EDITH WESTON AvERILL
Passed Away Last Evening After Short
Illness With Pneumonia.

Edith Weston Averill, native o.
Barre and for the greater part OF hel
life a resident here, passed away al
s:45 last evening at the home of hel
sister, Mrs Leslie Lawrence, Is East
ern avenue, after having been sick will
pneumonia since last Saturday. Priol
to that time she had not been feel
ing well, having severe cold, but sht
was persistent in her desire TO perform
her home duties and TO assist in chure!
work and undoubtedly she became over
tired so that she was less able TO re.
sist pneumonia when once that disease
set in.
Miss Averill was born Dec. Z, 1867
the oldest of the children of John W
and Adela fTrow) Averill. Her early
life was spent on the home farm OF
Beckley hill and she later went to
school at the old Barre academy and
Goddard seminary. On finishing her
school, she taught for time and then
became engaged as a governess, having
positions in the latter work at Port
land, Me-, and Hudson, N. Y. On re,
turning to Barre she made her home
with her sister, above named, and had
been there the greater part of the time
since then.
Miss Averill was a woman of strong,
Christian character and she accom-
plished a great deal of good in the
community. She was particularly de-
voted to the work in the Congregation
al church, where, as the pastor stated
to-day, her position will be hard to
fill. She not only was a tireless worker
but she also was capable executive
in planning various lines of activity,
At the time of her death she was treas
urer Of the woman's association OF that
church. directing head of the Junior
Christian Endeavor society, superin-
tendent of the junior Sunday school
and one of the leaders in the home de-
partment branch She was always
ready and willing to do what she could
to assist in the work, having been
busy right up to the time she was
forced to take to her bed.
In her home circle, too, she was very
devoted and to her friends she was
very loyal.
Besides her mother. who still re-
sides on the home farm, she leaves
four sisters and one brother, broth
err. Milton. having died when young
and her father having passed away
three wears ago. The sisters and broth
er are: Mrs. Leslie Lawrence of Barre,
Mrs. Merry Townsend Of Hardwick;
Mrs. Ira Lawrence Of Barre, John 4.
Avcrill of Barre and Miss Addie Av-
eriIl who resides with her mother.
The funeral is to be held at the
Congregational church Sunday after
noon at $3.50 O'Clock, Rev. 7. L. Good
speed officiating. and interment will be
in the family lot in Elmwood Gem
etcry.
Friends are requested TO omit flow

At the Orphcum.

The funniest play Will Rogers ever
made is Doubling for Romeo" He
is coming to the Orpheum the first
half of next week and you will be able
to see his funniest picture. There
seem to be no limits TO the comedic
possibilities latent in viii Rogers.
Each new photoplay in which he APP
pears is more humorous than its
predecessor. In Doubling for
Romeo" he portrays a cowboy lover
whose sweetheart refuses to listen to
his bashful Iovemaking. She will have
none other than the man who can
make love like a movie" hero. Con-
sequently the cowboy lover goes to
the movies to learn how to make love.
His experiences at the studios are the
most humorous scenes Will Rogers has
ever played. He learns of a chap
named Romeo; after reading about
him, dreams of himself as a modern
Romeo. What happens then is a rich
satire on Shakespeare's immortal love
drama.
Strongheart, the famous Belgian po-
lice god and war hero, stars in 1.-The

Season after season, whatever the
place or the occasion, his audiences
have filled hall or theater to the doors.
These eager and returning listeners
have included connoisseurs of the vio-
lin and of vioiinists; musicians in gen.
eral quick to recognize a master in
their art; the public of experience, in
telligence and taste in concerts; the
public that knows when it is pleased
and time and again takes it's pleasure;
the curious about an illustrious figure
in the chronicles and the conversation
of the hour; and, finally. those with
or without an ear for music, who feel
in Mr.. Kreisler the sway of a potent
personality. No other violinist of our
day has gathered and kept such audi
ences.
Kreisler appears at the city audi
forum here April 1, under the au-
spices of the Ralph Holland Concert
Series. His concert will be the last
number presented by Holland for this
season.

ture productions are a definite influ-

to replies received from editors of
newspapers and magazines in all parts
of the United States, to questionnaires
sent in the Tomas H. Ince World
Wide Survey of the Motion Picture.
OF the 795 answers received to this
question, 695 declared. that in theaters
where the productions are selected
with care, a definite influence is eX-
erted for better citizenship. A total
of AZ answers were in the negative
and So were .non-committal.
The Importance of the screen dur

was given in many of the replies, as
definite evidence of it's value in i'm
proving American citizenship.
The silver screen is a greater agency
than any other in reaching minds that
probably would never be affected by
any other medium, responses to the
flood of missionaries, declare. Of
the sos replies received to this query,
731 emphasized the Importance of the
wholesome truths of life visualized in
the motion picture theater as a means
of bringing out an appreciation of
finer things in the minds of the great
mass of people, % felt that the film
had no such influence and 81 were

of film art that was ever seen, that is
the name it bears. And riehtfully, for
D. w. Griffith has made from the sim
pie tale of human folks picture that
grips and holds you, makes you laugh,
makes you cry and after the dramatic
climax you have run the gamut of
human emotions.
Crowds compel us to hold Way
Down East over another week. Those
that saw it before have been to see it
again, and were just as well enter
tanned this time as the time before.
That is the test of a real picture, and
it stands the test.
What has been said to be the great
est piece of emotional acting is done
by Lillian Gish, in several heart grip
ping scenes. Principally when her
child dies in her arms, and when the
Squire drives her out of his house into
binding snow storm. Speaking of
the snow storm, when you see that
part of the picture, you are looking at
the real thing. No Prop" snow was
used in this scene, no fans were used
to whip the snow around, but nature
herself supplied the bowling gale that
near cost Lillian elsa her life Elk
posed s she was to the elements she
caught a severe cold that delayed the
production several weeks. Asset of
signals had to be arranged between
the cameraman. director and actors.
During the shooting" of the ice
breakup scene, snow frequently
clogged the liens of the camera. D.
w. Griffith stuck to his post with
mega phone in his hands shouting
against the wind, his directions to the
actors This was all done, all these
hardships were endured, just to give
to the screen and the public what is
called realism.
