CZAR PAUL WAS MODEST TYRANT Historical Fact That He Was A Tyrant Shown in Film at Grand Next Week. Czar Paul I, of Russia—the world’s most modest man! Judged by his orders when he ap- peared in the public streets, Paul might deserve this title, for every man, woman and child was driven from the thorgughfares by armed soldiers be- | fore the carriage or sleigh of the mon- arch made its appearance. Death was the penalty to those who dared even to peep from the windows when the Little Father went by. Ma an innocent baby straying beyond its mother’s call, was shot or speared by the savage Cossack bodyguards of the Czar. The dreadful brutality of life under this tyrant is hown with dramatic re- alism in Emil Jannings’ latest starring picture, “The Patriot,” which was di- rected by Ernest Lubitsch; and comes to the Grand theatre on Monday and Tuesday evenings of next week. With Jannins himself playing the role of the Czar, supported by such players as Florence Vidor, Louis Stone Tullio Carminati, Vera Voranina and many others, “The Patriot’ brings to the screen a story of such power and dramatic sweep that critics have hail- ed it as an historic cameo of more than ordinary significance. In fidelity to detail, accuracy and characteriza- tion, it might well be preserved for fu- ture generations to study as a means for arriving at a thorough understand- ing of an interesting period in Russian History. “The Patriot” was adapted to the screen by Hans Kraly from the play by Alfred Neuman which recently pro-! ved a sensation in European theatres o 2 —Nicholas Weaver of Cresson frac-/and in New York. tured his right shoulder Thursday ev- ening when he fell on an icy pave- ment.

Eynon, regis- trar of motor vehicles, Pennsylvania department of highways, - announced this week. The Pittsburgh bureau of police has assured the department of its co-operation and instructions will be issued to Pittsburgh patrolmen to check and report Ohio cars observed daily on their beats. Investigations in the past year have demonstrated that a large number of Pennsylvania residents have secured automobile registration plates in Ohio and are operating their cars in Penn- sylvania throughout the year, taking advantage of the reciprocity agreement between Pennsylvania and Ohio. A majority of these Pennsylvania resi- dents have taken out Ohio licenses be- cause of the lower rates prevalent in Ohio and a few of them have taken Ohio plates because their Pennsylvania operating privileges were revoked. In either case they will be vigorously prosecuted. The Pennsylvania owner RECENT DEATHS IN THE COUNTY Folks In the Neighboring Com- munities Who Have Cross. ed the Great Divide. Miss Margaret Thomas.
