(and that biblical one) will be shown
in moving pictures tonight at the Gem

peared in the Passion play The en-
tire production is an imported one
coming from the Cines studio in
Rome, Italy. Other plays on the
Gems program tonight will be as fol-
lows: Sherlock Holmes the Midget"
"Dair and His Dog" "a Trip to Eng

Ladies Day at Ball Park;
Contest For Season Ticket

The management of the Hattiesburg
Baseball Association announces a num-
Der of changes to govern the local
games the coming season, which it is
hoped will make for greater con-
venience of patrons and benefit the
club.
An innovation, and one that should
be appreciated, by larger attendance
at games, is the Inauguration of
Ladies' Day. Every Tuesday during
the season when games are played at
home ladies will be admitted free.
This plan is likely to be adopted by
all the clubs and will doubtless in
crease the number of fans among the
fair sex..-,
There will also be a change in the
prices of tickets for ladies and chill
dren. Ladies' tickets will be 35c
and children, under 16 years of age.
15c. Tickets for the opening game
at homo will be 81 for gentlemen and
