LITTLE THEATER-"Chained,"

Exceptionally fine acting Is evil

which the Little Theater is offering
this week as it's feature. Claude
Zoret, portrayed by Benjamin
Christensen is an Interpretation far
above the ordinary, and it artisticaliy
depicts the fidelity of the master
painter to his errant protege. The
story is woven around the love OF a
woman that interposes its power
between the devotion of the wizard OF
the canvas for the poor boy he had
hefriended and the lads attachment
to him. Particularly telling is the
scene in which Zoret dies. grateful
for the knowledge that a greater love
than his has come about.
The surge of emotions through the
production is an unu. al study in
psychology. The story is credited
with being based on the life OF the
sculptor Rodn.
Humor is given full vent in the
Win Rogers picture. Big Moments

great and near great are kindly
satiriZed. One of the gems in a
worthwhile bin is "Kivalina OF the

Little Theater" is bit of travelogue,
witticisms and localisms. The Little

IMMENSE AMOUNT
FOR RURAL ROADS

Reliable estimates indicate that the
United States will spend more than
$1,0OO,000,000 on the building and
maintenance of rural roads during the
year 1926
This means the disappearance OF
the "rube' from American life You
may be able to find him on the stage,
In vaudeville, In the movies, or be-
tween the pages of alleged humorous
magazines, but not on the farms, says
the Minneapolis Daily Star.
The 'rube" Is q product of isolation
and the spending of $1,000,0OO,OO0 for
the rural roads means an end Of isO-
latiOn. The American farmer from
now on lives on u main travelled high
way.

radio, or listen to the best music and
lectures that America can offer any
one.
His children are seldom more than
20 minutes away from an excellent
high school. There they are being
trained In all the social graces, taught
the fundamental principles OF culture
and living life as broad and beauti-
full as that enjoyed by any OF the city

Is impossible to distinguish between
the youths from the farms and those
from the city.
The cooperative marketing associ-
atoms have taught him the art Of
working with other men. The good
road makes 1t possible for him to at
tend frequent meetings, participate in
the discussions and become a part OF
the busy world of thinking and action
Rural roads put him in easy touch
