To Show Uplift Films
Benjamin Fay Mills, lecturer and evangelist, has invaded the motion picture field with an avowed gospel of "cleanliness and decency." He has organized the Motion Drama Association in Michigan, and the order has been endorsed by Governor Ferris, Bishop Williams, President Hutchins, of the state university and others.
The association's latest action has been the leasing of the Broadway Theatre in Detroit, where its pictures are shown. The association buys its pictures outright. Its object, according to Mr. Mills, is to elevate the motion picture drama to a stage high enough to make censorship unnecessary.
Mr. Mills was in Toledo Friday and arranged for an exhibition of the association's holiday program at the Lyceum Theatre during Christmas week. A three-reel spectacle, "The Star of Bethlehem," and a film dramatization of Dickens' story, "The Christmas Carol," are two of the numbers. Shakespearean readings and sacred songs by the newly discovered Italian tenors, will complete the program.
"The moving picture theatre has been a great obligation to the public," Mr. Mills said, "Its prices of admission are so low (that it is the universal entertainment. WJiatever influence it has will affect the whole public, hence we must see to it that its influence is all for good. That is the object of our association. I think Toledo will approve, for we have sacrificed no elements of popular appeal. Omr films will foe just as thrillinig, just as beautiful as others. But they will not have objectionable features. My policy always will be: 'Wholesome plays for wholesome people,' " l)e concluded. — Exchange.
Thrift At Any Cost
"Holy mackerel !" roared Crabshaw up the dumbwaiter shaft. "Why do you play that one record over and over again without a change?''
"Because," Pennypincher angrily shouted down, "I hate the darn thing and I want to wear it out, so I can throw it away." — Judge.

Minister's Mission
"That's a nice looking fellow who's just come in," said the young man who was dining with his best girl. "Is he a friend of yours ?"
"Yes, indeed, T know him well," laughed the maiden. "Shall I ask him to join us?"
"Oh, George!" said the girl, blushing, "this is so sudden." "Sudden? What do you mean?" he asked in surprise. "Why — why, that's our minister." — Exchange.

"So Jack Harkness has proposed to you?" "Yes. How did you know?"
"My fiancee told me last night. He used Jack's love for you to give weight to an argument." "An argument about what ?"
"He was trying to convince me that love is blind." "The fact that he is your fiancee should have convinced you of that."— Ibid.
Her Wisdom
"Girls !" called good old Aunt Broadhead.
"Ma'am?" they answered, as they fluttered around her.
"Having in my time married and buried four husbands," quietly said the excellent dame, "I am persuaded that how a man conducts himself at the wedding is not half so important as how he behaves after that event. And I have found this recipe a sure one for the preservation of domestic tranquility : 'Feed him and forgive him.' That is all, except that it is well to marry early and stay married late." — Judge.
