But it was also the token of a great, love, the messenger of death, the harbinger of lasting happiness. It is arourjd this dazyjing gar ment worn by a vivid dancer in Havana in the days of Spanish op pression against Cuba, that the plot of the highly dramatic and roman tic photoplay, “Te Bright Shawl, is woven. Richard Barthelmess and Dorothy- Gish are co-starred in this produc tion which plays at the Rylander Theatre on Monday and Tuesday, it being the first the big pictures which have been .booked bv that theatre. Dying from H knife wound, La < lave], the dancer, gives the shawl to Charles A.bbott, young American, as a final, ‘rememberance of her af fection s Id turn, the blood-stained ghrm.itiit is found by La Pilar, fe l m ‘-ic spy, and its brilliance helps to lure a young Cuban patriot to his deatU. She kills him and throws the bright shawl over his body. The American after losing consciousness in a duel, awakens aboard ship to find the woman he and—the bright shawl. Os the many characters created by “Our Dick” it is difficult to con ceive of any more suitable to his talents than that of Charles Abbott in “The bright Shawl.” .Other attractions to be present ed b" the Rylander during the week are Gloria Swanson in “My Ameri can Wife,” Marian Davies in “Adam and Eva.” Charlie Chaplin in “The Cure” and Dustin Farnum in “The Buster.’ FIREMEN AT WAYCROSS IMPROVNG IDLE TIME WAYCROSS, May 26.—1 n the meantime, in between time, when fires are not calling the department out on the runs, three members of the force are putting in good time at a hobby that bids fair to be both profitable as well as amusing. Fire men G. M. Smith, E. H. Aldrich and W. F. Douglas have constructed a wardrobe in the shop back of the station that bids fair to rival any manufactured product intended for like purpose. With Beaver board and cypress wood as their chief materials and with a carpeter’s outfit, they have carefully cut, hammered, sawed and put together the parts of a ward robe cabinet that is excellent both, in design and workmanship, accord ing to all who have seen it. MRS VAIL DIES. WAYCROSS, May 26.—Mrs. Ma tilda W. Veal, 41 years of age, the the wife of Mr. E. C. Vail, former ly in the employ of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, died suddenly at the home about 6 miles from Waycross.

HOLT SCORING AGAIN For the second time within a short period, Jack Holt, Paramount star, appears In an adaptation of a pop ular Peter B. Kayne story,—“Mak ing a Man,” which will be seen at the Opera House next Monday and Tuesday. Recently he was the star of “While Sleeps,” in which he scored a knockout success. “Making a Man” is the story of a wealthy young snob, a tyrant among his employes and neighbors alike, who put one straw too many on the camel’s back, so to speak. His life threatened, he escapes to New York. There he loses the little money and clothing he took in his hurried flight, and finds himself unable to draw on his credit. Broke, hungry and tired, he meets on a park bench, “Shorty” McCabe, a down-and-outer. From Shorty the man Winsby, played by Mr. Holt, learns the definition of a real man. Os course, there is a girl in the story, this role being done by EVa Novak. Others in the cast in clude Bert Woodruff, Frank Nelson, Robert Dudley, J. P. Lockney and Kalla Pasha. BANKER POINTS WAY TOWARD PROSPERITY ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 26. —Maintenance of “this splendid prosperity of 1923 indefinitely” by means of better economic team work to avoid violent ups and downs in business, was declared to be pos sible by J. H. Fuelicher, president of the American Bankers Associa tion, in an address here today on “The New Spirit in Business,” be fore the convention of the Pennsyl vania Bankers Association. At the some time he warned that lack of co-ordination of effort in respect to the general interest would lead to an unbalanced business situation. “It is an unnecessarily fatalistic attitude toward business to assume that a period of prosperity must in evitably give way to severe depres-. sion,” Mr. Puelicher declared. “We are i nthe midst of sound prosper ity. We have in our own hands the means to maintain a strong, pros perous course of business activity indefinitely. To make prosperity permanent is the paramount duty of American bankers, business men and working men. They can do it with better economic teamwork. They cannot do it othewise. “Better self-control and better team-work in business will so modi fy the human factor among the con trolling forces that produce business ups and downs that the extremes of over-done booms and disheartening depressions will be avoided.” GEOLOGICAL STATION GOING TO ATLANTA ATLANTA, May 26—Likelihood of opening in Atlanta a sub-station of the U.

Nick P. Corish, who secured the young outfielder’s signature, states that Rees is asked to report some time this month but that he will probably be allowed an extension of time if necessary. Rees himself would say nothing of the big league offer. He was recom mended this spring by Pat LaMotte, City League umpire, to Connie Mack who secured the services of Mr. Cor ish in passing on the recruit and sign ing him up.
