WONDERFUL CHILD ACTOR
Hearts Of the World" Opera House
Thursday and Friday

The most, wonderful child actor
the screen has ever known is seen
in d, w. Gritfiths supreme triumph,
Hearts of the World" to be present
ed at the opera house tomorrow
night and Friday AFTERNOON and
night the work OF this precocious kid
arouses laughter, tears and applause,
Hearts of the World has been a
tremendous triumph for "a w.
Griffith for the beautiful Lillian and
Dorothy Gish but certainly when'the
final score is counted, all Will agree
that this remarkable youngster, Ben
Alexander, is, entitled the Order OF
Merit and the War Cross for bravery
The little chap, who is just seven
years of age, accompanied d. w
Griffith and his party to the battle
lines in France wherenthis wonderful
story was filmed within sound of the
big guns and at times actually under
the fire of the German guns. The
youngster was as brave as the rest
Of the players and in one scene actual
~ went under bombardment in order
to get the proper atmosphere for. that
part of the great screen drama which
shows the destruction of the French
village by the German guns. In this
scene, by lucky circumstance. llttlt
Ben was unframed when buried I'M
der an avalanche of plaster and laths
The enormous interest in this child,
screen achievements is always re
lected at every performance wher
he unfolding drama reveals the littl,
hap buried Under the wreckage, ant
when that Isl dug away and his it'll,
i.rt-covered form IL lifted into view
The audience signs with relief wher
he little chap blinks through III,
dirt, looks up and smiles, SHOWING
hat he Is unhurt.
Mr.. Griffith and his party had man,
harrow escapes during the variou,
COMPARTMENTS but little Ben Alexan
Ter probably never had narrowe
iqueak for his life than during tina
it.rring scene which fortunately III,
irlfiith cameras preserved as one o
he big moments Of Hearts Of the

Orange and Windsor, not benefited
by the canal might be given a little
extra road money while the barge

for the benefit OF mountain and rural
towns not so much interested in
waterways. a real farm development

in connection with the publicity de

after three bad years the Valley

thousand dollars in debt, but the
hackers Of the association are TAX
ing. the right course and are planning
to make tremendous effort to pu
the fair out of It's difficulty. The
Valley fair was the first big fair in
Vermont TO make distinguished
success, so far as we know. For
thirty years 1t advertised Brattle-
boro far and wide and If the stock
holders are shrewd enough to take
this into consideration they have
gotten back the value OF their stock
many times over. A good many
times the indirect benefit is greater
than the direct and this applies par
ticularly to fairs. White River juno

The Brattleboro Reformer has the
following article on improving the
Molly Stark Trail.
The matter OF good roads is one
that is uppermost in the minds of

ton, bill having been introduced
creating state highway commission
and doing away with the office Of
state highway commissioner. The
patrol committee, SO called has con-
fined its efforts for the present to
the one object Of better roads. Ey-
cry farmer, as well as every dweller
in town or city, is interested In fact,
says the local correspondent Of the
Springfield Republican, the good
roads question, while as old as the
hills, Is still one OF interest to all.
