AN INTERESTING EXHIBIT.
w. SIS,

Miss Valentine Grant, the noted
moving picture star of Ne wYork
| City, was in Shoshone Tuesday visit
| ing friends and announcing an exhi-
bition which she will give at Jerome,
Saturday, July 20, of an extensive col
lection of Allied war posters. A dance
will be given in the evening in con-
nection with the poster exhibit. This
exhibit will ,be given in the interest of
-stricden Belgian children.
| Miss Grant is a sister of Mrs. E. NJ.
Churchman, of Jerome, with whom she
is spending her summer vacation.
| Miss Grant was in Europe making
pictures at the time the war began
and personally. witnessed many of the
atrocious things which seem more like
tales of diseased imagination to us
who have not come in personal cotact
with Kaiserism in it's most horrible
form.
Miss Grant is especially interested
in little rescue home for Belgian
children at The Hague. Holland, to
which the Belgian children are
brought from across the border and
cared for until health and strength
return again.
Miss Grant has 100 beautiful War
Posters that have been collected by
her and her friends from all of the
Allied countries which she has often
exhibited in New York City in con-
nection with charity affairs. These
are to be placed on erhibit at Jerome.
Saturday, July 20, during the after
noon from until 6 o'clock with a
musical program as an added attrac-
ton. In the evening a dance will be
held from 9 until II. In connection
with the dance will be given a beauti-
full War Tableaux representing the
restoration of Belgium by the allied
Nations in which Miss Grant will rep
resent the role of Belgium.
Miss Grant at first intended giving
this exhibit at Shoshone and Gooding
as well as at Jerome but the condi-
ton of her health made it too great a
tax ON her strength and the exhibit
will therefore be given only at Je-
rome.
Miss Grant came to Idaho for the
summer under strict orders from her
physician to refrain from any form of
work or exertion but that New York
doctor was not familiar with the won
derful things Idaho climate will do for
sick people and so it has restored Miss
Grant in such a wonderfully short
space of time that she feels equal to
this undertaking in behalf of the Bel
gian children whose sufferings are SO
close to her heart.
