the length Of the parade, it will be
more difficult to arrange the line Of

matter of street decoration, it is the
aim of the fire boys to keep the money
for the decorations at home. The
policing of the city on that day, in
the direction of which Thomas Liv-

partment, will also be gone over. Per

but on a more extensive scale, free
ice water in large tanks will be placed
about the city, and there will be nu-
merouS rest rooms for women and chill
dren. Owing to the immense crowd.
there will be no hall large enough in
which to hold the literary program,
which will doubtless take place out
doors. 1t has been decided that all
the prominent events will take place
on Main street and one of the large
buildings will probably serve as the
reviewing stand.
As evidence Of the increasing inter
est in the auto race, the secretary Of
the Chamber Of Commerce has re-
ceived telegram from Los Angeles
giving positive assurance that 20 cars
from Los Angeles and surrounding
counties will enter the race.
This afternoon the ladies of the fire
department are meeting at the Bar
bara Worth hotel to arrange for the
Fountain Day, which they are to have
on Saturday the 10Th of June at the
Davis drug store through the courtesy
of Mr. Davis.
If plans mature, there will be a repe-
tition Of the municipal street dance,
and there is every prospect of having
2 bands.

made in Imperial valley, but there is
the greater fact that the play is
throughout wholly American.
The story, following the text of the

view, endeavoring to be wholly just
to the North. In the main it is just
and what slight degree it lacks in be-
ing wholly SO is offset by the feel
ing that the South is entitled to hear

If there could also be presented AL

During the rapid rise OF the motion
picture it has been common express
sion that the latest big presentation
was the greatest ever seen, and these
remarks have been true, for the rec
ord has been continuously advancing.
In the case of "The Clansman,' now
running for A days, afternoon and
evening, at the Theatre Tulane, it can
be truthfully said that it not only is
the greatest show yet produced, but
imagination is staggered when it at
tempts to conceive of anything great

The story of "The Clansman" lends
itself re-eminently to the tragic and
the spectacular, while it touches the
softer emotions and brings tears at
times to all eyes.
Even beyond this, there runs the
sense of worthiness as a portrayal
of history and beauty of scenery and
naturalness of incident and of plot.
