of 1000 or 5000 citizens of Camden
and vicinity. Governor Brewster

1t was Impossible to make a count

pie. led by Governor Brewster, thus
pledged themselves.
Among the other cities and towns
in the State that staged Defense Day
celebrations before large gatherings

gusta, Eastport. Hallowell, Gardiner
Lewiston and Waterville. General
Hanson said the response was very
gratifying and very encouraging te
the War Department and to those
charged with the handling Of the
policies of our National Defense.
THE committees in the various
communities went to work in a bust
nesslike way and made the obser
vance a success beyond expecta-
tions." asserted General Hanson. He
expressed his appreciation of the
work Of Governor Brewster. who was
very helpful and greatly interested ir

Canadian WiIds Sees Movie for
First Time Then Walks Fifty
Miles Back to His Cabin.
Percy Marmont, Jacqueline Logan
and David Terrence, being very hui
man people, naturally are happy to
know that their screen acting has
brought pleasure to others. And, It
goes without saying, they have been
assured of such a fact on countless
occasions. But chances are that no
fan letter they have received has in
terested them so much as one re-
Gently relayed to them from Quesnel.
a very small town in the uninha bited
wilds of British Columbia, ESQ miles
above Vancouver.
The letter related the undiluted
happiness enjoyed by Bill Brown, an
eighty-six year old sourdough and
gold miner. who has spent the last
filthy three years of his life in the
solitude of the Canadian wilds, when
he was privileged to glimpse for the
first time a motion picture. 1t was
the Paramount film of Kiplings mas
terpiece, "The Light That Failed" in
which Marmont, Miss Logan and
David Terrence enacted the princi-
pal roles.
The missive was sent to J.. Z.
Archer, an executive of the Para
mount office at Vancouver, B. c.. and
was shown to Mr.. Marmont while he
was working in Herbert Brenons
latest picture, 1.-THE Street of Forgot
ten Men. A Quesnel friend of Mr..
Archer wrote the letter, which fol-
lows, in part:
bill Brown of Baskerville had
come to town from his claim on New
Creek. Bill went to Barkerville in
1872 and for fifty three years he has
remained there ever since. The
farthest south he has been in that
time was the Australian Ranch,
twenty-one miles below Quesnel,
which was in 1905.
THE old prospector Is eighty-si
years old but still reads without
glasses and is lively as a man Of
forty. l met him at the door of the
hotel, as he was coming out for a
walk around town. 1 got thinking
that perhaps Bill would like to see
the show. After supper l told my
wife that I was going down to the
hotel and see if 1 couldn't persua lie
Bill to come along. He thanked me
when asked him to go along.
He said to me, 1 will not forget
you for your kindness for long
time, and this will give me some
thing to think about for years.
Will not sleep much tonight. 1t
seemed like as If the actors and ac-
tresses were really there on the
stage, and they weren't there at all.
1t made me forget the outside world
for a time
1t struck me that perhaps Bill had
never seen moving picture before
and l asked him. No, he said. I
saw a picture show in Barkerville
about Is years ago, but it WASH
quite the same as this
early the next day he had started
on for his claim, fifty miles away.
He started out walking ahead of the
stage and when the stage got to
Beaver Bass forty five miles out. Bill
had arrived there an hour ahead. and
gone on from there on snowshoes
across Dragon Mountain to his pros
pect tunnel on New Creek. Can Won
beat that?"

J. M. Barrie to Write Original Screen
Fantasy for Paramount
An original screen story by J. NJ.
Barrie-a motion picture fantasy by
that Scottish master of charming
and poetic writing-is to be produced
as a Paramount picture in the near
future. After months of argument
and many refusals. Barrie has at
last consented to write his first orig
inal.
This news was brought to the Of
fees of the Famous Plaers- Lasky
Corporation yesterday by Herbert
Brenon. who arrived on the Paris
from England, where he has been
comforting with Barrie about the
Paramount production of "a Kiss for
Cinderella. This picture, with Betty
Bronson, of peter Pan" fame in the
leading role, will be Paramount
Christmas offering to the screen pub
lie this year.
The discussion of whether or not
Barrie would write an original story
ran through the many conferences
that the author and Mr.. Brenon had
about "Cinderella", and it was only
at the last talk that Barrie finally
gave his promise. Just when he will
write it, not even Barrie knows, for
he is one of the few authors who
depends on inspiration for his writ
ing.
