Mark Twain's Masterpiece in Film
Form,

AS a special attraction, the Opera
House will show, beginning to-
morrow and for two days only, the
big, new William Fox film version of
Mark Twain's funniest book, "A Con-
necticut Yankee in King Arthur's
Court
AS readers of Mark Twain will
realize, this book offers wonderful
scope to motion picture director,
and it is surprising that no producer
until now has undertaken to put it on
the screen. The Fox production is
on a huge scale, bringing out the full
force of all the situations invented by
Mark Twain's fertile Imagination,
and translating for the eye all the
splendor of medieval court life that
Twain had described in words. It
aroused the greatest enthusiasm at
a pre-release run in Los Angeles.
A Connecticut Yankee" is more
than funny; it conveys an argument
of striking force. 1t sets out to
prove the thesis that we are as good
as our great-great- -grandfathers. 1t
is the fashion nowadays to talk of
the good old times: Mark Twain
shows us just what the good old
times really were like. "a Con-

I'm the Maine Woods" for 1922, the
official publication of the Bangor &
Aroostook Railroad Co, the only pub
lication of its kind in the State, has
made its appearance, in an unusually
handsome dress and quality of con-
tents. Being the only publication of
its kind in I1aine and with most of it's
$4,000 edition distributed outside the

pages of varied and interesting in
formation, pictures and maps about
the Pine Tree State. The covers are
in four process colors, the front being
a scene on the trail to Slaughter Pond

and the back cover scene near the
looking onto Abol mountain and the
Saddle of Katahdin, the glacial for
nation being plainly shown. The
frontispicce is a fly fishing scene on
Sourdnahunk stream. Facing a full
page half tone scene on the West
Branch of the Penobscot is a full
page AN Invitation to Maine-the
Nations Playground" by Governor
Baxter, and an excellent portrait of
His EXcellcncy.
The illustrations, all fine half tones,
comprise about a dozen full page
scenes, about fifty smaller ones and
scores of the same quality cuts in the
advertising. About Is maps are also
given. The cuts are works of art,
many of the photos having been by

sive Bible paper. The book is on
