only two and a hall miles from Ba-

This road, while not the main line, Is
extremely important as subsidiary
and constitutes the Allies next obJec-

runs directly east to connect with the
main north and south line at Marcoing

One of George Eliot's most cele-
brated novels, THE Mill on the
Floss" has been scenarioized and
screened by the Thanhouser com.
pany This five reel drama under
the same title as that of the book
featuring Mignon Anderson, Is sched-
uled for release as Mutual master
picture.
The story is one of the wholesome
kind which makes a direct appeal to
tie spectator. The scenes laid
around Eye old mill and the in
teriors Of the Tolliver home are
realistic. The photography is not
wonderfully clear. but is good
throughout.
Supporting Mignon Anderson, who
does splendid work as Maggie Tul'
liver, are Harris Gordon as her
brother, Tom Tulliver; w. Eugene
Moore, as his father; Fannie Hoyt
as his mother; George Mario as
Philip Wakem; Arthur Bauer as his
father, and Boyd Marshall as Steven
The story Of "The Mill on the
Floss" begins with the lives Of the
miller Tulliver and his family who
live happily at and own THE Mill
on the Floss" This mill has been
owned by the Tulivers for genera
tions and there was tradition that
| if the mill, instead Of passing from
father to son, was sold to another
family, the floss would overflow the
banks and destroy the mill. Tul
, liver's son, Tom, who inherits his
| fathers hot temper, and impet
uosity, attends school while Tulliver' $
daughter, Maggie, who Is a very at
! fectionate child, but wild and nisch
| ievous, remains at home. See the
