Griffith drama.
j’i In the second half of the South’s
‘ ’’second uprising”—this time
against the carpetbagger regime

I construction days. The romance of
I the “little Confederate Colonel,”
| Ben Cameron, with the Northerner,
j Elsie Stoneman, and that of the
Unionist Captain, Phil Stoneman,
with Margaret Cameron, the South
Carolina lassie, maintains two
threads of continuous loye-jntereft

for showing on Monday
night. Owing to the matinee per
formance of Sousa and his band
Monday, the picture program oil
that day will not start until six

The cinema version ts “A Lacjy
(of Quality” is the result of several
months of effort by Hobard Hen-
Jey," director, aqd an assemblage of
f?ldyers including Milton Sills, Vir
ginia Valli, Egarle Foxe tftid Bert
Roach. '
It is said that the modern palyf
wrights and cinema writes. wers
developing a new form of dramd
■much more intense thrilling
than the older. This is wify par
tially true, in the opinion of Hen
ley, who found-W -‘Bhrnett
story had in it all the elements of
excellent screen drama.
He gives proper credit to three,
master brains of the film-literary
profedtfon arranged the se?
, tli classical story ii
c&nfbAftwrce with photoplay ret-,
quirements. Any novel, for that
matter, undergoes certain changes
either in stage or screen transcrip
tion. The three who” adapted and

were Marion Fairfax; 'Mtirion Ains-i

Viola Dana’s latest picture pro
duction, “The Social Code,” will be
shown at the Rylander next Wed
nesday with a Larry Semon
comely, “Horseshpes.”
The story of “The Social Cod?”
concerns the exciting murder* of a
society clubman and the manner in
which two innocent women are
brought into the case because of
the blackmailing 1 methods of the
dead man. It is an adaptation of
Rita Weiman’s story, “To Whom
It May Concern,” one of ,th.e finest
things this noted author has .«ger
written. rt .,p
Sumptuous settings, showing ,the
homes and clubs of Long Islar>4
society folk, provide an elaborate
background for the thriving story
and it permits the star to wear
numberless fashionable gowns that
are sure to delight the feminine
eye.

SOUSA AND HIS BAND
AT RYLANDER MON 2:30
Great Treat In Store Fcr The
atre-Goers Os This
Community
The long awaited appearance of
Sousa and his band willstake place
at the Rylander on Monday when
this famous aggregation will give
one performance only, at 2:30. It
was with difficulty that the manag
ement of the Rylander was! able to
secure this attraction and no doubt
a capacity audience will greet it
here. All seats are reserved and
have been placed on sale at the box
office; the sale has been brisk and
it is advisable to make reservations
early for choice seats.
No man in the world of music
|ias had so extensively advertised
a’ personality as Lieut.-Commander
John Philip Sousa. He. and l his
music have\ become famous iu every
part of the globe, an’d he has long
since become an American institu
tion. It is no exaggeration to say
that he is known as the greatest
band man in history, qnd his band
is recognized as the leading body
of instrumentalists in the world.
Sousa and his band, numbering
nearly one hunderd, Wave done and
are doing much to promote musical
interests, for they present program
mes containing compositions which
would never bt heard in many lo
calities if the celebrated leader ana
his men did not make it possible.
Sousa’s' band music is different
from other band music because
Sousa’s instrumentation is more
elaborate than that of any other
band, and his resources for produc
ing effects are much more elabor
ate than is usual with either bands
or orchestras. This, together with
the unequalled excellence,-of
individual players, js 1 why
there is so much enthusiasm and
enjoyment at a Sousa concert.
A feature the
Monday will -ife |he o| the
Americus Symphony Orchestra
through several members by Lieut.
Commander Sousa.
