many nice things girls and women
said to me as left the theatre and as
they clasped hands with me. I shall
never forget it.
The picture actress misses all that
applause. For the most part people
sit stolidly at picture shows, laughing
perhaps, but rarely applauding with
the hands. That is what is so discon-
certing-one never knows the feeling
with respect to ones efforts or per-
sonality. The curiosity that stirs
passers by on the street to follow one
with their eyes or even to make re-
marks assures one that ones work is
not unnoticed but such recognition
can be most embarrassing. Fortu-
nately | have had few unpleasant ex-
periences and have the feeling now
that the public has placed the picture
on new plane-so much higher than
that OF several years ago when one
was held to be a sort of freak or a
mere object Of curiosity without feel
ing and without culture. Usually
when am on the street, I wear a veil,
put the purpose is not wholly to es-
cape attention. Wells to me are a
purely feminine attribute to dress and
DO so like to wear one OF course
the veil does permit escape from too
much attention, but as am not often
In the city, have no occasion to try
to avoid the people,"

E. c. Richardson, Bar Harbor

a decision was rendered Saturday
by the Commission in the matter of
tn accident which occurred on the
premises of the Bar Harbor e. Union
River Power Co. at Bar Harbor
April 13 last, which resulted in the
death of Ernest c. Richardson of
Bar Harbor, aged 80 years, who was
instantly killed on April 10, 1921,
about IL A. NJ, when he came in
contact with a high voltage wire of
the Bar Harbor & Union River Pow
er Co, near the power station at
Bar Harbor.
Mr. Richardson had been in the
employ of the company for many
years and was what is known as
general utility man. He wasN an
electrician and was familiar with
nearly all branches of the business.
At the time of the accident, he was
employed in painting the cross-arm
on a pole near the end of the DOW
er station.
THE exact cause of the accident
is unknown, but it is probable that
in some way Mr.. Richardson must
have come in contact with some of
these high tension wires either
through the paint brush or other
wise and as a result of this contact
he slipped off the roof and fell
across the wires"

"A Lillian Gish as Anna in

If there is any motion picture ia

a tremendous hit as Anna Moore in

which comes to the Opera House on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday Of
this week with matinee performances
on Friday and Saturday, that person
has thus far escaped the attention of

hear the applause of people when
they saw Mr.. Grif1th's play. We who

DOUG MCLEAN
CUTS UPLOTS

Movie fans are rapidly coming to
the conclusion that one Charles Ray
will have to look to his honors or
Douglas MacLean may crowd him off
the street.
OF course, Charles Ray will always
be Charles Ray, but just the same,
Doug MacLean has been coming so
fast that he is now one of the most
popular performers now acting before
the camera. That's why the Colonial
will be crowded today when 1.-The

Aided and abetted by pretty Doris
May, MacLean made a wonderful hit
in "23 IL Hours Leave" He re-
peatcd this hit recently in 1.-THE

for this comedy is fully as delightful
as any that has preceded it. Doug
gets into new and unheard of scrapes,
but he comes out all right, just as
everyone hopes he will. and Doris
May is there to help him out after
the iron gates have swung open and
freed him. ,@aE
Larry Semon will hold prominent
place on the bill, too, for he will be

Germans Wonder How It
Will Feel Not to Be at War
With Old Friend, United State,

Coblenz, April 14-(By Associated
Press)-The Germans of Coblenz
have been specializing with deep
interest on the possible effect of
the Knox resolution in Congress de.
claring that a state Of war no longer
exists between America and Ger
many
Whether the adoption of that reso-
luton would cause the withdrawal of
the American forces in Germany has
been the main subject of discussion
in the German press of the occupied
territories.
The correspondent. after inter-
viewing the most representative Ger
mans of all classes in Coblenz, can
say that to the ma ority Of Germans
here, the withdrawal of the Ameri-
cans would be regarded as regret
table.
In administrative and political cir
cles, they have been living in dire
fear of the French taking over the
area which would be abandoned by
the Americans. eff we must have
occupation let it be American" is the
consensus of opinion.
Among tradesmen and shopkeep-
ers the feeling of regret would be

which ended on April 18th. last.
They are now sounding it's praises to
their friends. assuring them Of the
great treat there is In store TOR them.
''Way Down East" as it was re-
membered as stage play. did not
seem to lend itself to pictures Of an es-
pecially thrilling character. but the
hand OF Griffith has transformed this
bucolic pastoral play into a screen
classic OF no mean proportions. Crit
fifth. unquestfonably poet and ideal
list, has seen through the story Of
Anna Moore and her mock marriage a
message to humanity. and he has
painted his picture with the true sense
Of the artist unafraid and unfiinching.
He paints. truly, with a broad and
lavish brush. but his strokes are sure
and convincing. He is not an etcher,
he is a realist, almost a fatalist. But
he rings true. His message is sent
across to his audience with a thunder
ing swiftness that actually lifts his
onlookers out Of their seats in enthu-
siasm and excitement.
Mr.. GrllHtn mas taken unusual pains
in the selection of his cast and in the
choice of Lillian Gish for the role so
long played by the late Phoebe Davies,
he has shown excellent discernment.
Miss Gish carries the production on
her slender shoulders with strength
and understanding that stamps her
again as our foremost screen trag-
edienne. Special mention also is due
to Richard Barthelmess as the David
OF the story. His performance is
sympathetic and youthful, and he acts
with commendable sincerity. OF the
others only praise can be meted out,
with Lowell Sherman, Burr Mcintosh,
Mary Hay. Creighton Hale and Viva
Ogden conspicuous for acting that
helps nightly in creating a perfect
ensemble. Their support includes
George Neville. Porter Strong, Mrs.
Morgan Belmont. Emily Fitzroy, Ed
gar Nelson and Kate Bruce.
The fact that Mr.. Griffith is send
ing the production here with the origi-
nal orchestra of symphony players d.
rect from its long Boston run adds in
terest to this announcement.

There is only one class of the
population which looks upon the
presence of American soldiers dark
ly. They are the young men who
did not participate in the late war.
Between them and the average
doughboy there is no love lost and
no determination. From time to time
there are even a few clashes. The
dOughboy has it that the young Ger
man is jealous of the formers popu-
larity with the frauleins. Others
who look deeper say the larger cause
is that these young men relatively
have not suffered from the war and
they are looking to the future in a
spirit of revenge.

Richie of Belfast, aged a years,
who was instantly killed by an cleo
trio current while engaged in his
usual occupation as an expert meter
tester at Norway. finding that it
was purely accidental, through his
own momentary forgetfulness.
Richie was employed by the An
droscoggin Electric Co.. and was
testing the meters at the power
house in Norway. Having PREPARED
his apparatus, he left the power
house for the Office and on his re-
turn, threw on the switch and in
preparing to make his test, took hold
of the live standard test clips, let
ting the wires slip through his hands
until the clippers reached and
touched his hands. He was seen to
double up and sink back upon the
floor. Every effort was made to re-
suscitate him, but life was extinct
The decision concludes:
"It seems that Mr.. Richie had
been pulling the switch back and
forth while he was working on his
testing outfit, and it is probable that
he had forgotten the fact that he
had thrown the switch in only a
minute or two before the accident
occurred. 1t seems to be impossible
otherwise to account for this acct
dent, as Mr.. Richie was very
bright and intelligent young man
and had had considerable experience
