AT TH6 Movies By ISA L. WRIGHT Old neighbor Jones, a grouch was he, And as sour a grouch as you'd want to see. One day his wife she said to me, "He's as mean as sin." I laughed. "Take him down to the picture show ; They're showing 'The Grouch' at Clune's, you know. Let him look at himself for an hour or so, Till the truths soak in. " I met old Jones months after that, And we had a gay, confidential chat. His smile was broad as a "chessy" cat, And he stood up tall. "It's great what the movies are teaching me," He said; " 'twas a grouch I used to be, Till I seen myself on the screen, you see, Then I quit it all. "But there's my wife — she's still a fright, * A-scoldin' and naggin' all day and night ; She needs reforming, too, all right, She 's a vixen rare. ' ' "Ah! then turn the tables on her," said I, "And give the movies another try. They are running 'The Scold' now, by the by. "Why not take her there ? ' ' Well, Mrs. Jones, she called on me. ' ' Did you tell him to take me there ? ' ' said she. I grinned. 'Twas not the moment, you see, To speak or swerve. "The movies does more than folks thinks they could, ' ' She said; "I hope you go often — you should — ■ They're a-runnin' one now that 'ould do you good, And they call it 'Nerve.' " 120
