THE McDUPPIE PROGRESS, THOMSON, GA.
Palace Theatre
April 7 and 8.
Griffith Invents New
Theatric Art.
Enables Him to Surpass Any Stage
Spectacle in “The Birth of a
Nation.”
The picture with
a thousand thrills
that millions have
seen again and yet
again. You must see
it if you haven’t;
see it again even
if you’ve seen it
before. It’s always
new—always good.
The new theatric art invented by
David W. Griffith in producing
“The Birth of a Nation,” a United
Artists release, coming to the Pal
ace Theatre Monday and Tuesday,
April 7th and 8th, has enabled him
to surpass by far any stage spec
tacle. “Ben Hur” and “The Blue
Bird” were supposed to be the
high-water mark of such produc
tion. They sink into insignificance
beside this epic of American his
tory with its 5,000 scenes, 18,000
characters, 3,000 riders and 20,000
details, the result of eight months
of tireless labor and the expendi
ture of half a million dollars.
The war plays of the stage, such
as “Shenandoah,” “Held by the
Enemy” and “Barbara Fritchie”
seem tame after seeing the splend
ors of “The Birth of a Nation.”
In the Griffith spectacle the scenes
of sheer beauty and strength are
of Homeric grandeur, the night
riding of the Ku Klux Klan looks
like a company of avenging spec
tres sweeping along the moonli
roads. There is a pictorial punch
in every scene.
This realistic picture of history
in the making is of untold value
to both old and young. Besides
the historical worth of this great
spectacle, the constant emotional
throb of the romantic story thrills
the hearts of all. It is the supreme
achievement of modern histrion-
ism in its new guise untrammelled
by the limitations of the theatre.
The following remarkahle cast
will be seen in the local presenta
tion: Henry B. Walthall, Lillian
Gish, Mae Marsh, Miriam Cooper,
Mary Aldcn, Josephine Crowell,
Ralph Lewis, Joseph Henabery,
Raoul Walsh, Donald Crisp, How
ard Gaye, George Seigmann, Wal
ter Long and Elmer Clifton.

But Not So Bad If You Know How
To Reach The Cause.
Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It’s hard to work or
to rest. Backache often indicates
bad kidneys. Thomson people re
commend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read
this case:
Mrs. O. D. Hill, Jackson St., says:
“I was having some back trouble
and my kidneys were disordered. I
had a catch-like pain that distressed
me and it came on when I least ex
pected it. I had headaches and dizzy
spells and my head seemed to whirl
around. My husband had used Doan’s
Pills so I tried them. After taking
half a box all symptoms left me and
I have not been troubled since.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
Hill had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,

turers, writers and churchmen in the
country, will give a series of lectures
in Washington at the court house

continue twice each day to Friday,
April 18th. The central theme of
Dr. House’s lectures will be “Psy
chology of Religions.”
Dr. House comes to Washington
under the auspices of the Washington
Evangelistic Club and it is the desire
of the club that everybody in adjoin
ing towns shall attend as many of
these lectures as possible.
The labors of Dr. House are con
fined to the large city churches and
chantauqua centers of the country
and it was only that the club learned
that he had a couple of weeks to
spare before taking up his work in
the north and west for the spring
and summer, that the club was able
to get him to stop over and deliver
his lectures in Washington.
In some cities Dr. House has re
turned to (the same churches and de
livering practically the same lectures
each time with crowds increasing
each time.

The Secret Of Success
The secret of success is hard work and
dear thinking. The industrious person
earns more man his necessary expenses,
and the thinking person saves this surnlus
and deposits it in a GOOD STRONG BANK.
It is never too soon to begin saving. Get the
habit of saving. The sooner you start the
greater will be your success.
Financial success is simply a matter of
sticking to your saving habit—making your
character stronger than any temptation to
spend. Nobody saves much at a time. Ev
erybody can save a little at a time. *
Try the saving habit and see how fas f
the small change will grow into dollars, and
the dollars into tens and hundreds.
We invite you to start an account with
us. It will be appreciated, whether large or
