PANY WILL PRESENT THE
CHIMES OF NORMANDY"

The Chicago Light Opera company,
which is to appear in our city on
March first, has been one of most
popular attractions in fyceum and
chautauquas for several seasons. This
season they are presenting "The
Chimes Of Normandy" The scenes
of this charming little opera are laid
in an old Norman village, where a
fair is in progress. The story told
is romantic one and the music is
full of grace and gaiety.
y The company has among it's number
such artists as Miss Mirth Carman,
who was formerly prima donna with
the Joseph f. Sheehan Opera COM
pany; Robert White, bass, and Mr..
Geiss, formerly baritone with the Chi
cago English Opera company, and
Curtis Polk, tenor, together with 9TH
er well-known singers.

community to hear this opera given
by such artists, who present it in
elaborate costumes and style.

THE FOOLISH VIRGIN
COMING TO EMPRESS

Clara Kimball Young, the screen
star supreme, will appear in her Sec
ond Selznick-Pictures offering, an
adaptation of "The Foolish Virgin"
Thomas Dixon's striking novel at the
Empress Theatre on Wednesday,
February %.
This production is expected to
prove a worthy successor of Miss
Young's first venture at the head of
her own producing company, "The
Common Law" the story offering
even greater opportunities in intense
dramatic situations than did Robert
w. Chambers novel.
In "The Foolish Virgin" Miss
Young will be seen in the role of the
girl whose ideas of life are confused
with the romantic stories of the days
of chivalry which she is fond of read
ing. Knowing nothing of realities,
the heroine is deceived into marrying
man who turns out to be criminal.
The girl exerts her influence toward
the redemption Of the man she loves
and it is during this process of char
acter building that the tense drama
tic scenes in which the story abounds
develop.
AS in The Common Law" Miss
Young has been aided in making the
production a splendid example of mo-
tion picture are by the mastery dir
ection of Albert Capellani. her direct
or-general, and the presence of a
superlative cast of immensely popu-
lar motion picture players. Conway
Tesrle, who made such a decided hit
in the role opposite Miss Young in
"The Common Law" will be seen to
particular advantage in the leading
male part of the new production and
Paul Capellani, who has been seen in
number of Miss Young's greatest
pictures, also has strong role.

Charles w. Bignell passed away at
his residence on South Bridge street
Monday morning at $3.50 o'clock, ag-

been sick only about three weeks,
having continued at his work in the

publications of those early days, as
a reporter and compositor.
About twenty years ago he came to
Smyrna and a few years later moved
to Belding, having entered the en-
ployment of Frank j. Luck as fore
man in the News office.

known, was well liked and knew the
printing business from one end to the
other. He possessed a fund of know
ledge and had a keen memory OF
events which he could recall with ease
During the last few hours of his
life at intervals in his delirium, he
would seemingly be anxious about the
setting of advertisements and the
making up Of forms, talking about
getting them ready for the run OF
the paper.
The funeral was held at the home
of his brother, G.. o. Bignell, at two
o'clock p. M, Wednesday, where many
