ssThe fSval4ow's Has The BEost Handsome Production Ever Given to a south-
 erm Play.

When aThs Traitor" the new Ku Klux K1ang play by Charming Pollock and Thomas Dixon, Jr. appears at the
 Grand Matinee and night on Saturday November. 2S, 1t will be seen that the
 play, has been given the handscmest
 production ever utilized for drama of the south. No expense was spared on the part of the management and before one piece of scenery was paint
 ed, Frank Platzer. the well-knowli
 scenic artist. left his work in the height of his busy season, to spend q week
 among the foothills of North Carolina
 and at Milwood, the ancestral home of
 General Wade Hamilton in South Caro-
 lima for the purpose of nlaking de- signs and sketches for the stage set
 tings of the new play. Of course this all meant expense.
 Cutie often one. hears of a scenic artist making trip to secure accuracy of atmosphere for the settings of a comic, opera, which ifs. after all purely imaginary. while a play which is based on historical facts is often left to shift for itself with any scenery that the artist can evolve from his imagination Inasmuch as the power of "The Trai- tor" largely lies in its close adherence to the truth of history. as was tho case with ''The Clansman." 1t can readily be seen that there is much importance in having the scenic settings an exact reproduction of the scenes presented. Probably, the most picturesque of the stage settings painted for The Trai. tor' is that of the second act, the home of General Hampton. showing the de- vastatio that had been wrought by General Sherman on his march to the sea. It Is more than likely that Mir. Plazer's example will be followed by other scenic artists in the future for the demands of the dranatist aud pro- ducing manager are becoming more exacting every season. =.

 Too much could enot he said of the splendid work of littlc Miss Thurston She has never before been so. happily cast, she has never before so delighted her audience. She seemed to live the part of Eestor Temple and was natur- al petite and altogether charming throughout. Miss Thurston Is unques- tionably a real artist for her arts sake.
 Frederick Paulding was as good as of old. but one cannot but think Of him first as playwright, for as such he is undoubtedly gifted to degree The cast as a whole was nicely bal anced and especially good were the portrayaIs Of Frank Dawson. Miss Clara Sidney and Miss Caroline New comb.

 After appearing in the simple dresses of a Ilght-house keeper s daughter for the past two seasons Ad- 1 alaide Thurston will again have the snleastire of wearing in her new play san,e gowns which are said to be mod els of the modiste's. art. Speaking to her advance representative lately in answer to his request for descrip- ton of her gowns, Miss Thurston said;
 "I cannot help but feel that my many followers. especially the femi- nine portion, will be glad to see me dressed up again, and might add with a merry little laugh, I am glad my self for I really grew awfuliy tired of. oil skin, boots, etc. The first act or s.,rhe Woman's Hour calls for two changes of costume.

HUMANIZING HUMANITY.

The work of Freethought is to humanize humanity The
labor of the church has been and to animaze it,
One of the most potent results Of the adoption OF science
philosophy humanzng agencies is the abandonment
of the idea that the orthodox church the sole reposl
tory and depository of the truth.
The difference between philosophy and theology is that
the former advances conclusion merely provisional,
subject change while the latter asserts that all its con-
illusions final, rrevocabe and unaerable. For the
here stated philosophy must always and be
progressive, while theology must be stationary having
reached the full limit Of it's possibilities We cannot move
beyond fnaty. That is the end Following the advance
of philosophy the discovery has been made that the
assumptions made by theoogans that they the

A Thanksgiving Message
By Rev. W. L. HOLLY

This day, great God of all the earth,
We thank Thee for our nations birth,
For men who laid foundations strong
That will endure through ages long;
Till all the wars of earth shall cease,
When all shall hail the Prince of Peace
Who taught the Brotherhood of Man.
We thank Thee for this land of ours,
Respected by the greatest powers,
Because the stars and stripes unfurled,
Send freedoms light around the world
TO raise the nations from afar,
That they may see hopes brightest star
Point to the Brotherhood of Man.
We thank Thee for this country, where
The school, the home, the house OF
prayer,
Are plenteous, like stars above;
And all proclaim the power Of love
That lifts the race from sin and shame
To heights Of victory and fame,
Within the Brotherhood of Man.
