Lena and the Geese

Geography A fairy story of
old Holland pictured with
charming grace. The plot is
simple; but the situation very
strongly wakens our sympa-
thies. This chiefly because it
illustrates to us in a freshly
pleasing and in not too plain
way, the we'll recognized truth
that our own home is best for
US, and also our own lot in life
is best. The scenes in this
picture are extremely beautiful
and with the splendid photo
graphy will make this picture
one of the best in months.
