HART MOUNTED
IN
NEW PICTURE

Proving that he is versatile and
talented, William s. Hart comes to
the Augusta Opera house Memorial
day and Tuesday in the role of an
officer of the Royal Mounted police,
known far and wide as one of the
most intrepid and indefatigable or
CARNATIONS in the world. The pic
ture is "O'Malley of the Mounted
and in the title role Mr.. Hart has a
part that suits him down to the
ground"
1t is only in the beginning and end
that he appears in the familiar uni
form of the Canadian Northwestern
Mounted. For in the body of the story
he is disguised as a purely western
plainsman, while he pursues a muir
derer. How he finds him and then
lets him escape, is the subject of a
gripping tale which will hold the au-
dience spell bound by its suspense
and thrill.
Eva Novak, who appears opposite
Mr.. Hart in THE Testing Block" is
again leading woman and there is an
able company in support of the ia
nous star. The settings are splen-
did.-Adv.

Laughs-lots and lots of them-are
provided in "Coincidence," the Metro
special feature that will be given at
the Colonial theatre this afternoon
and tonight. 1t is a rapid-fire come

other qualities that go to make up

1t tells the amusing story of Billy

department store. Through the
strange mischance of piece of
money blowing out of the window,
the boy meets Phoebe Howard a
pretty young stenographer, with
whom he falls desperately in love.
Trouble, however, is just beginning
for Billy jerks. He receives word
that his aunt has died, leaving him a
fortune, and it is his i'll luck to have
it stolen from him just about the time
he has planned to get married. And
ill luck in the form of coincidence
continues to pursue Billy jerks from
morning to night. In his efforts to
escape from the police, he rushes into

ulous man about-town. just as the

There's absolutely no secret about
the wonderful ability Douglas Fair

go about it. For days and days he
practiced in his gymnasium at the
studio and incidentally, got some
rather severe falls. Still he would not
give up. And when the day finally
arrived for the filming of this par
ticular "set" he did his back somer-

law correctS that. 1t also extended
the time in which the first list of
men could apply for the bonus up to
Jan. 1, 1922. We now have under
consideration the discharges of 232
men who had remained in the service
after the first law went into effect
We have also 430 applications from
men since March 90 last, the time
limit under the first law, who had not
applied within that required time
These will all be approved and al
lowed or denied very soon after July
IL next.
Another thing in connection with
the Soldiers Bonus. is that every
discharge paper sent in by an appli-
cant has been copied into the mill
tary records of the State of Maine
and returned to its owner by regis
tered mail. We don't know of a
single one having been lost.
This statement means great
deal to the State and its citizens,
both now and for the future. For, it
means that the State of Maine has
now, already, what probably no other
state in the Union hasa complete
official record of all of it's World
War soldiers. 1t is said that some
states have nothing in that line. being
obliged to depend entirely upon the
records of the War Department in
Washington; while others have but
partial records of their own. Just
think of what tremendous adj
vantage the Maine records will be in
the future in the thousands of pen
sion claims that will naturally arise
with the passing of years. Our boys
as they grow old and infirm, will be
safeguarded in securing their just
deserts from Uncle Sam as no other
in the land-because we have their
official records
''As to the time it will take to
wind up the Soldiers Bonus work,
that is impossible to say, for it de-
Ponds upon the time when the neces-
sary papers and proofs are received
here in order to decide the last case.
AS it is, the job has been a stupen-
dous one, far beyond the eXpecta-
tions of anyone connected with any
part of it. Tha it has been practi-
cally completed in the time it has, is
to my mind, mighty fine piece of
work. / also think, as the boys come
to realize the magnitude of the job
that they appreciate more the work
that confronted us and in view of the
fact that sometimes between 5000
and 10000 letters were on hand that
could not be reached for weeks are
inclined to think we did the best we
could. We certainly tried to-"

The Curtis Hill and Paris Tele-

which several companies lines also
run. The company feels that some
or all of the other companies are en-
croaching upon it's rights and privi-

particulars:
l. To define the limits within
which the Curtis Hill and Paris

the other corporations, persons or

meeting Gil, Friday M,


Major, tell us something as to how
nearly the Soldiers Bonus work is
completed in your department" was
the remark to Assistant Adjutant
General Charles z. Davis. The re-
ply was immediate and to the effect
that it was nearly completed and
with the advice: You run right in
and see Judge f. c. Smith, who has
been having the details of that work
so long in charge that he knows
every part of it and has it at the end
of his tongue"
So we ran right in to Judge
Smith" and asked him the same
question. to which the judge said:
well, we are nearing the end; in
fact, all we have on nand now is
what we call the trouble cases,
which mean the applications for the
bonus, with which the applicants
have not completed the required
proof; have not filed their honorable
discharge, as required by law; or
have not filed affidavits to prove
residence, etc.
up to May II last, the date of the
last compilation, this department had
approved 29,S24 claims, which have
been paid 500 each. 1t has denied
for various reasons, GA claims. And
there were then pending 221 claims,
which number has since been reduced
to less than 200.
you will note by these figures
that the original estimate of 10000
claims to be made under the old or
first law was practically correct.
Now under the amended law,
amended by the SOth Legislature,
100000 is to be available for the
Bonus, to be paid after about July II
next when it takes effect, to the
Maine soldiers, sailors and marines
who were inadvertently left out of
the provisions Of the first law. The
original Soldiers Bonus bill provided
that every applicant must send in
his discharge paper, which of course,
left out those Maine mon who re-
manned in the service. The amended
