Wonderful Film
Sh0Wn at Opera
House Next Week

"War Brides" the first production
by the Herbert Brenon Film Corpora
ton for Selznick-P Pictures, will be
seer at the Dickinson opera house on
Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week.
This photodrama will introduce to
moving picture patrons a new star.
Nazimova. Well known on the stage.
she is now making her debut on the
screen in a film version of the plav.
by Marion Craig Wentworth, in which.
she made a sensational success in
vaudeville. She had refused all others
until she saw "A Daughter of the
Gods" which Brenon wrote and direct
ed, and was SO charmed by the work
that she signed a contract to appear
under his direction.
"War Brides" is an intensely dra-
matte story, but while it has to do
war, there r no battle scenes. A
trench is shown, and the effect Of the
fighting upon the troops, but 10
battle scene is enacted. The main
story has to do with the sufferings of
the women at home. Joan, the young
widow, defies the military authori-
ties, and urges the young women of
the village to refuse to become brides
Of the departing soldiers. She is i'm
prisoned, but escapes, and leads a
band Of mourning women to meet
the King and protest against war.
Her own individual message she de-
llivers in a most dramatic manner.
Herbert Brenon has excelled him
self in this production. His previous
successes, "Neptune's Daughter"
"The Soul of Broadway" "The Glenn
~enceaus Case," "The Kreutzer Son.
ata," and others, have won for him
a reputation second to that of no
other director in the world, and he
stakes his reputation upon "War
Brides" as his greatest work down to
the present.

DICKINSON
WOMAN DIES IN
EASTERN HOSPITAL

Mrs. John Boldt of Golden Valley,
but a former resident of Dickinson,
died recently following a lingering ill
ness. She was a victim of cancer
and was in apparently the best of
health when she left Dunn Center for
Golden Valley not a year ago. She
soon after took sick and on going to
Bismarck and then to Rochester was
given very little encouragement by
the doctors there. She finally went
to Chicago for treatment and was get
ting along fine according to the last
reports received by her friends so
that her death came as a shock to
the people of the community, who had
hopes of her recovery.
Olive Todd was born in Iowa, where
she spent her early girlhood. She
married John Boldt at Garrison.
From there they moved to Dickinson
and made their home for three years,
Mr.. Boldt working in meat markets
in both places. They moved out from
Dickinson and filed on a claim seven
miles north of Dunn Center on the
edge of the brakes, where they abode
five years. No railroad or other con-
veniences made lots of hardships to
put up with which Mrs. Boldt accept
ed without a murmer. After the
claim was proved up on they moved
to Dunn Center, where they lived I'M
til about a year ago when Mr.. Boldt
bought an interest in a meat market
and they moved to Golden Valley.
She leaves, besides her husband, two
brothers, Bert and Ed. Todd, and a
brother, Robert, in Pasadena. Her
mother, who made her home with
her, died just about a year ago.
