Ple> famous wa r drama in six parts,
in which William and Dustin Famum
won their greatest fame on the New
York stage, will be seen at the Mont
gomery Monday, Tuesday and Wed
nesday of this week with an all-star
CAst headed by E. K. Lincoln.
“The Litlest Rebel” has all the up
lifting dramatic powers within its
core that have from time immemorial
built good theaters and heaped poetic
treasures for the stage.
The story of the play concerns little
Virgie Carey, daughter of a Confed
erate scout, who lives near Richmond
and is a wonderful child of the Civil
Mar The rugged heroism, loveliness
and irresistible childish beauty of this
little daughter of the South blossoms
forth in Edward Peple’s mo^t exqui
site style of portrait. She sees her
mother fade and die, she starves and
wins and has mature ideas with ten
dril flashes of thought made grown
up by the shock and sorrows of war.
Lieutenant Colonel Morrison and a
number of his Federal cavalrymen
search the dignified home for the
father, The home is burned and the
child lives in a cabin alone and hun
gry, except for the hunted visits from
her father who provides her with
food occasionally to the best of his
ability. Colonel Morrison and his
horsemen surround the cabin. Vir-.
gie’s father, wounded, is hiding in a
loft, with an order from General Lee
to pass the child and escort her
through the Confederate lines to
Richmond. She, with arch baby talk
and adorable courage, foils the
'Yanks.” but is outwitted by the gen-
tlemanlv colonel, who discovers the
hiding place of the father. Through
the plea of the little girl the colonel,
with exquisite raw sentimentalism
governing the soldier, supplies the
rebel with an additional pass through
the Federal lines.
Later in the day a battle ensues, a
stunnine spectacular, exciting war
scene, where the scout saves the life
of Colonel Morrison. They are both
brought to headquarters as prisoners,
Carey ae a spy. and Morrison as a
traitor, and sentenced to death. The
littlest rebel, as Virgie is called, ap
pear? before the commanding general
and pleads for the lives of both men.
The general becomes Interested and
sympathetic and makes » personal in
vestigation of the case. An act,
splendid, humoTous, tragic, pathetic
and heroic, finishes the story, in
which both men are pardoned.
On Thursday Dustin Farnum will
be seen in a Paramount picture.
"Captain Courtesy.” dealing with the
Mexican occupation of California in
184-0.
•Y'aptain Courtesy” rescues Elean
or. the ward of Father Reinaldo, from
a Mexican who has insulted her, and
immediately a friendship springs up.
Granville has also met Eleanor and
is likewise infatuated. The rivals
have many encounter.* in and about
the mission.
The Mexicans are about to attack
the mission, when Captain Courtesy
rides his horse through the window
and warn the padre of the impending
dapger. Courtesy then rides to get
Kearney’s American troopers. Just
as the ammunition of the defenders
is exhausted, the troopers arrive and
save the day.
Among the many notable scenes in
this play are those in w r hich Mr. Far

frank Montgomery to Open

Frank T. Montgomery, who is in

string of negeihborhood motion pic

following statement regarding his
plans:
“Eleven years ago I opened the first
moving picture theater 1 had ever
seen. In fact, the first one 1 could
learn of anywhere. This was In Fort

first one to be opened in the South

this great industry and have prophe
sied many phases of Its development.

business will improve by leaps and
bounds. I foresaw many years ago
the great possibilities of the making
of features of five reels and longer,
such as are to-day to be seen at the
same price the ordinary single reels
were formerly shown at, and I predict
that in a short time our eyes will be
opened by the manufacturers of ex
pensive feature productions.
"The moving picture maker has

to-day we seldom see pictures that
could have other than a beneficial
effect on the minds of any one. I
consider the masses of people have
been benefited more by the moving

the free schools.
"Years ago I foresaw the possi
