Their trip northward has been made by easy stages with night stops at convenient camping places. Their trip will cover a period of two weeks. At Moosup, the Aldrich Manufacturing company is making a quick recovery from the bad efforts of a prolonged strike, declared off about two weeks ago. The mill is now running along smoothly, and with plenty of business at hand to assure steady employment for those who work there until another epring rolls around. Some of the fami- lies that moved out of town are ex- peoted back again, in, view of their ap- plications for work, and in a short time an affair that ‘®aused serious losses to the workers and_ to the company, will be but a thing of memory. In ‘a quite period of e year, when everything moves peacefully along in this territory, nothing seems of such interest to the local gublic at the pre- sent time as the question of a supply of coal for household use during the coming winter. A sage commented Tuesday, however, on the flact, that Danielson is in a cord wood producing territory and that there is no real need for worry' hereabouts. And here is a prediction—no one with any means at all will suffer from the cold for lack of fuel this fall. Miss Doris Paimer and Cecil Palmer, of Sangerville, Me., are guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Andrews of Riverview. Mrs. George Stone and daughter, Miss Gertrude Stone, were visitors at Blook Island Tuesday.

OLD AND MODERN DANCES. ANNOUNCEMENTS Two Fifle Features at the Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Will Rogers has another tramp role. Everyone knows with what fidelity, hu- mor and human-ness he depicts the American hobo and will want to see him as the tramp in “An Unwilling Hero,” his latest Goldwyn photoplay, which comes to the Strand theatre for three days, beginning Thursday. 1 this film_Rogers is first, last and always a real, honest specimen of the American tramp, his aversion to work equalled only by his aversion to being forced to remain in any one locality more than a few days at a time. Richard Talmadge, in his latest thrillo- dramatic farce-comedy, ‘“Watch Him Step,” which will be shown at the Strand theatre Thursday introduces some new methods of shortening our allotted span of life. This is the second fea- ture. To dance around on an eight-inch ledge at the top of a ten-story building can hardly be considered healthy, but to complain that the ledge is entirely too wide and too safe—that is making an advance engagement with the undertak- er. And to be thrown bodily off of a porch some fifteen feet high by four young huskies to the cement walk below might be the quickest, but by far not the safest, means of exit from a house. Or to dive headfirst over a high hedge onto the pavement might cause soften- ing of the brain. . But Dick does all these things and more, too, in his latest thriller. A Selznick News is also included on this well balanced programme. ' ————a Norma Plays Dual Role and Has Twe Leading Men at Strand Next Week. Norma Talmadge plays a dual role and has two leading men in her distine- tive screep adaptation of “Smilin’ Through,” which will be the First Na- tional attraction.at_the' Strand theatre next week. The leading men are Wyngham Stand- ing and Harrison Ford, who also plays a dual role. Norma is’ first seen as Monyeen, who is Xkilled" by a rejected suitor on her wedding day, then as Kathleen, niece of Monyeen, whose romance is threatened as the result of the earlier tragedy. Wyndham’ Standing plays the role of John Carteret, who lost his bride at the alter and adopted the fair Kathleen. Harrison Ford portrays the dual role of Jeremiah Wayne, slayer of Monyeen, and of Kenneth Wayne, who is made to suffer for -his father's crime, | Lots of men would never ‘be recog- Strand .
