WITH HUlU'ltlBKK
David Wnrk Griffith found tho
filming of "A Komanco of Happy Vnl
loy" a quick and happy task. Slight
ly less than threo weeks wcro vpent
In Its production, less than half tho
tlmo generally roqulrcd for tho prep
aration of a six-reel feature. And
tho story evolved so oas!ly, It socniod
to require almost too little effort,

Mr. Orirrith'fJ brain for many months.
domandliiR presentation, Tho germ
of tho plot enmo to him before ho pro
duccd "Hearts of tho World" and ho
was arranging Its detnlls boforo tho
llrltlsh (lovornment besought him to
undertake tho filming of tho groat
war drama.
Ills knowledge of tho characters
which ho has used In "A Romance of
Happy Valley" Is full and accurate.
Thoy aro tho pcoplo who Inhabit tho
valley In tho hill region along tho
Ohio Hlvcr, whero drowsy keepers
collect fares at tho toll gates In tho
highways; and roasting cars and
watermelons favor tho dining tnhlo
In tho hot midsummer das.
Among thcBo pcoplo Mr drlffltli
used to ramblo as a boy, knowing
tholr cares and sharing their ploan
urcs, Tholr narrow, but wholesome
outlook on life, tho closeness of the
family clrcjeo, their rolnl'ons with the
church and tholr neighborly activi
ties aro familiar to him, and ho hat
presented them with vivid fidelity In
tho scones.
Tho TlmbcrlakcR and tho Logout
stilt llvo thcro ns ho knew them ol
yoro under different names, of courso,
and varied conditions. Hut with lila
romarknblo Insight Into tho esseno
of life, ho has grasped tho spirit of
tholr lives and transferred It to tho
screen, Just as ho graspod tho spirit
of Franco and Aimed It In "Hcnrts of
tho World."
In nil tho length of "A llomauco of
Happy Valloy" which will bo shown
at Drcnmlaud August 3 and 4, not
ono exaggeration Is revealed. Every
Incident Is nuch as has occurred In
Happy Valleys all over tho country.
It Is about their Uttlo worries and
groator troubles, their frank, homely
goodnoxri, their Ideals and their
strivings and tholr love.
Near thu closo Mr. Griffith bus pro
Houtod n climax of IrrcHlstlbta sur
prise and breathless erfect, a daring
complication that only such artistry
us ho brings to tho film would per
mit. There nro many smiles and
many laughs In "Happy Valloy," n
fow tcurri and much good whnlosomo
sentiment, material for a regular
Urlfflth picture; and "A ltomanca of
Happy Valloy" promises to bo a p'c
tura that will bo loved as ono docs a
beautiful Htory about ono'n friends.
FOLLOWED PATHS OF PEACE
AborlQlnes of Texts Unlike the Fierce
Tribes of Other 8ectlons of
the Country.
Stone Implements found In ancient
workshops In Texas, antedating
French, Spanish or American settlers,
prove that the original tuition of this
Mato were not like thu fierce tribes
encountered In modern times by tho
white settlers.
Little Is known about the aboriginal
population of Teius, which lies be
tween tho Pueblo and mound builders'
area, but Dr. J. Wultcr Kewkes, chluf
of tho American bureau of ethnology,
aided by Professor Peace of tho Un.
verslty of Twins, have located some
long-forCOttcn Villain site. Thole In.
vcstlgatlous lead to the belief that tho
original pcoplo of tho middle part of
the state were hunter, while thoio of
the eastern purl near tho timber belt,
wero followers of agricultural par-
suits and were skilled In the manufuo '
lure of pottery. They resembled the
mound builders. Tho western part of
tho sluto was a more elcvuted and
less arid plateau. Ilero tho people re
sembled the Pueblos of New Mexico.
Some of the tribes are reported to
have been cannibals. In tho openlug
of tho eighteenth century Apache,
Comanches and other suvago tribes
i named ocr Texas, following tho buf
fulo, or raiding across It Into Mexico.
There seems to have been constant
hoitlllty with these Indians, In which
many smaller tribes wero extern))
noted.
Fisherman's Maicot.
A mascot to which dee-sen fisher
men attach great Importance Is n tiny
flat clone or bono found In the enr of
plaice and other fish. Tho wearer of
ono of these stones Is supposed to be
Immune to tho danger of drowning.
It Is easy to find these stones In the
ears of llsh, ulthough they aro on big
ger than n split lentil. 'Anybody who
cares to look for ono and to examine
It will see un Us surface light and dark
rings similar tt those found ou ii

ber of rings tells the age of the fish,
as n new ring uppears each year.

Chinaman Finds Joy In Work.
While nature has been kind to'Chlns
In the gift of natural resources, tbe
nature and quality of her people Jus

can work for 11! hours of the 24 for

Come to See D. W. Griffith's
Sweet As-Honey-Suckle Romance
(A Page From the Book of Life)
D. W. Griffith hns now spun a romances
aromicl home-spun humanity, and ho has
found a classic in its folds a vivid, tense,
humorous story of "tho folks at home" in
our own sunny Southland,
A Romance of Happy Valley" is a
sweet-as-honcysucklc romance of a youth
and maid who lived in the slumbering toll
road region oftho Mississippi Valley.
D. W. Griffith has painted his charac
tors as if in soft pastels. The sweet, trust
ing nature of the girl Lillian Gish he has
showed in delicate shades of iridescent pink.
The boundless ambition of the boy Robert
Ilarron he has touched with fiery red.
The boy's insatiable desire to "make
good," to be a "real man" in TIER eyes,
prompts him to leave home, promising to
come back on the ytiuth day. (Just like a
kid, isn't it?) All that remained to remind
her of him was an old weather-beaten coat
he had put on her scare-crow pole.
The year comes and goes. Another
year. And another and another, until eight
have passed. Then comes the tvpical Grif
fith climax. No! You DON'T know what
it is! You can't even guess, because D. V.
Griffith always gives you something unexpected.
