KIWANIANS BACK
OF PLAYGROUND
Movement Enthusiastic
ally Endorsed At
Luncheon of Club
The playground movement in
Americus was heartily endorsed by
the Kiwanis Club at its regularly
weekly luncheon at the Windsor Ho
tel Friday, a resolution expressing
endorsement and assuring the back
ers of the movement that every mem
ber is behind it having been unani
mously passed. No subscriptions
were asked or taken because of the
new club rule against all solicitation
•within the club as an organization.
The matter of teachers' salaries
was discussed at some length and a
committee composed of Dr. Wilbur
Smith, G. C. Webb and Hollis Fort
was appointed by President Ellis to
report a recommendation to the club
at the next meeting.
An invitation from T. M. Furlow,
county chairman of the coming Salva
tion Army drive, for the club to at
tend a luncheon at the Salvation
Army home next Thursday to hear
of the campaign, was accepted, and
the club members will meet at the
Windsor at 12:45 o’clock on that day
and go to the Salvation Army home
in a body.
Secretary Evan Mathis reported
that word had been received from
District Governor Wessels, of the
Kiwanis Club, stating that he could
be in Americus for the charter pre
sentation ceremony in the week of
May 24.

Johnson has let it be known that he
will no longer serve the Baptist

church here just one year, and dur

regret that the Ellaville Baptist
church accepted his resignation.

TRUE DEMOCRACY IN
VICTOR HUGO CLASSIC.
“Les Miserables,’’ Victor Hugo’s
masterpiece, a screen version of
which William Fox presents at the
Opera House next Tuesday and Wed
nesday, May 11 and 12, has been call
ed by leading literary lights of ihe
world, “The Gospel of tne Poor.” It
holds out, for that reason, a particu
larly strong appeal to the people of
America, who have conceded the
equality of poor and rich.
Victor Hugo’s genius sensed the
advent of a real democracy all over
the world and made one of civiliza
tion’s underdogs the hero of his sub
lime work of fiction. Jean Valjean,
whose physical and spiritual courage
surges through the story like a mighty
cataract, was driven to theft by the
iron rod of poverty. In prison and in
his life after liberation he learned to
understand the submerged millions.
When a turn of fortune’s wheel
raised him to a position of power
and affluence his boundless sym
pathy found ceaseless expression.
William Farnum impersonates this
hero and scores a complete triumph
in the characterization.
"THE MYSTERY OF
THE YELLOW ROOM.”
One of the most fascinating detec
tive stories ever put upon the cinema
screen is “The Mystery of the Yellow
Room,” an Emil Chautard production
based upon the novel by Gaston Le
roux, to be seen at the Opera House
next Friday, May 14.
The mystery in the story of this
Realart picture takes place almost
before the eyes of the auditors. The
daughter of Prof. Stangerson shrieks
for help at midnight, and, when the
door to her room is opened, the crim
inal cannot be found and the manner
of his impossible escape cannot be
understood. The basis is genuinely

confusing. In the process of ascer
taining the identity of the criminal,
a second crime, robbery, is discover
ed and a murder committee, until
finally the newspaper reporter, at
variance with the theories of a fa
mous detective, brings the culprit to
justice.
Some fine photographic work has
been done in this film which is a
Realart picture. William S. Walcott
as the professor, Ethel Gray Terry
as his daughter, Edmund Elton as her
fiance, George Cowl as the detective
and Lorin Raker as the newspaper
sleuth, are the principal players in
the film. The balance of the large
company, including many well -known
players, is capable.
