•f Maxims of Methuselah By HARVEY PEAKE Hearken, 0 ye people, whilst I tell ye of a species of animal which standeth upon the outside of the picture theater on warm nights and looketh at the pictures thru the open doors, so that he may not be obliged to give up his jitney for what he may see for nothing. And I will tell ye the name of this animal. It is Tightwad. And lo! I say unto thee there is no balm in Gilead like unto that of a restful picture show for thy tired and perturbed spirit. Out of the mouths of babes cometh wisdom. Hear them singing the praises of the Motion Play and begging to be taken yet once again. Look not upon the wine when it is red, but save thy soul and thy money by turning in at the nearest picture show and becoming intoxicated on the beauty of the films shown. Ml'iiiHllni And thou, O my daughter, when thou visitest the picture show, will think in thy heart (with nine-tenths of the other women in the house), "I am much prettier than she upon the film.'* For lo! I say unto thee, all, all is vanity. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. And to thee, my son, I will say that the man is without honor in his own household who taketh not his womenfolk to the picture show at least once a weeii. And, if he loveth them much, he will take them oftener. t|mnniiimiiiiiu/l
