Little Mary Sunshine" Won
Her Fame bv Her Own Work

You would not think that the biog-
raphy Of S-year-old little girl
would be either long or very inter-
esting. That's because you don't
know the little girl this story is about.
Her name short while ago was just
Marie Osborne.
One night she went to bed. She
was unknown except to privileged
few. In the next twenty-four hours
she had become world famous. The
Pathe Gold Rooster play, Little
Mary Sunshine" in which she was
the star, had been shown that day
in all the big cities OF the world.
Then came, Shadows and Sum
shine" Joy and the Dragon" Twin
Riddles, Told at Twilight" and
now, Sunshine and Gold" which the
Empress theater is to present Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday. 1t is a
wonderful story Of tears, laughter and
thrills in which a little girl being
kidnapped by gypsies, wins the heart
of a rich old man and then learns
that he is really her grandfather.
Since the beginning OF her screen
career she has been to practically
every city OF importance and every
civilized country of the world. She
always travels in a round tin box
much too small for an ordinary hu.
man being. On the top in big letters
are the words, Precious, handle with
care" They tell the whole story.

Controversy Over Purchase of Property
 in Town of Mentville.

At the superior court session in this city on Tuesday morning Judge Will liam s. Case and a jury started to try the case of Annie Maria Fillmore of Norwich against Charles A. Gager. The suit was for $5,Oo0. The defendant is a. nephew of the plaintiff, who is S7 years old.
 The plaintiff alleges that in August, 1911, she bargained for an agreement with Tryon c. Robertson for the pur- chase of a farm in Montville belonging to the Robertson estate and that on Aug. 25 she placed $500 in the hands of the defendant for the purpose of paying it upon the purchase price of the property. At the same time the defendant was indebted to the p aintiff for $500 and that he agreed to pay to Robertson the entire amount of S2,000 for the farm and the defenda>-t took a deed in his own name, corceahng from the plaintiff the fact that the deed was in his name until two years later
 Soon after the plaintiff bought the property, it is alleged, an agreement was entered into whereby the defend ant was to have the use of a 12-acre lot and that he should pay the taxes and insurance and furnish her with necessary articles of supplies, pro- visions and fuel as she might require for her comfort.
 Mrs. Fillmore was the first witness. and she told of the transa ctions which she had with her nephew. The case continued until 1 o'clock, when court adjourned until Thursday.

MEMORIAL EXERCISES
 FOR FRENCH SOLDIERS
Mayor. Allyn L. Brown Delivers Ad-
 dress on Our Debt to France.

An enthusiastic gathering of mem bers Of the D. A. R., a score of French in all, met about 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon near the Old Cemetery en- trance on the Green, where sixteen years ago the boulder to the memory of French soldiers was placed. En- graved on the boulder are these words: In memory of twenty French soldiers who, serving under Lafayette, died in camp at Norwich Town, IT'S. Placed by Faith Trumbull Chapter, D. A. R. Twenty French flags with American flags were about the boul- der.
 As Mrs. Charming Huntington was regent of the chapter when the bouI- der was presented by her mother. Mrs. c. E. Platt, it was deemed fitting that she be in charge of the exercises. We have placed the tri-color with the Stars and Stripes at the suggestion of one of our number, Mrs. Huntington said. As pr. Howe offered prayer at the unveiiing of the boulder 1t is fit ting that we should today be led in prayer by him after the singing of the Marseillaise. Omer Tellier led in the singing which was in French and seemed most appropriate beginning of the event to be noted. After pray CT by Dr. Howe The Star Spangled Banner was sung.
 Mayor Allyn l.. Brown was greeted with applause as he stood near the boulder to gay a few words. It seems to me that in this time of conflict that these exercises simple as they are, are in tune with events now transpiring. This ground has seen deeds of valor and we as neighbors for lSO years are glad to bring greet ing. While French soldiers were en- camped on the Green the sick were cared for in the courthouse. and when twenty of their number died they were Buried here. This is concrete evil dence of our debt to France and the time long waited for is here. the debt long-owed will be paid. Who can tell who of us standing here may make that same sacrifice? May there not be in years to come on French soil some such scene as this when people may gather about the place where our boys are lying to do them honor and reverence? This should be an inspiration for the future when we may be tried as never before in our lives. May the. lives of these French soldiers inspire us to meet our future with faith and courage.
 The singing Of America closed an occasion of great meaning historically, calling to plind like events in the vanished life of the town.
