William S. Hart has always been
signally successful in ihe stories he
has had far the screen, but it is
doubtful if a more happy selection
was ever imiade -tjluan "Tumhleweeds."
Centering about the great rush for
lamd claims in the Cherokee Land
Strip between Kansas and Oklahoma
im 1889, the story by Hal. G. Evarts
has been made into a thrilling screen
drama.
In the role of Don Carver, a wind-
bitten "tu-irtbleweed"—a roving cowboy and range boss of the Box K
Range. Bill Hart is cast in*-a part-
that is ideal for his particular type of
char-actor. .
Lovable, fearless, quick to fight in
defense of the distressed or in vindication of his idea>of honor*" strong" in
his Ipve and imbued witih. the true
American spirit—the spirit of the
west—he amoves, *a powerful and commanding figure through a drama that
is epic in quality and strong in suspense and huimian interest
There is plenty of comedy, but over ■"
all broods that spirit of bigness, the j industry of
dust olf the wagon wheels that presag- ;
■Ford and Fordson Day was held
at the Wiedman Auto Co. garage
last Wednesday, with a fine attendance considering ithe inclement
weather. Nearly four hundred were
present during the day. All «tyles
of Ford, cars ,aud Fordson tractors
were on display, with the various
equipment for the Fordson tractor.
The morning was spent in showing
various scenes taken from the several,
coal mines of the Pord corporation
from the tSEtae of the first mine owned by Mr. Ford to the present An
interesting talk was given hy Mr.
Chiekley of the Ford. Corporation,
and during th© action oif the pictures
the several grades of the High school
*were present Prof.' Bacon of the
soils research department of the Oliver Plow Co. also spake at length
on the various forms of insects and
worms which the farmers have to
contend with today.
The afternoon session was devoted
to the most feared enemy o'f the corn
this section,    the corn
♦Nothing But the Truth," the Junior play, proved to be aTgreat success,
both financially and dramatically.;
In spite of tfhle bad condition of the
roads, - large and appreciative audiences attended the performance each
night.
The Juniors worked hard on tlheir
production to make it successful.
Much credit is duie Mrs. Mott, who
supervised it and helped to make the
results so favorable.
The cast of chairacters w6re particularly suited for their respective
roles. Lorena Bernard took the part
of a very .aristocratic woman who was
always aware of her husband's affairs. Her daughter. Gwendo'yn
Ralston, played "toy Erma Heininger.
was a very lovely person, and Miss*
Heininger carried off mnany honors
with her dramatic ability.
Ethel Clark, a friend o!f the Ral-
stons, played by Eunice Bafr, was a
society girl whose feelings and parade
were easily hurt by Bob Bennett when
he was forced to tell the_tnuth. Louise Westphale and Norma Bowen. as
Mable and Sable Jackson, were capable of carrying out their respective
roles.
Genevieve Camburn; as the -inlaid,
acted very gracefully. Alfred Sehmid,
as Bob Bennett, the gentleman 'who
bet $10,000 he could tell the truth
for 24 hours, won many honors and
handled the character remarkably
well.
Lawrence Aprill was the old gentleman, Mn. E. M. Ralston, who gave
the audience mamy a laugh. He is to
be complimented on his ability to
take a business man's part although
he was always the man that had to
pay. Perin Hauk, as Dick Donnelly,
was one of Mir. Railston's business
partners.    He acquitted himself well.
Donald Trout was Clarence Van
Dusen, -a man who was out to make
money and was time to life in the
character. The last, but not the
least in dramatic ab'lity, was Bishop
Daran- taken hy Bnuee Gordon. The
bishop was a very active charity
worker and managed to get all the
money he could. Even though he
didn't know anything about business,
he knew that if he yelled loud enough
he -would get.his money hack.
The play throughout] was characterized by j£ lightsome dash ot humor
and-interest of plot The performance
as*a whole was worthy of the support
..given and in no way derogatory to
the past records of dramatic
achievements in Saline High school-
