COMING TO THE THEATERS

Columbia-f'The Stronger Claim"
Richard Bennett, an actor well known
to Washington audiences in productions
of Charles Frohman, and especially in
support Of Maude Adams as the Scotch
man, John Shand, in What Every Wom-
an Knows" will make his initial venture
into the exacting field Of producing man.
ager when he brings to the Columbia
Theater next week his production of
The Stronger Claim" a comedy drama
by Margaret Turnbull.
The drama is in three acts and three
scenes and the cast contains but eight
players. 1t is fraught with dramatic
interest and filled with tense human
situations. Edith Wynne Matthison, Tim
Murphy, and Richard Bennett enact the
more important roles, but with them
there are the heart-loving characters OF
a child, a laborer, a chauffeur. q serving
maid. and the daughter of an arrogant
autocratic father.
Ar. Bennett has been fastidious In his
selection of the players, and the set
tings of Miss Turnbulrs drama, and
will bid for metropolitan favor after
Washington has told him Just what
theatergoers think Of his methods in
play producing.

Belasco-"Kindling."

One Of the best bookings at the Belasco
Theater for this season is the appearance
here next week of Margaret Ellington in
her new American play. "Kindling." by
Charles Kenyon. a young California au-
thor. This play has proved the best sue
cess in which Miss Ellington has ap-
peared. The theme is novel to the stage
and it is handled in a masterful manner.
The problem involved Is one of interest
to all classes, and the play is said to be
technically a masterpiece. In addition to
Il gripping and compelling story, there
is a good quantity Of comedy and char
acterizations that relieve the intense
scenes. Miss Ellington is Maggie Scultz.
the young. ignorant wife of the tene-
ments who steals in order to secure
money that she may go to q new land
where there are trees and sunshine SO
that her expected child may be born
amid surroundings that will give 1t .

JUDGE GEO. EDWARDS, VETERAN
ORDINARY OF LEE COUNTY.
Campaign Opens Up Over There With
n Flood of Candidates for Various
Offices. Primary Nav 1st


LEESBURG, Ga.-The democrats
executive committee of Lee county
held a meeting Saturday morning
and named May as the date on
which to hold the primary for county
officials The committee ruled that
the names of candidates announcing
later than April 18th will not be
placed on the official ballot.
The race for sheriff promises to
be a lively one. S. B. Smith, the
present incumbent, is not a candi-
date for reelection, but there are no
less than six others who think that
they should be the peoples choice.
They are: J. F. Hines, at present
deputy sheriff; D. R. Moreland, T.
F. Ford, J. A. Smelling, H. E. Lara
more and G. D. Richards.
There will probably not be more
than three of this number who will
make formal announcement and re-
main in the race. The present tax
collector, F. T. King, is retiring from
office, and there are three candidates
to succeed him as follows: D. w.
lbOl, L. 1hduudll anu d.
FOuche.
Judge George c. Edwards of the
court of ordinary will not be a can
didate for reelection, and G. H. Col
lin is the only one who has announc-
ed so far to succeed him. Judge
Edwards, who is the father of Mrs.
]. A. HERS of Dawson, is SO years
of age, and has been Ordinary of
Lee county 38 years. He has held
the office o. Ordinary longer than
any other man in the state of Geor-
gia.
Clerk of Superior Court James
Morgan, treasurer w. F. McAfee, tax
receiver H. r. Stovall and Coroner
w. z. Youngblood, present incum-
bents, have as yet no opposition, but
it is very probable that each will
have running mate before the cam
paigT is over. Judge H. L. Long of
the city court retires from the
bench, and c. H. Beazley is being
mentioned as candidate to succeed
him.
