Neither Sisler or McInnis played and so

is something of shock for those who
predicted that when the Athletics first

likely that Mclnnis felt keenly his as

Thrown this year with hitting club,
McInnis has been breezing along at a
remarkable pace. Since the season OPP

has hit safely at least once in every
game played. That gives him record
of having hit safely at least once in u

Sisler is leading the league with an

with .3S2, and Speaker follows with
.373.

BEST THEATRE.

Tomorrow-It is still a question
whether the farewell banquet given
June Caprice's company Of Fox play
ers by Chattanooga was the biggest
night in the little stars life or the
greatest night in history Of that city.
Miss June and her troupe had spent
several weeks in the southern city,
making the exterior scenes of "a
Child of the Wild" When Manager
Harper of the Hotel Patten heard his
guests were soon to return north, he
hurriedly got up a farewell recep-
ton.
The big night came. The ballroom
of the Hotel Patten was packed The
mayor was there; his aides were there;
the elite of Chattanooga was there.
And then the fun began.
Members of Miss June's company
thought they would monopolize their
little star. They had signed her up
for every dance. But they hadn't
heard of the tapping system" in.
vogue in Chattanooga.
According to the rules of tapping"
one must release his dancing partner
when she is tapped by someone else.
The result was that the Fox players
had about ten steps of each dance
with Miss June.
During the dancing someone discov-
cred that June was wearing the gown
she wore in "a Modern Cinderella"
The word was passed around and when
all adjourned for refreshments there
were cries for speech from the "Mod-
ern Cinderella"
Now, acting for the screen hadn't
given June much practice in speaking.
But she paid the price of her popular
ity. Then with her mischievous look
she called for her screen hero, Frank
Morgan. Poor Frank came and stood
abashed before the little star.
The crowd was hushed. 1t knew
something was going to happen.
Frank stood there kicking the soft
carpet. June looked demurely up into
his face. Then came the hit of the
evening.
Begin your Romeo Stuff" said
June, quoting caption from "a Mod
ern Cinderella

Caprice fans roared.

THE CRISIS" FAMOUS
CIVIL WAR SCREEN DRAMA
Coming Here With Symphony Or.
chestra and Military Effects.

It is indeed an i'll wind that blows
nobody good. In the big fire in
Jackson Monday which destroyed the
Majestic Theatre, the films of 1.-THE
Crisis" the tremendous, spectacular
screen drama of the Civil War which
has set all Mississippi aiame with
cagerness to see it, We're consumed.
New prints could not be received in
time to fill some of the scheduled city
dates of the widely heralded photo
play, throwing out of gear the regu.
lar itinerary for a couple of days.
On this account 1.-THE Crisis" will be
shown here on Monday night, Feb
f1ary ~, at the Grenada Opera
House. with full military and light
ing effects and the magnificent SYM
phony orchestra which renders the
Nowschine-KOehler score composed
especially for the picture. This I'M
rrecedented luck for this section
enables us to see "The Crisis" even
tefore Memphis or New Orleans,
where it goes into the most fashion
able theatres.
"The Crisis" tells the story of
Civil War days when feeling ran
high 'twixt North and South, with a
startling climax of the historic siege
Of Vicksburg, showing fighting by
land and water, in which every COM
,any of Mississippi militia were en-
pioyed in securing the big battle
scenes. The old time river gunboats
we're reproduced and take part in the
battles, while the fighting by land
occurred on the same spots as the
real battles took place in '63.
In making this great picture, which
takes almost three hours in the show
ing, 5000 scenes were photographed
and 5000 people employed. 1t cost
4 quarter of a million dollars and re-
CURED a year to make. In one bat
tie scene alone $500 of powder
was shot away. However, the story
is far from being all of battle. 1t
follows the original Winston Church
hill book closely and pictures rather
the contrasts of the period from go
to '65, while unfolding an absorbing
in our National lives, which left a re-
country. Il
Prices for the engagement at both
the afternoon and night perform
ances will be the same as in the
