NEW THEATRE OPENS

Saturday witnessed the opening of
the New Theatre in Morgan City
under the management of Mr.. Harry
Davis. The offering for the opening
was seven-reel perturbation of the
adventures of Sherlock Holmes and
was witnessed by large attendance.
Sundays production was a five-reel
comedy entitled the Misleading
Lady. Both productions are Essanay
Film Features and speak we'll for the
judgment Of Manager Davis in Sc
curing such splendid service for his
patrons.
"Gloria's Romance" one of the
most noted films of the day, will
probably be the first serial film play
to be handled by the New Theatre.
The date of the opening installment
will be announced soon.

SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS

A fair attendance witnessed the
production of the Shepherd of the
Hills at the Evangeline Sunday
night and those attended were we'll
entertained with the play. The Shep-
herd of the Hills company is made
up of well-balanced cast and some
splendid character acting is present
ed. The play is filled with tense
situations and the dramatization of
Harold Bell Wright's popular novel
of the same name has been cleverly
arranged.
The story of a great wrong and
a greater forgiveness is portrayed in
the Shepherd of the Hills. Many
strong dramatic episodes are dealt
with during the play and a whole
some vein of comedy scatters smiles
throughout the four acts. The last
scene of the last act brought tears to
many eyes which evidenced the able
acting of the company.

The cost Of production was $780,

The first picture was taken May
25, 1916; the last, August %, 1916
thirteen weeks to a day.
The cost of the costumes alone
amounted to $4,000.
John w. Noble was general direc-

Rudolph De Cordova, Shakespear
ian adviser; Edward Powers, cast
ing and costume director; Leander
De Cordova, financial and assistant
director; Harry Sothern, costume
and assistant director.
A scenario made from William
Shakespeare's great drama, "Romeo
and Juliet" was submitted by John
Arthur and accepted; Rudolph De
Cordova modified and augmented
this, and John w. Noble made the
final changes.
All the leading characters of the
play really spoke Shakespeare's
lines while going through the ap-
action. Whenever a !
player forgot a speech the camera
was stopped and was obliged to be-
gin over again.
Several of the greatest theatrical |
families of America and England |

The shortage of cars is still a
completing question among the ship
pers in this section. Those who re-
quire ten cars a day are securing one
or two and many fail to receive this
quota. This in a great measure is
causing the advancing prices in
everything, in general, according to
reports. Spaghetti is so to Is cents
higher than ever before. Octagon
soap 35 cents a case higher. Milk
$1.25 case higher. Eggs are reach.
ing close to five cents each, and it is
predicted that Christmas eggs will be
selling at 60 cents per dozen. Chick
ems, are well up around 25c and .28c
per pound, and so on down the line.
We could quote advances for the full
length of column. Shoes have ad-
vanced $1.25 per pair since last
July. This is the better grade of
shoes, and the cheaper grades have
advanced in proportion. Cotton
goods have in many instances more
than doubled in prices. While car
shortage has a great measure of
this blame, yet it is not altogether
matter of cars, nor is it corner of
the market, it is merely a general
shortage of home supply and an in
creased export demand. So that to-
day there are other things "going
up" besides the elevator.

Prehistoric Reminiscence

When you and l were monkeys,
A million years ago,
We played upon the treetops,
On the coast of Borneo.
You chased me through the forest
Armed with flinty rock;
You bumped my slanting forehead
Till of stars I saw flock.
At eventide we'd cuddle
Mid the dinsaurus's walls;
And just to change the subject
View hang down by our tails.
These were the happy hours
Of pre-Darwinian jape;
When you were but a monkey,
And I simple an ape.-Jhiladelph

American Demand on Germany in
Lusitania Case Granted by Berlin

Washington, d. C.-Germany has
submitted to the United States,
through Ambassador Won Bernstorff,
another written proposal designed to
bring about settlement of the con-
troversy over the sinking of the steam
ship Lusitania, with a loss of more
than 100 American lives.
There were indications here that
the document might bring satisfac-
tory termination of negotiations.
Although the greatest secrecy sur
rounds the negotiations, it is said on
excellent authority that Germany final
ly had argeed to eliminate from the
text of the agreement any mention of
the warning issued by the German
embassy the day the Lusitania sailed
on her last trip from New York.
Mention of this warning is understood
to have been contained in the last pro-
posal, which was rejected after Pres
ident Wilson had considered it.
1t is understood also that Germany
had left out of her proposal general
reservation of admission of wrong
doing on the part of the submarine
commander, to which United States
objected.
Mention of the warning is believed
to have been most Objectionable to the
administration. In effect, it was re-
garded as conveying the idea that no
American lives would have been lost
had the warning been needed.

Five Negroes Are Hanged From
Limbs Of One Tree in Georgia

Sylvester, Ga.--The death of five
negroes, whose bullet-riddled bodies
were found early Saturday morning
hanging from tree near Starkville,
Ga, was held in coroner's verdict to
have been due to "strangulation and
gunshot wounds at the hands of un-
known parties" There was no indica-
tion that any further investigation
would be conducted.
The negroes, accused Of implication
in the killing of Sheriff Moreland at
Starkville, were taken from the jail
here late Friday by small party of
men who gained access to the cells
through a well-planned ruse and
whisked the five prisoners away in
automobiles. They persuaded the
sheriff to open the Jail doors by asking
permission to place negro they
brought with them in cell for safe
keeping.
The negro disappeared while the
sheriff was being overpowered and
efforts to locate him or learn his ident-
ity have been fruitless.

Military. Training at University.

University of Oregon, Eugene.-Mil-
itary training at the University of
Oregon is under consideration in a
committee of the board of regents.
Requests have come from many
sources that instruction in military
tactics be provided. P. l.. Campbell,
president Of the University, suggests
however that State University prepar-
edness work take the form not Of the
usual regimental drill but of. technical
military instruction, such as engineer
ing knowledge, which is always at a
premium in warfare; also in bringing
the students to maximum Of physi-
cal fitness. He suggests "a minimum
of formal military drill Of the old
kind"

Big INCOMES MAY Be TAXED
10 PAY FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE

Washington, D. C.-The income tax
was declared constitutional Tuesday by
the Supreme court in an unanimous de-
cision which swept aside every objec-
tion raised against it, and in the opin-
ion of congressional leaders opened the
way for increasing the tax rate on
great fortunes to help pay for National
defense.
Proposals are pending in congress to
tax incomes of more than 81, 900, 600
as high as 80 per cent. Leaders on all
sides agree that out of the impetus
which the decision will give such pro-
posals is likely to come definite
movement to levy on the revenues
from great private fortunes for some
of the millions the government must
raise to carry out the army and navy
increases.
"The Supreme courts decision has
absolutely unfettered the income tax
as source of revenue" said Repre-
sentative Hull, of Tennessee, author OF
the law. ."All doubt is removed and
