MAN'S LIFE IN FOOL'S GARDEN One of the best special features obtained by the Pastime is coming there on Tuesday, March 27th. It it Cecil B. DeMille's production entitled "A Fool's Paradise." We all are subject to live more or less in a fool's paradise. The idea r.o doubt is what caused the producer to give to this wonderful picture the name that it now bears. Often in this life we feel perfectly satisfied with our lives, being loved in return for our love, so far as we know, and we firmly believe; but alas, things turn out to be different from what we thought they were, and we find that we, too, have been living in a fool's paradise all of the time. It is a tragedy in any life when the very foundations of faith and love go tumbling beneath our feet and we see , and understand at last the awful fools we have been made. The hero in this picture was poor and blind. We mean that he was phy! sically blind. He could not see with his eyes.
