SAM DAVIS PICTURE SHOWN AGAIN TODAY AT THE JEFFERSON
Dramatic Story of Confed- crate Hero Told in Films. Shown Under Auspices
 of Camp Wilcox

In order to accommodate the hundreds drama sam, Davis,' depicting the life of one of the nations greatest heroes arrangements have been made for four exhibitions Sunday There will be two matinees at 2;3O and o'clock, and two evening performances at and 9:9C o'clock. -I e. -
 The picture is classed as a great his- torical portrait of one of the most dra- matic incidents of the civil war. The execution of Sam Davis, the Tennessee boy who was one of Coleman's Scouts has been the theme of story and poetry during the more than 50 years that nave elapsed since the day he was hanged at Pulaski, Tenn.
 By agreeing to betray a friend he could have escaped the death penalty that had been imposed upon him by a federal courtmartial. He had been cap tured with important papers and plans of Qualifications, which showed that they must have come from 8 traitor within the federal ranks. He was promised liberty on condition that he give the name o1 the traitor. but this he refused to do.
 In the filming of Sam Davis," the producers were lucky in the availability Of the exact locations where the great drama was enacted. All of the buildings and scenes of that stressful period, 5C years ago, stood as they stood then Many were alive who remembered the events, and the picture is an authentic story of that tragic spot in history, which stands for true heroism.
 The cast in the play is a strong one. Well known players were engaged for the leading roles, and several members of the Davis family appear in the picture. More than 300 persons were used, and the production is said to be an excel lent one. ...-,.-.-s.-,.

FATHER OF ART PREsERvATIvE

Johannes Gutenberg was born in 400
in Mainz. He was known as a man of
considerable mechanical knowledge. In
his early life he was teaching the art of
cutting stones. After a ten-year absence
he returned to Mainz, about l444. In
l449 he entered into partnership with
Johannes Faust, q wealthy business man.
About the invention of movable types
by Gutenberg little is known How
ever, it seems reasonably sure that with
the aid of his associate, Faust, n printing
press had been set up in the year l449.
This printing press, however simple
and primitive it was, lis the true fore
runner to the present time highest per-
fected multi-colo press of some $4,000
individual parts and capable of turning
out hourly 10000 sixteen-page sections
printed in four colors, or, with an hourly
capacity of 100000 eight-page papers,
folded, cut, pasted and counted; and this
wonderous development, without the in
vention of movable types, could not have
taken place.
With the art of printing begins n new
area of human progress. Without it
education would still be the property of
selected few. The popularizing of art,
science, history and technique was rem
dered possible thru the ever improving
printing facilities. 1t is for this rea.
son that mankind owes to Gutenberg so
much. He died in 1868.
