"Hie Passion Play Coming
Impressive ante revere-ntidl un its
spirit and deputing with rare dra
matic effect hrcrfients in the MWe of
Christ the screen reproduction'off the
Passion Play as seffered at Freiberg,
Germany, will 'be presented vtt the
Reliance Theatre on Thursday and
Friday afternoons and evenings of
next week, under the auspicies of
'the’.Womans Bible Class of the Jef
ferson Methodist Sunday 4hol.
Therewvill be six performances, three
.■each dkiy, one at S o’clock in the af

o’clock jn the evening. The funds de
rived (from the picture will ’be used
-to furnish the Sunday school room of
ttlie Womans Bible Class.
For nearly two hours the story otf
'flhe life 't>f Christ is revealed and an
©xthrallmg climax comes with the
crucifixion and resurrection which
me vividly portrayed by the actors
in the leading roles. Two brothers,
Adolph and George Eassnacht play
the parts of Christus and Judas lsca
rieft respectively and their work is
the outstanding feature of the pic
ture as far as the acting is concerned.
The production is a massive we,
many of the -scenes being remarkable
for the precision in which they are
acted and for the marvellous manner
in whveh large numbers of people are
brought. The play was directed by
Dimitri Buchowitzki and some of the
settings and effects are among the
most remarkable ever seen in any of
the recent stupendous productions.
A magnificient musical program,
suitable to the picture, is being ar
ranged by Mrs. J. S. Ayers. There
will be several vocal solos and quar
tettes.
YOU WANT TO ATTEND THE
SENIOR PLAY
This play will delight you. “The
Touchdown” is a royalty play, full of
pep, and something happening all the
time. There is not a dull moment.
There is a deal of good talent behind
this paly. The plot is well worked
out, interesting and entertaining.
The admission will be 20c and 35c, as
at former Senior plays.
Months ago it was unanimously
agreed by the class to donate the
proceeds of the Senior play to dis
charging the indebtedness against
the play ground equipment, the class
to be memorialized by a marble slab
attesting the donation. The slab
will be set in place on Friday. This
is in pursuance of the example of
last year's class. This fine custom
has become very popular throughout
the country.
We hope to see a packed house.
With the five hundred seats occupied,
every cent of debt will be canceled,
and Jefferson can boast by far the
best and most extensive play ground
equipment outside the largest cities,
to be found in Georgia.

BUSINESS HOUSES TO
GIVE HALT HOLI
DAYS TD.EMLPOYEES
Jefferson merchants have joined
in an agreement to close their stores
every Thursday at 12 ntPdlock, noon„
during the summer months, and also
to close each afternoon, except Sat
urdays, ;*dt 6.30. This action was
taken to give the derks, who are
necessarily compeHerf to dtay shut
in, an opportunity to have a half
holiday each week, sad an hour or
two in the afternoons, for pleasure
and recreation, or far woilc along
other lines. The shoppers, and especi
ally those who are in the habit of
making their purchases on Thursday
afternoons, or after 6.30 on other
afternoons, are requested to keep in
mind the dosing hours. Jefferson
merchants are accommodating, and
appreciate thdr customers, and want
to serve those who are in need of
merchandise, but they have entered
into an agreement with each other,
and they can not honorably break
this covenant.
The giving of a half holiday each
week by business houses has long
been a custom in the large cities, and
last summer a large percent of the
towns in Georgia adopted the same
plan. This action of the Jefferson
merchants is gracious and benignant,
and will be beneficial to their em
ployee# and to themselves.
