Show TIE MAN WUHAN TRY AI THE PRINCESS We are glad to call attention to our readers to the announcement that the people of Bingham will have en opportunity oppor-tunity of seeing on the screen at the Paramount Princess Theatre Friday of next week the wonderful picture, "The Man Without a Country." j This is one of the most thrilling, gripping stories ever written. The ! hero of the story was a lieutenant In the United States army at the time i Aaron Burr was indicted on a charge of treason. Uurr was tried and acquitted ac-quitted before the Federal court nt j Richmond, but in his supposed plots i against the United States he had a number of accomplices. Among them ! was a young, high-spirited lieutenant, ; who felt that he was not given a square deal, and to the Judge he said, j'Mtem the United States. I wish that ; I might never see or hear of the United Unit-ed .States again." The judge decided that he should have his wish and he ordered the man placed aboard a shl:i, carried from the shore and gaurded I so that he could never see or hear of any mention made of the country that he claimed for his own. I This was in 1807 and the lieutenant lived aboard first one ship and then ; another until 1863 without ever seeing : or hearing any one speak of the Unit-1 Unit-1 ed States. No newspaper or book was he allowed to read until all mention of this country was taken away. He made many friends while Imprisoned on the high seas, who made efforts from time to time to secure his release, re-lease, bat the Washington authorities I ignored all petitions on the ground j that they knew of no such man. The picture has never been presented present-ed In Bingham and when it Is shown at the I'rincess next week it will doubtless prove more of a thriller than "The Itirth of a Nation" or "The Kyes of the World." It has that in it which will appeal to all people. No one should allow the attraction to come and go without seeing it. It teaches a great lesson and thrills old and young alike. |
