NINE. KAL|CH
APPEARS IN A
MASTER DRAMA.
Greatest Tragedienne To Be
Seen in Her First Great
PhOtOdrama.
Greatness Undisputed.
She Is Bernhardt's Only Ri
val; Is TO Be Seen Only
in William Fox Films.

Bertha Kalich, one of the great
est of actresses and the only dra
matte artist in the world who cal
be seriously onsidered as the sue
cessOr to Sarah Bernhardt, has
signed a contract with William
Fox to act before the motion pic
ture camera and appears IN the
recently released photodrama
ISLANDER.
This dramatic celebrity, whose
own personal story is as compel
ling and vltally interesting as the
greatest role she has ever por.
trayed on the stage, has entered
whole heartedly into work,
which, If predictions may be in
dulged IN, will even increase the
reputation and fame which are
hers as the result of the many i'm
pOrtant achievements of her past
stage career.
Nine. Kalich has been much
averse to appearing in motion pic,
lures until she felt very certain
that the picture plays selected for
her were of the quality and type
designed to introduce her favora.
bly, to the American photoplay
public and in such a way as to add
to her artistic achievements.
After weeks of negotiation with
William Fox and others-several
producers held ont tempting of
fers-she reached the decision
that Fox pictures provided her
the finest opportunity for growth
in an art with which she has been
but slightly familiar.
And 10 fulfill his promises from
the beginning Mr.. Fox has order
ed that the first production for
Nine. Kalich be of greater excel
lence, in the point of lavish and
costly mounting, than any picture
he has thus far made.
Her entry now into pictures un-
der the William Fox management,
where great attention is paid to
the selection and the stag ing of
strong emotional plays, gives real
promise that In photoplay Nine.
Kalich will become even a greater
artist than before.
In addition to appearing under
Harrison Grey Fiske's manage
ment In "MoDna Wanna" Nine.
Kalich also played the part of Mi
Ram in "The Kreutzer Sonata"
Marta IN the Spanish drama,
Marta of the Lowlands;" De
1resac's "Oora," Therese In
'Therese Raquin" and in "Sappho
md Phaon," all of these being
Flske productions. In vaudeville
Nine. Kalich appeared in a drama
ic sketch, "The Light Of st. Ag
les," which introduced her to a
till different type Of American
heatregoers and greatly increas-
I'd her popularity.
Everywhere she was balled as
n artist Of great emotional
,ower, who was bound to become
me of the dominating women of
he American stage. Throughout
score of succeeding plays, some {
successful and others {
ither moderate successes or
lnancial failures, Bertha Kalich I
'ermanently established herself. |

Picnic Club Enter
tainS Friends

A picnic dinner on the beautiful
Ewing Lawn Tuesday was a feature
long to be remembered by those
favored with an invitation from the
Picnic Club which number just thir-
teen. Hammocks were hung in
shady places. Tables and chairs were
ready for duty, the day and the
place were ideal.
The charming hostess of the day,
Mrs. Whiteneck, and her assistants
served a delicious two course dinner
to thirty five appreciative guests.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hultess and sons of
Mellen were the guests of Mrs.
Farnsworth.
The only regret of the occasion
was the absence of Mrs. Ensign and
her husband.
The club members are: Mrs. Vic
tor Bailey, Mrs. L. H. Clark, Mrs,
J. w. Crabtree, Mrs. Frank Ensign,
Mrs. A. L. Ewing, Mrs. Mammie

board. Congress is not to blame ex-
cepting for a ridiculous practice
that has come down from the days of
the city's founders.
An open automobile leisurely roll
ing down the avenue attracted my
attention last evening. Only one
person out of a score or more with
in sight, turned to look at the occu-
pant, large, smiling gentlemen,
whose past public titles run a yard
long, but who is now a quiet ordi-
nary citizen. Whenever President
Wilson's closed big limousine goes
rushing past-it always rushes-
with q trailing car carrying secret
service men, heads are turned on all
sides, but after he is out of office for
two or three years he will create no
more stir than does Ex-President
Taft who was the occupant of last
nights automobile.
Even DR.. Mary Walker with her
mans suit, silk nat and umbrella,
creates sensation every time she
walks down the street. She is now
about 70 years of age or more, and
as you may remember was once CIV
en- official right by Congress to don
masculine attire because of her dis
tinguished services as nurse in the
civil war. Her eccentric garb al
ways catches the eye, but Elk Presi-
dent Taft with all his titles and hon
ors was practically unrecognized
along the avenue in a city where he
had lived for years. Of course, he
is highly honored on all occasions

Whats DaE'&eRin 8 &c Hole

The Daily Town Talk, Of Alexandra,
this afternoon in an editorial asks Mr.
Parker the following questions:
VIII Mr.. Parker please explain in his
speech tonight why over three hundred
negroes nave applied Tor registration IN
Rapides parish since he announced his can
didacy. And why q committee Of negro
voters have called on the register and OBJ
tanned a list OF the registered negro voters
in Rapides parish, and called OF The sheriff
and inquired what negroes had paid their
poll tax SO that they could apply for regis
tratlon and if successful be qualified IT, vote?
" This condition has not prevailed in
Rapides parish since 1893.
. In the two years prior to the candidacy
Of John NJ. Parker, less than q dozen negroes
had applied for registration.
The foregoing dispatch to the Daily
States from Alexandria shows which way
the wind is blowing.
The Progressive leaders will promptly
deny responsibility Cor the political activity
among the negroes. They may be perfect
lY sincere In declaring that they do not de-
sire the negro vote.
Nevertheless every negro who gets a
chance viii vote the independent demo
cratic ticket. If there is anything that a
negro loves better than straightout republi-
canisni it is Independent democracy"
The negro. possesses unelring intuition
in sizing up the politics of independents. /"
He knows that the independent demo
Gratis are republicans in masked parade.
He will get his mans on the registration
books if he can and he will vote the hide
pendent ticket; and 20 can smoke it that
ii this independent NOV ment wins the ne
gro will be in politics to- tay there until he
is shot out just as he was in the past.

''The kindness and courtesy of MIR.
Scott towards those associated with The
Bank, as well as towards the patrons there
Of; his jealous care for the institution, Oh
one hand, and his unfailing fairness, in ms
relation to those dealing with it, made him
a valuable asset for the institution-one
whose loss it is hard to replace.

The Mississippi legislature is consider
ing bill to prohibit absolutely pistol toting
in that state. The bill to prevent cigarette
smoking has been put to sleep; the bill to
prevent sale of Coco-Cola is still pending.
We have lost sight Of the bill making it
penal offense to have more than one quart
of red liquor on ones premises. It looks
like the Blbo administration is determined
to iegislate the ten commandments, and a
few Others, into the Mississippians. Let the
good work go on. If the people wont be

, After two weeks operations around
Verdun the Germans seem to have made no
material gains. Thousands Of lives have been
sacrificed to no avail. In fact the attack is
significant Of but one th;ng-the wanton
disregard Of human life by the German
officers. This sacrifice of fighting men is
the very thing that Is most desired by the
Allies. The loss of a German soldier can
not be replaced, while the Allies can find q
man for every gun. The attack on Verdun
Will be as disappointing to the Germans as
was the first march on Paris.
