THE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Page ThrM Mrs. Wiggs Comes to Town to Show What Movie Fans Want The Horse, the Dog and the Kids Are Supplanting Ob jectionable on the Screen By Hion H. Butler From the day when the women' came out of al the cities of Israel to meet Saul, singing and dancing as' they came, with tabrets, with joy; and with instruments of music, j the ages to the present day, as it f will continue into the future, folk.-.' have ^enjoyed the dramatic and musi-, cal performances of the choir and the theatre and the picture show. And as long: as the human mind can recall, the horse and the dog have been intimate and loved companions of mankind. Last week at the theatre in South- ernern Pines crowded houses several times in succes.slon welcomed that appealing story, "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.” The moving picture show is an important factor in the entertainment of this community, sharing with the school house and the church in its influence in shaping the moral and educational inclination ot the young folks and the old ones as well, and it is probably more of a factor than most of us suspect, tor it does not throw any compulsion about its Instruction. It merely pre sents its picture and allows the im pression to do its work, and it nev er aigues or commands. We have heard a lot about the ob jectionable of the picture shows, and no doubt much of the criticism is jus tified. No doubt the present sees a marked improvement, and no doubt the people will appreciate a higher quality of material ou the screen as it is available, as the plays last week indicated. Mrs. Wiggs is a compara tively old-fashioned story, written some years ago and now almost tor- gotten, except that nothing so immor tal as its plain philosophy can ever be forgotten. That is what happened to the story. The picture producers brought out the old tale and set aside for the time the cocktail and naked gang and the modern froth, and the patrons of the theatre have probably talked more about Mrs. Wiggs in the past week than about almost anything else that has come this way in a long time. Honest Simplicity You know why, too. You bring a dog and a horse and some small chil dren and some of the clean and home ly philosophers from the cabbage patch and almost every one of us will bow down and worship. You, can’t turn your back on a horse, nor! on a dog, nor on the budding young sters, nor on the honest simplicity of j life of those who are struggling the hardest, preserving their faith in the i great Jehovah and things as created, i and leading a hand to one another in' their mutual needs. I I have little tolerance for the com-1 plaint that the human mind is vitiat-1 ed. I don’t believe God Almighty j would spoil a big job by depreciating; a multitudinous race after he haa; gone to the troumle to create it. We; have frivolities and nonsenses, but at ^ the bottom people are about good | mill-run production, capable ot vast, usefulness and worth. We slip at I times. The test of quality is shown when a play like Mrs. Wiggs comes along, for then we see what folks i really appreciate—the dog, the horse, j the young ones, the finer sides of! human character, and the appiccia-' tion at the show last week was not | artificial. It was the honest-to-God ■ feeling of the whole audience, which is representative of the whole human , race. j The conclusion is that when the I prkjducers give the people a play j that is of superior type the people pay | their money for it. The signs are' that more of this sort of things is to I crowd out the more objectionable j stuff, and right there is where the j reformers and the moralists can do' their Goliath work of helping by of fering their patronage to the good things, which count for more than kicking about the bad ones. “An’ they’re goin’ to git married," Mrs. Wiggs whispered softly to her self; “an Billy’s got promoted, an’ Asia's got a place, an’ Chris’ll have a new wooden leg. Looks like ever’thing in the world comes right if we jes’ wait long enough.” Re-Elected KKP. W^LTFIR L.4MBETH Notice of Sale of Assets of THe Oanlc of V^ass Vass, N. C.

F., who has been surveying Moore county with the idea of extending electrical lines into rural areas, reports that the homes of 225 prospective users of electricity have been visited and extensions to these homes plotted on a county map. In all, nine community extensions have been planned. They are located as follows: Two extensions from Cameron, two from Vass, one north of Carthage, one from Jackson Springs, one near Eureka, one at Roseiand and one at Addor. Additional extensions are contem plated from Cameron, Deed River Township, Hemp, and in the Big Oak sections of the county. The Rural Electrification Survey in this state will come to a temporary close on Friday of this week, as State funds for this work, have been exhausted. Communities which have not been included in the preliminary survey need not necessarily be omitted in the final project for extending the lines. Any communities not visited and wishing the benefits of rural electrification may get in touch with Mr. Wood at Carthage. The Piiot is read by some 10,000 persons each week. Regular advertis ing would drive your message home to these prospects. It Pays to Advertise in The Pilot. JACKSON SPRINGS Phil Sawyer of Boston was a guest at the manse Sunday and Monday. Mrs. K. A.
