At the Theatres

Probably the largest and most i'm
portant film company in the industry
to be hit by the recent tax menace is
Jewel Productions, Inc, whose beau
tiful six-act feature Sirens of the
Sea-" will be shown at the Classic to-
night. 1t is said to be one of the most
lavish and costly productions to come
to the Classic this season. 1t con-
stantly employed 1000 persons for the
making and took six months to COM
plete. The underwater diving, swim
ming and dancing achievements seen
throughout are all unusual and are
considered to have reached the zenith
Carmel Myers, Louise Lovely and
Jack Mulhall are the featured players
in the large cast
Probably no star value to equal the
name Of Mary Garden has ever been
presented to the motion picture ex-
hibitors of the world by any photo
play producing or distributing organ
ization. And that this most famous
woman in the world today should have
waited to make her screen debut until
motion pictures had reached a high
state Of technical perfection and had
enlisted the services of the greatest
living authors, is a circumstance that
gives to all Goldwyn exhibitors the
added values of story taken from the
most sensational novel of the nine
teenth century, "Thais," by Anatole
France, at the Majestic Wednesday.
rs it better to bring up a girl in
complete ignorance Of the tempta-
lions and dangers of life or to tell her
the truth and thus induce her to be
on her guard?" is the question asked
by the great Pathe play Innocent
in which Fannie Ward stars, and
which will be at the Majestic theatre
Tuesday. The story is that of a girl,
daughter of a man who had become a
slave to drink, and who saw in him
self such appetites that he determined
to keep his child in seclusion, hoping
in that way to keep her from evil. He
even called her Innocent the better to
express his wish
Helen Greene, the clever young lady
who is playing Leila Archibald, big
sister to Bah, the heroine of "Bab's
Matinee Idol" starring Marguerite
Clarke, has been called an extremist.
When questioned as to the reason Miss
Greene laughed and said: "You see
the other da y l had a severe toothache
and was told it was caused by a wis
dom tooth. The day following /
seemed to be afflicted with a 'footache'
SO they called me the Extremist" Miss
Clark as Bah in the famous Mary
Roberts Rinehart story will be shown
at the Majestic tonight.
Alice Brady in Woman and Wife"
will be the attraction at the Classic
Wednesday. 1t is portrayal of Char
lotte Bronte's immortal Jane Eyre"
a novel which took America by storm.
The character drawing in this play is
most remarkable. About the character
OF Alice Brady, who is the principal
figure in the play, is spread the web of
hardship and temptation that is al
most sure to engulf almost any beau
tiful woman
One Of the largest, most elaborate
and richest furnished sets ever built
at the Triangle Culver City studio was
used for the interior scenes in 'Regen-
crates the Triangle film play at the
Classic Tuesday. The set called for
New York mansion, the home of
proud old family for generations. The
vast Triangle property room was
stripped for this scene.

TIERS MAYORALTY

the Socialist Party In Water
town Upon a Referendum
Vote Of the Party.

]. J. Smith, D. c., who has offices in
the Central block, today announced
that he was a candidate for mayor of
Watertown. In a statement given out
today by Mr.. Smith he says:
Il wish to say that thinking people
have been educated to the fact that
the republican and democratic par
ties represent autocracy, and wish to
have change, therefore, in order to
have a representative of true democ-
racy elected, they have asked for a
socialist candidate for mayor, upon a
referendum voc | was selected. | have

urer have entered the race. Ferdinand
A. Kruger, a former treasurer of the
city, has announced his candidacy as
has also Ferdinand Schmutzler. Mr..
Schmutzier announced his candidacy
on Saturday. He is at present justice
of the peace and if elected to the Of
flee Of treasurer is well able to fill
the position. He served capably in the
city council as alderman some years
ago and will be no stranger to the du-
ties of the position. However, so far
as capability is concerned, either of
the three candidates, Messrs. Meier,
Kruger and Schmutzler, are well
fitted for the place.
Otto w. Bayer, the west side meat
market man, has announced that he
is a candidate for alderman of the
Fifth ward. Mr.. Bayer is a we'll known
business man and a heavy taxpayer
The present incumbent of the office is

JOHNSTON LETTER.
{Centinued from First Page.l

l.. Kester, pastor Of the s.. John
Lutheran church, preached his fare
well sermon.
The union services of the churches
are still had, and as it was known
that there would be very large
crowd to hear Mr.. Hester, he was
requested to preach at the Baptist
church, at which place the service
was to be held.
Every one here loved Mr.. Kester
and his es,imable family, and all
wanted to hear him, and say good
bye. The church was filled to the
gallery. Mr.. Hester left message
of Hope to his friends, basing his
remarks on the first part of the l4th
chapter of John.
After the sermon, Rev. Brooke
said he knew all wanted to say good
bye, as these good people would
leave early next morning, so MIR.
aud Mrs. Hester came to the front,
and every one had expressions or
regret as good-byes were said.
Rev. Hester has accepted church
at Lexington, n. c., very near his
fathers home.
On last Wednesday evening there
were between twenty-five or thirty
who went over to hear DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw, who was to make an
address at the opening session of
the State Federation of women's
clubs. They were disappointed in not
hearing her, one of the most noted
women in the United States, but
they were well entertained by the
other features.
Those going to enjoy the sessions
of the Federation were Mesdames
F. NJ. Boyd, J. A. Lott, P. B. Wa
tiers, J. w. Marsh. L. S. MAXWELL
J. Fl. White, E. 0. Crouch, Miss
CLARA Sawyer and Misses Gladys
Sawyer and Zena Payne.
Johnston having four Federated
clahs gave her large delegation.
The Democratic clubs of John
ston me, Saturday afternoon, and
each elected delegates to the con-
vention in Edgetield first Monday
in May.
The Two clubs here are the Cal
houn club and Lee club, each COM
prising one-half of the population.
1t was discussed as to changing
the names Of the clubs to the John
ston Democratic club, No. and .,
which matter will be proposed to
the executive committee at the
meeting.
The fact that the Rev. Dean
Crane, the chaplain at Camp Jack
son, will preach here on Sunday
evening at the Baptist church, at
the time of the presentation of the
Service Flag, will no doubt draw a
very large crowd.
Messrs. Oscar Wright and Wal
ter Warren are at home from a
weeks stay in Florida, with the
brother Of the latter, Mr.. Scott
Warren.
1t is very interesting to hear
them tell of the trip.
Several fishing parties were had,
and one of the FISH Mr.. Warren
caught, he stated, weighed fifteen
pounds.
