vealed, toe war might be limited to the
scenes recorded by the camera. Oth
ers hare so insulted intelligence and
pure patriotism with theatrical rub
bish, tacked-on melodrama, clumsy
studio takes and other devices that
many persona aro inclined to believe
the producers guilty ot burlesquelng
the war, were ouch a thing thinkable.
Mr. Grifllth has proved by bis “The
Birth of a Nation" and other master
works that ho is a man who doos
big things in a big way; one who stops
at nothing, howover seemingly insur
mountable, in his honest efforts to
faithfully reproduce a given condition.
Hence toe very fact that Mr. Griffith’s
namo and reputation are back ot
"Hearts of the World" Is an ossur-
Plalns Literary Club.
The Plains Literary club Is one of
the organizations of the community
that has proven interesting and im
proving. It is composed of twenty-
five active members, having been or
ganized III 1913. Since that time it
has grown steadily and has done some
good work. Though its aim is pri
marily literary, during toe war it
took an active part in all patriotio
causes, having Joined toe Womank
Committee of the National Defense
society. There is a social feature to
the club and several times toe club
has given attractive parties and en
tertainments. It meets twice a month
at the homes of its members, and a
literary program is rendered. No re
freshments are permitted at the reg
ular meetings
At the outbreak of toe war plans
were being made to build an at.
tractive club house, but the money
on hand at that time was Invested in
Liberty bonds and War Saving*
Stamps. The members hope to carry
out their plans some time in toe near
future. The club has begun a libra
ry and each year’cholce volumes are
added to the collection ot books.
At toe beginning of each year "Year
Books” are gotten out, containing tha
program and assigning the parts, to
different members.
At present the course of study ia
“The History of France” and "French
Literature,” Victor Hugo's famous
novel, "Les Mtserables” Is to close
tho year’s work.
