DICKEN'S STORY TOLD ON SCREEN
It is a long leap from the pages of Booth Tarkington's "Seventeen" to Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations," but Louise Huff and Jack Pickford are nothing if not versatile.

"Great Expectations," which was directed by Robert G. Vignola, is the Paramount Picture at the Murrette theatre next Wednesday and Thursday.

Dr. Zimmerman Invited Dr. Zimmerman, whose home is in the Second ward and who had been invited to be present on that account, pointed to the importance of registration, slating that every woman ought to register and cast a vote so she could have a voice in adjusting civic affairs if they didn't suit her. Dr. Zimmerman further stated that out of 600 families canvassed for another purpose 500 held women who stated they would vote. Several Women Speak Several women of the Second ward spoke briefly including Mrs. Clara Graves, Miss Carolyn Salter and Mrs. Margaret Fltzgibbons. "I am glad I am going to get to vote," said Mrs. Fltzgibbons. "I have always had a burning desire to vote the Democratic ticket and now I have the opportunity." John White, councilman from the Second ward, made a short speech in which he said while he thought the municipal light plant was a good thing, he didn't like the way it was bought. "They went into the board of works room and locked the doors," said Mr. White, "and then came out and said it was done." Oscar Williams, J. V. Schneider and J. J. Evans, candidates for council, and J. J. .Burns, candidate for city clerk, were present and made short talks.
