Moore and little daughter, Edith, are spending 'The Man of the Forest" At People Theatre tV mil u;ich in hnt nut far a! while the everyday facts of life, and tread a golden path of adven tureutterly forgetting the world and its cares in the thrills, the romance, the pathos, the hu mor and the breath of wide spaces and strange lands from a Zane Grey wonder-book, in a magnifi cent photoplay by Benjamin B. Hampton? Then drop in at the Peoples theatre, and see "The Man of the Forest," the newest Hodkinson release, which will be shown there on Thursday Jan. 12. 1922. The "Man of the Forest" is the latest photoplay of a Zane Grey novel, and it brings to life on the screen one of the author's latest and best-selling books. It is an other powerful Benjamin B. Ilampton-Zane Grey combina tions of the past, "The U. P. Trail," "Riders of the Dawn" and "Desert Gold," which Hod kinson gave the theatre patrons of the world. A powerful cast of the screen's best artists is seen not only in the principal roles, but in every role, no matter how small, so that each of the author's story characters gets the benefit of a splendid in terpretation. Carl Gantvoort has the title role, "Milt Dale," Claire Adams, Robert McKim, Jean Hersholt, and Eugenia Gilbert also have wonderful roles, while Fredrick Starr, Charlotte Pierce, Frank Hayes, Harry Lorraineand Charles Murphy contribute great work in the most important sec ondary characterizations. In the naming the cast of "The Man of the Forest," one must not forget three other actors of much importance, though not famous by their individual names. One is a large mountain lion. Another is a grizzly bear, and the third is a big dog. Each one has its acting part, the lion best of all, perhaps, for, like the others, it is the pet of Milt Dale, and it is seen doing such things as leaping from the roof of a house upon the "Snake Anson" of the story. It occupies a bunk in Dale's cabin, and with Las Vegas (Frank Hayes), who is afraid of his friend's pet, it fig ures in some splendid comedy scenes. "The Man of the Forest" is a clean, wholesome drama of modern outdoor life. It is thrills and suspense from beginning to end, with some startling situa tions that are fresh to the screen. Pathos and humor, red-blooded thrills, and tender love scenes succeed one another and blend into the whole, making this big special photoplay one of the fin est adventure documents the screen has -ever offered. Mr. Hampton was assisted in the production of "The Man of the Forest" by William H. Clifford, Howard Hickman, Eliot Howe, and E. Richard Schayer; Joseph Durbray and F. H. Sturg is, photographers; H. W. Libbert and Robert Odell, technical ar tists. The splendid subtitle paintings are from the brush of the celebrated artist, Ferdinand Pinney Earle.

Township Vital Statistics 1921 Figures compiled by Mr. W. S. Hancock, Registrar of Vital Statistics, show a net gain of births over deaths in Roanoke RaDids Township of 278 during the year 1921. Births for the Township were 377 while the deaths were only 99. This is low death as well as a very high birth rate. The birth rate is approximately 54 to the 1000 population which is higher than the average for North Carolina and North Carolina itself has the highest birth rate in the United States. Race suicide has evidently obtained little hold in this community.
