Mary Pickford's new Aircraft pro-
duction, The Little American"
staged under the personal direction
of Cecil B. De Mile, contains many
thrilling incidents, one of which is
the torpedoing of the great transat-
lantic liner, the Veritania, while
sees the beautiful ballroom sudden
ly submerged and the throTg of
beautifully gowned dancers thrown
into the water. By a strange coin
cidence these big scenes were taken
on the second anniversary of the
sinking of the Lusitania. The Lit
tie American" will be shown at the
Grand Opera House Friday and Sat
urday of next week.
There is a whole lot of empty talk
ia this life; there are plenty of peo-
pie who are willing TO see someone
else make self-sacrifices and ,.denials
and who Will tell what a. fine thing
it is, but when the matter is brou-
ght home to them, and they are ask
ed to make such sacrifices, no mat
ter how small. they are so selfish
and so wrapped up in their own per-
sonal convenience that they will not
do so. This seems to be the situa-
ton with reference to deliveries by
the merchants of Cambridge. Ev-
eryone is willing for someone else TO
do without deliveries, but no one
wants to do without them themsel-
yes. We may hate to see our boys
go abroad to fight, and all those
things, but we are not willing to
plan ahead and help conserve; our
resources to bring this war to an
end quickly. The matter of deliy-
cries will be discussed frankly ana
pointedly in the next issue of this
paper.
