not unduly excite even the most captious
censors.

vance synopsis of it here is inadvis-
able and would detract from ones
later pleasure in seeing it, since much
OF the interest of the development OF
the plot on the screen hangs on a
thread of mystery and surprise that is
spun out, with clever producing touches,
to the very end of the story
If it were necessary to pick one out
standing feature from the many ele-
ments of greatness that this proauc-
ton embodies, it would unhesitatingly
be the emotional power of Bea.riz
Michelena's acting. Miss Michelena's
impersonation of Kate Wilson in this
picture is her greatest achievement
since forsaking opera for the screen
Every critic who has reviewed the film
has declared her work a marvel in
clares that: volumes would made
quately describe her wonderful Ior-
trayal of the woman" while such pub
lications as the New York Telegraph,
New York Mail, Moving Picture World

photography, New York Clipper etc,

words of commendation

to the general character of the story.

THE BIRTH OF A MAN
AT THE ODEON TWO
Leftwich An
nounces Final Performance
of Notable Production

Manager I.eftwich of the Odeon Two
theatre announces for today The Birth
of a Man" five-part Celebrated Players
production, in which the Mansfield of
the Films" Henry B. Walthall, is starred.
The Birth of a Man will be shown at
the Odeon Two theatre today for the
last time through popular request
The Birth of Man is unquestion-
ably one of the most powerful photoplay
dramas ever released. From the first fash
on the screen until fms is written, the
story is convincing and appealing. Henry
B. Walthall plays the leading role and
his artistic effort is another testimonial
to his wiZardry
The story deals with a young and idle
millionaire who receives a cablegram ad-
vising him to leave for Paris at once
in order to seize the opportunity of pur-
chasing a greatly coveted rare canvas.
Before he leaves he calls to see the girl
he loves, but his appeal for an imme-
date marriage is rejected because the
girl realizes that money is the only God
he worships. BY a matter of seconds he
misses his train. A taxi driver, in league
with gang of crooks, offers to take him
to the next station and instead drives
him to a tramps retreat, where he is
held up, knocked insensible. his clothes
taken from him and tramp's dirty suit
substituted. A lighted cigarette care
lessly thrown away sets the place on fire.
A fight to get out Of the blazing shack
follows in which scene Walthalrs acting
is superb, tremendous, almost terrifying.
Nothing greater can be conceived, mag
ined or desired.
Disfgured and exhausted by the fire
and his fight with the thieves, his hair
turned gray from the shock. he finally
escapes and wanders for three days IN
the bleak hills He manages to ha
to his home town, but TRANSPORTED. no
one recognizes him.
The final scenes are replete with In
terest, leading through climax after cli-
max, dramatically showing a series of
powerful incidents.

DESTROY the COTTON STALK
An Effective Method Of Boil Weev'l
Control.

Experiments have proved that one
Of the most effective means OF boil
weevil control is the early destruction
of the green cotton stalks. This early
destruction Of the growing stalks 20
complishes three things:
% Destruction Of all immature
weevils in hollis and squares.
(2) Destruction Of all food sup
plies for adult weevil. compelling all
these weevil to do without food until
cold weather forces them into hiberna'
ton. This makes the adult weevil g
into winter quarters weak from star
walton and in bad condition to with
stand the cold.
90 Destruction Of all breeding
places. This early stalk destruction
duplicates in large measure the ef-
fects of freezing temperatures.
In order to make cotton pronta-
BILE crop, the best cultural methods
must be adopted and all means OF
controlling weevil damage must be
USED faithfully alld persistently.
Early destruction Of tue green ana
growing stalks is the first step.
Where the farmers have the neces-
sary tools, the best way to handle the
stalks Is TO chop them up fine with a
stalk cutter or disc harrow. Then
pillow under as deep as possible, thor
oughly covering all Of the chopped
stalks. If possible, plant some win
ter cover crop on the land, some OF
the clovers being the best for this
purpose.
The next best method Is to cut the
stalks, and pile and burn them as soon
as the leaves, stems and squares viii
make a quick blaze. Don't wait un
til all the stalk is dry, or the weevfl
will all have Matched and most of the
labor Will be In vain.
The effort Of each individual farmer
in destroying his stalks will be pro
ductive of some good. Community CO
operative effort, however, is what IS
required to meet this situation in the
best possible way. II every commrn
| ity in the cotton section Of the state
would destroy all cotton stalks. by No
vember 1, at the latest. 1t would be
worth thousands Of dollars to the cot
ton industry in larger yields mex
year. I'm union there is strength.
Let every community get together and
do this Job. Mason Snowden,

University.
