Mary Pickford opens three-day en-
gagement at the Majestic today in the
super-feature attraction THE Pride Of
the Clan a dramatic screen version
of famous Scotch story. This Il the
second of the special features made
under the personal direction of Miss
Pickford. AS Marget MacTavish, the
daughter of the Scotch fisherman
Little Mary" has given one of the
most appealing characterizations of
her career. With her personal charm
and attraction added to the quaint
beauty of the lasse of the heather,
whose life is spent along the rocky wave
washed shores of the fisher village,
where it's little huts nestle back in all
the peacefulness and glory of their
kindly inhabitants, Miss Pickford finds
no difficulty in registering q portrayal
that will be immortal in the hearts Of
her admirers.
The story is marked by the simple
LONELINESS of the Scotch men, Their
habits and ways of living, the daily
duties with the net and boat, and the
lireside pleasures forming a back
ground into which has been placed n
theme that plays on the stru" :
emotions, a melody of love a
nance, that has no equal for
and grandeur Of thought.
The picture itself Is a gem of scenic
wonder. For this too much credit can
not be given Maurice Tourneur, the ia

careful selection the settings were
made.

IN MEMORY OF DR..
HOLLIS B. FR|SSELL

(By William Anthony Aery,)
Let de Heaven light shine OH me,
Let de Heaven light shine on ME,
For low Is dc way to de upper world,
Let dc Heaven light shine on me-"
Substituting words are these! They
are, indeed, n challenge to fresh hope
and consccrated service when sung,
by the great Hampton Institute Choir
as of over thousand voices, over
the grave Of Hollis Burke Frissell,
principal of Hampton for nearly quar-
ter of a century, who, though dead,
yet speaks from the Eternal Life and
summons men and women to help
bring in the Kingdom of God
Under clear, Southern sky there
gathered on Sunday afternoon in the
Hampton institute cemetery, where
lie General Armstrong an many other
workers who have been faithful to the
black and led children OF the land, a
company Of influential men and wo-
men, representing several races, i'm
portant business and social interests,
education and religious work. There
were also present some nine hundred
Hampton students who are in train
ing for race leadership.
All had marched in quiet procession
TO DR.. Frissel's grave to pay in silent
devotion, prayer and song their tri---
butte OF affection and to pledge them
selves anew to loyal and COURAGEOUS
service.
George Foster Peabody, of Nav
York, who has served for thirty-three
years as trustee Of Hampton, spoke
on THE More Abundant Life" a
theme which DR., 2Frissell !. preac hed
-ifstlll Isl To- sSai 80 49, u,
II believe as the world needs more
abundant life, we can feel that we
are privileged to have known this
Astounding life and have faith and
courage that our lives may hereafter
be more abundant in the quail
:ty or giving, which was the uniuue
quality OF DR.. Frissell."
The principal memorial service was
held III the beautiful school church,
from which DR.. Frissell had sent forth
thousands of people with a new vision
or life and strong determination to
work together for the good of all
men.
The clergymen who took part in
the devotional service were the Rev.
DR.. Eldridge L. Mix of Farmville, Va,
the Rev. Herbert B. Turner and the

For the ultimate accomplishment
OF all of which, we commend our peo

GIVES GOOD ADVICE.
(Omaha, Neb., Monitcr.)


The Richmond Planet, edited by
John Mitchell, Jr whom we have
never met, but long admired, has a
most happy way Of giving excellent
advice to its, large reading constitu---
ency in terse sentences. Here are two
good examples from its last Issue:
"Saye some Of your money, Colorcd
folks. If it is only one cent per day,
save some OF your money"
when. yo". are tired, rest. When
you are hungry, eat. When you are
illiterate, learn. When you are anx-
ious for a good time, look at your
pocketbook and consider your actual
needs, and pause before you engage in
reckless spending"
- Pretty good advice, ism it?
We are of the opinion that 1t Is be-
cause John Mitchell has practiced
what he breaches that he has been for
a number of years highly respected
member Of the American Bankers
Association.

Samuel c. Armstrong and Hollis B.

Armstrong was the Founder, FRS
sell was the Builder. and the School
Is the incarnation of these two per-
sonalities. Yet never were two person
allties with single aim more distinct
in type.
Armstrong was magnetic, volcanic:
Frissell was reserved, sagacious, pru.-
dent. The gifts of the one were those
or action; the strength Of the other
was in discretion.
initiative, originality, even audac
ity were essential to begin the work
and inspire confidence in it, but
when a great institution had been
established and must be developed
without mlshap, then the time had
come for. a peculiar quality of wisdom
patience, tolerance, and foresight
which could apply to larger tasks the
ideals Of the Founder"
