sentiment of such theme; and OF
finding fitting representative for the
part of "Mignon," who pervades the
rhoto-play all through. For "Mignon" "
is one of those screen stories which
relies upon its success upon one char
acter to which all the other characters
are subordinated, however important
Il. ey are of themselves or in relation
to the heroine.
In early life, "Mignon" was stolen by
GGpsies, and her father, in conse-
quence of his loss, becomes demented.
The girl mas lost all recollection of her
early associations, which were of the
grandest; the prematurely old man
Las abiding sorrow in his tattered
loneliness; the disappearance of his
child, for whom he is ever seeking.
TIE Two meet fogtuitously in their
wanderings and become inseparable,
but the father does not recognize his
daughter, and the girl, is oblivious
of t. e fact that old Lothario is her
parent.
Rescued from the cruel treatment Of
Giarno, her Gypsy owner, by the cniv-
alrous Wilhelm Meister, the untamed
girl, Mignon, falls in love with her
cour:ly savior, and can not be deferred
from worsnipping him with her Whole
heart and soul Filina, Wilnelm's i'm
perious fance, resents the alteration
of the impetuous Gypsy girl for VIII
helm, and jealousy leads her to lock
the girl in burning castle from which
she is rescued by Wilhelm.
Lothario returns at length to mis-
ancestral home and accidentally dis
covers that Mignon is his daughter, to
whom in Ter. rehabili:ated condition,
Wilhelm seeks permission to pay court.
SMignon, throughout ner adventures
is at times selfish, daring, jealous, sus-
picious, devoted, brave, unconvention-
al, loving-the creator of the charac-
ter would appear to have, made his
heroine a complete tmicrocosm of fem
mine foibles and idiosyncracies.
Such role, of course, could only be
attempted by an artist of consummate
beauty and histrionic powers, and it
is not exaggeration to say that in Bea-
triz Michelena, the famous grand opera
star of the Pacific coast, an ideal
'Mignon" was found, and that in the
photo-play she lives the character she
represents.

&Mignon" at the Opera House
Tuesday, July Is.

On January 18th, the World Film
presents the '5-part photo
play "Mignon, produced by the Cali
fornia Motion Picture corporation.
Some of the greatest names in art,
music and literature have been asso-
ciated with the story of "Mignon."
Originally written by Goethe, Ambrose
Thomas utilized the theme for a grand
opera, and the name part was under
taken in the last forty years by some
of the worlds greatest operate art
lists, those who with lyrical ability COM
bined acting genius. There is no grand
opera house on the globe which mas
not offered this fascinating subject,
at some time or other, to its patrons.
AS literature and music, then, Mig
non" furnished THE producers of the
photo-play with q. grand opportunity
for translating into film form story,
the renown of which was so thorough
ly we'll established. The writings Of
Goethe, the author of Wilhelm Meis-
ter" have enjoyed a reputation for two
centuries, and among the writers of
grand opera music the name of Am
broise Thumas is conspicuously placed.
Here you have a complexity and in
ternationality Of reputation which
casts a heavy burden on the shoulders

Commissioner, Columbia, S, C.
Dear Sir:
Referring to our conr ersation over
TIE phone yesterday it gives me pleas
ure to say that from time to time your
self and Representatives of your Office
have discussed with me various mat
tiers connected with the insurance of
the State warehouses. You have in
quired about companies, their assets
and liabilities and invariably have
asked whether or not t3is, that, or
the other company in which you were
considering placing insurance was Ii
censed in the State.
Your department has never so far
as l know proposed placing insurance
in unlicensed companies, and certain
ly it mas not paid or rendered payment
to this department of the three per
cent tax on premiums required to be
paid on Insurance placed in unlicensed
companies, as provided in section 20,
act 800, acts of 1912.
I feel sure t.at your department
would not willingly violate the laws of
the State. The fact that you have not
paid this tax or rendered payment OF
it will be evidence to me that your
department had not placed any insur-
ance in unlicensed companies.
Complying with your request, 1 am
enclosing herewith copy of the bill
to created State life fund, tie grant
ing of annuities. This bill has no ref
erence to fire insurance, but is not
distant in principle from the method
so successfully pursued by the Safe
of South Carolina in carrying its own
insurance on public buildings.
Wishing your department every sue
cess in the world and offering to CO.
operate with you in any way possible,
l am, Very truly,
(Signed) F. H. McMaster,
Insurance Commissioner.

target practice On the range by indi-
viduals or any other contestants,
whether they are in the matc-es or
not. This privilege applies not only
when the contests are going on, but
before and after the contests. A sufi-
cient number of men will be furnished
to work the targets, ETC., and dae prac-
tice will be free to all, instead Of fee
being charged, as heretofore.
The national matches were last held
in 1913 at Camp Perry, Ohio, when
there were approximately 5000 peo-
pie in attendance, and it is expected
that the number of participants and
visitors will be greatly increased this
year, as congress has made a special
appropriation of $4,000 to cover the
cost of transporting the militia and
the railroads have announced reduced
individual and party excursion fares
for the occasion, something which has
never been done before, and both Of
which are open to the public.
The Atlantic Coast Line has issued
an illustrated and descriptive circular
showing the fares to State Camp, and
side trip fares from Jacksonville to
the principal points in Florida; also
to Havana, Cuba In addition to giving
the detailed information regarding the
rife matches, there are half-tone cuts
showing the rife ranges, regimentaf
camps, camp kitchens and number
of other views Of interest to all con-
testants, while the back of the circular
contains a comprehensive map of Flor
ida, in two colors, which shows the
exact location of State Camp. In ad-
dition to this, the Florida Rife asso-
citation E.as in course Of preparation
an Official program which will give in
more deail the schedules, rules and
conditions of the national and other
matches. Copies of these circulars
may be obtained from the Florida Rifle
association, P. o. drawer 227, st. Au-
gustine, Fla, or from T. C. White, Cen
eral Passenger Agent Of the Atlantic
Coast Line, at Wilmington, N. c.

that it is only those banks who have
not taken the trouble to go into the
merits of the system. When wanted
TO finance the State receipts went to
banking institutions-not to pawn

of the federal reserve board, gave me

evidences the arrogant contempt they
feel for all VITO do not bow in sub

under the law to insure in reputable
companies when and wnere I please.
Otherwise 1 could not escape their

Mr. MeMaster, and to a very large ex--
tent have been following his advice.
I hope that when the legislature meets
