”
“Do vou find people willing to pay

hotel?”—Judge.

A kind of artistic achievement easy
for the film, but impossible for the
“indoor drama” is illustrated by the
Ford’s Theater scene in “The Birth of
a Nation," which comes to the Co
lonial next week. The old-fashioned
drama has long attempted to repre
sent a stage within a stage, and some
of such representations have been
rather realistic. But in the film scene
showing the assassination of Presi
dent Lincoln, one sees not only the
complete stage of Ford’s Theater in
April 1866 but also the auditorium of
the theater, the audience and the his
torical figures in the boxes.
Laura Keene Is playing “Our Amer
ican Cousin,” assisted by R A Soth-
em in the role of Lord Dundreary.
They are startled out of their mlmio
parts by the shot that Wilkes Booth
fired. The audience has risen to its
feet as the shot is heard and cranes
forward in a semi-panic to gaze at the
great statesman whose head has
fallen back in the stage box and at
the assassin Booth who is leaping
from the box to the stage and whose
spur catches in the box draperies as
he jumps, causing him to.break his
leg. Uiis sort of historical realism
has never been achieved before. It is
part of what is meant by the so-called
“new art” for which W. D. Griffith is
responsible.
' Spectators gaze at the scene with
fascinated horror. It is too terrible,
too awesome for applause, yet not a
spectator but feels that in this im
pressive rendition Mr. Griffith has
surpassed the greatest previous art
achievements of the film drama.

Has forsaken the moving picture
studious to take a long rest. All film

Mrs. Ziegfeld, you know, and a most
interesting event is expected in the
Ziegfeld household.
