THE ATHENA LIFE INSURANCE
 COMPANY

The Aetna Life Insurance Company and affiliated companies, the Aetna Casualty and Surety Company and the Automobile Insurance Company, make an impressive showing in their annual statement printed in The Patriot to- day, with total assets of 04,839, ,890 and total surplus to policyholders of 27,601,587. The assets of the par ent company are $177,502, ,366( while the Casualty company has 5,441,- 106 and the Automobile company $11, ,896,417. This great life insur- ance company has paid to policyhold- .ers S428, ,989, ,641 in seventy-one years.
 The Aetna Life Insurance Company, an outgrowth of the Aetna (Fire), started it's independent life in 1853 with a capital of S150,000. It is in- teresting to note that its greatest per centage of growth occurred in the five years following the Civil War, when the assets jumped from s881,578 to $13,089,837. 1t is the experience of all insurance companies so far making reports that in the last two years their growth has increased by leaps and bounds, and it is certainly fair assumption that for the next three years the growth of the Aetna Life and of all other insurance companies will be on an extraordinary large scale.
 The Aetna Life Insurance Company has had only three presidents, Elipha- let A. Bulkeley, Thomas o. Enders, and the Hon. Morgan c. Bulkeley, son of the first president, whose incumbent cy of the office dates back to 1880, when he was mayor of Hartfard. The record of President Bulkeley of forty one years of the seventy-one years of the company's existence has been fill ed with achievement in many diversi- fled lines, but in none more so than in the insurance company itself. The total income of the three Aetna com panies amounted last year to $87,- 8S4,448, there having been an in crease, so far as the parent company is concerned, of over s9,000,00O in premium income, $14, 100000 in as- sets. one and one-half million in sur plus to policyholders, and over $262,- 0oO. 900 in life insurance in force. The new life insurance paid for in 1920 amounted to s495, 5,216,386 and the life insurance in force January 1, 1921. was the huge sum of over sl,- 555, ,589, ,000.
 The Aetna Life Insurance Company has entirely outgrown it's home office building, remodeled only few years ago. and various departments now oe- leunv a number of other buildings. It l is well known that great Aetna building will be erected as soon as building conditions become normal, when all it's physical properties will be gathered under one roof and then t,ere will be ample evidence to the eye of the insurance institution which is i known so favorably as one of the great Hartford companies.

WHY ONE MOVING PlCIUkf FEATURE DIFFERS FROM
 ANOTHER

These days the motion picture that appeals to the eye alone IS m large majority. The beautiful female star |trailing gracefully in gorgeous gowns and wraps and negligees has been in the ascendancy for long time, and as long as clothes hold the centre of the floor as the chief interest of wo- men this type of picture will continue to have following. But-and this IS large But-the big, human, sympa- thetic American public is always grateful for and ready to enthusiasti- cally acclaim a photoplay which Is big enough and broad enough to make an appeal to the heart and mind as well as to the eye. :.
 Such a picture is Down Home,
 the first independent production to be made by Irwin " Willat, at the Vic tory Theatre, Wednesday and Thurs day. "Down Home" is an adaptation of the Frank N. Westcott novel, Dab ney Todd" which has been read and enjoyed by thousands since 1t was published four or five years ago. II | is a story that embodies all the emo tions of which human mind and heart are capable-it makes you laugh, and it makes you cry-it makes you think of the many vicissitudes life holds for some of us, and then it makes you re- alize that we can make 2 stepping Istone to higher things out Of each trial that comes to us, if we only try hard
 enough and look at things in the right
 way. In other words, Down Home" teaches a lesson-a lesson that we should all be the stronger for having learned. And Director Irwin B. Willat
 says that he wouldn't give a nickel for
 the photoplay that does not teach 2 lesson.-Adv
