‘‘The Trail of the Lonesome Pine’’ 
Eugene Walter’s dramatization of 
John Fox’s widely read story of the 
same name, is the holiday attraction 
announced for the Boston Theatre. 
It is the latest as well as one of the 
most magnificent productions made 
by Klaw & Erlanger, and since its 
premiere with Charlotte Walker a 
few weeks ago it has. met with tre- 
mendous success, playing to crowded 
houses wherever it has appeared, 
especially in Philadelphia, where the 
production has held the stage at the 
Broad Street Theatre for the past 
five weeks playing to capacity 
audiences nightly. The play shows 
the brilliant dramatist Eugene 
Walter at his best. Of course Mr. 
Fox’s delightful character June has 
been emphasized and those who fol- 
lowed the story of her love for the 
engineer in the book and met with 
her jealous cousin Dave, the rough 
yet sincere and affectionate father, 
Judge Tolliver, the simple and hu- 
morous Uncle Billy Baen, the primi- 
tive Old Hun with her pipe of clay, 
the strong and manly Hale and the 
gentle Berkley will revel in the vis- 
ualization of the stage characters 
and the pictures of the mountain- 
eer’s household, which are all strik- 
ingly impressive by the nobility and 
breadth of their portrayal. Klaw & 
Erlanger have spared neither pains, 
expense nor artistic ability to give 
‘‘The Trail of the Lonesome Pine’’ a 
truly splendid production. It is a 
production that will please the most 
fastidious theatregoer, and Char- 
lotte Walker has lent to the charac-

In Will Irwin’s story of ‘‘The 
American Newspaper’’ appears this 
passage :— 
‘‘Certain experts on education set 
about to investigate what they called 
the civic intelligence of school chil- 
dren, how much they knew about 
the conduct of the larger world 
about them, what attitude they held 
toward it. Springfield, Massachu- 
setts, proved to be the banner city 
for civic intelligence, and the ex- 
perts attributed this result mainly 
to the excellence of THE SPRING- 
FIELD REPUBLICAN, which has 
educated its young readers to a 
taste for matter touching on the 
large and vital facts in the world 
about them.”’ 
The Republican is’ regarded in 
Springfield as a community asset—

first, last and always. Its motto, 
‘©All the news and the truth about
