In LADY AudIey's Secret" at the Rex
Friday and Saturday.

Very seldom is so powerful a stor,
so ably produced and with such a re
markable cast as the recent William
Fox photo-dramatic success, Lad,
Audley's Secret"
George Talboys, a wealthy young
man, has married Helen Vevennan,
,Theda Bara), the daughter of dis
reputable nalfpay, lieutenant, on the
retired. st of the English army. His
father disinherits him for marrying
against his wishes, forcing the young
couple to curtaiI their expensive no
neymOon.
In short time George finds himself
penniless, and living on the scant
bounty of his father-in-law. Daily their
situation grows worse. A child is
born to Helen, and the family physi.
clan tells her that maternity has al
ways caused insanity amongt he WON
en- Of the Devennant family.
Rendered desperate by their situa-
ton, George goes to the Australian
gold fields to seek fortune. Helen,
leftal one with her child to fight off
the dread curse of insanity, finds her
situation intolerable. She goes to Lon
don and obtains a position as secre-
tary to physician, under an assumed
name. There Sir Michael Audley
meets and falls in love with her. Not
knowing whether George is alive or
dead, she marries him, without telling
him that she has been married before.
In the meantime, after many disap-
pointments, George and the Australian
have struck it rich Joyfully antici-
pating his Homecoming, George sets
out for England. From this point on,
thes tory is without let up in it's dra-
matte intensity. Their ole of Helen,
with its big scenes where she goes in
sane and throws George down the well
and when she wildly confesses to Rob
srt, is tremendous i'm its throbbing
1rama. Probably not another artist
could have portrayed the part of the
mad Lady Audley with such thrilling
effect as does Theda Bara. This photo
irama will undoubtedly be hailed as
he browning achievement of that re-
lowned French actress.

GEoRG1A's DUTY

, Athens, Ca, Sept. 1.-The Herald OF
this city says:
"The general assembly has been
urged year after year to enact a com.
pulsory education law, but the body
has invariably turned deaf ear to
every appeal. The forces engaged in
the molding of child life into dollars
have thus far successfully combatted
every effort set forth to emancipate
the child from the thralldom of indus
trial slavery.
How muh longer is Georgia to be
numbered among the dGgracefully
illiterate states? What will have to
happen to force the legislature to a
realization of its duty to the men and
women of tomorrow? Are even the
rudiments of an education to be for
ever denied the children of the Door
of Georgia? Every i'taxpaying citizen
of this state helps. to pay for the
higher education ofithose eduacted in
the state university, and consequently
why should not the children of these
more humble citizens, who are year
after year contributing their mite to
educate others, be enabled to at least
see that their offsprings have at least
a fighting chance in the world?"

In Martins eFrry the two largest

Mexican women have been sent here at

But the little Mexican woman did not
smile all the time she was being inter

misery, she seemed close to tears. And
sometimes as she told of the work she
had done for the revolution and of her
Imprisonment, her eyes flashed.

The first thing which the women did
when they were organized was to
march through the streets of the city
each Sunday to the cemetery where
Madero is buried. They carried flowers
in their arms, and when they came to
his grave heaped it high with their Of
ferings. This was during the Huerta
regime in Mexico. But the women did
other than picturesque things like
marching and decorating grave.
They wrote little pamphlets about po-
litical conditions in Mexico and about
the future which the revolution would
bring in. But how distribute the
pamphlets?
