FROM NEBRASKA COMES
PBA1SE FOR "FOLLY"
“ Your school paper is unique and
the title of itlie paper, ‘Seward’s Fol
ly wHl rank among the best newspa
per titles among all the high schools
in the United States,” writes E. C.
Beck, of the State Normal School
land Teachers College, Peru, Nebras
ka, in writing to E. J. Bath, faculty
member of the Seward high school.
Continuing Mr. Beck wrote: ‘‘The
balance of the front page, the type
of your editorials, the well headed ar
ticles, are to be commended. Don’t
exchange that style. I could say a
lot of flattering things about the pa
per but will stop with this.”
In ending Mr. Beck pays a decided
compliment to the Swedes, Norwe
gians and Danes, wrhom, he says,
“broke him in as a school-teacher
and I never lived or worked among
better people. There are many of
these people in Alaska."
Mr. Beck ijjiay be recalled by some
in Seward for he visited here a few
years ago.
"PADLOCKED" II WINNER
fimiment
. A tremendous story of human love
and human 'blindness, of the clean
freedom of the modern generation
clashing with the repressed purity of
the older generation, is Allan Dwan’s
production of “Padlocked,” which
opened last night at the Liberty.
This brilliant pieturizalion of the
Cosmopolitan Magazine serial by Rex
Beach also has the virtue of being
perfectly cast. Charming little Lois
Moran has the lead—that of a typical
American girl—and her work raises
to heights that even top her splendid
performance in “Stella Dallas.”
Noah Berry gives a good account
of himself in the role of the sincere
but narrow-minded father, whose re
forms ruin his own home and who is
eventually duped by one of his own
kind. • Louise Dresser is effective as
the society woman with a past. Al
lan Simpson makes an appealing hero
and Helen Jerome Eddy acquits her
self with distinction in the part of
the insincere woman reformer.
