PROGRESSIVE NEW SMYRNA


miles south Of Dzytona and is an
idszI spot reached from Dsytona by
hard surface road winding through
one 81 the most picturesque parts of
Florida
With its ancient ruins dating back
70 a time when the history of man
runneth not, inferlaeed with wires of
the modern telegraph and telephone,
its miles Of shell streets as hard and
smooth as floor and over-arched by
hozry forest giants that grew in state
" grandeur during the lapse of by
gone centuries, New Smyrna is truly
a place Of romance and rest.
All nature here is very inviting to
the tourist and pleasure-seeker. Here
too is to be found the best fishing and
hunting in the State Of Florida
The people are thrifty, the bust
ness men enterprising. and all unite
in extending the welcome hand of
hospitality to strangers. There are
FIVE church edihces for white people
and an equal number for the colored
population; the town has an excellent
high school, a splendid public lib
rzry, and up-to-date business houses.
There are any number of pretty
homes for the permanent population
which numbers close to 1000, and
some very fine winter residences.
There are good hotels and boarding
houses where you can find accomo-
dations to meet your requirements.
Adjoining New Smyrna is as fine
section Of vegetable land as can be
found anywhere. This land has
been divided into small farms which
can be bought 81 reasonable prices.
Some Of the finest celery grown in
the State is raised on this land. Ali
other vegetables grow in abundance,
and here, too, is the home of the fam
Gus Indian River oranges.
New Smyrna has no bonded in
debtedness and the tax levy is low.
A point that no tourist should fail
to visit is the ruins of the Old Span
ish Mission which stand somber and
alone about one and a quarter miles
southwest of New Smyrna. A good
road leads to the place and the trip
can be easily made by an automobile.
Silent, In the great pine fats by the
martin of the forest, is this place of
pilgrimage for the Pious; this rem
dczvous for the Picnicksr. The ruins
are extensive, and while there is no
authentic history Of their origin, it
is presumed that the Mission was
built by the Frznciscans In the days
when the once powerful Kingdom Of
Spain first planted its flag upon what
is now American soil. II was built
Of coquina, the roof being Of the
same material, cut into thin slabs
and covered with cement plaster.
Extensive gardens surrounded it,
which were enclosed by a stone
wall, portions Of which still remain.
Visitors usually come in parties
merry and curious but the spell Of
the place soon falls upon them and
they separate to sit alone, silent and
meditative, under the arches or be-
side the ancient well.

Miller PRODUCES
new PLAY HERE
Actor Managers Long Cher
ished Wish to Play Sydney
Carton" to Be Realized

On the eve Of his engagement at the
Columbia theater Henry Miller wires
the announcement that he viii pro-
duce a new play tomorrow night. 1t
is to be called sydney Carton" and is
founded on Millers famous success.
The Only Way" The manuscript has
just been completed.
Sydney Carton" according to Miller,
preserves all the poetry. pathos. beauty
and powerful dramatic appeal of THE
Only Way" It enables the actor man
ager to present just as striking and
compelling an impersonation of the
tragic. hero of Dickens Tale of Two
Cities" as the earlier drama.
-.. Miller's impersonation Of Dickens
French revolutionary hero is a mem
ory haunting portrait, and by far the
most dramatic role the actor manager
has ever played. No one can forget the
stage story OF the man who threw away
his life with the indifference of a great
spirit. uttering in the shadow Of the
guillotine that soul weary cry: TT
is q far. far better thing that I do
than have ever done-it is a far, far
better rest that I go TO than I have
ever known"
The presentation Of the new play
does not affect the performance Of MIL
ler's comedy success. Her Husbands s
Wife" The actor-manager is offering
both plays at the Columbia as a double
bill for HIS entire engagement in San
Francisco.
The curtain at the Columbia will be
rung up sharply az Sis in the evening,
snstead Of at $50. as was the custom
during the New York and Chicago runs
Of Her Husbands Wife" and the in
termissions in the comedy viii be
shortened. AS q result, San Francisco
Will see two plays at every perform
ance- that present a startling contrast.
Miller could not make a selection of
roles that would give a more striking
demonstration Of his ability TO range
from grave TO gay. sounding the gamut
OF dramatic appeal. His versatility has
been proved here, but San Francisco
has never seen him play two such
widely different roles before in any
engagement. He will appear first to-
morrow night in the light comedy char
acter OF John Belden in Her Husbands
Wife" and follow that almost imIne-
ojately with his Interpretation of Sid
ney Carton.
special company will appear in his
support for the new play. including

ALCAzAR THEATER
Dramatization of Rex Beach's
Novel to Be Given First
Local Production

Tomorrow night at the Alcazar there
will be presented to San Francisco for
the first time 1.-The Barrier" adapted
by Eugene Presbrey from Rex Beach's
novel. Though the play was pronounced
a success in New York and travelled
prosperously Throughout the east and
middle west last season, it was not sent
to the far west. and this in spite of
the fact that competent critics have
pronounced 1T much better drama
than it's authors previous success The
Spoilers" Exigencies of the booking
system prevented the plays coming,
and Frederic Belasco secured it for
stock presentation at great cost.
AS in the book Necia, the adopted
daughter of John Gale, the Yukon
trader. is the central character of the
drama. The rivalry between her ad-
nirers, Captain Burrell and Runnion,
a gambler, is even a greater struggle
in the staged work than in the book.
and the cause Of vigorous and thrilling
situations.
Flambeau, a trading station on the
great Alaska river, is the place Of the
action. In the first and second acts
the scene is the interior of Gales store.
In the last act the military barracks
are realistically pictured.
All of the love making, intrigue and

seller" are condensed into four acts.
While the actual attempt of Stark and
Runnion to steal the girls interest in
the new gold discovery is not wit
messed, the stirring incidents preced-
ing and resultant of it are represented.
And the duel that forms one of the
most exciting chapters of the story is
fought in full view of the audience
elizabeth Stewart has been specially
re-engaged to impersonate Necia, and
with Thurston Hall as Captain Bur-
rell. Louis Bennison as John Gale

YOUTH IS IN This
MUSICAL COMEDY
Pixley and Luders' ''Prince of
PiIsen" Does Not Stale or
Grow Old

Eight years of unbroken success and
increasing popularity have been the
happy fate of Pixley and Luders musi-
cal comedy. The Prince of Pilsen,
which Henry w. Savage is sending to
the Savoy theater with an all Star cast
for eight nights beginning this even
ing.
If musical comedy lives out two
seasons it is regarded in the light of
a record maker. and if lit lasts in
public favor four it is a wonder The
Prince of Pilsen'' has become classic in
musical entertainment, and is as fresh
and sparkling today as bottle of
newly uncorked but ancient wine.
The score or more of charming musi-
cal numbers contributed by Gustav
'1uders have become generally familiar
TO music lovers, but they possess that
quality of freshness and harmonic
buoyancy so rarely caught by present
day COMPOSERS Frank PiXley's story,
with its dainty thread Of romance, is
charmingly set in q maze of delightful
scenic surroundings, beautiful costumes
and pretty femininity.
The company that will present this
musical moroccan here has been selected
excellence that has not heretofore been
attained in this entertainment. Jess"
Dandy, equally famed as wit, racon-
teur and stage comedian, will appear as
Hans Wagner, a part which he has
played more than 1000 times. His
quaint and individual methods gave
him the distinction OF being the best
parody singer on the stage, long before
he essayed musical comedy imperson-
ations.
Frances Cameron will give grace and
distinction to the role Of the dashing
widow She scored an emphatic sue
cess in this part two seasons ago. and
later had the prominent role of Sonia
in the production Of The Merry
Widow
The male chorus work will disclose
a degree of strength and harmony of
vocal work seldom attained. while the
American city girls. the seashell girls
and the bathing girls provide all the
fetching qualities of looks and voice
that can be desired.
John Mason. in a splendid revival of
Augustus Thomas best play, The
witching Hour" will follow The
Prince of Pilsen" at the Savoy.
