son, Lois Merideth and Glen White
and supported by al all star COM
pany. The next picture at the Hip
podrome theatre will be six reel
production, 1.-The Seats Of the Mighty"
by Sir Gilbert Parker.
To try and explain the various
scenes and action that takes place in
this wonderful drama would be to
search in vain for words to impress
an adequate opinion, but when it is
metioned that one hundred thous-
and dollars was spent IN producing
this film, the prospective patrons Of a
moving picture theatre can get fair
idea of the treat that Is in store for
them.
Anybody who gets to see The
Seats Of the Mighty" will get his
moneys worth alone out Of the very
grim and realistic piece of battle
work which Is included in this pic
ture. There are scenes where two
thousand actors are at work at one
time.
The story originally was in ten
reels, but 1t has been condensed 40
percent without sacrificing the inter-
est or sequence of the story.
The World Film corporation pre-
senting this picture to the public,
feel 1.-THE Seats Of the Mighty offers
an ideal story in dramatic form pro-
duced with lavishness and acted with

long run at the Gambler theatre, New
York, where it set new standard of
photoplay excellence for the picture
patrons of Broadway and the white

shown at the Hippodrome tomorrow.
"The Naked Truth" is five-part
dramatic subject based on the famous

French author, Henry Batail1e.
THE Naked Truth" presents a de.
lightful story Of life in the Latin
quarter of Paris, leading the specta-
tor among the time-holored haunts
of the artists and students colony,
the salons of the richest and most
fashionable Partisan families and the
myriad show places of the gayest city
in the world. 1t gives intimate
elimpses of the romantic life so
of modern Paris, the
care-free existence which has become
synonymous with the Latin quarter.

"John BarIeycorn" at the Grand To-
niuht

"John BarIeycorn" at the Grand To-
night.
A filmed adaptation of Jack Lond-
on's story, John Barleycorn,' will b"
presented at the Grand tonight. This
picture Is brought to the Grand by the
local order of the w. G.. T. U. and is
for their benefit and it is to be hopo1
that all who can, will take advantage
of this opportunity and see this won
derful production. 1t Is the most
powerful moral lesson ever conveyed
in moving pictures.
Owing to the length of the produc-
ton, there will be but two showings
tonight at 1880 and 9:15. A special
musical program will also be given
tonight by Agnes orchestra. The
usual price of 10c for balcony and sc
for gallery will be charged, but owing
to the expense Of this big production
it will be necessary to make a price
OF 20 cents for the main floor. Don't
miss this wonderful production.
In answer to a number Of inquiries
from our patrons, why they don't see
certain popular stars in one reel pro-
auctions at the Grand any more, it can
best be answered by referring to the
statement of one of the leading pro-
ducers published in the Moving Pic
ture World. Their salaries have reach
eu such high proportions that it does
not pay to employ them in one reel
productions. For that same reason
the Grand has established an all fea-
ture service. Productions in which
you will see, not only the famous
moving picture stars, but the best
stars of the legitimate stage as well.
Tomorrow night we will present the
beautiful star, Lillian Russell, in the
famous racing drama, "Wildfire.' This
is a production that should attract
capacity houses for all performances
tomorrow.
Thursday will be shown the two
popular serials, Runaway June" and

addressed a good audience upon

Governor Brewer was introduced
by Honorable George T Mitchell

in the state since he became

Piano Recital

A prominent place in the mu-
sical world is predicted for Miss
Erin Ballard, who appeared on
FRIDAY Afternoon, March Il, at
the Comus Theatre, before an
apprecative audience in piano
recital.
In program so varied and
charming throughout it is rather
difficuIt to discriminate as to the
choice of numbers. In the first
group, the 'Maiden's WisE" BY
Chopin Liszt, was perhaps the
favorite, and Rachmanlnoff's ;
Prelude" in the last group,
displayed much that was desired
in the way of techn que and in
terpre tation.
Miss Ballard's gifts are pro-
nouncedly superior, possessing
genius, temperament, ambition,
everything, in fact, that goes to
make an artist. Her whole soul
is music and with it all she has a
most attractive personality and a
charming stage manner quite
unusual in one so young. Miss
Ballard was enthusiastically re-
ceived and warmly applauded
and was presented with numerous
offerings of beautiful flowers.
After the second group OF
numbers, Mr.. Wood pleased the
audience by singing most de-
lightfully two solos, with Miss
Ballard at the piano. Here again
the young artist displayed much
talent, playing the accompanl-
ments with sympathy and under
standing.
The success of the occasion
was largely due to the efforts of
Mrs. w. B. Troy, Sr., who's ex-
ceilent management along such
lines is so we'll known.
Miss Ballard leaves in a few
days for New York, where, un-
der the direction and chaperonage
of Nine. Blanca Randall Rey-
nolds, she will pursue her studies.

Circuit Court

The March term of the circuit
i court convened Monday morning
with Judge Claude Clayton pre-
siding and District Attorney
Bratton and County Attorney
!. Rankin representing the state.
The other officers. G. W. Long,
sheriff, J. w. Hoyle, deputy.
w. w. Thompson, circuit clerk,
and Lunn Powell. deputy, were
in their respective places.
Judge Clayton, in clear and
forceful manner, set before the
grand jury the great RESPONSE
bility resting upon the individual
members of that grand inquest.
He called attention to their du-
ties as citizens and the manner
l in which under their oaths they
would be expected to discharge
the responsible duties resting
upon them. The infractions OF
the law which il becomes their
duty to investigate, the judge
called attention to specifically
and urged upon them that
they had obligated then selves
by their oaths to not present
anyone through malice nor leave
unpresented anyone Though fear
or favor.
A number of ladies who have
taken an interest in the cleanup
movement in Tupelo. were pres
.ent to hear the charge of the
judge. Judge Clayton called at
tention to the fact that these
ladies had had the court house
thoroughly cleaned and he urged
that those who attend court
should observe the rules of sani-
TALON and cleanliness and refrain
from splitting upon the floor or
despoiling the building by un-
thoughtedlysp splitting in the house.
He itaplored the crowd to OBJ
serve those rules which governed
them in their own homes where
the good housewife makes every
effort to keep the home in per-
feet order.
Judge Clayton's charge was
not only listened to attentively
by the grand jury, but also by
the large crowd present to wit
ness the organization of the
court.
Robert Burt, of Verona, was
sworn as foreman of the grand
Jury and the same oath admins
tered to him was administered to
the other members of the grand
jury.
Following is a list of the grand
Jury:
