'DAILY PO£M
lIAL COCHRAN’S DAILY POEM
THE AUTOCRAT
Said the radish to the turnip.
“What a bully place I’ve got; when'
they planted seed to grow me, they
picked out a classy spot.” Then the
turnip, slightly jealous, perked its
leaves and looked around, and it an
swered, “What’s the matter with my
.little spot of ground?”
While the argument Was passing.
Mister Pumpkin sniskered loud.
‘Tye got heaps of room,” he shout
ed, “while you’re always forced to
crowd. I can spread my vines at
random, I am never put to rout,
while they plant you two so closely
that they have to weed you out.”
Then Miss Lettuce waved a leaflet
and Miss Pea Pod joined the fray,
and the parsley and tomatoes also
had to have their say. When the
waving golden bantam said, “I can
not kick a bit ’bout my dirt,” they
thought him kidding, ’cause he grew
away from it.
Long and loud the chatter fol
lowed as to whom was treated besf,
each one claiming he was favored
and stood better than the rest. Then
a lowly little party spoke aloud with
grinning face: “I’m the fav’rite,
though a weed, ’cause I grow all
around the place.”

HALF-A-DOLLAR BILL
FILLED WHH THRILLS
Promised as being something dis
ferent ajd original in film plays,
but so realistic and human a dra
ma of the sea that one almost feels
the sting of salty spray, the new
Metro picture, “Half-a-Dollar Bill,”
a Max Graf production, will be
shown at the Rylander Theater to
day.
Anna Q. Nilsson is the featured
semi une player, who gives the
most notable performance of her
career as a girl pressed by poverty
to abandon her baby that it might
live, and who then recovers her
child in later years through the
most dramatic developments.
William T. Carleton, Raymond
Hatton, Mitchell Lewis, George
MasQuarrie, and Alec B. Fraicis
comprise the cast, while a juvenile
“find” in four-year-old Frankie
Darro makes his screen de'but in
the picture, and proves himself a
remarkable child actor.
“Half-a-Dollar Bill” is the name
given the foundling by Captain Me-
Teague, when he finds the baby
with the torn half of a dollar bill
pinned to it, its mother having
kept the other half in order to iden
tify her son where she is able to
claim him.
The tang of the sea pervades the
entire picture, and there are com
edy touches with the tensely drama
tic. Curtis Benton wrote the story
■that was directed by W. S. Var.
Dyck, with Leigh fe. Smith, who was
responsible for much of the success
of “Down to the Sea in Ships.”
Andre Badlatier -was photographer
and Alfred A. Cohen wrote the
titles. Fans who like entertain
ment that is true to life and ’full
of thrilling action, will revel in
“Half-a-Dollar Bill.”
The frequency of sun spots is
periodical, the maximum number oc
curring at intervals of about 11
years.
