PavIowa Comes April 2Sth

"The Dumb Girl of Portici," the
greatest motion picture masterpiece
the Universal Film Manufacturing
company ever produced will be shown
at the Amazon Theater, Saturday,
April 28th. Matinee at 2:30 D. m.
This is the picture in which the in
comparable Anna Pavlowa makes her
debut on the motion picture screen,
and reviewers who. had the pleasure
of witnessing an advance showing of
this picture are unanimous in their
opinion that no person save the inim-
liable Pavlowa could interpret the
role of "Fenella" with the same
amount of sincerely and get as much
out of the role of the dumb girl of
the sea village as could Pavlowa.
Pavlowa drew ST., 1000 in two per-
formances in Los Angeles, Califor-
MIA, while during the week afterward
the Metropolitan Opera company, in
Guiding all the worlds greatest sing
ers combined as an attraction, could
not attract the equal average at the
box office. Therefore the public
which is not privileged to see Paw
Iowa in a massive film spectacle at
the price of admission vastly below
any she has ever appeared, may con-
graduate itself on the wonderful
development of the motion picture
art which is now reckoning the
worlds greatest artist in the direction
of the film studio.

HOSPITAL FUND
IS GROWING
NEW INSCRIPTIONS RECEIVED
THIS. WEEK-DANCE SAT-
URDAY AT COPELAND

Although a great part of the past
week was well filled by meetings
of committees and the organizing
of various patriotic organizations the
work of the Hospital Building COM
mittee has not been wholly neglected
and a number of new subscriptions
have been made
Among the larger subscriptions of
the past week was that of the
Knights of Pythias lodge which on
Thursday night agreed to donate
500 toward furnishing a room in
the new hospital.
The Copeland people will turn out
en- masse Saturday night of this
week for the benefit dance which
is to be held at the Community hall.
The hall and music for the occasion
has been donated. A number of
Bonners Ferry people plan to attend
the dance.
Another subscription of especial
note is that made by the members
of the G. C. G. club. The girls of
this club informed the committee
that they might have more of a
subscription to offer later on and
that before long they would gladly
give dance for the benefit of the
HOSPITAL building fund.
The Hospital Building fund COM
mittee should be able to complete
it's work of soliciting subscriptions
in very short time now. Before
the committee is ready to call its
work done it hopes to see every
citizen of Boomers Ferry in the eff
fort to secure funds for a worthy
cause. 1t is time now that all who
have hesitated for one reason or
another should decide upon what
sort of a subscription they will make.
Don't let another week go bv with
out having your name on the sub
scription list.
The subscriptions made the past
week follow:

START CLEANUP
CAMPAIGN
April % to % Is Boomers Ferry's
Annual Cleanup Week.

This week beginning April % and
lasting throughout the week will be
Bonners Ferry's big spring cleanup
campaign, when every resident is
expected to get busy with rake, hoe,
shovel and other implements of war
fare against dirt and rubbish.
In conducting this campaign the
city council and Civic league have
primarily in view the health and at
tractiveness of the town which de-
mand that following the close of the
winter season and before the begin
ming of the summers heat there
should be a general cleaning up of
all yards, streets, alleys, barns, and
cellars and the removal therefrom
by burning or hauling away all trash
and unclean matter which if allowed
to remain would be the means of
spreading disease and breeding in
sects as well as being unsightly and
detriment to the development of
our little city.
1t is hoped that everyone in Bon
ners Ferry will show the true COM
munity spirit by making every pos
sible effort toward making this cam
paign effective not only by cleaning
up and putting their own premises
in order, but in aiding as far as
possible in the clearing up of spots
throughout the city which might
otherwise be neglected.
On Saturday, April %, the city
will provide teams which will visit
every. residence in the city limits
and haul away the unburnable rub
bish which has been collected during
the week. This must be ready for
the drays in boxes or sacks and
placed in convenient place in street
or alley.
The latter part of the week the
ladies of the Clean City committee
of the Civic league will go over their
respective districts in order to as
certain if all premises have received
attention.
