 The Valley of Tomorrow" which is being shown at Mauk's Columbia theater today and tonight is undoubted- ly the biggest thing that William Rus sell has appeared in-bigger even, dra- matically, that "S.x Feet Four" in which he recently achieved such sensational success.
 The new production is, however, a totally different type of story. even though it's locale, like that of "Six Feet Four" is western. The producers with good reason make much of the fact that the picturesque wonderland of Lake Tahoe furnished all those enthralling scenes of forest, mountain and rushing river which the camera man has caught with such masterly fidelity. These shots have been woven into the screen fabric not as many detached illustrations m book, but as part and parcel of the drama itself The result is ad- mirably satisfying and artistic.

SPORTING
ALUMNI CHALLENGE
HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
Would Arrange Game Before Rutl~nd
Trip-Think it Would Help Team
and Provide Funds for Trip.

To the manager of the high school football
team:
In response to the repeated requests of
the coach of the BrattleborO high school
football team for the alumni to give the
team some practice. the alumni take this
opportunity to issue a formal challenge
for a game between the high school and the
alumni to be played sometime previous to
the game with Rutland The alumni feel
that such a game would serve two pur-
poses
First: That it would give the team ex-
perience in playing against larger and
heavier mon. and would lend added conf
dence in themselves individually and as a
team.
Second: That the proceeds from such
game could be used advantageously in
dpfraying the expenses Of the Rutland
trip.
