MARIE DORO MAKES
 DIVINE WOOD NYMPH

There are some beautiful classic dancing scenes in the heart of a great forest and also some thrilling pictures of the woods on fire and heroic rescues in the new Fine Arts Triangle play, The Wood Lymph" at the Arizona, starring Marie Doro. Miss Doro wears light, filmy gar ments and has her long dark hair streaming down her back, as she dances lightly through the forest. She has the grace and abandon of the old Greek dancers. Her face is alight with the joy of life and her arms and limbs wave in rhythm to an old mel ody to which the fauns and satyrs might have tiptoed

lamara

In Loves Cross Roads," at the La mara today, one of the most striking revelations of the way the undercur- rents of New York life have their eff feet on those in high places is depicted with startling realism. Miss Marie Elm press. who makes her Equitable debut as the star has accomplished a wonder full piece of work in this production, and the difficult role which she had to enact, which compels her to run the gamut of human emotions, is handled in a way which proclaims her a past mistress of screen artistry.
 There is not a dull moment while the play is on the screen, and the way in which the final startling climax is brought about is so different from any thing so far seen that it will prove a welcome surprise to lovers of the screen drama.

1880 MAJORITY; PRIMARY Wins
Astonishing Endorsement of Local Option Sur.
prises Even Its Warmest Supporters
mary Law Carried Ten Counties and
Has Majority Of 3429-23
Licensed Towns

| Vermont emphatically sustained To-
| cal option and kicked prohibition
| down the back stairs yesterday by a
majority of over 1900 in total vote
| of about 50,000
All over the state many country
roads were blocked and the result was
| small vote. The majority against
prohibition would have been many
thousand larger had the farmers been
able to get out for the astonishing
thing about the election was the way
the rural dry towns swatted the
Perry bill.
Only one county in the state went
for prohibition, Orleans, and that only
by 397, whereas in 1903 Orleans gave
prohibition majority of 2i17 in a
total vote of 1881. Windham, Orange,
Windsor, Lamoille, Grand Isle, Essex
and Caledonia which gave strong ma
jorities for prohibition in 1903 were
even more emphatic for local option
yesterday.
These prohibition counties alone
would have killed the Perry bill with
Bennington, Rutland, Chittenden and
Washington counties left out.
Only scattering town here and
there voted for the Perry bill. In this
county Rupert and Stamford went for
the bill. In Windham county Vernon
voted for 1t by majority OF five and
Stratton by majority of four
Every one of the other 81 towns gave
majorities against the bill.
Brattleboro, the home Of Francis E.
Perry, father of the Perry bill,
repudiated the measure by majority
of 56S. Stamford in this county where
Mr.. Perry was born gave majority
of two for the Perry bill.
The country towns Of the state have
found by the experience of the last 13
years that local option is better
temperance law than prohibition. The
yearly vote under local option keeps
temperance sentiment active and
warns the would-be liquor seller that
his town is against him. For this rea.
son the country towns voted by about
two to one majorities against the
Perry bill and then turned around and
voted no license by an equally de-
cisive majority. boa
Had the cities and large towns been
cut out of voting yesterday the small
er towns would have killed the Perry
bill by a substantial majority. Dorset,
which always votes dry, went against
the Perry bill 142 to 25 and voted no
license by SO to g. Arlington voted
against prohibition 167 to 40 and voted
dry 1873 to SO.
The vote by counties on the Perry
bill was as follows:

America. The industry Of digging 1t
is unlike any other in the world. a
kauri forest is beautiful sight, but
kauri gum country is treeless, barren
and desolate, even and swampy very
often, with singularly heavy, cloggy
soil, out of which the gum formed on

are whole stretches of this treeless
kauri country with nothing but lit

The vote of bennington county was

The primary law was adopted by the
voters by a majority of 1929. 1t car
ried all the counties except Essex,
Orange, Rutland and Windham.
The primary was at a disadvantage
owing to the greater interest in the
Perry bill. The primary ballot was on
tinted paper and there is no question
that its majority was materially re-
duced by the confusion over the bal
lots. There were also many blanks,
over 100 in Bennington, and in other
towns in proportion.
Under the circumstances the sue
cess of the primary is gratifying to it's
supporters. The vote Of this county
on the primary was as follows:
