ARNOLD DALY ASKED FOR
FOOD, BUI FOUND
PATHE PRODUCER WANDERED INTO A SOUTH CAROLINA RAIL
ROAD RESTAURANT AND DISCOVERED NORA MOORE PRESID
ING OVER THE CRULLERS.
^ ",
THE BANNER, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1, 1916.
(Kw York Morning Telegraph.)
Arnold Daly, whose fame is about
equally divided between Broadwaj
“legitimate” productions and Pathe
motion pictures, was traveling tkorgub
the South not long ago and in a cer
tain town of South Carolina stopped
off between trains to get a hasty
lunch in a railroad restaurant. Hi?
eye wandered from pile to pile of
crullers, cakes and pies as he tried to
make up his mind on which partic
ular dainty he should take a chance.
Thus engaged in this engrossing
hunt for edibles he failed to notice at
first the girl who, with hands folded
upon snow-white apron waited pa
tiently for his order. His decision
made, he turned to her and then at
once forgot wliat he had Liken so
long to decide; upon. The girl before
him was surely a waitress extraordi
nary; oval face with the llush of
youth and health; brown hair comb
ed with Quaker like simplicity, yet
somehow looking better than if it
had been worked over by a fashion
able hair-dresser; blue eyes that look
ed at him modestly and yet unafraid.
"I beg your pardon,” said Mr. Daly,
“but where did you come from?” The
girl blushed and answered in a busi
ness-like way: "Order, suh?”
While Mr. Daly punished his stom
ach with the usual small town rail
road Station lunch counter delica
cies, he questioned the lady of the
apron. He asked her if she would
like to work in pictures and told her
if she would he would give her a
chance. The girl refused to commit
herself. “You'll have to ask my
mother, suh,” was her reply.
Mr. Daly decided to miss his train
and see her mother. He did. He
called at the address given him by
the girl and talked things over with
the kindly old lady living in the
weather-beaten house not fax away.
He found that like so many Southern
families the two had seen better days.
The father, once a leading lawyer c f
neighboring town, had died poor.
The grandfather was an officer in the
Confederate army, and was killed in
the Wilderness. The onetime large
estates had vanished, and now the
girl was supporting her mother hi'
working in a railroad restaurant.
Mr. Daly made an offer that caus
ed the old lady to gasp with surprise.
When the girl returned from work
that evening it was talked over and
decided that such a golden oppor
tunity could not he neglected. So
two days later Nora Moore and her
mother took their soft Southern ac-

Historical Sins of Omission and Com

At the Savannah Convention last
year you will remember that the
wrongs of history were stressed, and
a hope expressed that the omissions
in history would be taken care of in
future years.
Your (historian realizes, however,
that more textbooks of American his-
cent and few belongings to Neiw York, i tory are being written today than evei
That was two months ago. Now before, and that it behooves us of the
Mr. Daly wagers his judgment as a j South to demand that the historical
producing manager that he has made j sins of omission shall be noted now,
a “find.” "That girl is going to be
great.” he says. “I tried her out with
a big part the very first thing, that of
Lady Dardinilis in Seitz’s play, ‘The
Ring's Game,” which I m putting on
for Pathe, and she has more than
made good. I'm going to use her
right along. She’ll make a name for
nerself one of these days!”
It's a far cry from Southern pies
to Pathe pictures and from Carolina
crullers to Broadway, but Nora
Moore has made the jump and earns
twice as much in a week now as she
once did in a month. She is only 19,
but her native good sense and good
upbringing will keep success from
spoiling her. In the meantime the
sleepy Southern town has suffered a
distinct loss and Broadway has
gained.

A CHARMING DINNER GO
Wm. Pruette, and a group of beauties in “When Dreams Come True” the
musical play that will be shown at the Colonial, Thursday, Jan. 6th.
“I tell you, being a chorus girl isn’t
what the ticket-buyiug public thinks,”
said a member of the “When Dreams
Come True” company, which will be
seen here next Thursday evening,
“I guess I know something ajbout
being a chorus girl after six years in
stuffy dressing rooms with all kinds
of girls, dissatisfaction and queer lan
guages. But we never mix with tne
girls unless we want to and like them
especially well. One can take dread
ful chances chumming with chorus
neighbors.
“Like most girls, I was stage struck,
and my one desire was to become an
actress. My father declared he would
never hear of my going on the 3tage
in any capacity. After bis death, 1
coaxed mother into lettmg me join
Sam Bernard’s company. One of the
girls was taken sick or was dis
charged and I appliei for the position
and got it. I had just two days to
rehearse before I went on, and oh,
what a couple of days. .
"You know when a new girl goes
into a chorus, all the other girls-de
clare they will show her a thing or
two, and hate her before she ever
show3 her scared face in the unwel
come atmosphere, at least, that is
what happened to ms.
“The steps that seem trivial from
the front and that look so easy, are
so full of aches and pains that the au-
d'ence can’t half appreciate the per
sistency and endurance they call for.
Every time I learn a new step, or
start dancing and rehearsing l get
so stiff, I have to swallow tears. Keep
ing eternally at it, is the only thing
that drives the aches away. They
pay chorus girls better than they used
to, but no matter what they get they
spend it alL Some of them complain
of being spoken to, and stared at, and
all that sort of thing, but as a mat
ter of fact it’s their clothes that
causes it. If a girl dresses quietly
she can pass practically unnoticed,
no matter where she is.
“The reason chorus girls live up to
the last cent, is usually Decause their
lives make them like the bright
as well as the sins of commission. Es
pecially is this important as it is
earnestly hoped that the chairman of
the Textbook Committee, with sub
committees in every state, will ex
amine all textbooks, not only of Am
erican history, but American litera
ture, as well as the geographies and
readers for primary and academio
grades used in our Southern schools;
and, also inquire into texts used in
the colleges in the North to which
our Southern girls and boys are being
sent. This is not with the expects-
tion, or hope even, of having all of
these textbooks changed, but simply
to publicly note the injustices there
In contained, as many teachers using
these books are not themselves con
scious that they are unjust, and some
one must tell them about it
Supremacy over France.—I have
been a student of history and litera
ture for many years, yet I must con
fess that it came to me as a real
surprise, while in London a few years
ago, to learn that a Southern man is
due the English supremancy over the
French in North America today.
Horace Walpole said: “A volley
fired at Great Meadows in 1754 by a
young American Trom the backwoods
of Virginia set the whole world on
fire. Not only England and France
were affected by it, but every country
In Europe was touched, and it settled
forever the supremacy of the English
over the French on America’s soil.”
William Makepeace Thackeray even
went further than this. He said: “It
(s strange that in a savage forest a
young Virginian officer should fire a
shot and wake up a war which was to
last sixty years and cost France all
[ of her American colonies, and sever
all of ours from us, and create a great
; Western Republic,” and later added
; that “George Washington was the
i most conspicuous character in Ameri
can history.”
Samuel White, another English
writer, said: “In the wilds of Amer
ica was raised a hero that eclipsed
the glory of the Alexanders of Greece,
the Ceasars of Rome, and the Hamp-
dens of Britain.”
Bradley, in his “Fight with France
for North America,” published by Con
stable & Co., London, gives a full ac
count of this event in history and
the results which followed the battle
of Great Meadows.
Governor Dinwiddie, of Virginia, in
1754 learned that the French were en
croaching upon Virginia’s territory

and they woud rather spend all they ' along the Ohio River. He sent George

Blad Cold Quickly Broken Up.
Mrs. Martha Wilcox, Gowanda, N.
Y., writes: “I first used Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy about eight
years ago. At that time I had a hard
cold and coughed most of'the time,
it proved to be just what I needed.
It broke up the cold in a few days,
and the cough entirely disappeared.
I have told many of my friends of the
good I received through using this
medicine, and all who have used it
■speak of it in the highest terms.”

to demand that the French withdraw
their forces. They refused, and Wash
ington was sent to force them. He
surprised them at Great Meadows,
killed their leader, Jumonville, and
captured all of his men. Upon Jumon-
ville’s body were found important pa
pers which caused England and
France to take definite action.
This battle of Great Meadows was
In reality only a skirmish, but see the
results. Fort Duquesne fell, Niagara
and Ticonderoga were taken, the
Acadians were driven from Nova
Scotia, Lake George was cleared.
Crown Point strengthened, Montcalm
defeated at Quebec, Montreal fell, and
the Peace of Paris signed in 1763.
What did the English gain? Canada,
Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island, the
islands in the SL Lawrence, the river
and harbor of Mobile, all disputed ter
ritory between the Alleghanies and
the Mississippi, and free navigation
of the Mississippi River—and that
volley was fired by our George Wash
ington of Virginia.
I certainly call this one of the his
torical sins of omission. Why? Be
cause our American historians give
this credit to an Englshman, Wolfe, at
the Heights of Abraham.
Parkman says, “The victory of
Abraham began the history of the
United States.
Of all American histories that I
have examined, Woodrow Wilson in
his ’’History of the American People,”
is the only one who gives the credit
to George Washington, and Mr. Wil
son, too, must have gone to English
sources.
It was another Virginian, Thomas
Jefferson, who secured the Louisiana
Purchase from the French. What was
gained by that transaction? All the
territory from the Gulf of Mexico on
the south, and the Mississippi River
on the east, to the Rocky Mountains
on the west. The “Father of Waters”
was left to flow unhindered to the
sea.
Just here is an opportunity to pay
tribute where tribute is due. It was a
Northern man, not a Southern man,
Robert R. Livingston, of New York,
with James Monroe, of Virginia, who
manipulated this Louisiana Purchase
with Talleyrand in France, and made
it possible for Thomas Jefferson to
complete it.
Supremacy over Spain.—Still anoth
er historical sin of omission that must
not be overlooked. How did we gain
supremacy over Spain in North Am
erica if not through Southern states
men? The first permanent! settle
ments were of course by the Span
iards; the second were by the French,
and the third by the English. There
fore to Spain belongs the credit of
the oldest city in the United States,
St. Augustine in Florida, the oldest
church in Pensacola, Florida, and the
oldest house in the United States in
Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The Spaniards in Florida became
very troublesome to the Carolinas and
to Georgia in Colonial days. Finally,
in 1742, and that was much earlier
than the Battle of Great Meadows,
they determined to take possesion of
the land on the eastern shore from
the boundary of Florida on the south
to the St. Lawrence River on the
north, from sea to sea, which included
all land claimed by the thirteen
colonies. Their plan was to conquer
colony by colony, and this would not
have been difficult, and the colonists
knew it, for they were weak in mili
tary strength, and also weakened con
stantly by repeated attacks from the
Indians. So with fifty-six vessels well-
armed and well-provisioned, and 5,000
well-equipped men the Spaniards
started out with a feeling of absolute
victory. The “Baby Colony,” Georgia,
was nearest and weakest. The first
attack was at Frederica on St. Si
mon’s Island.
Oglethorpe had only two poorly
armed and provisioned ships, but he
had 682 brave Georgians and they
taught the Spaniards a lesson that
day at Bloody Marsh which they never
forgot. These Georgians trailed in
the dust the Spanish flag for the first
time on America’s soil, and never
again did Spain trouble the colonies
along the eastern shores. To James
Oglethorpe, Noble Jones, and two
brave Scotch Highlanders, Sutherland
and Mackay, is due the credit of this
victory. Bloody Marsh is one of the
decisive battles of modern history, for
it unquestionably turned back the tide
of Spanish invasion and gave the An
glo-Saxon race supremacy in North
America. With what result? The Uni
ted. States of America—for, but for
that victory there would possibly have
been no colonies tt> declare their in
dependence. Yet we find that battle
but slightly noticed outside of the
local history of the state.
Then the Treaty at Coleraine In
1796, secured through Governor James
Jackson of Georgia, all of the terri
tory now included in Alabama and
Mississippi, from Spanish rule. Think
what Alabama and Mississippi means
to us!
The Mexican Cession by Nicholas
Trist of Virginia in 1848, and the
Gadsden Purchase by James Gadsden
of South Carolina in 1853 included
more land than was in the Louisiana
Purchase. It extended from the
Rockies to the Golden Gate and open
ed up all of the Pacific Coast We
who are here this evening truly re
joice that it is not a part of Mexico to
day.
Then Oregon was added to the Uni
ted States under a Southern Presi
dent, James K. Polk. What was se
cured? A tract of-land 300,000 square
free or not free. They knew they
could not stand a cold climate. The
truth is they had caught the vision
that materialized in the Monroe Doc
trine that unless Americans should
secure America for Americans only,
they would be like Europe is today
made up of small monarchies and re
publics of all sorts of nationalities.
' Northern statesmen did not see any
commercial advantage in taking care
of such “wastes of land.” Daniel Web
ster, -.he greatest of their statesmen,
we may add one of the greatest of all
statesmen, thought it/ unwise. He
said: “What do we want with this
vast worthless area, this region of
savages and wild beasts, of deserts, of
whirling sands and whirlwinds of
dust, of cactus and praire dogs? To
what use could we ever hope to put
these great deserts, or thOBe endless
mountain ranges, impenetrable and
covered to their very base with etem
al snow? What can we ever do with
the Western coast of 8,000 miles, rock-
bound cheerless, uninviting, and not
a harbor on it? Mr. President, I will
never vote one cent from the pub
lic treasury to place the Pacific one
inch nearer to Boston than it now is.”
Was it not Jefferson Davis of Mis
sissippi, to whom we are indebted for
the first suggestion of the trans-con
tinental railroad? How could we have
been here this evening but for that!
Again, what does that cross mean
that stands yonder in the Golden Gate
Park, hut that an English explorer
came over as early as 1579 and laid
first claim to this land.
And did not John C. Calhoun, as
Secretary of State under President
Polk, plan to have the Republic of
Texas taken from Spanish rule and
placed under the protection of the
United States? Think what Texas
means to us today?
Would not Florida, our “Land of
Flowers,” be possibly under Spanish
rule today had not James Monroe, at
the psychological moment, arranged
to have it bought by the United
States? Nearly 59,000 square miles
secured at 13 cents per acre because
Ferdinand VII. was in financial
straits.
And was it not through Lewis and
Clark, two Southern explorers, that
the Yellowstone was discovered and
the B ble introduced to the Indians
in the West?
Was it not Andrew Johnson of
North Carolina, who secured Alaska
from Russia? However, justice here
must be done, for It was a Northern
man who urged it, William H. Se
ward. Alaska is now destined to be
one of the greatest assets of the Uni
ted States, yet many Northern states
men opposed its purchase, and said,
“It is a country fit only for a polar
bear g:arden.”
These omissions must enter history,
and we of the South are the ones to
see to it.
