TO ADVANCE ON FILMDOM

GRAVALOUS HANSSON TO ENTER FILMDOM’S BEWILDERING DAZZLE. Three days ago a gentleman stepped into the Makeever hotel, picked up one of the regular small town scratchy pens and proceeded to enroll himself on the register as one of Warden Stockton’s inmates under the name of M. H. Livingston, Chicago. This task out of the way, the stranger purchased a cigar, sank it between his teeth and eased himself into one of the typical hotel chairs, apparently at ease with the whole wide world. Then followed three days of solid entertainment for the traveling public, for the stranger proved himself to be one of the best amateur magicians that ever stepped off a Monon train in this city. But his actions aroused the suspicions of a skeptical small town public, for never once did he turn his thoughts toward work, something not easily understood in these days of frenzied finance, and the patrons of the hotel began to wonder who the young plutocrat was that he could so idle his time away. Just why he. should choose to leave the glare of the city’s lights to entertain some rural strangers was beyond their powers of comprehension. But the debonair Mr. Livipgston continued in his mysterious way. Not until late Tuesday afternoon was the perplexing problem solved, and it came about when Mr. Livingston picked up his hand bag and wended his way to the Princess theatre. Introducing himself to the management, he explained that he had been in the city for several days studying character in the hopes of securing an acceptable screen candidate for his firm, the Universal Film company, of Holywood, Cal. Briefly he stated that he had arrived at the object of his quest and requested that the Princess management aid him in his work. A moment later he produced a card__containing the name of Gravelous Hansson, local boy, and asked Mr. Robertson to get in touch with the young man at once, as his time was limited. Mr. Hansson soon appeared --a the scene and was informed by Mr. Livingston that he had selected him as possessing the requirements ->r screen service and that he would like to book him for a tryout in his company in the very near future at their Chicago studio. The news came as a pleasant shock ot Mr. Hansson, who announced that he would gladly accept the offer. Thus was the object of Mr. Livingstons visit disclosed and the minds of the citizenry relieved. Mr Livingston’s decision, as he explained, in selecting Mr. Hansson was based on the latter’s superlative features, his splendid physique, his poise and adaptability for the screen. He further stated that Mr. Hansson was one of thfe most promising objects it had ever been his pleasure to discover, • , , , r Mr. Livingston nas had eleven years’ experience in the moving picture game and is well versed in its every phase, having served, camera man W the present time he is doubling as a picture salesman and seeker of screen talent. It has been his pleasure to produce several screen stars during the time he has been on the

road, he stated. । Mr. Hansson expects to leave within a few days for Chicago for his initial tryout, and, provided he meets with the approval of a baleful critic, will go to Hollywood, Cal., to start his screen career. I Mr. Hansson’s many friends in this city have felt for some time that he should enter the moving j picture field and are elated that the , opportunity has come to him to prove his Witty? ’They and waiting for the-time when the lights will majestically flicker forth the name of Gravalous Hansson amid Broadway’s awful roar.

DELIGHTFULLY ENTERTAIN.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Foltz were hosts at a most pleasant 6:30 o’clock dinner at their home on Grace street Tuesday evening. After the elegant dinner had been served, the evening was spent at the four corners of the round card tables in which the expert bridge players engaged m a battle royal. . Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Hammond, Judge and Mrs. C. W. Hanley, Col. and MrS. George H. Healey, Mr. and Mrs. Delos Thompson, Mr. and Mrs- sHarry Kresler, Attorney and Mrs. E. P.

BERT RHOADES MAKING GOOD AS TELEPHONE MANAGER.

; The Republican is in receipt of the Harvey (Hl.) Tribune, which contains a write-up of Bert Rhoades, of Blue Island, 111., who is the district manager of the Harvey Telephone company. Bert was one of the stars of the old Rensselaer football team, playing at the quarterback position, and apparently he is making just as good in his present field as he did as a football player. The write-up follows: “The public utilities commission has approved the sale of the Interstate Independent Telephone company properties to the Chicago Telephone company. The purchase covers all the property and lines of the former company in twenty-two towns including Joliet, Cret, Beecher, Monee and Peotone. “By the new arrangement of the Chicago Telephone company, Crete, Beecher, Monee and Peotone exchanges will become a part of the Harvey district, adding about 1,120 telephones to the district. “Harvey district now also includes Bluje Island, Chicago Heights, Homewood, South Holland, Tinley Park, Steger, Hazel Crest, Orland, Palos Park, Phoenix, Thornton and Worth. “District Manager A/ C. Rhoades has quite a territory ujider his supervision and the adding of a few more towns doesn’t seem to ruffle his feathers in the least. . / “The adding of the Interstate exchanges to the district, will, of course, add to the construction and line repair crews operating out of Harvey.”

DIES AT HER HOME NEAR BROOKSTON.

Leßoy Florence, who Jives six miles northeast of Brookston, came to Rensselaei* this Wednesday morning to make arrangements for the burial of his daughter, Mary, in Weston cemetery. Mary Florence was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leßoy Florence, who for many years were residents of this county. She was born March 23, 1887, and flied at her home Tuesday, November 18, of uremic poisoning. Her Illness was very brief and she was confined to her bed but a day or such a matter. It is .planned to hold the funeral at the late home in White county at 10:00 a. m. Saturday and to make interment Saturday afternoon between 1 and 2 o’clock in Weston cemetery in this city. This arrangement may 'be changed on account of the expected arrival of an aunt, Mrs. James Brusnahan, of Spokane, Wash. Word received from Samuel English, an uncle of the deceased, -was to the effect that it would be impossible for him to attend the funeral.

BUCK, DOE AND FAWN FALL BEFORE TRUSTY GUNS.

Roth Bros, and J. J. Eigelsbach have received trophies from the colony of hunters who left here about two weeks ago to hunt in northern Michigan. Roth Bros, have received a nice large buck, weighing approximately 180 pounds, which was killed, by John Marlatt. The deer will be prepared for the table and distributed among some of Mr. Marl aft’s friends. Mr. Eigelsbach has received a doe and a fawn which -were killed by Cleve Eger and Frenchy Deschand. The hunters, according to reports, are greatly elated over their success and expect to bag one or two more deer before the season closes. To date no encouraging word has been received from S. P. Hilliard and others who are also in the upper peninsula, and, as their time is getting short, it is feared that they are doomed to failure so far as any deer meat is concerned.

W. R. C. DONATES FLAG TO CIRCUIT COURT.

A large, beautiful American flag now adorns the walls of the west court room of the court house, the gift of the Womens Relief Corps of this city.

W Crooks, I and the following resolution was i read: i “In the matter of the presenta- ; tion of the American flag to use | in the circuit court of Jasper eoun- । ty, Indiana: “Come now the members of the Women’s Relief Corps of the city of Rensselaer, Indiana, and present to the circuit court of Jasper county, Indiana, a United States flag, declaring in presentation that it is the desire of their order that the court - use such flag as a decoration for the court house and that it be placed consistent with respect due to the colors. “It is further ordered and directed that the flag be used in all naturalization proceedings held and had in the court, as requested by the patriotic order, the donor herein. And further that in such proceedings held and had in the court the symbolic meaning of this gift shall be explained and taught to whomsoever shall seek citizenship in the court. “It is further ordered and directed that the sheriff of Jasper county, Indiana, be charged with proper care and custody of the flag.” A state law provides that all — court rooms be supplied with a flag and that candidates for naturalization take the oath of allegiance beneath it.
