Mavis Hawn, a Kentucky mountain girl, decides that books, not bullets, are essential to her life’s success. So thinking, she mounts the family donkey and sets out for the Lowland school, to find the strang est thing she has even seen—a rail road train, which she thinks is a threshing machine. But this is only one of many inci dents, humorous, pathetic, appeal ing. which go to make up “The Heart o’ the Hills,” Mary Piekford’s third big production from her own studios, of which her mother is business man ager. The same beloved Mary, with her smiles and tears, her loves and bates, her whims and winning ways, in an entirely new characterization. You will fall in love all over again with her, in this story of her loyalty to "Pap” in the feudist battles of the Kentucky mountains. She can shoot —and s^he shoots to kill. She can tide—and she heads the famous Ken tucky night riders in their wild chase over the mountains. Mary Pickford, the greatest ac tress, in the strongest sory of a noted author, John Fox, Jr., is the big attraction at the Empress to night. A picture in which Mary’s own quaint humor and comedy break the dramatic tenseness of the tale— a picture with a big. smashing, sur prising climax that will leave you well satisfied. A News reel, and an extra good Harold Lloyd comedy complete this attractive program.

MAKE EFFORT TO SAVE SHIP STORM STRUCK EUREKA, Cal., March 3 (by Asso ciated Press).—Attempts are to be renewed next month to save from a sandy grave the wreck of the steamer Corona, a former Pacific Steamship Co. vessel, which a storm hurled over a jetty here fourteen years ago. The wreck lies about 1,500 feet from the water, the shore line having receded, since the boat came ashore. Last year about half the hull was uncovered when a sudden winter storm swept the sand back, burying the vessel, and undid in a week an expensive task of several months. Frank Johnson, contractor, who bought the vessel two years ago for $5,000, financed last season’s unsuc cessful work. This year he intends to bulkhead the wreck in from the encroaching sands, and pump the sand from outside and inside the hull at the same time. There is a shipment of steel rails and other goods of unperishable na ture in the hold, according to John son. He said recently that he has a standing offer for the engine and boilers which will net him a profit. Hope has also been expressed that possible the hull, made of Norway iron, may be dragged back to the shoreline and launched. NORTH CAROLINA TOWN OF THOUSAND PEOPLE OWN PUBLIC UTILITIES RALEIGH, N.
