LITTLE STAR A GIGANTIC HIT. Scores in Owing to the disagreeable weather and also to the fact that it followed so closely upon the heels of the band concert, the old time fiddlers' contest at the Central opera house last Fri­ day evening did not prove the big success that had been hoped for. There were only a few to enter the contest and the entertainment did not come up to expectations. Superintendent Pufahl, of the Bor­ den Milk company, has called our at­ tention to the fact that the company has placed a strict ban on hunting on its property, especially upon the mill pond. The company ig desirous of protecting the wild water fowl that visit this section thruout the season and therefore give warning that no shooting will be allowed in the future. W e are told that a few of the boys of this village have been in the habit of shooting at game on the pond, both in and out of season, and to these a* special warning is given. Those from out of town who at­ tended the funeral of Rollif, Waite here Tuesday were: and Mrs. J. J. Vasey and daughter, Florence, of Oak Park; Glenn G. Waite of West Pullman; Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Waite artd Norman Earl Waite of Lake Gen­ eva, Wis.; Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Howard Players Ann Pennington, the celebrated lit­ tle Broadway star, makes her motion picture debut in the Famous Players production, "Susie Snowflake," which is the Paramount attraction at the Central this (Thursday) evening. Known all over the country as dancer and comedienne, Miss Pennington has been wisely starred in a photoplay which is a story of musical comedy life, thus giving her the greatest op­ portunity to display her f^r-famed talent on the screen. The PendletoYi family consists of three girls and their sedate father. Martha is the eldest, Phoebe the next and Susan the youngest. The digni­ fied family lives in the Quaker-like village of Crescent, where everything is peace and quiet. Little Susie, un­ like her sisters, is inclined to be merry and cannot bear the atmosphere of the town. She is attracted to a young actor who is playing in the village, and finally consents to elope with him. The family is shocked at Susie's act, #nd her father's death is the re­ sult of her folly. As the years go on Susie is the only child left by the former village girl. Her eighteen years in the en­ vironment of the stage caused her to accept it as her only means of liveli­ hood. She is a marvelous "hit" as a dancer, but the show fails. Her two spinster aunts in Crescent are pur- suaded to send for her. Her arrival at the village railway station attracts only the attention of, young Dave Ellory, who passes by in his rig. Noticing Susan Weeping, he alights and approaches her. She tells him her story* and he takes her to the home of her aunts, where she is given a cold reception. The two women teach school in order to maintain their comfortable home; also to pay Squire Larkin for his financial aid. Their father had hidden a large sum of money behind the picture of Susie's mother and lie had neglected to tell them of its whereabouts. Since .his deatn the door of the room has been locked and no one permitted to enter. When Susie is capable of instruct­ ing she helps her aunts considerably, but they require a great amount of money, so when young Roy Larkin, the son of their creditor, proposes marriage to Susie her aunts try to induce her to accept him, even tho they cannot bear the sight of him. About this time the long-heralded church ^benefit is held and Susie is requested to render a dance. Hav­ ing no conception of the narrow-mind­ edness of the village folks, she dons her ballet costume. The dance shocks the audience and poor little Susie i? saved from disgrace only by the ap­ pearance of her lover, Dave. Susie, longing to gaze on the face of her mother, enters the forbidden room and discovers the money hid­ den by her grandfather^ Her mar­ riage to Roy is avoided and they, are free from debt at last. Little Susie is restored to her for­ mer good standing in the village when, at the risk of her own health, she nurses the daughter of a woman of influence back to health. Dave, proud of his sweetheart, asks for her hand, and soon after they aret mar­ ried*- ...
