Speaking in superlatives, the be

"Living creature"—get that T Not

"Absolutely," Miss Albena Hines re

"Most human beings ha\e traces of
Old Nick in them. Horses are inherent
ly kind. A horse will never hurt you
unless in self-defense. A horse will not
step on you or kirk you if he sees you.
A horse responds to love and gentle
ness as scarcely a single human being
you meet in a lifetime responds. I am
not exaggerating. A horse knows no
revenge, hatred or malice. Once vour
friend, he will remain your friend
through thick and thin. I'm not knock

such things as faithful human friends

At the Regent
The General Film Company, Inc., to
day presents the Broadway StaT fea
ture, "The Win(k)some Widow," at
the Regent theatre. It is a Vitagraph
picture and a merry farce in four parts,
featuring Ciasy Fitzgerald and a whole
lineup of most excellent players. The
winsome widow is a musical comedy
actresß, but business is bad and the
press agent worries about how to keep
the ghost walking. The financial hori
zon finally brightens and Cissy's wink
plays havoc with every member of her
eompany and some rich men in the
audience. Each admirer sends her an
ligent, kind and true than a whole lot
of people."
Miss Hint's lays her dimple against
|Ossinnnnn's white neck and pats Ossi
anna's exceedingly pink nose. Ossi
anna is one of fifteen "slatne horses"
that will pose for the ndmiriug multi
tnde at the circus here next Thursday,
I May 6th, and Albena llines is the little
lady who puts the animal through her
stunt without tap of finger or Hick of

If you so much as laid the tip of a

with nerves and refuse to go through
iher act like the dogs of Japan who do
I not move if you shy a stone at them
|because they have never been ill treated

vites them to attend a dinner party.
