Perhaps he had felt my heart

Notable Offering al The Gem.

It is seldom nowadays that a cast
of we'll known actors and actresses
appear in such a perfectly balanced
assemblage as in the film version of
Clyde Fitch's sensational success,
"The City," which will be the offering
at the Gem tomorrow. The City
Is heralded as one of the most mem
Orable screen attractions to be pre-
sented here this season, embodying
as it does theme of tense and grip
ping drama, abounding in situations
that rise to the most poignant heights
of the playwright's art, enhanced and
made more vital by all the additional
elements of life and action impaired
by the possibilities Of the camera and
the screen.
In addition to Thuriow Bergen. in
the powerfully sympathetic role Of
Banker Rand, there appears William
III ileg ateh r which;
character he adds another careful
study to those which he made in sup
port of William Gillette, E. H. Soth-
ern and other noted stage stars. Bes-
sic e. Wharton, delightful and
finished actress, as Mary Hall, Rand's
cast-off light O. love; Dick Stewart,
an exceedingly popular juvenile star;
Mae Edney and Frank Goldsmith, the
latter former Frohman leading man
of exceptional brillianee and expert
ence, complete the roll call of the
principals, but in the ensembles
with which the picture abounds hun
dreds figure, as for instance in the
great ballroom scene and the portion
of the film depicting the famous curb
market during big furry in steel.

MOUNT HouMAs STOCK FARM.
Hogs, Cattle and Horses Being Bred
on Ascension PIantaE zion.

That there is d future for live stock
development in the sugar cane par
| Iishes of Louisiana is being demon
stratea by the Colonial Sugars Com
pany, large holders Of sugar lands IN
| several parishes on the east bank of
the Mississippi. The firms Mt. Hou-
mas plantation, IN Ascension parish.
within the past two years has been
converted into q live stock farm.
where in prior years it was strictly a
sugar property. The development in
cattle and swine has been rapid and
promises much for the future.
c. N. Wogan, general agent Of the
Colonial Sugars Company, informs
Modern Farming that they now have
on Mt. Hounas Ats head Of cattle al
together, Of which 133 are grade
Herefords The Hereford is the
breed to be specialized in, with view
to developing IN the breeding game,
and on the plantation are Is register
ed cows and 5 registered bulls, all
very Eigla-class animals About 500
head Of hogs are also being raised.
Instead of fattening cattle for. the
market, feeders are butchered at Mt.
Houras and shipped by train down
the river to the big sugar refining
plant owned hV the Colonial Sugars
Company, in st. James parish. At
the refinery there is. refrigerating=
plant with a capacity equal to storing
six to seven careasses, and most profit
able disposition ef the beef and pork
as we'll is thereby effected.
Mr.. Wogan reports that they are
also to enter into the raising Of
horses and mules on Mt. Hournas
plantation, and d good start in that
direction has been made by the pur-
chase of 90 Pereheron mares, ,slay oaI,
selected within the past several weeks
by the herdsman, G. B. Pittman, on a
trip to the west. In this acquisition
of draft horses, they are being used
to displace mules in the working of
the crops raised on the property.
And with the double utility Of breed
ing and working, 1t is to be expected
that the initiative taken by the
Colonial Sugars Company will lead,
in time, to the adoption of the idea
by numbers of other Louisiana sugar
firms in the working of their cane
crops with draft horses from which
they can secure horse and mule colts.

"Ghosts" at the Gem Today.

.sGhosts," a fiye-part Mutual Mas
terpicture adapted from Henrik Ib-
sens immortal drama, will be the at
traction at the Gem Theatre today.
This vivid play is presented by an all
star cast, headed by that great mo-
tion picture actor, Henry Walthall,
who plays the part of the degenerats.
Alying and his unfortunate SO
The production is superbly staged and
costumed, and holds the audience
speilbound from first scene to last,
not only by the plot and action of the
story-or rather it's wonderful mes
sage-but by the tremendous force of
the acting and the artistic beauty of
the pictures. An outline of the play
lis as follows:
Alying, dissolute rake, dies Of his
exaesses, leaving son, Oswald, who
grNws up into a young man Of excell-
en{ habits and morals. Oswald's moth
er has been warned by the family ply
sician that the son might inherit the
vices of the father, but she ignores
the advice AS Oswald merges into
manhood, however, he begins to show
signs of being mentally unbalanced,
In the meantime his mother, who
wants to see her boy marry early, ar
ranges match with a young girl with
whom he is in love. The physician
arrives at the church in time to pre-
vent the marriage, disclosing the
fact that Oswald and the girl are
brother and sister. The boy is SO
overcome when he learns the truth
that he plunges into dissipation, as
the taint of insanity becomes more
apparent. Finally, realizing he can
not escape the "clutching hand Of
heredity," he dies of poison admin
istered by his own hand.
