an exceptional vehicle was desired,
and "The Little Princess" was select
ed. The scenario was written by
Frances Marion, from the book by
Frances Hodgson Burnett, whose
works have won great renown.
Miss Pickford plays the part Of a
girl who enjoys riches and suffers
poverty, and her many admirers will
have an opportunity of seeing her in
situations Astounding with humor as
well as pathos. In the course of the
play, as Sara Crewe, she tells the
girls Arabian Nights tales, in the
perturbation OF which magnificent
settings of Oriental splendor are
shown.
Marshall Neilan, who has directed
Miss Pickford's recent successes, had
charge of the production of THE Lit
tic Princess which is staged on a
stupendous scale,
The happy combination OF story,
director and star make pleasing
production and one that will prove
popular. Miss Pickford is noted for
the superb manner in which she car
ries an appealing role like that Of
Sara Crewe, and she does the best
work of her brilliant career in this
subject.
We are looking forward to record
audience on this picture and shall
appreciate it if as many as possible
will attend the matinees.
On Thursday there will be another
real treat when Elsie Ferguson is
shown in THE Rise of Jennie Cush-
ing" The photoplay accords Miss Fer
guson abundant opportunities for the
display of her varied talents as an
actress. The story is one of intense
dramatic interest, and it is relieved
by much enjoyable comedy. Jennie is
a child of the slums, of doubtful par
entage, who runs foul of the law when
she nearly kills street urchin, one
Of a band whom she finds torturing a
cat. She is sent to a reformatory,
where she receives sufficient educa-
tion to awaken within her desire to
climb upward. Homeless and alone,
penniless, but possessed of remarka-
bic beauty, Jennie is frequently ex-
posed to danger and temptation. but
she energies triumphant through the
trying ordeals and ultimately finds
happiness.
"The Rise of Jennie Cushing" is an
exceptional film. Viewed as a dra-
matte offering, independent of its 9TH
II admirable features, the photoplay
will more than please the most crit !

S. DAKOTA SOLDIERS
UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE
Former Madison Man Is Sta.
toned at Birthplace With
Parents at Toul, France.

Madison. S. D., May s25.-By a
strange coincidence, a South Dakota
soldier. in the person of Lieut.. Albert
kohler, who is attached to the medical
tionary army in France, now is sta
toned at Toul. France. which was his
birthplace.
In addition to being his birthplace,
Toul IS the place where he spent his
youth and where his parents vet re-
side. Writing from the home OF his
parents to his former employer, &c.
Schultz, OF Madison. he gives interest
ing information concerning members Of
his family in the var zone and other
matters. He states that his sister was
killed early In h war, when the Ger
mans first swept westward over
France, n the small shop and home
OF his parents was destroyed.
Lieutenant kohler writes in addition
that he was filled with passionate re-
sentiment when he learned of the afro
cities committed, the more SO, perhaps,
because it was his own home and peo-
pie who We're the victims. After about
eight years, residence in the United
States he enlisted In the American
army, with hopes of ultimately, ifeonly4
after the war, revisiting the scene of
his childhood.
Fortune has favored him thus far.
and instead Of being stationed in a re-
mote part of France. with the prospect
Of not being able to visit his birthplace
lntil after the close OF he war, he.
by a lucky chance. was assigned to
duty in his native town. He found his
parents and other relatives and friends
alive and well. For his impoverished
parents he now has rebuilt a four-room
cottage and a small shop for the ale
Of fancy articles. He writes thai he
sleeps at home every night when duty
does not call him elsewhere.
He, without doubt, is the only
American soldier who, while on ac-
tive service in the field. is able to make.
his home with his Alsatian parents
while contributing his mite toward the
downfall of the kaiser.

Characteristic of French musicians is
their geographical turn of mind, that
