heart -Interest In which the scones of
the tendon pathetic typo are frequent
and tho 'happy'' cloao 'ls n satisfying

Zoe Ray appears as "Tho Cricket"
In the' beginning. Rena, Rogers plays
the same role In later years, and
when sho mitrrlos, Zoo Rae again ap
pears as tho child. Both performers
make the most of their parts.
Tho story opens with "Tho Crick

Pascal, to tako part In a Juvenile

of Savollno, Ceasar and Plnglet, threo

Major J. P. Graham
Writes From France
: (Letter from Major Graham of tho
La Grande Hospital Unit to Mrs. J.
P. Graham.)
Noveihber IS, 1317.
My Dear Wife: '
This Is Sunday morning and as I
listen to the church bells ringing this
makeB mo think of La Grande. Tho
Y. M. C. A. Is putting up a tent nnd
I suppose will hold services soon.
I sent some of tho boys the other
day to help build a platform for tho
piano. The secretary Is from tho
New Enalanw states some where.
For the past week the weather has
been very good, not any rain; foggy
most of the time, and tho sun shines
occasionally.
Am running a hospital now; start
ed November 14. Am getting along
fine nnd things aro moving along just
dandy. The boys are glad to have
something to keep them busy and,
until the newness wearB off, will not
have to do much urging. ' Tho boys
are all well and considering every
thing, aro very well contented.
Tho Division Surgeon is a fine man
and a stickler for discipline, so you
always feel you have sonic bucking.
It gels dark about 4:110 P. M., so
wo havo breakfast at C:45 A. M
dinner at 12:00, and supper at 4:30
P. M. Had a small operation yes
terday: will get all of that wo want
by Spring.
Haven't gained much In weight
but am focling so well and strong
that I eat only two meals a day.
Hail,' my hair clipped f.hort, as I
havon't any use for hair over here.
Go to bed about 7 or 8 and get up
at 6:00.
The people In Franco live on tho
community plan; no hour.es or barns
In the country, but all built together
In towns. The people, chickens, pigs,
sheep, ' horses and catllo all live In
tho Biime house. You wako up In the
morning and find two or three
chickens roosting on your feet. The
boys 'will have some funny tales to
tell when they get home. I have a
good laugh frequently at tho talk
they put through. Franco is in
deed a beautiful country, so green
with grass and vegetation and just
artist friends, who play a prominent
part In tho narrative. The child
makes-a great success nr her first
stngo appearance, but thin is sad
dened by the inimedinte news of her
mother's death.
"Tho Cricket" is then adopted by
the three nrtlsts, who have learned
to love her. All goes well until the
problem of choosing a husband for
her arises. They select the son of a
banker an a man worthy of her hand,
but Pascal, npw an actor, reappeai'H,
and tho girl choooos him. Tho art
ists protest anil the girl In time runs
away and marries Pascal. This leads
to an estrangement of the three
friends but Inter there Is an all
around reconciliation nt tho old
studio. '
This picture will ho shown at the
Star Sunday nnd Monday.
