NEW HOPE RED CROSS

The Public Health Asso. held its
regular meeting in the Library Mon
day, May 2 at four pm. with all
committees represented.
The report of Miss Knowlton, the
Community Nurse, showed that 10
cases had been under care during the
month of April, requiring 80 nursing
visits. Infant welfare, prenatal, SOC
ial service, and other visits numbered
66. Clinics and office treatments 10
Making a total of 166 visits. There
were 20 we'll babies under supervision
during the month.
It should be more generally under
stood that the Metropolitan Life In
surance Co. will pay for nursing SER
vices for any of its policy holders,
and they should not hesitate to take
advantage of this liberal provision
for their welfare.
The nurses salary of $500. a year
is obtained entirely through individ-
ual subscriptions in the community.
A house to house canvas has recently
been conducted by the committee in
charge, but those who were not at
home when the call was made are
now asked to give their contribution
to Mr.. C. S. Worthington, the treasur-
err, at the Solebury National Bank.

WHAT TO SEE IN
PHILADELPHIA
bob HAMPTON OF PLACER.

"BoB HAMPTON OF PLACER"
Marshall Neilan has finished the
most spectacular production he has
ever attempted BOB HAMPTON
OF PLACER" an adaptation from
the Randall Parrish book by the same
title, and it is announced to have the
first presentation at the STANLEY
THEATRE, 10Th and Market SITS.
Philadelphia, the week of May 9th.
In dob Hampton of Placer" the
director has a plot that is of partic-
lar dramatic intensity and with the
most natural and beautiful back
ground possible. In order to get this
atmosphere, Mr.. Neilan took his en-
tire production organization to Glac-
Ter Park, Montana, and to Fort En-
schuca, Arizona, where amidst nat
urally artistic surrounding that have
never been photographed before, he
staged the setting of his story.
Mr.. Neilan transported two ten
ton electric generators and dirigible
"blimp" together with other new mo-
ton picture production apparatus.
Most of the action takes place at
night in the heart of the mountains.
Unusual effects were obtained thru
the use of the "blimp" by placing
the photographers where something
new was made possible in motion
picture production The historical
charge of Sitting Bull and his saw
ages on the little band of soldiers
headed by General Custer was most
faithfully reproduced, and serves as
the dramatic climax of the story In
taking these scenes, the 'blimp"
was of particular advantage, allowing
the photographers to float over the
action at will. Marion Fairfax worked
for months on the scenario of Bob
Hampton of Placer" and it is con-
sidered her masterpiece. The names
of the cast prove it to be a star pro-
duction. James Kirkwood, Wesley
Barry, Marjory Daw, Pat O'Malley,
Noah Berry, Dwight Crittendon,
Charles West, Tom Gallery, Pris-
ella Bonner and other popular ar
fists.
