"The Seven Swans" was happily
averted Sunday afternoon when the
long line of automobiles returning
from Carmichael's landing were halt

mock just outside the last gate lead
ing into the inclosure. The incanta
tions of the "witch" could be heard
quite a distance when car contain
ing her and several of the "swans"
now restored to their natural forms,
was seen to be sinking in the soft
sand of the embankment on one side
of the road. Only the timely aid of
the occupants of the other cars saved
more than one of the brothers of the
dear little "princess" from being
turned into "a ditch." This extra
scene was not staged by J. Searles
Dawley, but ended happily amid
much laughter and merriment.

Through the thoughtfulness of Mr.
E. C. Bennett, the girls and teachers
at the reform school were made hap

Clark and several of her company
yesterday afternoon, who at his re
quest kindly stopped on their return
from the springs long enough for
them to make the acquaintance of
this charming little actress.
Miss Marguerite Clark, the charm
ing and clever movie actress, who
has been in Ocala, the past few days,
gave a Star reporter a brief inter
