THEATRICAL
by Bias

1t is the outspoken desire of
the majority of the people of
Big Stone Gap that we have the
better theatrical attractions
make Big Stone Gap, but such
attendance as was exhibited
when Alma Where Do You
Live, which was one OF the best
that has ever been exhibited
here, was at the Amuzu. will
serve to make the better exhi.
bitlons of theatrical skill fight
shy of us. However the attend.
ance to the feature picture War
lis He'll gave much encourage
ment to the management of the
Anuzu TO continue to secure
for his patrons the very best
aud most sensational feature
pictures which are being shown
today.
War is He'll was positively the
best picture which has been
shown here since the picture
theatre started, but it is by no
means the best on program for
the season. On next Tuesday
October 9th j U DITH OF
BErHULlA will be thrown up
on the screen at the Amuzu.
Judith of Bethulia is one of the
three greatest films, if not
actually tho best film the world
ever seen. The scenes showing
the attacks OF the assyrians on
the inhabitants OF the city are
unsurpassed in the realm of
moving pictures. The assault
on the walls of Bethulia are nd.
mirably portrayed. a most
vivid and realistic picture of
Jewish life about two centuries
before the destruction of the
Temple.
This biblical story has been
endorsed by the clergy all over
the United States and Europe
as perfect pictorial account of
the tragic story of Judity and
Eiolofernes, and is one which
both the minister and the la,
man should make it n point 10
witness.
The story is from the Apo
crypha and is arranged
from the version by Thomas
Bailey hidrlch through per-
mission Of his publishers. In
the staging of this production
upwards of five hundred people
and three hundred horsemen
were employed, and the para
phernalia, which had TO be es-
pecIally designed, secured at n
cost of thousands of dollars.
II is the most animated picture
winch has ever been produced
and no student of history can
afford to miss it.

American Road
Congress.

Many Southern cities are
making preparations to enter
tain delegates and visitor en-
route to and from the American
Road Congress which convenes
III Atlanta during the week of
November 9. Chattanooga was
the frat to tender it's hospital
ity to the Good Roads Congress.
The Chamber of Commerce and
the automobile Club of that
city united in an invitation to
the good roads visitors to spend
Saturday November IA in Chat
tanooga visiting points of his
toric and scenic interest. Ar
engagements have been made to
provide automobiles to convey
the visitors over the historic
battlefields of Chicamauga and
Mission Hill and up Lookout
and Signal Mountains. An op-
portunity will be afforded of in
speeding one hundred miles of
government boulevards in adj
dition to the splendid streets
and roads in Chattanooga and
Hamilton County. For those
who travel over land in their
automobiles, the members of
the Automobile Club will act as
pilots and will personally di-
rect them to the principal points
of interest to tourists. During
their stay in Chattanooga the
good roads visitors will be the
guests of the city.
There are many of the south
ern cities rich in historic inter
est and possessing Mt the same
tune many interesting features
from the standpoint of the road
builder and the engineer, and it
is quite probable that thousands
of the delegates and visitors to
the Road Congress will avail
themselves of this opportunity
to enjoy the hospitality of cities
such as Chattanooga, Savan-
nah, Raleigh, Charleston, Mo
bile, Birmingham. Nashville,
Charlotte, and Richmond, on
the line of travel to and from
Atlanta. TO many of the visit
ors from New England, the
Northwestern and the far West
ern states, the visit to the
South will be n new experience.
At the headquarters of the Con-
gress in the Colorado Building
in Washington, the list of ac-
credited delegates already in
cludes representation from 40
states and it is freely predicted
that this years Road Congress
will have by far the largest at
tendance of any public welfare
meeting this year.
