This week the council showed its hand by refusing to allow the Fox studio to operate large motors and suggested that they get in touch with the Hollywood people in regard to moving the studio to some isolated location. The old moving picture goose has been placing many golden eggs in Los Angeles’ barnyard, so a word to the wise ought to suffice. Looks like some mighty big changes were being made right under our noses and we hardly know what it is all about. Now that Ince is definitely out of Triangle, and Sennett is said to be on the exit, and wires fly thick and fast between here and the eastern hub, it is really hard to say just what will be sprung on the westerners next. “A friend in need is a friend in deed” is a very old saving, and it needs your consideration. Have you ever thought just, how valuable a real true friend can be to vou? Not when you want to borrow money, but just at any old time, a friend is mighty, mightv good. Most of us do not value our true friends. We really do not. It behooves us to be careful of our trusted friends, because they are too good to lose. Handle your temper like you would a rattlesnake. and if it gets too strong, step on it and crunch your heel. Instead of clouds, see sunshine — that is the great thing in this world. And be careful of your friends, ( make sunshine where there might be shadow, do not be displeased, but follow this advice: “ \ Friend whom vou have been gaining during your whole life, you ought not to be disnleased with in a »~r»rnent. A stone is many vcars becoming a ruby. Take care that you not destroy it in an instant against another stone.” —SAADI. Everybody is talking war! And the Dolice commission places signs in public places asking the people, Americans, patriots, to please not mention the war. How inconsistent! How foolish, when the government is shouting for recruits, bonds, donations, ambulances, mess funds, and a thousand whatnots. Every cartoon, picture, magazine cover, photoplav and newspaper heading is saturated with war. war, war! We are in war, breathing it. living it, dreaming it. dreading it, yea — seeking it! And yet we are requested to keep from talking it. We. free men. have been registered and are to be conscripted, taken away from our homes, loved ones, GOOD GOSSIP If you don’t think Keystone is making funny pictures you better go and see something good this week. It is “Skidding Hearts,” a rectangular rib twister, and Baldy Belmont is the particular star who lets our grins loose on the airs. Baldy and that smile, oh my! Ashton Dearholt, who was with the American , will go to the colors soon. business and friends, and sent to the gory meadows to fight— to war, and yet we are asked to desist from talking it. Where does the law come in when there has been no arrests, and yet everybody talks war? Speaking about this war business. Everybody is asking why we entered the war. Big thinkers tell us why, but here is a simple little solution, that, in my mind, explains the whole thing. NO ENEMIES You have no enemies, you say? Alas, my friend, the boast is poor; He who has mingled in the fray Of Duty, that the brave endure. Must have made foes! If you have none, Small is the work that you have done. You've hit no traitor on the hip, You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip, You’ve never turned the wrong to right, You’ve been a coward in the fight. — CHAS. MACKAY. Pick that to pieces and then you will see why we are putting into operation millions of dollars worth of steel and powder, and thousands of husky fighters. America has an enemy now! We are not boasting of having none, just as the little lines say “Small is the work you have done” unless you have none. Let us hit the traitors, dash the cup from perjured lip, and turn a thousand wrongs to right, and put “humanity” back in the dictionary.
