ONE THRILL IN NOT
ENOUGH FOR GRIFFITH

One thrill Is usually counted on for
the success of the average motion pic
ture feature. There are many in d.
w. Griffith's great dramatic epic "or,
phans of the Storm an adaptation of
Kate Claxton's 1.-THE Two Orphans"

several of these Monte Blue is the
hero. This fnmous actor. part Chero-
kee Indian and originally a rider in
wild Westerns" long since won stel-
lar eminence, but Mr.. Griffith gave
MIN the greatest role of his career in
the part of D~anton. leader of the
French revolution uprising.
Early in h story panton's life is
sought by the hired thugs that the
Royalists employer to kill off the rev.
~oluionlsts. Danton fights the advance
guard superbly. then finds refuge in
the lodgings OF the orphan Henriette

the pursuers elsewhere. Later. Dan.
ton repays the favor by pleading for
the girls life before the revolutionary
tribunal and by riding with her re.
prleve ever TO the steps of the guillo-
tine.
The ride to the rescue Is punctuatod
by a battle between horseman n

village in general has forgotten the series
of many breaks made previous to a

weeks, thieves last night entered the store
of the F. l. Webster-Stearns Hardware
Co. on Flat street Several articles of
merchandise were taken which will total
about $50. although Robert Il. Ball.
manager of the store, said the intruders
probably had taken more articles than
thus far have been missed.
The break was discovered by Mr.. Bah
when he entered his store this morning.
He found the merchandise on the shelves
disarranged and the position of the COM

Among the various articles which the
thieves appropriated were at least one

glass cutter. indicating that these tools
might be desired in committing further
breaks around town.
The thieves gained entrance at the
rear of the store by climbing up a stone
