SUPERB FILM OF
u. s. HISTORY TO
BEGIN TONIGHT

, Students Of the local high schoo
and junior college were the first
! fortunate spectators to witness the
premier showing of "America AT
the Valley theater. A special matt
nee was given at the theater to
dav at 1880 p. m. for their special
benefit, and every afternoon this
week will see the Valley crowded
with eager students. Manager Brick
h&s announced special rates in con
nection with the showings and to-
morrow afternoon the elementary
school children of FL Centre will
be guests Wednesday the school
children of Imperial will see the
show in n body.
Tonight the great film opens to
the general lublic and il is ex-
pected that the picture will mark
an epoch in local film circles, as
it has Il wide appeal that none can
resist.
This picture play is merely IN at
tempt to suggest in a small way the
great sacrifice made by our fore
fathers that America might become
Il free and independent nation.
1t is in no sense an attempt to
portray the story of the Revolutio-
nary War: as that story is TOO tre-
mendous to be told fully by many
picture plays, much less by one.
No efforts have been spared to
have the historical incidents as
correct as possible. The villages of
Lexington and Concord were de-
signed from the Doolittle drawings,
and descriptions given by writer's
Of the day.
In the conflict at Lexington and
Concord Bridge. despite the rum
bers engaged, the picture shows the
exact number killed.
The battle lines at Lexington are
exact reproductions of the original,
as to numbers 800 British against
II Americans.
The details of Paul Revere s ride
are historical incidents and not
dramatic conveniences. When pur-
sued by British horsemen, he out
rode them by hurdling fence and
gate eross-country, finally losing
them in a quagmire.
Replieas of Paul Revere's Ian
terms were actually hung in Old
North Church for the signals.
The drum used by the Minuta
Men is the original one used at
the Battle of Lexington. Several
flint lock guns carried in the scene
were actually used in that strife,
and pistols shown are those reeov-
cred from Major Pitcairn s horse,
after being abandoned when injur-
ed.
Buckman 5 Tavern is an exact
reproduction, and the Clark home
is an actual photograph of the ORR
ginal.
AS for Walter Butler, symbol of
other leaders in the battle of auto
eracy against freedom, Fiskc, per
haps the greatest of the American
historians, says he is the only char
acter in al history in whom ht
could find not one single redeem
ing 1raE. -.
America. will serve to rein
troduce the local theatergoers Miss
Carol Dempster-and a Miss Caro-
Dempster who has become no
table emotional actress. In this un
usual picture, Miss Dempster ha'
the only female role, and in conse
quence much of the burden fall:
upon her slender shoulders.

Babson Finds Advertising In
Newspapers Is True Barometer
OF Local Business Conditions

BABSOE PARK, Fla. Feb. 25.-
\ new barometer was added 20 the
list of factors on which changes
can be anticipated by Roger w. Bah
SON, who in statement today dis
eussed the studies made by his as
sociates covering the relationship
between newspaper advertising and
local business. I'VE have long
needed a reliable measure of bust
ness psychology says Mr.. Bah
son. My associates having studied
and rejected several indices finally
analyzed newspaper advertising
lineage, both as a cause in changing
local business conditions and as a
barometer by which impending i'm.
provement or decline can be antici,
rated. The results in this field of
investing are exceedingly interest
ing and pertinent.
I'm comparing newspaper adver-
tising by months with the volume OF
local business in 80 leading cities
for a period of ten years, my asso-
ciates find that there is distinct
connection between these two fac
tors. An increase in newspaper adj
vertising is paralleled in almost cv-
cry case by an increase in local bus
ness beginning the same month.
When the lineage of local newspaper
advertising turns and begins to de-
cline the momentum gained carries
the general business in the commun-
ity either from one to three months
hotore it definitely turns down

Chicago Figures, Proof
"The figures on the city of Chi
cago, for instance, illustrate this
