ANY THE EXTRAORDINARY SERIES OF LEGISLATIVE AND EXEC UTIVE ACTS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THREE YEARS AND A HALF WILL REALIZE TWO THINGS! FIRST, THAT PRESIDENT WILSON HAS PROVED HIMSELF A PARTY LEADER OF UNUSUAL POWEnj AND SECONDLY, THAT THE PARTY THUS LED HAS DONE UUCH MORE FOR THE COUNTRY THAN THE REPUBLI CAN PARTY ACCOMPLISHED IN FIVE TIMES AS MANY YEARS. -Dr. Charles W.

Her mother tot k in washing to help support the family consisting of two smaller children, and a lazy, good for nothing father. This man was too lazy to even look for work. He would leave home late in the forenoon and sit all day on park benches, reading dime novels. He spent his evenings and mornings lying in bed, read ing novels, smoking his pipe and '"rushing the can" his wife and daughter providing the money. The girl needed shoes. The wrecks she wore were falling from her feet. To prevent pick ing up splinters from the rough boards on which she stood all day behind the counter, she pro tected the bottom of her feet by in-sertin pasteboard insole. Her evenings she spent with her feet in hot water to reduce the swell ing and soothe her tired feet. Each week she took her un opened pay-envelope home to her mother. Each week she was promised $3 with which to buy new shoes. But there was al ways need for the money she earned to support the family lar- der; to provide beer and tobacco1 for her lazy father. Just how the half-slave shop girl finally sue-' cumbed. to relentless fate d "sold out. for a pair of shoes" is to be pictorially related in Blue- bird Photoplays at the Peoples und Rosemary Theatres on Friday October the 20th, in a great, moral and sociological revelation entitled "?hoes."

The contribu- parent, her father. Too proud to call on her friends for assist ance, she starts out to make her own way in the world by secur ing a six dollar a week clerkship in one of the large department stores in New York. It is here that the evil hand of David Burn ham is again felt by Hope, and through his malignant influence she loses her position. It is with the assistance of Joe ! Maynard, a crook who has climb ed the fire escape and hid in her roon to escape the police, that Hope is able to regain possession of some mining stock certificates belonging to her father, and which had been stolen by Burn ham, The recovery of the stock, which had increased considerably in value since her father's death, restores to Hope her fortune and assists her in working out the redemption of Maynard. Sumner Nichols, the author, has woven throughout the piece a beautiful love story, wh'ch makes the phiy of an absorbing and human interest. The play is further enhanced by a rich vein of comedy, delightfully new and suffusing the whole play with the cheery optimism of its lik able characters. "The Girl He Couldn't Buy" comes with a splendid company of New Yoik actors, and scenic equipment complete in every d e tail.
