Here it is: When weary, when anxious, when almost desperate because of the trials of the day. 1 do not sit down and bewail my fate—I go to a mov ing picture show. Because I often reach the little crises of anxiety and resort to this most efficient remedy, I have grown gradually nn<l unconsciously to be quite a critic. It has become a real responsibility, for I feel, if I say that a. certain picture show is good, that a certain number of my { friends immediately plan to visit it. I love the "movies.” I enjoy the talent and triumphs of the actors and have learned to regard them as my friends. I appreciate what they have done for me in making my dark days bright. I like the glimpses into untraveled roads which help me In my dally life. Now, you are going to listen to me, I am sure, when I tell you what I hove seen to-day. You w r on’t believe it at first, unless you were fortunate enough to go too. I huve seen moving pictures that talk at the Savoy Theater. "Of course," you will say, "they all talk." No, you are wrong, for this is not a lip-reading contest, but real, loud words which even a child would understand. The pretty picture I saw was like a miniature Grand Opera, a bit of the prettiest part of an idyllic act. To the grace and charm of the thespian participants w’ere added the marvelous words issuing from their lips. It was almost unbelievable. I rubbed my eyes and tried to per suade myaelf that I was not in dulging in a remarkably pleasant dream. It w r as a realistic dream, just as are po many, and the en tering of the Savoy Theater was but the memory of many happy little rests. Then, so I theorized, my dream had become fantastlo, as dreams will do no matter how practically they begin. I felt, like Alice in Wonderland, to whom ail sorts of strange things happened most plausibly. I had even determined to ask the lady who sat next to me whether ehe were ortly a dream or real. Then I thought I had best w’ait, for I must soon awake. The awakening did not come un- \ til I had the very nicest time lmag- ( inable listening to the pictures talk. \ Then 1 began to enjoy the other f films and stayed until the talking < pictures appeared again. Then I j rushed to see Mr. Jackson, manager < of the Savoy Theater. He was glad to tell me abou* r this new invention, f did not en- ' deavor to learn how the lips of < the performers and the words J which they uttered were kept in Im perfect unison. I was only anxious J to learn "When?” "Twice a week,” was the reply, and I have made an other mental note in my happiness book. That means new talking films every Monday and Thursday. But if you wish to see the charming one which aroused my enthusiasm you may see it to-morrow. Each and every day the Savoy Theater will show* these wonderful pictures. We are accustomed to almost miraculous Inventions and to the unusual. We feel almost disturbed if we are surprised out of our in difference. Sometimes we even feign Indifference, so afraid are we that we may show appreciation. Don’t do this. Visit the Savoy Theater at. once and learn to live and to enjoy. Let your suppressed enthusiasm know no bounds when you see the product of master minds, the stories whioh are told so artistically as to seem simple, wherein is the highest art.
