To Government Clerk

The addition OF $40 to the sal
airy of Federal and District en-
ployes and the frightening OF the

hours, stripped OF Congressional

'HEARTs OF THE WORLD"

Children of the stage and the mo- tion picture are ever constant wonder to grownups. The latest Juvenile wonder to be seen on the screen is Master Ben Alexander six year old son of MT. and Mrs. Charles Alexander of Pasadena, California, who appears as The Littlest Brother in D. W. Griffith's Hearts of the World" at Polls, eight days com mencing Sept. IS. Reserved seat sale starts Sept. g.
 This little fellow, so small that he appears almost babe in arms, truly is a wonderful child actor. While Hearts of the World" has been tre- mendous triumph for MT. Griffith. for the beautiful Lillian and Doro- thy Gish, and for it's managers, Messrs. Elliott, Comstock and Gest, surely when the final score is count ed, all who have seen this remarkable production will give credit to little Ben as being wholly worthy of the | Order of Merit and the War Cross for bravery.
 This little chap accompanied MT. i Griffith and his company to France and to the battlefields, where, within actual range of the giant guns, he proved himself as brave as any o1 his older associates, acting his beau tiful scenes often during lombard ments by the Germans. In one scene especially this tiny youngster risked his precious life to help in securing a very vital situation in the story. II this scene, by fortunate circum' stance, little Ben was unharmed wher buried under an avalanche of plaster and laths. When audiences look up on this scene and see the tiny actol buried under the wreckage, there ii a catch at the heart strings, for tt many 1t appears as though he were caught in the awful holocaust. WheI the dirt is dug away and his little form moves the audience sighs, witt relief on seeing him blink through the dust and filth. And when ht looks up and smiles, showing that ht is unhurt, there is a general feelins of qualification.
 All this and more Is brought ou
 so remarkably by little Ben that
 is difficult to believe he is of sucl tender years. His emotional acting i
 equally unusual, and he never fail to bring tears to the eyes of hi audience when, with his own littl l cheeks wet with the tears of sorrow who is going forth to fight for France and for liberty.
 Little Ben will merit watching.
