Notes:

On the front page of this issue is a likeness of Nance O’Neil, the celebrated screen star, who will be seen in a Multiple Reel Feature, entitled Souls in Bondage, from the pen of Daniel Carson Goodman. In this feature, which will be released January thirty-first in the V.L.S.E. Program, Miss O’Neil runs the gamut of emotion, and it is the opinion of those who have seen portions of the picture already finished, that she will surpass any of her previous efforts on the screen. Sous in Bondage is being produced by Edgar Lewis whose work on The Great Divide stamps him as one of America’s foremost directors. 

The following subjects will be released by the Lubin Manufacturing Company during the month of January, these include Unit Program and General Film Releases.

June Daye, the dainty Lubin star, and Helen Greene, Lubin’s popular leading woman, decided that Philadelphia was no place for them on New Year’s Eve, so in response to an urgent invitation from Miss Greene’s brother Lieutenant Robinson who is stationed at Norfolk, Virginia, these attractive young misses boarded the “five-fifteen,” and hied themselves southward.

Arriving at Norfolk, June Daye promptly fell in love with what she thought was an Admiral and great was her disappointment when later on, the Admiral turned out to be a pilot on the Old Dominion Line. Lieutenant Robinson gave a “tea” to the young ladies on board his ship U.S.S. Delaware, and after it was over, conferred a still greater social distinction upon Miss Daye, by asking her to Christen the ship’s new mascot — said mascot being a large William goat. Nothing daunted Miss Daye seized a bottle of buttermilk that was on a nearby table, and was just about to break it over the head of the William Goat, when she was prevented from so doing by the Lieutenant who assured her that such an action would not be conducive to William’s good behavior for the rest of the afternoon, and that a “name” was all that was wanted for him, whereupon Miss Daye looking William straight in the eye said “I herewith christen you Pickles, because you are destined to float on top of the brine.” — (Crack went Shure Shots’s rifle, and another Redskin bit the dust). Both Miss Daye and Miss Greene report a perfectly heavenly time, and Miss Daye says that the only thing that came near spoiling her entire day, was the fact that the captain would not let her climb the mast. 

We are informed that there have been several new pavements added to “Resolution Boulevard” already and today is only the eighth of the month.

The natives of Betzwood are seriously thinking of electing Director Edwin McKim, Mayor, for they say he has done more to put the town on a paying basis than any previous sojourner.
