GEO. 6EBAN IN “AN ALIEN" AT THE MIN THEATRE “An Alien” it an amplified version of the remarkably suc cessful playlet, “The Sign of the Rose,” which for five years served Mr. George Beban as a starring vehicle both in this country and aboard. In order to fittingly celebrate an expected inheritance from his late father, Phil Griswold, a worthless young route, persuades his friend Robbins to steal from his employer, a fashionable florist, the funds necessary to make the revelry even greater. To his chagrin Phil learns the next day that he has been cut off with one dollar, and thus the two young men are placed in a position from which they rea lize it will be difficult to extri cate themselves. On a visit to the home of his brother, William Griswold, Phil notices his niece’s fear of an Italian ditchdigger, who has come bringing a Christmas tree. He determines to kidnap Doro thy, and manages to direct sus picion towards Pietro (Mr. Beban). Searching the Italian quarter tor the Alien in his automobile, William runs over Pietro’s little daughter Rosina and kills her. Pietro wanders to the flower shop at which Robbins is em ployed, and entering to buy a rose tor the little girls grave he is seized by detectives, who think him the writer of the mys terious note which told their client to know the kidnapper by the Sign of the Rose. Motion Picture News says: “The culmination is a happy one from an artistist standpoint, since it is so vividly portrayed by Mr. Beban and his associate players. The photoplay is a marvel of character delineation ceautiful with gorgeous settings, and strenghtened by perfectly logical continuity and views of New York’s Latin quarter. At tention to detail is apparent in every scene of the nine reels, and the production as a whole is a work or art.” At the Callahan Theatre Friday night. Curtain promptly at 8 o’clock. All seats reserved. $1.00 PER YEAR Dothan Takes Two Out of Three From Bainbridge Valdosta Gomes Today to Donate Three Games to The Locals The Dothan team* arrived in Bainbridge Monday and the week thus far has been full of exciting base ball. The game Monday afternoon the boys played an 8 inning tie game and it was called on account of the rain. On Tues day afternoon a very exciting and splendid game was won by the Alabama bunch by a score of 1 to 0. Wednesday afternoon a double header was staged and the first game went to Banbridge by a score of 16 to 12. Every pitcher from both sides of the Chattahoochee was driven from the firing line and a regular old fashioned game of town ball re sulted. Plenty of hitting and running and about 42 hits made in the game. The second game was a splendid exhibition of baseball and was won by Dothan 3 to 2. The breaks of luck have been so varied that it is hard to get a line on the work of the individual players and while the interest has been high the fans were very hopeful of copping one more of those games from Dothan. The attendance has been fairly good and the folks still having great faith in their team coming out on top. The work of Cordell Wednesday afternoon has been favorably commented on. PITMAN TAKES TWO EDGE The series of game played bo- tween Bainbridge and Quitman resulted in the locals losing two games and winning one.

EBASTUS DUNCAN GAINEY Bom of noble Christian parent age; reared in a home, the very atmosphere of which breathed the words—comfort, happiness and joy, was called to the Home Beyond Wednesday morning May 17t.h, about eight oclock. Mr. Gainey had spoken recent ly of the symptoms of the trouble that removed him from our midst, but no one thought his condition so serious, not even those who knew and loved him best for he went about among them, uncomplaining, jovial and in his kindhearted way. Those who were drawn to him by the extreme friendliness of his nature never found him miss ing when he was needed. He was called away so sud denly that we can not realize yet (hat he will never again fill his accustomed place in the home as husband and father and in the world as friend and neigh bor. So soon the awfulness of the situation will dawn upon us— then God alone will be able to fathom the depth of our loneli ness and know the heartaches that prevail. Mr. Gainey had been for many years a member of the Metho dist church. At the time of his death he was fifty seven years of age. His remains were placed be sides those of his parents in the Greenshade cemetery, near Fowlstown Thursday afternoon. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, symbols of the sweetness and purity that characterizes true friendship. Those of the immediate family who feel so keenly the loss of their loved one are the wife, three daughters, Mesdames Flowers, Smith and Sims; three sons, Eraatus, DeLoy and Leon; two sisters, Mrs. Powell of Or lando, Fla., and Mrs. Donalson, of Fowlstown. God comforts these in their sorrow and a host of friends breathe for them a prayer of sympathy. No preaching at our church Sunday morning nor at night in view of the commencement ser vices in the morning and in view of the fact that Dr. Morgan will preach at night at the Presby terian church. I sincerely hope that all of my people will hear both of these oSnr* 0n8 the distinguished visitor to our city. M. A. Morgan. Mrs. G. S.
