Thompson, the veteran player who already has made three distinct appearances in Triangle plays, will be seen again for one day only, however, Thursday, at the Ar cade, when he is presented by Thomas H. Ince as the star of a heart interest drama from the pen of C. Gardner Sullivan, entitled "The Eye of the Night." In this production Thomp son plays the part of an aged keeper of a lighthouse in a small village Dn the coast of England, and his char acterization is said to be one of the most impressive of its kind ever seen on the screen. "The Eye of the Night" narrates the simple story of a slavey's misdo ing, of her struggle for existence among the narrow-minded bigot3 in the town and of her ultimate dis covery that the old keeper of the light the only mortal who forgives . her sin and receives her into his care is her father. It is made powerful by the pathos of its situations and is agreeably relieved by the intermit tent touches of quaint comedy. One of the valuable assets of the play is the surpassing beauty of its scenes. Among the more vivid scenes of the piece are those which show a fierce aerial attack on the village, the war being an important incident in the plot.

This road would be only two miles long and easily con structed. A numlx-r of people have claimed that should the lake be made so thsy of access, it would spoil the fish irg. Mr. Bingham has different views on the subject. He wants to make it et sy to get to the lake and then put ir ten times as many fish each year as has been planted in the past, and ip this manner the lakes and streams of the county can he made of value, in thnt the tourists will come here for the fishing. Both Magoon and Straw berry Lakes could support a great nirny fish and the state department is glad to furnish them. Both the forest supervisors are en thusiastic boosters for the highway, nnd will do nil in their power to as sist and promote it. Government ni.l should be forthcoming in this mat ter, and it is possible that the forest supervisors may greatly assist the local organizations in getting it. Forest Supervisors Meet.
