Dear Frank
1 saw Mortimer goin 2 school a
few days ago. 1 can remember
when 1 wus a boy bout his age.
I caught every hing in school that
could be caught frum mumps down
to toe ii'.ch When 1 wus bout 8
years old a little negro rabbit} cum buntisn 2 bor-| j
row my dog 2 go
and I caught the whoopin cough
frum him. I borrowed a hove
swee gum 2 chaw 1 day and B4
nite I wus broke out witil ilhe
Sams and these 1
measles. Dr.
doctors in Covington doant treat
measles like tha did then. I wus
no- allowed 2 drink any cold
wa er or eat anything. I had 2
,
lav in bed with a red flannel cloth
round my neck saturated in tur
pentine and drink sheep tea. !
Frank ask Brother Ah Loyd if
that wont the way itha used 2
treat measles. I think tha set
tied in my neck cause now every,
time I jerk my neck round quick
2 look at a short skirt passing by,
my neck pops.
Frank B4 I tell U more bout my.
school days I wont 2 say a word
2 U bout a preparation that wus
used a lots them days and R used
extensively now. I hav seen
“sheeps” and so hav U but I aint
never seen a “neat” and U aint

on the market and has been ever
since your Grandpa wus a little

much loved romance “The Little

Porterdale this next Monday and
Tuesday as a vibrant, actionful
and deeply moving romance. Never
before has Miss Hepburn been af
forded as colorful a role as that
of Babbie in “The Little Minis
ter,” the dashing, romantic Gypsy
girl long enshrined in the hearts
of the world. Loving vividly, hat
ing hard, a glittering figure In
the humdrum life of the
Sco.eh village of Thrums, Babbie
xs a part worthy of ;he great .gen

Never has a motion picture been

resources have been drawn
upon to the limit in regard to

In addition to its lovely ro

filled with entertaining action
the sort that is the life blood of

T ^ e loves .and hates, jealousies
an( ! humors of the little Scotch
village are woven in.o the love

lights of the tale.
Mies Hepburn is most ably sup

as John Beal. Reginald Denny,
Alan Hale, Beryl Mercer, Andy
