 Town Hall-to show Chapin's 'The Son of Democracy" notable series is rec commended by Famous Persons-Abra- ham Lincoln leading character in short stories of American life. Probably no other motion picture ever has been so highly praised and favorab y discussed as Benjamin Chapln's ''The Son of De- mocracy," presented by Paramount, which will begin it's run at the Town Hall Wednesday, July 17th. 'The Son of Democracy" consists of ten two-reel dramas, each complete in itself-one is to be presented each week. MT. Chapin has been working five years on these comedy dramas of early American life. They are bristling with adventure, hu- nor and pathos, and are of special inter- est at this time in that Abraham Lin coin, the boy and the president, are lead ing characters in the thrilling tales. Ben jamin Chapin is known as one of the finest of motion picture directors, with a special talent for genuine humor and heart interest. As an impersonator of Abraham Lincoln, lecturer, vaudeville actor and dramatist, his fame is nation wide. In '"The Son of Democracy" " which he wrote, he makes "Abe'' 'treg- ular boy" and emphasizes the truly hu- man side of his rise to the presidency. In the White house stories MT. Chapin shows the inside workings of things po- litical, demonstrating that Lincoln s problems were much the same as those of President Wilson. Always the plays are good humored. Such persons as Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Ma "; Mrs. William Grant Brown, presi- dent of the New York State Federation of Women's Clubs; Alice Nelson, the grand opera star, and others of note. recommend ''The Son of Democracy" as an unusually fine production. "The Son of Democracy" is first splendid entertainment. It has all the elements of the best of features-frst rate fights, gasp-bringing thrills, genuine comedy, moments that bring real tears, and al ways the suspense necessary for 8 suc- cessful play. Throughout the nation it has been recommended by workers for ''better pictures" On the same program with the first feature of "The Son of Democracy" will also have a five-reel feature.
