roPEKANs SAW FRENCH FILMS
Conditions Overseas Shown at Or
phcum by kindergarten Workers.


Many ex-service men were among
the hundreds of Topekans who at
tended the moving pictures at the
Orpheum theater Sunday afternoon
when films were shown of the deyas-
tated regions of France and the work
of the Jardin d'Enfants, the American
kindergarten unit in northern France.
Many scenes in the pictures were IA
miliar to the men who had fought in
France. The larger part of the audi
ence was composed of ex-soldiers and
children.
The vivid pictures of the battle
fields and the present condition of
France were taken by the Pathe mo-
ton picture photographers who ac-
companied the Jardin d'Enfants'
workers in their tour of the district
at Christmas time. when Christmas
trees were arranged by the unit in
many ruined French villages from
Lille to Arras, providing gifts, music
and good times for the French chill
dren, many of whom had had little
pleasure for five years.
Miss Julie Brown and Miss Sophie
Smith, members of the Jardin DIN
fants unit, who were in charge of the
pictures and who attended the con-
vention of the International Kinder
garten union in Topeka last week,
were prominent figures in the pic
lures. Voluntary contributions made
at the theater will assist in the work
of the Jardin d'Enfants
