‘The River's End’ Will Be Fea
tured in Atlanta House
. Next Week,
Marshall Neilan will make his de
but as an independent producer néxt
week, when his first offering, ‘“The
Rivers’ HEnd,” adapted from the
book by James Oliver Curwood, is
ghown for the first time at the Cri.
terion Theater,
In selecting ‘“The River's End,”
Mr. Neilan has obtained one of the
great successes of the book world.
Critics have declared this novel Mr.
Curwood’s best achievement. Two
monthg after the book came out its
sale exceeded by 650,000 copies the
total sale of any previous Curwood
work.
Mr. Curwood's story tells of the
Royal Mounted Police, a tale of ad-
A venture and romance amidst the
great Northwest. Unlike many oth
er writers, Mr. Curwood lives the
life he tells about. All his time is
spent close to the heart of nature,
where he has an opportunity to
study the characters he portrays sp
$ well. ““The River's End” is thus
considered to be the most genuine
piece of fiction told by one thorough
ly acquainted with the atmosphere
of the theme, and in a manner pos
sible only by Mr. Curwood.
In portraying the story on the
screen, Mr. Neilan has clésely fol
lowed ‘the book. An indication of
his success in thus picturizing the
story was had last Monday night at
< the Biltmore, when the picture had
its premiere before a thousand mem
bers of the Canadian Club and was
accorded one of the most enthusias
tic ovations ever given a photoplay.
Although one of the youngest di
rectors of motion pictures, Marshall
Neilan is one of the foremost. Born
in California in 1891 and educated in
the public schools of Los Angeles, he
was not yet twenty years old when h
joined a San Francisco stock com
pany as “extra man.” He soon drift
ed into pictures and played leads for
such companies as Kalem, Universal,
Selig, American and Famous Play
ers. As a leading man for Mary
Pickford, Marguerite Clark, Blanche
Sweet and other famous stars he at
tracted considerable attention. |
As a director some of Mr. Neilan's
” most famous productions are “In 014
\ Kentucky,” “Daddy Long Legs,” with
Mary Pickford; *““The Unpardonable
* Bin,” “Mice and Men,” “The Silent
Partner,” “The Country Boy” and
other famous screen successes. |
In discussing ‘“The River's End,”
Mr. Neilan said: \
“In Mr. Curwood’s story of the}
Canadian Northwest I had a wonder
ful opportunity for a motion picture
achievement. After reading the book
1 could readily understand why it is
one of the biggest selling stories ot
the day.
“My attention was first attracted
to the story when I read the won
derful book reviews and particularly
when I read various predictions by
these reviewers that this novel would
make an ideal film subject. I found
keen competition in bidding for the
story, in that practically every film
producer had the same idea in mind.
When I succeeded in closing for the
motion picture rights I considered
myself extremely fortunate, and if
four months of time,' the combined
efforts of one of the best producing
organizations in filmdom, the use of
every modern facility for motion pic
ture taking and the best work of an
exceptional company of players are
indicative of good results, this film
should prove a universal success.

Michigan Pictured
¥ $, 00 ?
As Political Mire
By Newberry Foes
GRANT: RAPIDS, Mich, March 18,
4, Michigan was pictured as a State
crawling with political corruption,
with Senator Newberry and his
eighty-four co-defendants in the
Newberry trial responsible for it,
when Special ‘Assistant Attorney
General Frank C. Dailey finished the
government’s closing address to the
jury today.
Mr. Dailey fairly raged before the
jury, his voice rising at times to a
shriek, as he denounced what he
termed the patriotic cloak of the
Newberry workers covering their ac
tivities in the 1918 senatorial cam
paign, and pictured all the defendants
as wilful conspirators. “Bunk,”
“poppycock” and “dust flung in the
air to obscure the real facts,” were
some of the terms he used.
He deciared the whole issue of the
case was whether Senator Newberry
Jojned with the others to obtain the
" election through expenditure of more
than $3,750, and charged that twenty
five times that amount actually was
spent.
Judge Sessions probably will give
his instructions to the jury Friday
morning. He has already announced
he will rule that if Senator Newberry
actively participated in things which
occasioned the expenditure of more
than $3,750, he caused the money to
be spent. The government considers
this charge alone will have aimost
the same effect as if the court in
structed a verdict of guilty.

Georgia Grain Output
Still Is Far Short
SAVANNAH, Ga., March 18.—"“The
grain production in Georgia is still
far short of the home consumption,
not to mention the demand outsiae
the State, despite enormous increase
in acreage,” said K. B. Seeds of At
lanta, district grain supervisor of the
bureau of markets, United States de
partmentof agriculture, here Tuesday.
Mr. Seeds said Georgia must grow
more grain to feed her stock if she
would realize the most from the new
industry. He said that Georgia's
largest increase has been in the pro
duction of eorn, but that the State
imports from £.000,000 to 10,000,000
