Movies Find Rip
Van Wrinkle Town

| Springfield, H., Sept. 7-(By the
| Associated Press -Bernadote, Rip
| Van Wrinkle town, is awakening from
century of sleep.
Like those souls living ION yonder
hilp' above Spoon River, who were
quickened into life by the magma
ton of Edgar Lee Masters in his
Anthology" the unperturbed inhabi-
tants of this strange little village on
the same Spoon River have been
| touched with life by the pen of a
newspaper writer.
Without telephones. automobiles,
railroads or any modern conveniences,
this town had gone on in it's undis-
turbed way for hundred years,
sleeping quietly in n busy world, I'M
til few days ago when it was dis
covered" by motion picture director
and the next morning awoke to fame
with a column of type in q Blooming
ton newspaper.
G. L. Varnard. looking about for a
location" to film a country town
scene, ran across the village. 1t has
no railroads and half the inhabitants
claim never to have seen a train. 1t
has no picture shows, and of course
had never seen motion picture cam
era. There are no telephones and no
lage grist mill is still grinding away
every day with water from the same
spillway that supplied the mill cen
fury ago.
But now strange things are hap
pening in Bernadotc. Big automo-
biles whizz through the village.
There is the unusual smell of oil and
gasoline. The swirling dust from
many pneumatic tires distresses the
bewildered inhabitants. Old ladies
in calico dresses no longer go their
quiet way to the village store and
long whiskered old men no longer
calmly white the hours away under
the village trees. Their nerves twitch
and the day is no longer calm.
The article describing the rustic
wonders of the supcrannuatod village
has brought tourists from far and
wide.
About the town go unusual look
ing men with cameras and stage APP
pearanceS. They are the moving
picture people who are going to put
Bernadote in the films. Bernadote
is sleep walking. Some of the Oldest
inhabitants think it's a nightmare.
Most of the folks of the town are
farmers. A few of the oldest are con-
sidered to be retired The Others
work in the fields, harvesting crops
from the same ground their fathers
and grandfathers titled.
There are two small wooden build
ings in the village that serve as

town house would be too small to ac-
commodate the voters so the question
of a new hall was discussed.
The Odd Fellows, who had been
planning a hall of their own thought
this the time to act. A special town
meeting was called and an offer made
the town. 1t was voted to give the
lodge the old hall and lot and two
thousand dollars. The new hall is to
be used by, the town for all public
purposes IND to contain a suitable
office for the selectmen. Under the
direction of the building committee
A. M. Stratton, B. V. Tozier and
Frank Walcott plans were drawn up.
the old town house moved and work
began on the foundation early in the
summer of 1921.
The building itself is 40xS0 feet,
two stories and basement and will
cost about $4,000. The foundation is
of cobble stone and cement. The
building itself is of wood frame con-
struction, with steel girders and floor
supports. In the basement are the
furnaces for heating purposes one in
each end of the building. The dining
room is also in the basement and is
fitted with all modern convenienoes.
Two soapstme sinks fitted for hot
and cold water will make dishwash-
ing easy for those who have this
work to do. Here is also located the
pneumatic pressure tank and pump
to furnish water The pump is Of
the automatic kind. driven by an
electric motor. When the pressure
falls below 40 pounds the pump
starts of it's own accord and con-
t:nues pumping until the desired
pressure is reached, then stops.
On the first floor is the main hall,
40X5O feet, with a stage twelve feet
in width across one end. In the rear
of the hall next the entrance is the
ticket office and stairs descending to
the basement and ascending to the
upper story To the right of the en-
trance is q passage way leading to
the ladies' and mems toilets, which
are supplied with flush closets and
running water. A balcony extend
ing about eight feet over the main
room is built across the rear. Back
OF this are the rooms for the moving
picture machines and selectmen's
office both of fire proof construction.
On the second floor is the lodge
room 40x4O and an outer room.
ladies' room, a smoking room for the
men, also toilets with flush closets
and running water.
Such is a brief story Of the new
hall which is situated on the main
street of this little village next the
Besse school building. The building
is regarded with a good degree of
pride by all the townspeople.
