are planning a "corker" The first
two nights will be a sure fire hit as
yauc~-ille will be a welcome visitor
in Gardiner. The third night will
carry the shuttle OF the feet where no
quarter boots nor shin boots will be
needed. c. G. Brown will act as
starter and have charge of this part

This means a grand ball with Chand-

this happen, you will see some leader
of bands perform. If any person
thinks this is not going to be some

| Scenes in Hades, said to rival even
! the most fanciful of Dore's famous
drawings, have been reproduced on
the screen in Norma Talmadge's la
test First National starring vehicle,
| The Branded Woman" which will
be shown at the Johnson Opera House
| today and Christmas.
| Because of the elaborate nature of
| the sets called for in this motion pic
ture, Hugo Balm was engaged to de-
| sign them. The result has been an ar
tistic triumph.
The scenes of the Far East reveal
an open market place and a slave
block, where Norma, as the heroine,
is sold at public auction, with DON
keys, camels and natives in pictur-
esque costume lending a touch of
| atmosphere"
But most remarkable of all are the
allegorical scenes in Hades. One Of
these sets. which represents a dream
| of Norma's. wherein she inagines
herself dragged down by society3into
hideous whirlpool of slime and filth,
| from which she is rescued by the man
she loves, was filmed in a huge pool
discolored and apparently filled with
horrible creeping creatures like the
Shiny things that crawl with wings"
in The Rhine of the Ancient Mariner"
, So hideously realistic Is this pool
into which Norma plunges in a costly
and beautiful costume, that the other
members Of the cast and the extras"
playing the roles of unfortunates
caught in the river of lost souls, hes
itated to enter the water until Norma
herself plunged in.
