David Wark Griffith was, to say the
least, not stingy of talent when he
cast the players for his new Paro-
mount-Artcraft production, “Scarlet
Days,” which is coming to the Calla

The central figure, Alvarez, the
chivalrous bandit, is played by Rich

CONFERENCE.
Bainbridge has cause to be proud of
her citizens “from o’er the seas,”
there being among them a most pro
gressive element reflecting the best
in quality of the old country that
contributes to the sturdiness of their
new and adopted land.
Notable among these is George Mit
chell, the genial proprietor of the
Park Cafe, in the Bon Air block, on
the north side of the square. George
moved to Bainbridge five years ago
from Jacksonville. He immediately
opened the Park Cafe, a very beau
"tiful restaurant, and due to his cour
tesy and willingness to serve, he has
built up a prosperous business. He
carries a card of sanitation issued by
the health authorities showing a
splendidly kept eating house.
In love with his home town, as he
correctly calls Bainbridge, George in
vests every cent he makes locally. His
principal real estate investments are
residences on West and Crawford
streets. He, with his American wife
and three children, reside at the Craw
ford street home.
Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell are very in
dustrious and number their friends
here by the score. Emulating the ex
ample of other good citizens, he is a
generous contributor to the band and
is a member of the Board of Trade.
He offers his services and restaurant
to these and other civic organizations
and invites the Board of Trade to
make use of his facilities at any time.
Such spirit is commendable and wor
