MONTEREY, va, AUGUST 10, 1917

Hon. B. H. Hiner, of Franklin,
spent few hours in town Satur-
day last, and while here brought to
the attention of some of the county
officials and road men scheme
now on foot to secure federal aid
on an interstate highway, north
and south, in which Highland IS
interested.
1t appears that chances are good
to make the South Branch route a
link in this important national road
between the North and Virglnia's
famous resort, the Hot Springs,
and, as was stated last week, the
rule having been adopted that a
group of counties must CO operate
and agree, a convention has been
called to meet at Mooreheld on the
25th inst, at which delegates from
the counties of Hardy, Grant, Pen
dleton, Highland and Bath will
consider the project and take such
steps as may be necessary at pres
ent.
As a matter of course, Highland
people are more directly and vitality
interested in the east and west
route, that being a more direct and
important outlet for all the people
of the county, but it is understood
that this move for aid on the Cum
berland-Hot Springs line will not
work any detriment to the claims
already filed for government funds
on the S. & P. This being assured,
Highland will be quick to unite
with the other counties crossed,
and cooperate in the last-named
scheme. Monterey, at the cross
ing of two great highways would
soon get strictly on the map, and
the proposed Improvement would
be on a section of her worst road
from the county line at Forks of
Water to this place. This is sandy,
rocky, steep piece of road, hard to
keep up and mean to travel, and
to have it converted into an auto
mobile highway would be just

SIDE TALKS
Those Living Books: Read Them!
NJ RUIN CAMERON

Did you ever think, as you saw
some white haired old lady, some
white bearded old man sitting musing,
while the young life eddied and
swirled about them and yet left them
aloof, what volume each one is Of
old romances and tragedies, and sor-
rows outlived and strange experiences
and ful1llments and disappointments
Did you never wonder why we
younger folks talk to and of our
selves and leave those precious vol
umes unopened?
Out of the emptiness of few
shallow years we chatter.
We wear out our few experiences
by telling them over and over, and
exc out our conversation with our
ready opinions on things Of which
we know so little that it is easy to
be positive.
Why Do We Prefer Made Up Stories?
And then we turn to, books and
magazines and read the stories that
some man spins out of his brain
pale reflections of life.
While all the time these living
books lie neglected on the shelf
A little old lady in a lavender
dress and a white and lavender jer-
sey and a crown of silver while
hair, started this train of thought
She sat by the fire knitting for the
soldiers, set apart from the rest Of
us in the double isolation of age and
a slight deafness.
We had been chattering the usual
chatter-our likes and dislikes in the
way of food, our opinion of the con-
servation program and how it was be-

EVA TANGUAY AT
KEENEY'S THEATER

Eva Tanguay as headliner at Keen
ey's theater, Is one of the seasons SEN
satioA1s. She is seen in The Wild
Girl" a Selznick production, d1stri-
buted by Select, in which Harry Web
or presents her to the public for the
first time on the screen. The role Of
Firef1y, the wild girl, gives Miss Tan
quay characterization III which she
is happily at home, and her interpre-
tation of the part leaves nothing to be
desired. Left with tribe of wander
ing gypsies who had befriended her
dying father, Firefly is brought up as
a boy. Only the old chief and the
woman to whom he has confided the
child's care know the secret of her
SEX The fact that she will inherit a
large Virginia estate on coming OF age
makes her a valuable possession and
she is INDUCED in every way:
AS she reaches her majority the
gypsy band wanders southwark and it
is while they are camping in the Vir-
ginia country that accident reveals to
Vosho, the chiefs son, the truth Of
Firef1ys sex. He seeks out his father
and demands her hand IN marriage
When the old chief demurs and re-
world, the younger man becomes dou-
bly, insistent, pointing out the fact that
marriage will bring the girls fortune
under their own control. In the end
the older man gives in and the mar
rage ceremony is observed.
In addition to this feature there will
be a tive-part drama, The Silent
Lady, an appealing story, with
Gretchen Lederor and little Zoe Rae in
the leading roles. The character OF
Miss Snmmervilie, acted by Gretchen
Lederer, stands out the strongest.
Miss Lederer plays with thorough
ness that convinces throughout, and
due to her capable acting the heart
appeal is increased to great extent,
Little Zoe Rae. as the child, offers
just another of her natural and
pleasing characters.

LIMA CAVALIER
AT LYCEUM THEATER

Startling and dramatic from be-
ginning to end, with plot of inter-
national importance running through
out, 1.-THE Eternal Temptress," star
ring Lima Cavalieri, the noted opera
singer and stage beauty comes to the
Lyceum today, to remain Friday and
Saturday. This is Cavaliers first mo-
ton picture appearance, and every
thing has been arranged to make it
suspicious. Nothing has been spared
to make her initial picture one that
will remain topnotcher.
Incidentally, the motion picture
vampire class receives an addition, for
Cavalier enacts such a role. The fact
experience seems to make no differ
ence with her, every move being as
though she were a veteran Of the
screen. The fact that she is con-
sidered one of the most beautiful
women in public life and the gowns
she wears in manner all her own
are two-fold reasons for expecting her
to offer something better than the Or
binary. In this case the expectation
is lived up to.
Taking 1.-THE Eternal Temptress''
for it's story, we find Princess Cordelia
Sanzio, a young italian widow, the OBJ
ject Of the affections of everyone in
her part of Italy. Her wonderful
beauty and marvellous personality
have led men on, only to find that
she toys with their affections. Finally,
Harry Althrop, son Of Colonel AL
throp, a noted American diplomat
comes under her spell. Harry becomes
infatuated with her, and spends his
money recklessly to make her life
enjoyable. While the young Ameri-
cans funds grow lower, his passion
for the beautiful Italian becomes
greater and he develops an intense
jealousy. Prince Estezary, an Aus
trian keeps sharp lookout on the af-
fair and when he knows that the
Americans money is about gone, he
sends one of his aids in as a rival.
The American becomes frantic and
in order to keep up With the Austrian
in the line of gifts, accepts an offer
of Estezary to secure paper OF ex-
traordinary diplomatic value, which is
in his fathers possession. The con-
tact is that If the paper is delivered
to the Austrian prince, the American
Is to receive one million dollars. The
paper contains Italy's views on the
war, and is wanted by the Austrlans
for reasons that are self-evident.
The American steals the paper from
his father, turns it over to the AUS

DOUBLE ATTRACTION
!, 4. \ .,.' AT FOX'S TT1EATER

: Christmas shopping had to give
way last night, for the stronger attrac-
ton presented at F'oXs theater was
too good to be, ignored. It is seldom,
indeed, that two such stars grace one
program as June Caprice, the lovable
little Sunshine Lady of the Fox
studios, and Douglas Fairbanks, the
man who made laughter a popular
form of exercise. Miss Caprice is here
in the latest picture she has made,
and it certainly is good. Unknown
274" is the title, and 1t tells in an ap-
pealing manner the life story Of an
orphaned waif who, purely through
her sunny disposition and innocent
goodness, works her way up from the
orphan asylum to the highest position
that society could offer her. "Un-
known 274" Is essentially a glad"
story, but there runs through 1t
thread of the tragic and, the pathetic
that brings to the fore some hitherto
unsupported talents of the gifted little
star.
Old Doug Fairbanks, who is seen
in one of those ripping Wild West
! pictures that only he can make prop
| erly, Is always a. most welcome &C
QUESTION to any show, and his pres
| emit vehicle, THE Good Bad-Man,"

.nkeab1e bandit who holds up trains
and jollies the victims into thinking
| they are having a grand old time all
the while he is relieving them of their
valuables. But Passin' Through
| (Which is the name he, takes) has a
| past that is shrouded In deep mys-
| terry, and the uncertainty surrounding
| his early life causes him some very
! perplexing and unpleasant moments.
And the story of how he solves his
problem and wins a certain little lady
who is loved by another bandit chief
makes decidedly absorbing and I'M
usual screen drama.
Among the other subjects on the
excellent program, which will be seen
tonight for the last time, are an ex-
citing chapter of 1.-The Red Ace' and
the entertaining Ford Weekly.
Tomorrow will bring the screens
handsomest actor, Harold Lockwood,
in a f1ve-act Metro wonderfully of
love and youth, 1.-The Square De-
ceiver." It Is described by those who
have seen it as a. delightfully."- joyous
comedy with heart-interest touches.
Another very popular picture will be

those excruciably funny Fox Sunshine
comedies. Those who saw 1.-THE Milk

Wedding Bells" need only to be re-
minded that they were Sunshine COM
edies and they will be sure to see
His Smashing Career" which will
! also be seen at Fox's Friday and Sat-
