The star is the dead Barbara LaMarr. At the height of her fame as a screen tragedienne, Barbar at twenty-nine, was stricken with a fatal malady. She was told that the end of the brilliant road she traveled was just down the way. Under those conditions she un dertook, with Lewis Stone, to make a final picture, to stand as her epi taph as a screen artiat. The picture she made was the one appearing at the Webb theatre Tuesday. Into the making oi it she poured her soul. She collapsed several times white the scenes were being shot, and finally at the close collapsed on the lot, and was carried to her bed, never to emerge from it alive. The picture is the only one ever made under the tragic cir cumstances of impending death, and j is the baring of a woman’s soul in the face of death. The Webb announces for the latter part of the week the coming of “Kiki” the latest Norma Talmadge picture. “Rocking Moon,” a new Alaskan picture, and Harold Lloyd in his latest “For Heaven's Sake” arc the offer ings at the Princess the first half of the week. The two bills constitute exceptional ly good programs. “Rocking Moon (today) is a graph ic story of life and adventure in Alas ka—a land of elemental forces and elemental passions. "For Heaven's Sake” is Huiohl Lloyd’s very latest and believcdly his best effort. Harold Lloyd stands to day as the leading indiviual exponent of clean, wholesale screen comedy. Hi ts a favorite with local theatre goers. The plot of “For Heaven’.-* Sake” reveals the hero as a young debon aire millionaire clubman who becomes a missionary. The scope of the piece is wide, giving the comedian ample room for his vast powers r.s fun-maker.

Store —ADVERTISE IN THE STAR— BURNING MONEY (By Walt Mason) It isn’t what we earn that counts; it’s what we put away. I took in coin in vast amounts, ere I grew old and gray. I said, “I’ll gambol as I please and paint the fool ish town, for coin is growing on the trees, and I can shake it down.’’ On Saturday I drew my pay, a goodly roll and fat; on Monday morn I’d take my way to aoak my watch and hat. All through my years of youth and health, my ways were wild and rash, I gayly threw away my wealth, I burn ed the easy cash. Then came the sad and fatal day when I woke up to find that I wa3 old and stale and gray, not equal to the grind. There came a siege of stringent times; the boss was sad and core; he said, “I’ll have to save the dimes,” and fired me from his door. And after all my years of toil I had no plunk, that day, to make the old tin kettle boil, to keep the wolf away. I thought of all the costly joys I’d bought in bygone years, of foolish nights with fool ish boyc, and shed a stack of tears. I thought of chances that were dead, and gone beyond recall; and then I bumped my aching head against the nearest wall. But there is nothing in remorse, except,fin add ed jolt, and weeping for an old dead horse won’t bring along a colt. So liv$t young man, that when you’re old you’vfe/vnc such luck as mine, and have a parcel of red gold put somewhere safe in brine. First National Bank RESOURCES OVER FOUR MILLION. SHELBY, N. C. . .. oiUMMMa WITH A RING I IN HIS NOSE You have seen him. Magnificent in his strength, -.rolls of muscle around his bowed neck, his knurled horns separated by creases about his eyes, —those furrows being themselves expres- | sions of dignity. Sleek despite his massiveness, there was pride in every stately step. But there was a ring in his nose. Attached to the ring was a chain. At the end of the chain was—possibly a small boy. A travesty? Perhaps. Yet the ring was there, and that little ring held him subservient to the will of lesser strength. When we see the young man-or the old er man, for that matter—unable to resist the temptation to consume every dollar of his earnings in one continuous round of pleasure-seeking, there is a sub-conscious thought— With a ring in his nose!
