kawa. But the real purpose Of this
story by Charles Sarver does not
stop at opportunities to the featur-
ed actor, for it also present the
producer with OCCASIONS to effect
forceful drama and great pictorial
beauty. "The Soul of Kura-San" is
drama turning about a japanese
artists determination for revenge
upon the American who betrayed
and caused Kura-San to take her
own life. There is continuous inter-
est here. Also there is real punch.
Though most Of its actions takes
place in the Flowery Kingdom and
there is equal use Of interior and
exterior settings, here is picture
which, produced in California, fair
ly breathes out the atmosphere of
Old Nippon. See it at the Evange-

When "Peg O. My Heart" j.
Hartley Manners comedy Of youth
comes to the Evargelinc theatre on
Thursday, theatre goers will have an
opportunity of seeing one of the
greatest successes Of q decade. 1t
is comedy quite different from the
average play. It is free from the
everlasting discussion of capital and
labor or the so-did exploration of
social sin, and has for its theme the
experiences of a poor young Irish
girl who is suddenly introduced into
the house of aristrocratic relatives
in England. The play teens with un-
usually clever and humorous situa-
tons and tells charming love
story. Oliver Morosco is responsible
for the production Of Peg, which
is a comedy gem.

TWELFTH EPISODE

The young Indian chief who had
found the girl Gloria, tattered run
away. lost in the everglades, and had
tried to marry her. had been the cause
of her falling in love with Dick Ere
nau. After five years the Indian was
still only q poor Seminole selling his
wares to Palm Beach visitors. But
Gloria had loved and lost, had been
the unwilling object Of Freneau's In
trigues and the helpless witness Of
his murder.
Now the chief had attacked the only
foundation of her trust in Freneau.
The Indian had laughed at Gl0ria's
story Of the courage Of Freneau and
rad given the credit for the battle
to Doctor Royce. The young chief
was in danger of uncOnsciously de-
stroying the romance he had uncOnsci-
ously begun. Doctor Royce had dis
claimed the credit. and Gloria had
been overcome with remorse at sus-
pecting Freheau.
Still, the suspicion rested there. 1t

''Of course; glad enough to have

Gloria received the proposition Ian
guidly, but consented to be taken
along. When they arrived at the
courthouse they entered Judge Free
mans room. He donned his judicial
robe and they followed him to the
bench, where chairs were placed for
them on either side of him. Every
body in the courtroom rose as the
Judge entered and then sat down with
him to the banquet of justice. Gloria
sat at his left, and frequently he
leaned toward her, explaining . case
or answering q question.
She became at once another Gloria,

man documents spread before her.
Sometimes the row Of faces seemed
like her childish memories Of the

the services of his department to
high school principals to aid them
in obtaining engagements for COM
mencement speakers. Mr.. Harris
proposes to take over the response
bifity Of obtaining speakers for
every high school in the State and
thus systematic the work. The high
schools experience considerable diff
ficulty in making such engagements
each year. Often several schools
seek the same orator on the same
date, and in many instances a
speaker has to jump from one end
of the State to another to fill en-
gagements to speak on consecutive
nights. This makes a speakers ex-
penses high and is q drain on the
high schools engaging him.
The State superintendent pro-
poses to obtain commencement ora
tors from his department from the
faculties of the State and private
institutions and from the ranks of
the parish superintendent. Speak
ers near at hand will be sent to the
high schools and a regular itinerary
will be made out for each speaker
to avoid confusion and cut down ex-
pense. Mr.. Harris asks all princi-
pals who desire to obtain a speaker
through this source to write to him
