HAR.FLY T MOR.EY
When not at work on a picture Hurry T. Morey is to be found in No. 10,
a dressing room which dates back to the early days of his career in the Brook
lyn studio of Vitagrapli. It was 10 years ago that he occupied this room
with Earle Williams. The walls resemble a combination of art museum and
rogues’ gallery. They are hung with pictures of Morey in various roles,
ranging from a policeman, his first part; the crook. Joseph Garson of “Within
the Law,” to the high financier in “The Gamblers.’’ Recently, he has addeo
Philip Grey in “The Birth of a Soul” and a detective character Jo “TTm
Flaming Clew.”

Helena, Ark.,May, 27, 1920.
Expecting that her hotel
facilities will be taxed to the
utmost when the newspaper
men composing the Arkansas ,
Press Association arrive with J
their wives and daughters and
sisters and sweethearts on
June 17th, commercial and
civic bodies of Helena are al
ready making arrangements
to care for the overflow from
the hotels and rooming houses.
Many private homes have been
open for the occasion, and the
problem of housing the
visitors has virtually already
been solved. Helena’s hun
dreds of automobiles will be
placed at the disposal of the
committee in charge, and
various journeyings about the
city and surrounding country
will surely be an interesting
and enjoyable feature of the
entertainment program.
BIG TIME FOR ARK
ANSAS UNDERTAKERS
Natatorium Exhibition, Balls
and Auto Rides Were Fea
tures at Pine Bluff
Meeting.
Undertaker Walter W.
Raney, Woodruff County’s only
icensed embalmer was in Pine
Bluff this week where he at
tended the Arkansas Funeral
Directors Association of which
be is a member and reports a
most enthusiastic and instruc
tive session.
Lectures on technical sub
jects, inspection of displays at
the Hotel Pines and an em
balming demonstration at
Ralph Robinson and Son’s es
tablishment were the features
of Wednesday’s session. The
'•dsitors were entertained with
a dance at the A. O. U. W.
hall by the Pine Bluff Coffin
Company and an automobile
ride over the city.
An entertainment at the
Eden Park natatorium and a
cabaret luncheon at the
Country Club was ,the big
night of the convention. At
the natatorium, where the vis
itors were the guests of H. I.
Holderness, special features
were arranged and the
privileges of the pool wrere ex
tended the visitors. From the
natatorium the members of the
party went to the Country
Club where they were enter
tained by the Arkansas Fu
neral Supply Salesman’s Club
who secured the use of the
club through the courtesy of
Mr. Holderness. Entertain
ers from the Orpheo theatre
took part in the program and
music was furnished by
Keuck’s orchestra.
The displays at the Hotel
Pines attracted much attention
and one of the largest and
most attractive displays was
by the Pine Bluff Coffin Com
pany, many of the visitors ex
pressing surprise that such
elegant caskets were manu
factured in their entirety in
Pine Bluff.
Mrs. Mary Ellis Brown,
chief of the bureau of vital
statistics of the State Board
of Health, addressed the con
vention on the importance of
reporting births and deaths as
required by law. The travel
ing men gave Mrs. Brown as
surance of their co-opera
tion by calling the attention of
dealers in small towns to the
law which requires that re
ports must be made to this
bureau of all deaths.
