"REDEMPTloN" GREAT PICTURE.
True Story of a Woman's Life Pow
erfully Portrayed.

Evelyn Nesbit, whose tragic history
Is known the world over, will be seen
at the Gem Theatre today and tomor-
row in 'Redemption," a nobly beauti-
full and deeply emotional photoplay
which tells with irresistible power of
woman's rise from the depths to the
heights as she follows the star of a
wonderful love. It is more or less
che story of Evelyn Nesbit's own life,
wonderfully transposed and most ably
depicted.
No photodrama produced in years
has met with such universal acclaim
as Redemption" convincing proof of
the tremendous impression it has Gre
ated being found in the fact that it
packed the Cohan Theatre, New York,
to the doors for weeks. Local interest
in this notable production has been
whetted by newspaper comment and
magazine articles which attribute to
it many unusual and appealing fea-
lures. Reviewing the film as pre-
sented at the Trianon Theatre in New
Orleans couple of weeks ago, the
motion picture critic of the Times
Picayune said:
Trianon Theatre has been taxed to its
capacity during every minute of the
presentation of a feature production
as has been the case with the offering
Of Redemption, in which Evelyn Mes
bit and her son, Russell Thaw, are the
star performers. The story is a
thinly-veiled repetition of the life of
Evelyn Nesbit, and it has been sub
jected to such artistic treatment as
has been required to blend the SOM
er and the brighter events in the
turbulent existence of this famously
unfortunate woman. The picture has
an odd effect upon the average patron
of the Trianon. Hardly anyone who
sees it is devoid Of an old-time and
deep-set opinion concerning Evelyn
Nesbit, yet the story is so adroitly
handled and lights of hateful fact
have been so subdued as to accentuate
the truth that the woman is always
the one who must suffer the most
when scandal spreads public feast.
Evelyn Nesbit makes good screen
artist. She has a good screen face,
and whatever may be the idea as to
her responsibility for the momentous
events that have shadowed her life,
one cannot fail to have compassion
for her. She has the hunted, fright
ened expression in her face that ex-
cites pity. It is not q pretty face, yet
there is softness and an appeal in
her eyes that would excite admiration
in a decent man and cupidity in q
brute. One can well imagine how she
might become the victim in a carouse
without being deliberate party to q
debauch. There are hundreds Of Wo-.
men like that who have gone down u11-55
der the stigna A, reprpach HELPLESS,
defenseless ars blameless. Re-
demption' is meant 10 show case Of
this sort, and it Ii film production
that is worth SEEING
The showing Of this superb picture
will be commenced at 2 p. m. each
day, and the prices Of admission will
be 10 cents for children and 20 cents
for adults. In addition to the feature
offering, the program for Sunday will.

"The Winding Trail"

As the feature attraction of its
Sunday program the Grand will offer
Viola Dana in "The Winding Trail," :"
an interesting melodrama notable for
it's excellent Characterization. The
story differs from usual offerings of
the kind by it's lack of romance; the
leading male role being that of an
outlaw who, though affected by the
girls influence, is not regenerated to
The extent of becoming conventional
hero, but is consistently kept to char
acter. There are many strong
dramatic moments. In addition to
her splendid acting Miss Dana again
demonstrates her ability as a dancer.

"The Trouble Buster"

There are 'society" films, films
showing the struggles of the poor to
make a living, and films dealing with
The lives of the ultra-rich. But a
nhotoplay that combines all these
phases Of life and still others is a
rare treat. It is to be found in ''The
Trouble Buster" an attractlvely
cheerful picure starring Vivian Mar
tin. which comes to the Grand Mon
dav. Known to her friends as 1.-The
tJSuble buster" because of her powers
for dispelling gloom, the petite hero
inc of the tale lives up to her name IN
deed and fact.

Allan Colomb Narrowly Escapes Be.
ing ON Torpedoed Tuscania.


The following interesting letter
from J. Allan Colomb, q well-known
Donaldsonville boy who enlisted in
the forestry division Of the United
States army during the early part OF
December, appeared in last Saturdays
issue of the st. James Interim, the
communication being addressed to
Editor E. J. Dicharry Of that paper:
"Dear Mr.. Dicharry:-You must
pardon me for not writing to you
sooner. I have been really soldering
since I left Louisiana.
II was assigned to the Fifth Bat
talon, goth Engineer Corps, when !
arrived in Washington, and was I'M
mediately sent to Belvoir, Va, where
the Fifth was in training. | put in SIX
hard weeks there, zero weather all the
time,
sour camp was right on the banks
Of the Potomac, which was frozen
solid. However, / was soon acclimat-
ed, after curing two bad colds:
1.-THE Fifth was real lumber
jack outfit. Nearly all the men were
northwestern loggers and sawmlli
men. I met several whom I had work
ed with in Oregon, Q couple Of years
ago; in fact, four Of these did all the
forestry work for my company.
Gas I said previously, we were
there six weeks, when we received
our sailing orders. The day after we
got them, some fellow in our bar
racks had an attack Of spinal menin-
gifts. His bunk happened to be in my
end of the building. The Medical
Corps, as matter Of precaution, had
eight of US shipped to Walter Reed
Hospital, at Tacoma Park, where we
were put under the strictest quaran-
tine, in fact isolated. We were just
released yesterday, February 2, and,
to our disappointment, found that the
Fifth had sailed Monday.
"Am stationed at the American
University now, and have been as
signed to D Co., Of the Tenth Bat
talon, am trying to be transferred
to the Seventh, which is ready to sail.
Perhaps I may be able to rejoin my
old outfit when get 4over there.
"With best wishes,
"Yours very truly,
"J. ALLAN COLOMB."

A Hint to the Aged.

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or two days, they would
recover much more quickly, especially
il they take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. There would also be less
danger of the cold being followed by
any Of the more serious diseases. (ad. }

init you can see a vast extent of the
surrounding country and all of Rio.
Before / made the trip was always
getting mixed up in my directions in
Rio, but after that / could go any
where. We were in Rio SO long ! be-
lieve / know it better than New Or
leans. The trip by auto for five
hours takes you through the most
wonderful scenery you ever want to
see. I have heard people who have
travelled through Switzerland say
that the scenery in Rio passes it
by far. The only thing that bothers
us here is the language, which is all
Portuguese, but what little French
know has helped me out lot. Their
unit of currency is the milreis, little
more than our 25-cent piece, but to
buy anything is job. Prices are out
of proportion. The only thing that |
found cheap there was cup Of black
coffee. The price is 100 reis, or about
Il 1-2 cents. For change they have the
100, 200 and 400 reis pieces of nickel,
and the $780, 1000 and 1000 reis
pieces Of silver, also bills Of various
denominations.
"Brazil is a wonderful country, il
| it was only developed, but conditions
are such that capital has not come in
as fast as it would have done had the
taxes, duties, etc., been more reason
able. Another thing thing that that helds them
back is the lack of fuel, all coming
from England and the United States
Coal in Rio is selling from $50 to $50
gold per ton. At that rate there
would be no profit in the manufac,
turing business, and the same thing
holds good throughout all the South
American republics.
