D. ". Griffith Presents Tense
 Picture Of Deep Emotions;@ Romance
 of Happy Valley, Today at Strand

In announcing Romance of Happy Valley" as it's attraction for the rest of the week beginning today. the Strand theatre is presenting the most unusual photoplay of the season, and it is the latest production of David Wark Grif- filth. When Griffith created "A Ro- nance of Happy Valley he tore page from the book of life and invested the characters in homespun with golden glow of the romantic that touches them with a most unusual radiance.
 In speaking of his production, Grif- filth said
 Ut would be a very great happiness to me if I could know that "A Romance of Happy Valley our new photoplay which has just been finished, were to do little toward perpetuating the mem ory of phase of American life that is passing. This little play is tribute to the little crossroads town; in some such place as Happy Valley my boy hood days were spent
 'I say town for lack of a more fit ting word. Yet, in reality, it was not a town. It was little settlement at the crossroads-a little cluster of peo- pie who shared their sorrows and joys; whose lives had somehow drifted to- gether."
 D. w. Griffith has moulded one of the strongest screen presentations of human emotions, filled with tense moments, and crowded with suspense, replete with a thrill that takes the breath. All this is done with the artistry that has cha acterized "The Birth of Nation,' In tolerance" Hearts of the World' but with even a keener insight into the hearts of his characters than was manl- fested in these other great Griffith sue cesses.
 The story is unlike Griffiths other

 Suit Brought by the
 Russian Government
By AssooIated Press

New York, January 2S.-Judge Mayer, in federal court, refused here today to dismiss suit brought by the Russian government against the Lehigh Valley Railroad company. overruling the conten- tion of the defendant that there is no Russian government"
 He also declined on the ground of pub lie policy to address the state department, as suggested by the railroad attorneys, inquiring into the status of Russia in it's relations with the United States. The court held as sufficient indication that America recognizes a Russian gov ernment a statement signed early this month by Acting Secretary of State Polk certifying that Serge Ughet was act ing as charge d'affaires of the Russian embassy during the absence as an at tendant at the peace conference of Boris Bakhmeteff, who, since July, 1917, has served as amba ssador from Russia under appointment of the Kerensky government.
