 The Knights of the Round Table of several churches will attend the per- formances this evening.
 "A Connecticut Yankee" is proving a sensation as a film attraction here. The delicious satire of Mark Twain's novel is retained in the photoplay version and some very good comedy situations added. The story has lost none of its attractiveness in its film form.

gress in which thirteen States were
represented. At that congress, Wash

officers and his men. 1t was made
incumbent upon him to select his
officers from the material at hand;
to supervise the work OF supplying
his army with ammunition. food.

senual to war operations.
I'VE honor Washington for his
courage. his military genius and for
the magnificent work he performed

Washington created for the benefit
