This afternoon large crowd at tended the world premiere of "Das- nee" motion picture of life on the island of Bali filmed there by Andre Roosevelt and Armand Denis. and givs cn for the benefit of the Nurses Home Fund. The entire proceeds will go to the Fund as Mir. Roosevelt and Mir. Denis have donated the film and James Mahoney, manager of the Bradley Theatre. donated the Theatre. The management of the affair and the sale of tickets have been under the direes ton of Mrs. W. T. Peekham Of Thompson. The following review Of the film was written after a previcw.
 Distinctive. Simple Picture
 In "Dasnee" Mir. Roosevelt and Mr Denis have created a distinctive moving picture of great beauty ] Free of the squawking and imper ] feet talking machine, 'Dasnee' tell a native story that Is in no way orig inal and which Is made eNtremeb impressive through the simplicity anf sincerity of the acting There IS prince of high degree and a peasau of loW degree. There Is a maid q low degree and the eeneomitant tri angle. l. is story older than th' old Testament. But with the bael ground O. beautiful Bali and witt nat ye actors who lend Co it the las veritv of sincerity, the story become new and novel and impressively real
 Into the story, aside from manl incidents of beautiful photography the makers of the picture have m trodueed many interesting features of native life. One sees how thi Balinese eat. sleep. work, man theii chips. worship their gods, love. re ioieo and grieve. Throughout therl is the continuity of the simple story At no point Is this just another moVies but it is record of native life as 1t exists utterly untouched by fha vulgar zing influence of Western civilization Lest the average movie fan fear that the film lacks action. We can assure him to the contrary EN= eepting in that excellent film of some scasons ago, "Tolaole DaVld,' we de not remember fight scene as thrill ling and exciting as that which oe CUTS m "Dasnce' between the Prince and the Peasant boy.
 Rare Taste Displayed
 Rare taste was displayed in choos ing the various actors for the roles ] If at times they seem some~ha amatenrish. they are never self-eon scious and never, what is more mn portant, camera conscience. The display themselves as race of grea physical beauty and of rare am intense and sensitive intelligence. ] for no other reason, as Bali becaus more and more influenced by Euro pean civilization MT. Roosevelt an' Mir. Denis will be gratefully remem bered for having made a pictoria record of a native life that is beau i tiful in it's dignity and simplicity
 "Dasnee" was rare treat to Windham County residents and no only those who are actively interest ed in the Nurses Home Fund shoul' be grateful, but all of those who ha' the pleasure of seeing the film pre- sented.

This was all explained to Ras Ia fari. It meant nothing at all to him. Here, overnight, he found the coun- try with a new president and a new premier. Yet there had been no fighting, no bloodshed. His friends, Milierand and Poincare, who had greeted him on his arrival were no longer in control of the country.
 The Ras could understand this; but he couldn't understand why they should step out without fighting for their jobs. Then he made his pro- phetic remark: What good is an army to a. ruler of a state unless 1t can fight for him"
 In the kindest manner, his French hosts attempted to explain It. But the Ras shook his head. No battles. mo- body killed, not even a shot fired. With all that magnificent army, that strong navy, and that excellent air service. Millerand and Poincare had quit cold

 While it was apparent that there was little in the visit which inspired the Ras to enthusiasm with the possible exception of new military weapons-he was always polite and lavish in his acknowledgment of favors rendered him.

 You'll like ALL-BRAN. Ready to-eat with milk or cream-fruits or honey added. Physicians recom- mend it. And We guarantee it to relieve both temporary and recur- ring constipation. Two tablespoon fuls daily - with every meal, in recurring cases.
