The plot leads to. and permits of score

New orlsans and the Panama Exposition.
Manufacturers Record.

The south should not lose sight of the
fact that it is pre-eminently important for
this section that New Orleans should be
selected by congress as the site for the
Panama Worlds Fair. If New Orleans is
willing to bear the burden of the work,
and if New Orleans and Louisiana are
willing to assume the great financial obli-
cation of financing this undertaking, even
though it involves the putting up OF
81. .0OO, 900 or ST, 8,000,000 surely the south
should bend every energy to the heartiest
cooperation with New Orleans.
There is not business interest in the
south that would not be affected by the
selection of New Orleans. There is not a
railroad in this section but what would be
vastly benefited not only by the imme-
diate trayel-and that would be OF rela-
lively small Importance as compared with
the very great development which would
follow as a result of the exposition-but
by the expansion for all time to come OF
southern trade and travel. Every mer-
chant and manufactures in the south,
every property-oWner. is interested in this
situation.
It behooves the south to bestir itself to
cultivate throughout every social and busi-
ness acquaintanceship in the west and
the north an interest in New Orleans as
the site for the Panama Exposition. The
mere passing of resolutions by boards
of trade or other commercial bodies. or
city councils, will not count for much;
active, vigorous. untTingwork alone will
tell.
Will the south stand behind New Or
leans in its contest with San Francisco?
This exposition would be worth thousand
conventions or congresses. 1t would mean
something tangible. San Francisco, with
its vast wealth, win be backed by the
whole Pacific coast: it will put up fight
worthy of the people who have developed
that section. What will the south dc?
The south should win. 1t must win.

Coming Attractions at the Gondran Theatre
What the Press Agent Has to Say
About the Different Shows.
"The Girl From U. S. A"

Manager Nolan of the Gondran Theatre
will offer to his patrons on Saturday, Oct.
%, one of the successful plays of the sea
son, "The Girl from u. S. A., produced
by the Harry Scott Company. According
to newspaper clippings it is new theme
with no other just like it. It takes a reE-
resentative American girl-just such a
bright and charming girl as you often
meet in your everyday life-and places her
in strange lands, among strange people, IN
situations that call for the cleverest di-
splomacy to solve, and shows how she can
naturally and gaily save herself and her
friends from impending ruin. The story
simply teens with plots and counter-plots,
each one of which is so interesting that
the speed of the entertainment is both
incessant and joyous.
The scenes, vived in color and atmos-
phere, are drawn from real life and are
of absorbing human interest. The stage
pictures are beautiful, the players are
chosen from the first ranks of popular
favorites, and several clever musical
numbers are introduced. One Of the
strong features of the performance is the
shapely and splendidly trained chorus,
which appears in no less than nine differ
ent changes of costume.
If you are lover of singing, heare-stir-
ring climaxes and prolonged round of
laughter, be sure to see THE Girl from u.
S. A." at the Gondran next Saturday
night.
