PER|LS

Chas. Goddard, the author of Imagination and used it U good al Vantage in the peril line. In this number which is shown at the Lion theat'r today ard tomorrow, Pauline had gone to the South Sea Islands in search of a pirste's treasure and while the yacht was anchored near the shore, Owen places a bomb in the foid, hoping to get rid of Pauline. The explosion that follows makes great scene but Harry Marvin leaps overheard with Pauline just in time Pictures do not have to be unclean to be interesting, nor the fact that they are thrilling, mean that they should not appeal to the most dis eliminating. This is proven in the "Perils of Pauline" for it is by one of the most distinguished playwrights of the day and the leading charac- ters are among the highest priced actors in the country. "Perils of Pauline" was produced by the Pathe Players and features the beautiful actress, Pearl White, in the leading role. ''Perils of Pauline" will be shown at the Lion theater today and tomorrow and as an added attraction Manager Leecraft has secured for these days two-reel production of Wolves of the Underworld" a story of vast interest and making probabkt one of the strongest programs ever offered at the Lion.

Theatrical People Confide Their Expressions of the Other People Whom They See Beyond the Orches- tra's Pit
(By SALLY JACOBS)

Noah Webster told me-and l don't mind repeating it, because he'd tell you if you were nterested-audience says he, is an assembly of hearers.
 Now we all know MT. Webster was a very charming man and we respect and honor him and all that sort of thing. but there's no getting away from the fact that there are later authorities.
 For once I'll be progressive, thought I. as I ran to the stage door of the columbia and waited patiently for each actor to pass.
 l know others might have gone bravely to their dressing rooms. but l dared not intrude. Just suppose they had found out I was a reporter how furious they would have been and how different they might have greeted me As it was they were all quite affable
 First came the Upside Down Jug gler: MT. St. Laurent, what is an audience?"
 It's good to me, whatever it is and the Phoenix has one, that's all right"
 He was talking when that adora- ble English girl, Dorothy Verga, and her Italian husband, Nick Verga, the Newsboy Caruso, appeared.
 An audience,' said Mrs. Verga, lis what you make it. It's your work and your personality and your effort to please that counts. As I believe you can never be too successful, never cease trying to win my audi ence."
 And the Vergas surely won them last night, for I distinctly remember ten curtain calls.
 Then came the Red Heads. Surely, my dears, you remember Marguerite De Von, who was here in The Girl Question: and we all saw her as the soubrette in The Red Rose. She's the same old Marguerite, only little more so. She gave her laces one of her inimitable filings" and said
 An audience is a crowd of people and sometimes they like you and sometimes they don't"
 Sister Hattie is the same type, only also more so. I'd hate to tell you what I think, then she really thought and remarked | quite nicely: l The audiences in this country are simply lovely and most appreciative i We've had the same treatment ev- anywhere and recently closed ir | Honolulu where we were most sue cessful-"

FOR A STRONGER NAVY,

With the lessons of the war especially in
mind, the opinions on the subject of an
enlarged navy have been obtained from
members of the Naval Committees of the
Senate and House. In the past the General
Board of the Navy has recommended the
construction OF four new battleships year
even in times of peace. High naval Of
ficials within the last few weeks have stat
ed that the navy is deplorably deficient in
torpedo boat destroyers and submarines,
and that it needs $4,000 men more than it
now has to man the ships at present in the
navy.
Senator j. R. Thornton, whose states
manlike and patriotic views on this highly
important subject we have always heartily
endorsed, wires the following to Washing
ton from his home at Alexandria:
1 stand where have stood since my
entrance into the United States Senate in
1910, and where will continue to stand
until the end of my term, as an unwaver-
ing advocate of a strong navy to protect
the country from the humiliation of pos
sibie invasion of her territory by foreign
power or combination of foreign powers,
in the event Of war, and for the purpose of
properly safeguarding the national honor,
as for the protection of American COM
merce. have always stood and expect to
stand for building programme advocated
by the Naval Advisory Board, believing it
to be the best Judge Of the country's
needs along that line. =

Isaiah.

Come, my people, enter thou into thy
doors about thee: hide myself as it were
for little moment, until the indignation
be overpast. For, behold, the Lord COM
eth out of his place to punish the inhabi-
tants Of the earth for their iniquity: the
earth also shall disclose her blood, and
shall no more cover her slain.
And it shall come to pass, that he who
fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall
into the pit; and he that cometh up out of
the midst of the pit shall be taken in the
snare: for the windows from on high are
open, and the foundations of the earth do
shake. The earth is utterly broken down,
the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is
moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel
to and fro like drunkard, and shall be
removed like cottage; and the transgres-
sion thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it
shall fall and not rise again. And it shall
come to pass in that day, that the Lord
shall punish the host of the high ones that
are on high, and the kings Of the earth
upon the earth. And they shall be gather
ed together as prisoners are gathered in
the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison,
and after many days shall they be visited.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Next Thursday will be Thanksgiving
Day. The people of the United States
have much to be thankful for, as President
Wilson pointed out in his recent proclama-
ton.
There are, of course, occasional thanks
giving days in other countries, but only in
the United States is it fixed national feast.
In 1889 the proposition for national
Thanksgiving Day was defeated by Con-
gress. President Washington, however,
took up the matter, and on his own motion
and authority recommended November 18th
as national Thanksgiving Day. That
date conceded with the fourth Thursday in
November, and on this precedent that day
has now become fixture for the Thanks
giving celebration. The selection is George
Washington's, and it would be most ap-
propriate at every recurring Thanksgiving
Dinner to toast his memory.
Perhaps no ADLER or more devotional SER
mon was ever delivered on Thanksgiving
Day than that OF the Rev. B. M. Palmer
at the First Presbyterian Church in New
Orleans on November 90, 1860, which was
printed in full in the Bossier Banner,
December 21st-the writer of this article
putting in type every word of the sermon,
which occupied over nine columns of this
paper.
Mr.. Palmers text was from Psalm xciv,
Goth verse, "Sball the throne of in
iquity have fellowship with thee, which
frameth mischief by a law?" and from
Obadiah i, 7th verse, "All the men of thy
confederacy have brought thee even to the
border: the men that were at peace with
thee have deceived thee, and prevailed
against thee; they that eat thy bread have
laid wound under thee: there is none
understanding in him."
Mr.. Palmer's sermon was so earnest,
impressive and strikingly prophetic,
that his fervid words conveyed power
and meaning that can be but feebly con-
veyed here. His sermon closed with the
following glowing peroration on the South
land:
.'She shall know no peril, but it is my
peril; no conflict, but it is my conflict, and
no abyss of ruin, into which shall not
share her fall. May the Lord God cover
her head in this, her day Of battle!''

A NJ abob,

"Rich as nabob.' is an expression
not infrequently heard, but why n ma
bob" should thus be associated with
wealth and who he was precisely il
not so generally known. Under the
great moguls the provinces of India
were administered by deputies known
by the designation of "nawab,' who
commonly amused much money and
lived in great splendor. The office and
the title continued under British rule
in the orient. but gradually the word
became corrupted into 'nabob" and
was applied generally to all natives
who had grown rich. More latterly II

The South's Attitude.
From the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register.I -~-...
''The South is not a beggar. It does not
need to beg and it can take care of itself"
says the Manufacturers Record, and the
Baltimore trade journal is exactly right.
1t goes on:
"No other country on the face of the
earth has so many advantages as the
South. No other country upon which the
sun shines is so rich in natural resources.
No other country is so we'll equipped by
nature to produce the foodstuffs of grain
and provisions and vegetables and fruits
for man 8 sustenance, and no other country
is so rich in mineral and timber and water
power resources so susceptible of develop
ment."
It is queer role, for the South to stand
hat in hand about the doors of the national
capitol, whimpering piteously for aims. It
is something new. The South did not
grovel when its own fields felt the tread of
the invader, its industry destroyed, and it's
trade paralyzed. 1t did not groan or cry
aloud during the lean years when cotton
sold at five and six cents pound.
True that this section has seen the pros
poets of profits of hundreds of millions of
dollars swept away by the European war;
but it is not the South alone that will
suffer. If it hasn't the money, it cannot
pay its debts to the East and Middle West.
1t cannot buy the things which those re-
gions are so anxious to sell it. Thus the
situation is more than local one. In it
are involved the prosperity of the bankers,
manufacturers and wholesalers of the East
and West. That this is well recognized is
shown by the fact that the movement to
provide cotton loan fund of S135, 0OO, 900
originated in st. Louis and received mate
rial support in New York.
When all is said and done, however, it
will be found that the South's chief help
must be supplied by ITSELF 1t must show
itself worthy Of the aid of the rest of the
country. 1t can never do this by sitting
down and wringing its hands.
