Today and tomorrow the pictures are

latter picture is reviewed in the leading
motion picture journals as one of the
best films of its size on the market.
The picture-drama is from the pen of
Sir Arthur Wing Pinero and the two

Tlfe Southern Musical Comedy Com

Is meeting with signal success here in
pleasing and entertaining the public.
Every performance so far has been giv

and at night.
Special stress is 'paid to the music at
the Bijou, and Andonegui's Orchestra

“REEL LIFE” AT THE
MODJESKA THEATRE
"False Pride” is the leading number
on today’s program at the Modjeska
theater. This production is interest
ing from the beginning until the end,
the spectators’ attention being gripped
as in a vice front the moment it is
flashed on the screen until last
flicker fades away.
An Edison comedy, entitled "Buster
Brown’s Uncle,” is one of the funny
numbers Everyone is familiar with
the "Browns” way of amusing their
audience. A laugh a second is caused
when this picture is shown.
“When the Roads Part.” an Amer
ican production, is also entrancing both
in interest and beauty.
"Fatty’s Jonah Day,," a Keystone
laugh. Fatty sits reading “Three
Weeks.” A girl whose father happens
to have fallen asleep comes and sits
with him. The jealous lover arrives
on the scene and summons father, and
the side-splitting mixup ensues, in
cluding a few dives off a bridge. In
the finale Fatty and the girl resume
reading their book in quiet.
A Vitagraph production, “The Cave
Dwellers,” completes the hill for to
day. But when the word •’complete”
1b used it is not meant that an "oft’
day has been completed no, by no
means. One of the best days up to
the present time, as far as the pro
gram goes.
Popular prices prevail at the Mod-
Jeska theater. You get more than
value for money spent there. You’re
interested from the time you enter un
til you leave, and with that there'* two
good laughable subject* today.
Better not mi*s the show today. It’s
a treat.

Many Will Go Hunting.
A great many people will take ad
vantage of the fact that tomorrow is
a holiday to go into the fields and
swamps and hunt the elusive game
birds and animals. It is said there are
large numbers of quail and doves,
squirrels, o'possums, rabbits, etc., this
year. The nimrods will he out in force
tomorrow and many a sportsman will
he heard to command his favorit
pointer dog, "Steady, there.” Then
comes the flush, the sound of repeating
shot guns exploding, and the call of
the’ huntsman to his faithful dog,
Dead bird.” It will be a great time
with the huntsman.
AT THE STRAND
The emotional little actress. Mary
J K'kford—a favoi'ite with Augusta ns—is
being shown on the screen today at The
Strand in the leading part in the "Bish
op’s Carriage.” It is a splendid picture—
blit any picture in which Mary Pickford
plays is splendid.
Tomorrow The Strand will present
The Man from Mexico,” another Para
mount picture, in which John Barrymore
takes the leading role.
Ihe story is unfolded in a common
sense way. Each separate unit of hu
morous action stands out clear and dis
tinct, and yet is so artistically blended
In the final assembling that the result
is unique.
John Barrymore as Mr. Fitzhew Is
typical of almost every married man,
w, 'ile Ids wife is true to the emotions,
characteristics and suspicions of her sex
in marital harness.
Fitzhew, a stock broker, takes his first
lesson as the driver of Ids own auto
mobile en route from his office to his
home. He just escapes running down
Ids bosom friend.
The two finish the journev together.
Mrs. Fitzhew is about to spend the night
with her mother, arranging the details
of a trousseau for her sister. Fitzhew
seizes the chance to visit a notorious
case. Mrs. Fitzhew, returning to get
her pocketbook, overhears the plot. She
enlists the aid of the district attorney’s
nephew.
Fitzhew creates a small riot in the
case, while Paquita ,n singer, gets a
photograph of Mrs. Fitzhew from the
Pocket of the new "well lighted” brok
er. Mrs. Fitzhew, with the district at
torney’s nephew, visits the place, hop
ing to confront her husband with his
domestic sin. But the broker is dragged
nut, radiating good eheer from every
lore. The plaee is raided. Mrs. Filz
hew is arrested, but upon her romp-an
ion's pledge to the poller, i s permitted
•o go. Believing her husband to be at
home, she flees to a railroad station to
await morning to bear out her proposed
trip to her mother’s home. Fitzhew gets
into a fight with a hansom cab driver,
and Is arrested and sentenced to thirty
days on Blackwell’s Island for attempt
ing to Influence the night court judge.
A detective accompanies him home to
prepare for the trip.
The next morning Mrs. Fitzhew ar
rives, and Is InfiFmed by her spouse of
an immediate thirty-days’ trip to Mexi
co. “for his health.”
His excuse is accepted and then fol
lows n series of well-staged Incidents of
a pleasing character to tile end.
Humor, clean and clever, prevails.
Barrymore is exceptionally good in the
role of Mr. Fitzhew, and receives able
support from every one of the princi
pals. “The Man from Mexico” will pro
voke laughter, loud and long.

Last Night’s Play
It’s a long way from Otis Skinner and
"The Silent Voice” to Adelaide Fontaine
and "High Jinks,” hut Augustans took
a mighty leap and made it. It is about
tlie same distance ns iYom Tipperary to
the blood-soaked fields of Flanders. In
deed, there is a mighty chasm between
“The Silent Voice,” tlie afflicted mu
sician and the rollicking riot of laugh
ter and song of last night, but people
seem able to adapt themselves to con
ditions and welcomed “High Jinks” af
ter Otis Skinner as much as a thirsty
traveler would welcome a cocktail on
tlie plains of Kansas.
Now, it does seem that every time a
real show with a purpose comes along
and gets people into a serious frame,
along comes some musical comedy and
knocks theiv good thoughts and inten
tions into a cocked hat. That show
Inst night Is not calculated to furnish
any incentive to study next Sunday’s
Sunday school lesson. Indeed, some peo
ple, in comparing It with “The Silent
Voice,” have said that It was like jour
neying from the clcir, coni and health
ful atmosphere of Monte Sano to a ma
larial swamp. Fir lie It from the writer
to say that “High Jinks” is a malarial
swamp, even figuratively speaking but
it must be admitted (hat the atmos
phere was somewhat, different.
Of course. Miss Mazie Gay, ns Ade
laide Fontaine, was tlie particular star
and she is a bird—meaning not only
a song bird, but to class her a star in
her part as chief entertainer of tlie
whole performance. Miss May Irwin,
Jolly, fat, old May, couldn't have dona
better her own talented self. Miss Gay’s
very corpulence makes is possible for
her to play the part so perfectly. Con
template, if you can, Adelaide with a
sylph like form, a tender, graceful cling
ing young thing! Gracious, you cannot
even contemplate such! Miss Gay sang
well, is a tip-top comedian, and was
the life of the show. However, in knee
dresses and with a daring low-neck
dress she was on tlie rugged edge of tha
vulgar.
Have you ever seen a woman ’’three
sheets in tlie wind" after liberal indul
gence In strong drink? Gs course you
haven't, and I bog your pardon for ask
ing such a question; hut they do tell
me Miss Gay played dial role to the
queen's taste. No man who ever lived
can cut tlie rnpprs a woman can when
slie has popped a few corks, —at least,
that is what they tell me.
Every one should take off ids bat to
Sylvia. Sue was a queen and a dream,
especially In “Hove's Own Kiss," which
must have been borrowed. In part at
least, from “My Hero." It is a most
beautiful song and was sung by a most
beautiful woman with a voice ns clear
as a bed and as sweet as a bird's. That
and “High Jinks Something Seems
Tingle-Ingle-Ing” were the song hits of
the evening Not since “AdelP" has
there been heard such good music at
the Grand.
In addition lo Adelaide and Sylvia, the
other leading characters were quite good,
especially Miss May Bouton, as Mrs
Marlon Thorne. There was some very
clever comedy by Fritz and J. J. Jef
fries, who spellod his name with an "ey,”
and Dr. Thorne. Home physicians’ wives
may have been given some good point
ers last night in the actions of Dr.
Thorne and may know better hereafter
how to keep on tlie watch. Doctors
claim to have to do many things other
men can't for scientific reasons and they
may do their kissing In the interest of
science. Their wives get a lot of com
fort out of tills therd-v However, for
f>r. Thorne the men of the audience had
mingled feelings of envy and sympathy.
The French officer whose wife, among
many others, was kissed “selsntlflcally
speaking’’ by Dr. Thorne was good. He
Is a big. robu*t man, and reminded Au
gustans of Lieutenant Britt of th* Au
gusta police force.
If there had been only one eong sung
during the entertainment and that was
"It's a Hong Way to Tipperary” the
show would have been well worth seeing.
It seemed that not until thou did the
audience warm tip. ThHt patriotic .bat
tle eong captivated the crowd arid there
was one encore after another.
The chorus was very good and the
scenery, especially in the last act, was
magnificent. A Indy remarked on her
way from the show last night that the
(bosses were made over from last year.
Of course, that I* expert opinion and no
amateur would take Issue with her but
they were good enough. All in ail “High
Jinks” Is pleasing, hut let Adelaide pose
any wny she pleases except as a near
“Heptember Morn” and people will lenve
tlie house with a better opinion of the
show. ____ TJ ' H -

a communication had been received
from a gentleman In Charlotte, N. C„
saying that he wished to put on a
"Celebrities Ball Game” In Augusta
for the benefit of the Associated
Charlies on the grounds that after
the expenses for tho entertainment
had been taken out the proceeds bo
divided with the Associated Charities
on a 50 per cent basis. It was stated
by the Charlotte gentleman that tho
expenses would not exceed S2OO and
that If they did the difference would
he paid by him. The proposition is
being investigated.
A prepared list, of persons upon
whom contributions ran lie depended
and who, it was careful to note, had
not contributed to the Associated
Charities recently, was given to the
directors with the request that each
director make it his business to see
hr many as he could Wednesday.
Certain names were selected by each
director.
Systematic Campaign.
In this way a systematic campaign,
and one which, It Is hoped, will be
fruitful, has been started In the in
te.rest of charity In this city.
Since the Associated Charities Is an
organization that cares for the city's
poor, It was deemed only proper to ask
city council to aid. A resolution was
unanimously adopted that a idea ho
mado in proper form at tho next reg
ular meeting of council asking the
city fathers to appropriate the sum
of S2OO ft month for the next two
months.
