BALLOON RUNS OFF
WITH PICTURE CAST
Mack Sennett Players Producing
"Moily @" Taken by RIimp From
Pensacola ~ Cuba


Accidents such as wrecked the huge
zR-2 causing death to the majority of
her crew called attention to the fatal
weakness which exists in all heavier
than air craft. The broad expanse OF
surface which offers resistance to air
currents seems to present an obstacle
which the best engineers have not yet
conquered, because a frame strong
enough to withstand all pressure is too
heavy to be included in an airship.
Nearly everyone who has ever ridden
in a "blimp'' has encountered this dam
ger, and IN one case this very weak
ness of such crafts carried an entire
motion picture company from Florida
to Cuba. The company was the one
which appears in Molly o." the Mack
Sennett production starring Mabel
Normand, the Associated First Ma
tional Pictures attraction which will
be shown at the Isis theatre beginning
next Monday.
The climax of the picture is a scene
in whichsthe kidnapped heroine is being
taken awaN in ''blinp" and the hero
gives chase in an aeroplane. The
scenes were taken in Pensacola, Fla,
and while the "blimp" was in the air
for the long shots a heavy offshore
breeze sprung up. blowing so stiff that
the commander of the dirigible did not
want to take the chance of turning and
permitting the breeze to strike broad
side on the big bag.
The engines were kept going. hold
ing the ship almost stationary against
the breeze. When the wind died down
TO a point where the commander
thought it safe to fight it, the landing
was made there

Election of officers for the ensuing

Several considerations have urged
the dramatic committee to make a

There have been several produc-

81 Years
A NATIVE OF BENNINGTON

DR.. Frederick S. Pratt, lifelong
resident and prominently identified
with the industrial history of the com.
munity passed away early today at
his home on Washington street. He
had been chronically III for many
months but there had been no pro-
ntunced recent change in his condi-
ton .5aa
With Mrs Pratt he returned Sunday
from a trip to Pinehurst, N G., and
the following day attended the reg
uar meeting of the Bennington Coun
ty Savings Bank Of which he was one
of the trustees.
Frederick Stafford Pratt was the
only son of the late Stafford and Fanny
Pratt and was born at the family
home which stood on the present site
OF the postoffice So years ago the 5th
of March just passed. He was edu-
Gated in the Bennington public schools.
at Williams College and the medical
department of the college OF New
York, graduating from both institu.
tons
For a few years he practiced medi-
cine. having his office at the house on
South street, but soon after his first
ma r-a.e he became connected with
the knit goods manufacturing firm OF
George lockwood & Co., and with
which he was identified at the time OF
his death.
Although never seeker after pub.
lie recognition he had served the vii.
lage as president of the corporation
and had maintained from its existence
an active interest in the Public We'll
fare association For 27 years he had
been treasurer of the First Baptist
deacon for nearly the same length Of
tmo and an active worker in all OF
the church activities. His advice and
counsel will be missed by members OF
the organization with whom he has
been so long and so pleasantly asso-
ciated.
DR.. Pratt was twice married. His

died mora than twenty years ago and
who was survived by two daughters,

WANTS CHANCE TO WORK
Lawrence E. Brown, Formerly Resi-
dent Of Bennington


Lawrence T. Brown, former resi-
dent Of Bennington employed by the
Rutland railroad, IS now living IN
Gardner, Mass, and is confined to
getting about in wheel chair
Mr.. Brown left this town in 1909.
About a year later he was stricken
with infantile paralysis in its worst
form, which left him deaf, dumb and
blind, besides causing him to lose the
use OF his lower limbs. He was treat
cd in a Massachusetts hospital for
nearly seven years and finally re-
covered his sight, hearing and speech.
The fates seemed to plight misfor-
tune continually for the victim. His
wife died during his own helplessness,
leaving him with two small children
whom he struggled to support
Like many another who has left
bennington, MIR. Brown wishes to re.
turn and make his home here provided
he can be given some kind Of chance
TO earn his livelihood
The message that he sends to
friends is not in the line of begging
His argument for an opportunity Is
that he was a strong robust young
man with a family and every prospect
in life. disease came upon him and
blighted him physically but failed to
rob him of the determination to earn
an honest living and rear his two
daughters. There are a good many
things that he cannot do, that no man
in wheel chair could do, but there
are other things, such as tending
store or assisting In certain kinds Of
mill work that he would be able to
turn off as we'll as the next man.
Mr., Brown communicated with the
editor of the Banner with the idea
that someone would give him chance
II he wree only informed and knew
the circumstances.
When Mr.. Brown lived here he was
highly respected by those with whom
and for whom he worked and with
whom he came in contact. He mum.
bers among his friends: James Wood
James Whitney, Judge f. l.. Bates,
James C.. Colgate and many others.
His address is: Lawrence Il. Brown,
