He credits his inspiration for the story of Less Than the Dust," to'a poem of the same name written bv Iurence Hope. As developed and elaborated the play tells the story cfa little English castaway who is living in India practically an outcast and regarded by the natives as actually less than the dust which they stir up as they walk. In her conception of the heroine Miss Pickford takes full advantage of the opportunities offered for the display of the wnole run of emotions from tear-compelling characterization to the well-known abilitv of the little star for extracting mean and wholesome fun from the situations provided by the author. Less Than the Dust contains many really big scenes, many of which are furnished by an uprising of lie natives against England.

A full noou in the east lit up the countryside with mellow beams on the horizon, white the flash of the guns made a continuous play like that of the northern lights in the Dominion, or distant sheet lightning. This was sharp-ly broken now and again by a column of reddish yellow (lames, where on the ridge high explosives were bursting.

From the craters which had been or along the scarred front and which resembled the openings made in marrying operations, the distance to top of the ridge ranged from 1200 yards to a little short of a mile.

Within half an hour after the first German S.O.S." rocket-had been sent up, calling for barrage fire from the Teutou artillery and indicating a surprise attack, our objective was attained, with slight loss. The tanks which accompanied our advancing infantry up to the ridge had little to do, but were seen in action later near the crest of Vimy, on the extreme north of the line, at a point east of Souchcz, where much fierce fighting took place in 1915 when thousands of men fell. The enemy put up a still fight at 1 15, which had been provided skill fully with cunrraled machine gun positions.
