At The nMovies.n

After having been closed through
out Holy Week, the Gondran and
Happy Hour theatres will reopen to-
morrow afternoon, and the program
at both houses will be unusually ex-
cellent in view of the Easter holiday.
A fine new screen has been installed
in the Gondran, which will result in
greatly improving the appearance of
the pictures, and the paraphernalia
and equipment at both theatres has
been thoroughly overhau1ed and
placed in shape for first-class service.
At the Gondran tomorrow after
noon the magnificent Vitagraph two
reel special, ..The Vengeance of Du-
randi which made hit here some
weeks ago, will be repeated for the
benefit of those patrons who failed
to see the first presentation. This
is one of the finest two-ree1 films
ever manufactured, and it will doubt
less be witnessed by even larger au-
diences than when originally shown.
Messrs. Trepagnier & Boston are
arranging to present at the Gondran,
in the near future, the wonderful
Kalem six-reel film, From the Man
gSe to the Cross This is said to
be the greatest spectacular Biblical
picture ever produced. and is &C
claimed as a most accurate and
vivid portrayal of the life of Jesus
| Christ. The picture cost thousands
of dollars and required over one year
to produce accurately. It was staged
on the actual settings in and around
Palestine where the incidents in
reality occurred hundreds of years
ago, and is in keeping with the true
isaory of Christ as outlined in the
Bible. The coming of this magnifi-
cent feature will be awaited with
keen interest by the many patrons

VOTE FOR THE ROAD BOND
PROPOSITION.

The great. value of good roads is
everywhere recognized, and their
uagent need In this parish is ap-
parent to every person who has oc.
casion to travel over our thorough.
fares in bad weather.
1t is an undeniab1e fact that no
other work Of public improvement can
give such a. generous return in ma.
terial and tangible profit and bene.
fit to the community as the better,
ment of the public roads.
Roads that are good not only in
good weather. but are good also in
the periods of wet weather that are
SO common to this climate and lati.
tude, would be q boon to our people
the worth of which in dollars and
cents it would be difficult to over
estimate
II the ordinance to be submitted
:td the voters of the first road dis
trict next Tuesday is adopted, the
,,uiIding of such roads in that dis
trict will be made practicable for
the first time Id our history.

of the Mississippi river and both
sides Of Bayou Lafourche, extend.

to the upper line of st. James, and
from Donaldsonville to the Assump.
tion line. Iberville expects to have
a connecting good road to the AS
cension line before the construction
Of ours can be commenced, and
there is a reasonable certainty that
both ST. James and Assumption will
connect with and continue the AS
cension thoroughfares down the
river and bayou through those adjoin
ing parishes.
Do the people of Donaldsonvflle
and the rest Of the first road dis
trict require to be taught or even
tdld what a big thing such a sys-
TEN of good roads means for them
The proposition is too plain ano
simple to be misunderstood, ano
every first district voter ought to be
not only willing but anxious to give
it his support.
