SICK CHILDREN ON TRAIN.

When the Southern Railway east
bound seven o'clock train reached
Greenwood q night or so ago it was
discovered that two infant children,
about one and two years Of age, ac-
companied by their father and moth
er, were aboard the train and both
children said to be almost at the point
of death. DR.. j. Preston Kennedy was
summoned, and the conductor kindly
delayed the train until DR.. Kennedy
could make hurried examination and
administer to the suffering infants,
for whose chances of recovery he held
out little hope. 1t was later learned
that the eldest child died before the
train reached Winona, the destination
of the parents. We learn that the 9th
er child died the next morning.

AT GREENWOOD THEATRE TO.
DAY.

Manager Schilling Of the Greenwood
Theatre announces for today an en-
gagement extraordinary in the first
appearance as an independent star of
the most famous motion picture ac-
tress Of them all, Mary Pickford. Her
newest and most elaborate play of her
long career is called LESS Than the
Dust" and was written especially for
her by Hector Turnbull whose name
on manuscript is complete evidence
of superlative merit. He credits his
inspiration for the story of "Less Than
the Dust" to poem of the same name
written by Laurence Hope. As de-
veloped and elaborated the play tells
the story of little English castaway
who is living in India practically, an
outcast and regarded by the natives
as actually "less than dust" which
they stir up as they walk. In her
conception of the heroine Miss Pick
ford takes full advantage Of the OPP
portunitiey offered for the display Of
the whole run of emotions from tear
compelling characterization to the
well-known ability Of the little star
for extracting clean and wholesome
fun from the situations provided by
the author.
LESS Than the Dust" contains
many really big scenes,t many of
which are furnished by an uprising
of the natives against England. A
complete city was erected for the
filming of these scenes hundreds of
extra people were employed and vari-
Gus geological exhibits were ransacked
for the rare animals required to con-
vey the necessary atmosphere. Pic
turesque indeed are the settings pro-
vided for Mary Pickford and COM
pany of supporting players of high
and evenly balanced merit will be seen
when "Less Than the Dust" is pre-
scented by Aircraft Pictures Corpor-
alton, which was organized especially
to distribute the new Mary Pickford
pictures throughout the entire world.
