D. Thomas Curtin to Speak at Chautauqua. •The Great Peril of Europe* Subject ef Maeterly Discueeion of Quee- tione of Moment. D. Thomas Curtin, noted American Journalist and author of a number of important books, who has Just re turned from a newspaper assignment Investigating questions of great mo ment In Europe, will be heard at the coming Redpath Chautauqua in his challenging, up-to-the-minute lecture, “The Great Peril of Europe.” Mr. Curtin’s most recent trip to Eu rope, the second within a year’s time, was made for the express purpose of studying the trend of present-day ac- r*- mS y.-\ m “The Hunchback” Gaming to Casino D. THOMAS CURTIN Unties in Great Britain and on the continent The message which he will bring to Chautauqua audiences is that of a trained reporter who has become thoroughly familiar with conditions in stricken Europe during the past decade. A graduate of Harvard university, Mr. Curtin became special war corre spondent for a syndicate of American newspapers; also correspondent for the Times and the Dally Mall, both of London, in which capacity he served until the death of Lord Northdlffe, their owner, in 1922. Thla great news paper publisher declared Mr. Curtin to be one of the greatest of all war correspondents. As correspondent, he saw fighting on eighteen battle fronts during the Great War. The management of the Casino theatre is to be highly complimented on its enterprise in bringing to Clin ton at this time “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” the screen verson of Victor Hugo’s great masterpiece. This picture is said to be the greatest motion ^picture ever produced in many ways. In the first place it coat more than any picture ever made before and took almost two years to make it. There are 3,090 actors in it all in costume; and Lon Chaney is said to have created a characterization as “the Hunchback” which is by far the greatest thing ever done before on either the stage or screen. Clinton is fortunate to get this big picture at a time when it is still play ing its first runs in the big cities of this country and England. “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” is a story dealing with early France, a period in French history that was known as the most turbulent in all the history of that country. This jaas.. during, tha -zaign-uf. Louis, the latter being a cruel, crafty states man who kept his subjects under a spell of terror. There were many outbreaks and finally an armed up rising that almost resulted in the destruction of the great cathedral. The cathedral is saved by the quick work of the hunchback bell ringer. There is a very pretty love story that runs through the picture in which the principles are Esmeralda, a beautiful girl who has been kid napped in her youth and'brought up by gypsies; Phoebus, captain of the King’s guards and Jehan, the cruel half brother of the bishop who stays in the cathedral. Esmeralda is por trayed by Patsy Ruth Miller, one of the most beautiful of the • newer screen stars; Norman Kerry plays Phoebus in excellent style. One of the finest casts ever as sembled is seen in this picture. Be sides Patsy Ruth Miller, Norman Kerry and Lon Chaney, there are Ernest Torrence, star in “The Cov ered Wagon,” Nigel de Brullier, THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, SOOTH CAROLINA -===a • > ' ... .< -r'. . .
