Grand Army Veterans
Enjoy Birthday Party
As Guests of d. o. V,

It is really an important event to
have first birthday party and es-
pecialIy is~it noteworthy when the
guests of honor are well along in
their sixties and seventies, but
such was the case when Barbara
Frietch;e tent No. 81 Daughters of
Veterans entertained last evening
at the first annual birthday party
honoring veterans of John Buford
post G. A. r. The Daughters have
long been in the habit of remember
ing the birthday anniversary of
each comrade with gifts of some
kind, but sought to find some way
to honor every one of the veterans.
The annual birthday party was de-
cided upon and the first event was
held last evening at Memorial hall
in the court house, a company of
$50 or more comrades, their wives
and a few special guests being en-
tertained. Success marked the affair
from start to finish and even the hot
evening could not mar the pleasure
of the party.
An elaborate chicken pie dinner
was served at $50 o'clock, the
guests being seated at tables which
were beautifully trimmed with
streamers of red. white and blue ex-
tending the length of the board.
Flowers in baskets and vases, sug-
costing the national colors. were
placed at intervals on the table and
sprays of asparagus ferns were laid
on the cloth. The delicious dinner
in several courses was prepared by
the Daughters and was served
promptly and well.
At the conclusion of the last
course a program of talks and
music was carried out. Mrs. Essie
Siemon; president of Barbara

lose his love, if need be. He ap-
peals to her patriotism. What he
asks is for America and only she
can do it, for the suspect already
is at her feet. The woman con-
sents. What she endured while
carrying out her promise, how she
suffers and what it costs her, and
what the amazing climax is, will be
seen when the drama comes to the
Brotman's Rialto theatre Thursday.

Katherine Macdonald, who plays
Mary in ''The Woman Thou Gavest
Me-" Hall Gaines novel in screen
form which is on view at the Ma

all fighters. Miss Macdonald new

on a thing she feels she should

At the American.

"Josselyn's Wife" today is the
latest production for exhibitors mu-
tual release starring Bessie Barris-
Gale, is a powerful drama of COM
pick and emotional elements which
will hold the audience tensely wait
ing for the final climax which re-
solves the murder mystery and ex-
oneratcs the innocent victim of a
domestic tragedy.
The mystery surrounding the sud-
den death of Thomas Josselyn is
one of the cleverest contriVed stu
atoms ever shown on the screen,
and when the real cause of the old
mans death is revealed. the effect
is electrical and unexpected.
There is a female ''love octopus"
in the play who ensnares men and
plays with them as a cat plays
with a mouse. Lillian JOsselyn was
a feline enchantress with the 1.-the
and sensuous charm of panther.
With a temperament of hot ice,
she lured on Gibbs Josselyn, her
stepson, and caused him to break
with his father in a violent quarrel
She played false even with Gibbs,
staying at the house of another man
the very night she had appointed to
see Gibbs.
Love intrigues, heart breaking
experiences of the faithful life, the
mysterious murder of her husbands
father, eliminating in the convic-
ton of Gibbs as the criminal, fol-
lowed in rapid sequence in the
Long Island mansion. The final
clearing up of the murder mystery
and the re-unitiRg of Gibbs and
Ellen, make a happy ending to a
story of power and emotional
thrills
