The mm int." picture comedy at the .\llen Tho-uti-o- this week is an exam- ple of the «wt ot' thing that the Eu- glish prmlucem olo best. "Me. and My hat" is a simple story that ile- pentls largely upon the work of the actors t’ur its entertainment. There is not a great deal of plot to the little play. It tells the straighft'orward tale M“ the low- ot’ a little Cockney tlmver girl tor a his: policeman. Squihhs did not have verychoice home surroumlinus in the slums. Her father was a no-gmnl and her sister was hound for the gutter. but the flower girl had spirit. and she lost her heart to her father‘s invet- erate foe, a copper. How they car- ried on their low atTair. and. how they finally married in spite of Op- position makes up the story of “Me and My Hal." This picture deserves to be popular because its comedy is m homely and clean. It contains hetter photography than the ever- aue British picture. and Betty Bal- hvur makes a charming heroine. We fuel certain that a great many peo- ple are going to like this comedy. It may not repeat the sensational suc- cess of "Alf s Button." although many fans will prefer it to either that movie or "'l‘hree Live Ghosts." the two most successful of the English pictures. We are not. sure that they \\ill not he right. We are not any worse oi! than our neighbors. For some time the stu- dents who wrote on the Middle school examination were anxious to get the results. They were known and published in some counties. and even in parts or our own county thev were out earlier than here. Now ether examination centres are still waiting. and whv they wait we are unable to say. Last week our analysis of the work led us to think there were too many failures. and we didn't think our school slid as well as it should. in looking' HVel‘ other published lists we tiiul there are similar showings 'and they. too. have failed to make a L'M'd reeorol. We are not given to Jumping at hasty conclusions, and we liaVo-n't clone so in regard to the recent results. .\ wmparison with the work elsewhere leads us to the. ronrlusinu that. nlll' suliunl shows a fair merits". or perhaps more than ‘1 fair aVo-raue.
