The Trail to Yesterday,” in
troduces Bert Lytell to motion
to‘“motion picture patrons as a
Metro star. The production, a
scBeen version of a successful
novel, has been chosen especially
with a *view to providing the
best possible medium for Mr.
Lytell’s ta^«ent3 and personality.
The role of ‘ ‘Dakota, ’ ’ the cow
boy, calls for a, display of the
athletic poweiw in which Mr. Ly
tell excels, and also for strong
dramatic action. The Grand

the irjiteresting scenes shown in
connection with “The Trail to

falsely accused of crime, the

THE CONFFDERJTTE REUNIOR
Dundarrach, N C., AuJP 27th,
Mr. Editor:—As the Confeder
ate veterans’ reunion will be on
the 7th day of September at
this place, and it has been Cus
tomary on occasions^f this kind
to have "a public dion^ we wish
through your colundne to say
that thu Food Administration
has said that we cannot have
public dinners any niwe, but all
can bring » v -
ano invite whom they wish to
dine with the^. We want all to
conie. and don’t forget .Jibe bas
ket. There 'Can be a separate ta
ble set for the veterans and that
is all.
We do not know just who the
principal speaker will be, but
' ' ' M
iK^y to come and faeah it.
We are also informed that in
the afternoon speeches will be
made by prominent Woodmen
of the World, and perhaps some
one of the Farmers’ Union will
have something to say, all of
which will make good entertain
ment, for the day.
And now as the veterans are
getting to be only a few, we
hope that alLwho possibly can
will be sure to come, as, in the
course of human event, it will
drily be but a short while when,
there will be no veterans to take
part in these reunions, but we
hope to be ready “When The
Roil Is Called Up Yonder.”
