Making a Memory.

President Wilson has signed an ex-

Culebra cut 10 Gaillard cut The
great work is thus made monument
TO a faithful American soldier. whose
name is unfamiliar to most Ameri-
cans. but who, SAYS the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. should be known and
honored by all Americans.
Col. David du Bose Gaillard was a
member of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission, and he was specifically in
charge of the central division Of the
zone. extending from Gatun TO Pedro
Miguel He was the man who had
direct charge of the work at Culebra-
For six years he labored in the. IN
healthy climate, persisting in carry
ing through the work he had under
taken in spite of the advice OF friends
and physicians. His health was I'M
der1nined. and he died in 1913. mar
tyr TO duty. and as true hero as
any man VINO ever wore the Uniform
OF the United States,
Inasmuch as Colonel Gaillard' s
name IS almost unknown TO the ma
ton, it IS we'll that his memory be
made certain by an enduring monu-
rnent. and his own work is the great
est and fttest of monuments. JUS

AT THE AUDITORIUM
Pauline Frederick in Sold, and Big
Tabloid Show Today and Saturday.

The Irish and Scotch Tabloid Play
ers will repeat today Shaun's Fare
we'll the Irish farce comedy with
music which made such a hit at all
three shows yesterday. 1t is a very
funny piece full of witty lines, anus
ing situations, excellent singing and
dancing, and runs nearly an hour. On
the picture programme will be the 18th
number of the Paramount travel series
and the extraordinary Paramount five
reel feature Sold, with Pauline Fred
eriCk in the leading role, supported by
a CorMng cast, including Thomas
Holding. Julian L'Estrange. Lowell
Sherman and others equally well
known.
For the settings and mechanical eff
fects of this powerful production it is
but necessary to repeat that the sub
ieCt is presented by the Famous Play
ers Film Co. The idealistic atmosphere
of the artists studios. as we'll as the
convincing contrast between the homes
of the rich and poor painters, has been
skilfully suggested. Another point Of
unusual interest connected with the
production is the fact that it contains
one of the most notable all-star casts
ever assembled in one screen preSen-
tation. 1t includes Thomas Holding,
who also achieved personal distinction
in The Eternal City as David ROssi:
Julian LEStrange, one of the foremost
masculine faVOrites of the American
stage, who will be remembered for his
