John Griffith IN ssFau.t. /"

Goethes famous drama, Faust" will
be presented at the Grand Theatre next
Monday evening. October 18th, when
local patrons oil the classic drama will
have an opportunity to witness John
Grifiiths wonderfully vivid impersona-
tion oil "the devil" In this case the
Gesil will be most welcome visitor. Mr..
Griffith Interpretation oil the imaginary
parsonage whom Goethe called Mephisto
and his development OF the character. is
said to be a scholarly achievement.
Goethe's poetic story was made into a
play more than fifty years ago and the
dramatic versions have been many. 1t
has been translated and acted in prae-
tically every civilized tongue, and there
are few indeed, in the world of playgoers
who have not witnessed its presentation.
The story OF the devil tempting Faust to
WOO the einnocent Marguerite, forcing him
later to betray the poor girl, leaving her
to her ruin, and Faust's terrible retribu.
tion when his soul is finally claimed BY
the arch fiend-all this touches a sympa
thetic chord in every human breast. 0ne
may witness the play over and over
again with undiminished interest.
Mr.. Grifith's company is said to be
exceptionally capable. Especially is this
true OF Miss Edyth Totten, who is cred
tied with a most convincing portrayal o
the role OF Marguerite. Allen Leiber has
also given q good account OF himself in
the part Of Faust Frank Dye plays
Valentine well, it is said, and Miss Flor

creates much merriment.

''The Best Play Henderson Has
Had"

This was the universal verdict OF
the very large, cultivated and apppre-
ciative audience that witnessed 1.-The
Lion and the Mouse at the Grand
Theatre last Friday night. In the
admirable company sent out by
Manager Henry B. Harris and head
ed by Mr.. Walter Edwards and Miss
Carolyn Elberts, nothing seemed to
be lacking for a we'll nigh faultless
and pleasing presentation OF this
powerful play They charmed and
delighted and there was regret when
the curtain went down on the last
| act.
"The Lion and the Mouse" is q
play that is worth while. 1t sat
isles and leaves a "good taste in
the mouth" 1t is clean and whole
some and the moral Is fine. The
company is a strong one and the va
rious characters are we'll placed.
Both play and players were beyond
| the pale of reasonable criticism. A
better pleased audience has not been
seen in Henderson. Quite number
of persons came over from Oxford
and the neighboring towns and
country were well Represented. Every
body was we'll pleased and "glad !
came" was what they all said.

of all who saw "The Lion and the
Mouse" for providing such splendid

He Made Them Laugh.

Charley Grapewin is great as a
comedian and entertainer. Those
who faced him at the Grand Theatre
on Wednesday evening of last week
in "Above the Limit" got the worth
of their money. The comedy is
bright and enjoyable from start to
finish. Grapewin is q laugh provoker
and his support was good. He had
not been seen here before but so
thoroughly did he make good that a
warm welcome will be given him any
time he may come this way again.
From the standpoint of mirth and
merriment, something to laugh at
and forget dull care, "AbOve the

HISTORIC PICTURE.
OiI Portrait OF Henry Clay, by A.
Gilbert. Painted In i845 - Prizsd
Possession Of Capt. o K. Smith.

Capt. o. r. Smith, of Henderson.
recently made a find" of an old pic
ture which he prizes very highly for
several reasons. 1t is an oil por-
trait OF Henry Clay, painte.l in 1S4:1.
by A. Girbert, and represents the
great statesman and orator wearing
the homemade silk vest which was
presented to him when he visited
Raleigh and spoke in advocacy OF
"home protection" for infaut i'm lus-
tries as the tariff was then called.
This silk was raised from the cocoon
to the cloth here in Granville county,
N. G., principally by the women,
some OF whom are still living. Isa-
bella and Eliza Harris, daughters
OF Ivey Harris, were among those
whose names are recalled as having
| a part in the affair That was in the
days OF the multocorus mania and
everybody was anxious to contribute
something to SO great and grand a
cause that would enrich them all in
| 80 short a time. So great was this
get-rich-quick scheme in raising silk,
that mulberry sprouts sold for 81 90
| a bud to raise leaves to feed silk
worms, Capt. Smith informs us.
The silk out of which this vest was
made would bring one hundred dol
lars a yard today, and a woman's
dress made out OF it would stand
| alone, so thick and stiff was the ma
terial.
Notwithstanding the spirit of en-
thusiasm, and Henry Clay was the
greatest orator who ever spoke to
the American people, he was defeated
for president by James K. Polk, and
| we'll that he was, for if Clay had been
elected we would have had no Texas,
no California, no Pacific ocean, and
no bankers OF the world as we have
today, is the consoling thought that
comes to our venerable friend staunch
admirer as he was and is Of the great
Kentuckian. "There is a destiny
that shapes our ends rough hew
them as we will"
Becoming somewhat reminiscent
Capt. Smith says in the great speech
of Henry Clay in Raleigh in April,
1914, he so swayed the minds and
sentiments, even of his adversaries,
that r. Cox, of Orange county, an
Andrew Jackson Democrat, took out
his watch to see how long he would
speak and held it in his hand for an
hour and a half, and forgot to look
at it or to put it back in his pocket,
SO entranced was he with Clay and
what he was saying. Yet when this
man Cox with the majority of his
countrymen faced the ballot box,
they deposited their ballots for
slavery, Texas, Pacific ocean and
the Western hemisphere, because the
day of retribution had not yet come
and neither Clay nor Puritanism
could anticipate it.

One of Americas Foremost Tragic
Actors.

MIR. John Griffith who will be seen
at the Grand Theatre next Monday
evening, October 18th. in the wierd
character of Mephisto in "Faust," is
generally recognized as one of Ameri-
cas- foremost tragic actors, and in a
previous engagement here this repu:
tation was we'll borne out. His pres
ent supporting company is said to be
the strongest he has ever had. Miss
Edyth Totten. who has been identi-
fed with the attractions Of1Charles
Frohman for several years, plays
Marguerite, and is credited with a
very pleasing portraiture OF the part.
From a scenic and electrical stand
point, Mr.. Grifhth's revival OF
"Faust" is said to be a very elabo-
rate production and most enjoy
able perfor nance of the popular clas-
sic may be expected.

unequalled for anything where salve is need
ed, but it is especially good for piles. Sold

A Costly Production.

Miss Eugenia Flagg, who is the
Portia of the Edouard D'Oize pro-
duction of "The Merchant of Ven
ice," is an actress ofexceptional abil-
ity. Her youth, beauty and rare
comprehension OF Portia combine to
make her share the honors of the
flesh demanding Jew matter OF
common acceptance wherever the
play has been produced this season.
1t is not always the good fortune of
a star of Mr.. D'Oize's exceptional
ability to be SO admirably supported.
Not alone is Miss Flagg well placed,
but the entire cast as we'll. The oc-
casion of the one evenings engage
ment at the Grand Theatre on Fri
day, Oct. 22nd, should fill the thea
tire. The play is far beyond the COM
mon performances of "The Mer-
chant,'' it being a production such
as is seldom seen outside of the large
cities. Every vestige of scenery and
equipment is carried by Mr. Gregg,
the manager, the house drop" being
the only bit of drapery that will give
local ''color," all else comes with the
production. Mr.. Gregg says: Il
