And what a blow! Gentle Zudora, a

Mrs. Ramsey came in.

"But they didn't take the diamonds"

In Nine. Du Val's salon there was
rather an animated scene.
1t appeared that Zudora was not
easily to be frightened by threats.
At the instigation OF DR.. Mum two
nurses had buifeted Zudora without
success. The two women had seen
tears form in the girls eyes, but her
lips had remained uncompromisingiy

Mrs Leslie Carter, who plays the
iedu III 1eOISe hlelneS Deautlful SIN
part film, "Du Barry" from the
famous play, wears a number of ex-
penSive gowns that are sure to attract
comment by the feminine portion of
the audience. The total value of three
of these dresses exceeds $4,000, and
as they were all purchased in Europe
where, we are told, laces and brocades
grow luXuriantly in their wild, native
state, it is difficult to say what would
be their cost in New York City

in the country and while her singing
is artistic, yet it is such that everyone
with only a comparative amount OF
musical knowledge can greatly enjoy
her singing.
Mr. Hugh Anderson, basso, is nc

in the Metropolitan Conservatory OF
Music, the Illinois College of Music
and has made scores of recital engage

America.
Mrs Muehling and Mr.. Anderson

The management of the Novelty

Coming to Hip.
It has been the fashion of late, to
picturize the work of famous authors,
art in The Spoilers from the book
by Rex Beach, in most spirited and
vital fashion. This moving picture
play, in nine reels, had its first public
presentation at the spacious and beau
tifuI new Strand theater on Broadway,
in New York City, and has continued
there as the feature, arguing for it's
protitablenesS and popularity. 1t fol-
lowed this success as a regular fix

ter, on Michigan avenue, Chicago,

trimmed with fourteen ornaments.
This gown was designed at the fash
ionable Worth establishment in Paris
and cost 1900 francs, or $1,000 in
American money. This is by far the
most elaborate costume ever seen in
motion picture, yet to masculine
eyes it's intrinsic value remains a
shrouded. impenetrable mystery.
The entire production is character
lied by lavish expenditure of money
and a close attention to detail which
makes it an extra ordinary example of
the modern tendency toward the beau
tiful and representative in pictures.
''Du Barry opens at the Hip the
alter Monday matinee for three days
engagement.
At the Iris
This afternoon and evenings exhibit
lions will close the run of "A Gilded
FooI' with William Farnum in the
title role. Without doubt one of the
greatest motion picture productions
ever made. The wonderful acting OF
Farnum and his leading lady, Maude
Gilbert, together with an excellent
cast make this subject a rare treat.

The significant voice of the great
centers, where this picture. has show
ing, speaks for this production, which
undoubtedly will become a phenome-
nal attraction wherever presented.

days, commencing March IL, 1915.
At the Orpheum.
One of the worlds greatest comed-
ians comes to the Orpheum Monday
and Tuesday. Lew Fields of the fam
Gus team of Weber & Fields stands
as a peer in the art of a mirth envoker.
VIM. Brady presents this star in a
comedy drama entitled "Old Dutch"
by Edgar Smith, in six volcanic parts.
The story tells of an old Dutchman
who invented an instrument, which,
attached to a telephone, enables one
to see the party to whom they are
talking. The first payment for this
invention comes in the form of
check which the Dutchman promptly
loses. This leads to many complica-
tons which form the basis of many

Wednesday this house will have an
entire change of film, featuring that
old familiar song, Where Is My Wan

Citrus Canker Organisms Live in
Soil.

The bacteria which cause citrus
canker are capable Of living in the
soil after the infected citrus trees
have been destroyed. This fact has
been brought out by Investigations of
the Plant Pathology Department o.
tire Florida Experiment Station and
by observations of the employees Of
the State Plant Board. Wilmon
Newell, plant commissioner to the
Board, calls attention to a striking
instance of the ability of the organ,
ism to live in the soil. In a field
where canker trees were destroyed in
July, small trifoliata sprouts were
found recently which had just come
up and which had canker on them.
'In view of this dangerous phase Of
citrus canker Infection" said Mr.
Newell, "the State Plant Board has
consistently prohibited the planting
of any trees or crops of any kind OIL
ground where citrus canker has oc-
Cured, until such time as the Board
considers the land free from danger
of the infection by the canker or
ganisms. Land where infected trees
have grown should not be planted to
any crop whatever and should not
even be passed over or entered by
people or livestock" -AgriculturaI

CRESCENT CITY NEWS

Mrs. Park Trammell, wife of Flori-

here by the end of the week to be the
guest for week or more at the home
OF her father, Mr.. 7. C. Darby, Sr.
Gov. Trammell has written that if
possible to arrange matters he would

visit being over Sunday, to deliver an

conditional acceptance. Since hear

that instead of an address at the Bap-
fist church, that the auditorium be
secured and that there be union
meeting of the other churches. There
is no doubt that in event Gov. Tram
nell comes that larger audience
room than that of the Baptist church
would be needed to accommodate the
people who would be anxious to hear

POLICE TO PATROL DEPTHS
Cops Who Can Use Diving
Helmets.

New York policemen walk the earth,
and when Broadway rocks shift they
venture into the subterranean; they
rove the seas in their launches and
patrol boats and on several occasions
"Mile-a-Minute" Murphy drove an aero
plane for the department, states the
Press of that city. Now the land I'M
der the water is to come under police
control. Police Commissioner Arthur
Woods announced that fact when
asked for volunteers for a divers
corps.
He sent out an order in which he
asked for the names of men of the de-
partment who have had experience as
divers-not the trick kind, but those
who go down with helmets. He knows
that many of the men in the force have
had some kind of training for the work.
He wants to select four for the work
of searching for bodies and other sub
marine duties.

Big-Eared Holy Man.

Major General Hiraoka, who has
just come back to Japan from the
Island of Formosa, declares that the
late revolt had curious origin.
1t appears that a rumor gained cir
culation among the aborigines that in
the mountains had appeared sage
so holy that his ears hung down to
his shoulders, and so wise that he was
even better fitted to be the ruler over
the aborigines than Baron Goto. A
local prophet assured the natives that
this mysterious parsonage was the
heaven-ordalned emperor of Formosa,
and that If they did not rise at once
to do battle for his cause they would
regret it all their lives.
They rose, fully expecting that Big
Ears would come to their assistance,
but were disappointed.

Canker in St. Johns County.

The st. Augustine Evening Record
of Monday says:
"a. E. Booth, a member of the CT
trus canker inspection staff of the
Florida Plant Board, has been in the
city during the past two or three
days looking for canker or suspicious
trees. No citrus canker has been
discovered in st. Augustine, but Mr.,
Booth has found few cases in ST.
Johns county. All infected trees
were promptly burned and as far as
possible he is acting upon instructions
from the plant board and burning
trees that are under suspicion-that
during the past two years have come
from a well-known Florida nursery in
which the canker was first discover.
