Junior Prophecy As I was sitting in my study one evening I picked up a paper and glanced at the ad of the Lyric Theatre to see what was being shown there. I saw in large print, “Special Holi¬ day Show.” And as I had wondered how I was to pass the long winter evening away, I decided to attend this “Special.” The first picture thrown upon the screen was the “Pathe Weekly” showing Vernard Chapman, now a famous orator, delivering an address to the United States Senate, and Leo Kimmet delivering a speech on Woman’s Suffrage to the Suff¬ ragettes of Washington. Another feature of the Weekly was the famous “Basket Ball Tournament” in which Harold Griesel starred. The Weekly ended by showing Lola Mallott a Mili¬ tant Suffragette and the famous Texas ranch belonging to El¬ mer, Dewey and Clark. A short comedy followed entitled “Somebody’s Fool,” with Adam Dorsch playing the leading role, while Floy and Bertha were taking the parts of two small children. The scene most touching was the one in which Bertha, the smaller child lost the “Dahl.” The next picture was a scene in the Orient featuring the great work of missionaries. In it I recognized Mabel and Kathryn. Between reels several advertising slides were shown. One read, “It pays to advertise in the Gazette, Reyirter Fay Has¬ kell.” Another read, “Maid for General House Work, Applv Merna Bess, Corner of Burr Ave. and Sand St., Rose Lawn, Indiana.” A sketch of “Peter Pan” followed featuring Grace Hathaway (a second Maude Adams.) The next picture was a “Keystone Comedy” entitled “A Mix Up,” in which the Nelson Sisters and Ada Newkirk were cast. Agnes being taken many times for Ethel caused much excitement. One scene of the picture was the Sisters being pursued by the villain and in the pursuit I noticed a tall po¬ liceman running after the villain and I recognized him to be Gilbert Pattee. The last to be shown on the screen was answers to “Movie Fans.” One inquirer asked: “Is Nada Wood still playing with the Kalem?” Answer: No, she quit the screen and has joined her husband, who is a military official at Culver. In pushing through the crowd trying to make my way out I glanced toward the door and I saw two girls acting as ushers dressed in black, with white caps and aprons. I recognized them at once, as Irene and Gladys. As we stood in the lobby of the theatre talking a very aristocratic looking lady passed us. I was informed that she was formerly Zelma Anderson and now the wife of the “Famous Orator.” On inquiring who the operator of the theatre was I learned it was George Stup- py- I left the theatre feeling that the movies had fully taken the place the gypsy oracles formerly held. —Alice Love, ’16.
