Scenic Theatre
PRESENTING THE BETTER CLASS PHOTOPLAY
Weeks-Ahead Program
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19:
“SIMON, THE JESTER,” starring EUGENE O'BRIEN and featuring LIL-
LIAN RICH, assisted by Edmund Burns and Henry B. Walthall. An absorb-
ing drama of human hearts, loves and lies, a tense story that carries one from
the abodes of wealth in fashionable London to the Orient. Misunderstood
lovers, shattered friendships, broken ideals, mystery, romance, tragedy, laughs,
splendor and squalor. All the elemental human passions blended together in
one of the most wholesome picture stories ever sereened. Also, clever two reel
Fox side-splitting comedy.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 21:
“THE MILLIONAIRE COWBOY,” headed by the famous LEFTY FLYNN,
Inherited money, the wild son of a millionaire father, a deserted desert town,
border bandits, a beautiful girl, kidnapping, a daring rescue, whirling action,
beautiful romance, adventure, intrigue, revenge, all play their part in this pic-
ture. Also, Pathe News, Aesop’s Fables and a single reel “Toiling for Rest.”
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22 AND 23:
“WE MODERNS,” sure as you live here they are with COLLEEN MOORE
and that clever fellow, JACK MULHALL. Flashing, flying, soaring through
the air like a winged bird of steel and aboard, the moderns, dancing, whirling
to the tunes of a snappy Charleston. And then crash, bang, and a hundred hu-
mans jump overboard 10,000 feet to the earth. Fifty laughs for every tear.
She'll make you laugh. Only Colleen Moore could do it. You've got an old-
fashioned slant on things until you see “We Moderns.” Also, Mack Sennett’s
latest laugh riot, “A Rainy Night.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24:
“LORD JIM,” featuring PERCY MARMONT, NOAH BEERY and RAYX-
MOND HATTON. A romantic drama of the Bast India seas and the jungle
country in which a sailor ruled an outcast by a high sea’s court, becomes a
power among the savages of the natives, finding real love and at last peace.
Here is a picture that is a credit to any theatre. Also, Sth chapter of the
“WILD WEST” serial.
CHRISTMAS AND SATURDAY:
«A KISS FOR CINDERELLA,” with BETTY BRONSON. Now if you are
looking for a Christmas picture (that is a real one) here it is and we want to
say that it is Paramount’s Christmas gift to the world, and was made for the
holiday showings only. This feature is in ten reels, and as we play Para-
mount pictures exclusively we were able to secure such a great holiday show.
MOOSE TEMPLE THEATRE.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18 AND 19:
TOM MIX in “RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE.” This is just another
one of Mix’s best pictures.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25 AND 26:
BUCK JONES in “THE DESERT’S PRICE.” Buck comes through again
with another one of his fast moving shows and it is bound to please all who
take it in.

hristmas is a Delightful Festival —but it leaves
some of us feeling poor. There is much ex-
pense attending its celebration, for we all
find pleasure in giving.
Can we make it easier? Certainly, by putting
aside a small sum every week.

PLEASANT GAP.
Ward Hile and wife left last Thurs-
day for Detroit, Mich.
A Christmas cantata will be render-
ed in the M. E. church, December 24.
Clair Rimmey, of Olean, N. Y., spent
a few days last week with his father.
It is reported that our streets will be
illuminated with electric lights at an
early day. The delay is becoming mo-
notonous.
Misses Helen Noll and Vera Hile
spent the week-end at the Lock Haven
Normal, with Miss Mary Hile, who is
a student at that institution.
Harry E. McClincy expects to spend
Christmas with his daughter, at Cora-
opolis, Pa. He will also spend a few
days in Pittsburgh before returning
home.
Miss Christine Weaver attended one
of the up-to-date dances at State Col-
lege, Saturday evening. She reports
a large attendance and a most enjoy-
able time.
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Rimmey and son
Keith, accompanied by Mrs. John Her-
man and Mrs. J. D. Herman, motored
to Lewistown, Sunday last, and spent
the day with the Harry Grove family.
Mr. Hoover's Sunday school class
surprised him by giving him a Christ-
mas party, presenting him with a silk
umbrella. Billy says it’s just what he
needed, hence it was highly appreciat-
It is but reasonable to suppose that
Whiterock is being rushed with or-
ders, since they make the night hide-
ous with their continuous blasting of
limestone rock. It’s no use of kicking
about the interference of our nightly
slumbers, since all are delighted with
the prosperity that abounds in our
community.
Our butcher, Joseph Lex, is all
smiles again after a season of depres-
sion. He says the home butchering
season will soon be a thing of the past,
spare ribs, back-bone and other inci-
dentals are fast disappearing, and it
will be but a short time until the home
butcher will again be in evidence serv-
ing his numerous patrons.
It is a bitter consciousness; none
can tell how bitter but those to whom
it has been given—when we are awak-
ened from our long cherished confi-
dence in the being we have devoutly
loved, and know that from henceforth
it may never be indulged in again.
All those beautiful visions we so fond-
ly gazed upon in youth, fade from our
view, and the demon jealousy, takes
possession of our minds and destroys
that confidence and peace which can
rarely, if ever, be recalled. Then let
me implore you, as you value your
earthly happiness and desire peace,
Spirit, t
the peace of every family. Jealousy,
of all the passions, is that which ex-
acts the hardest service and pays the
bitterest wages. Jealousy is the fiend
of human happiness.
Despair is the name by which we
express the extremity of mental de-
pression, against which the mind fails
for a period to react. Through this
dreadful feeling no ray of hope, no
sunbeam of joy breaks in upon the
darkness of the soul. To one who has
reached this state of utter desponden-
cy, life is no longer desirable; the
charms of nature and art call forth no
throb of delight in the dark spirit, and
the cheerful earth is a gloomy and
barren wilderness. There are dark
hours in the history of every human
being, periods of despondency and
gloom, when life seems without a sol-
itary ray of brightness, and the fu-
ture is shrouded in mist and melan-
choly. At such times the spirit is de-
pressed, the soul within is involved in
shadows, and it is in vain that we turn
and endeavor to avoid the onerous
thoughts that crowd upon the brain.
They force themselves upon us, and
all our efforts to shake off this feeling
of despair of the moment, are idle and
fruitless. Unpleasant thoughts ob-
trude themselves upon us, and a mys-
terious feeling passes like a cloud over
the spirit.

daughter, Mrs. Clayton Royer, and
her sons.
The Lutheran Sunday school will
hold their Christmas service on
Christmas eve, and the Reformed Sun-

There will also be community singing
on the Diamond, Christmas eve.

Mr. and Mrs. John Korman and son,
of State College, spent Sunday at the
Mrs. Eva Korman home.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Rishel and
children, of Mill Brook, were recent

John Bright and Harry Crouse, both
of Akron, Ohio, have returned home
after about ten days hunting.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Mingle and
small son James, of Coburn, and Mrs.
I. P. Adams and son William, of Mill-
heim, were Sunday guests at the E. G.
Mingle home.
Mrs. Jacob Harter, who for the past
two weeks has been quite ill and un-
der the doctor’s care, is slowly recov-
ering. Abraham King, who has for
some time been with his son, A. S.
King, has also been ill, but is slowly
improving. Though able to be about
the house he has suffered a great deal
from the effects of rheumatism.
Sunday evening Rev. Mr. Keener,
of Centre Hall, filled the pulpit in the
Reformed church in this place, at
which time an election was held to de-
cide whether or not to extend a call
to Rev. G. H. Fred Greising, of Chico-
ra, Pa. The vote at this appointment
was unanimous, which we trust may
have been the result at the other ap-
pointments and that Rev. M. Greising
may see fit to accept the call, as the
charge has been without a pastor for
more than a year, and a pastor should
be on the field.

RUNVILLE.

Johnstown, last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Orvis Lucas, of Yar-

Watson, who is very ill with pneumo-
nia.

J. Heaton, on Sunday afternoon, were
Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Lucas, Mrs. John
Hite and Mr. and Mrs. William Wil-
liams, of Altoona; Mr. and Mrs. Or-
lin Brooks and Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Brooks and daughter, of Pleasant
Gap, and Frank Loeb, of Kettle Creek.
The Fastest Antelope.
+ The black buck, the commonest
antelope in India, is also the fastest.
Indeed Mr. A. A. Dunbar Brander, in
his book Wild Animals in Central In-
dia, declares that the black buck is the
fastest animal in the world.
Although the black buck can be
stalked and rushed over a short dis-
tance by a hunting leopard, says Mr.
Brander, it soon draws away and the
leopard abandons the chase. More-
over, the black buck can keep up his
pace indefinitely. The value of a fly-
ing start is well known in racing, and
to what extent that advantage serves
the cheetah, or hunting leopard, I can-
not say. If it were possible to start
was leading.
Gasoline Demand.
Ones year’s consumption of gaso-
line in China would not run the auto-
mobiles of the United States eight
hours.
In this country the per capita con-
sumption of gasoline is 69.3 gallons
a year; England, in second place, used
11.6 gallons.
To supply the demand American
production of gasoline was increased
from 1,700,000,000 gallons in 1914 to
9,000,000,000 gallons in 1924. The
United States accounted for 79 per
cent. of the world’s consumption last
ear, while at the same time export-
ing $160,000,000 worth of the com-
modity.
——There is a daintily designed,
small percolator, especially appropri-
ate for small families, with a five-cup
capacity; then there is a household
size, with a six-cup capacity. A very
popular percolator of Colonial design
is fitted up with a faucet and provides
coffee service beyond the capacity of
small size pots. An artistically de-
signed paneled Grecian art percolator
lends a touch of distinction to almost
any social function. Inside it is
silver-plated and it has a nine-cup ca-
pacity.
Some of the smaller chairs
make useful and beautiful gifts; arm
Windsors, ladder backs, the smaller
overstuffs, the wicker chair. And in
the light of furniture, we may con-
sider the gcod-looking screen, which
may be home-covered, the floor read-
ing light, the lamp, mirrors, sconces
and scrap baskets of style, all of
Nia may be given at Christmas

Why a Chinaman is Inexact.
If there is any single trait in Chin-
ese character that overshadows all
others, it is that of inexactness. A
Chinaman, writes Mr. N. O. Winter
in Travel, will refuse to admit that
two and two are four. He will de-
cline to assent that white is white. 1f
distance is given in miles, you must
first ascertain whether a long or short
mile is intended. If you purchase so
many pounds of goods, you must in-
form yourself whether pound of
twelve or sixteen ounces are intended.
When the deception is discovered
the merchant betrays neither resent-
ment nor contrition. He smiles bland-
ly and dismisses the incident with the
remark that you are cleverer than he
is.
You may meet a Chinaman some
morning in Hongkong, a man whom
you know very weil, and casually re-
mark: “Where were you yesterday,
Li?”
“Why, I was in Foochow,” he will
reply.
“That is impossible, Li, for then you
could not be here today. The dis-
tance is too great.”
“Yes, that is so,” he says in no way
embarrassed. “I was in Amoy.”
“Now Li, you know that is not true.
It would take you two days to rzach
here from Amoy, and besides I saw
you in Canton.”
“Yes, I was in Canton yesterday,”
he finally admits; “but why did you
want to know where I was?”
He parries with you partly because
he is suspicious of your motives. He
hedges largely in the effort to ascer-
tain why you are interested in his
whereabouts. His movements should
be of no consequence to you.
A Most Useful Gift.
A bedside candle, which is electric,
with its own battery, after the fashion
of flashlights. It is neatly compact
and attractively finished. And will
be most convenient for the home
which dosen’t have electricity, for
there is scarcely a night when one
Qos flash on and off the bedside
ight.
——One may see in the narrow drop
leaf table a delightful substitute for
the usual serving table in the dining-
room, another in the commodious
gateleg in lieu of the extension table,
the long and narrow box table replac-
ing the stereotyped buffet, and the
console table in all its various forms
replacing almost anything at all.
There are so many odd pieces of fur-
niture made today which are most
wonderful copies of the classics of
days gone by that we may fairly lux-
uriate in originality if we will, and
particularly all sorts of tables.
A Floral Gift.
Artificial grasses form a charming
bouquet and are particularly pretty if
put into one of the blue lustre bud
vases.
But she has been dead a long,
her before or since.
MEDICAL.
All Out of Sorts?
So Was This Bellefonte Woman Who
Tells Her Experience.
All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame. for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy
spells and that tired, depressed feel-
ing. Thousands have found new
health and strength by helping the
weakened kidneys with Doan’s Pills—
a stimulant diuretic. This Bellefonte
case is one of many. ;
Mrs. J. O. Clark, Willowbank St.,
says: “My kidneys were in bad con-
dition and a bearing-down pain in the
small of my back made housework a
burden and I could hardly move with-
out misery. When I did any washing
or ironing, the dragging ache across
my kidneys became worse. My kid-
neys were sluggish, too, and finally I
became tired and had to drag around
as best I could. I used three boxes of
Doan’s Pills and they brought relief.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
Clark had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,
