Pioturized from the famous
novel by Anatole France, ",Thais"
lis the offering at the Majestic
/, theatre on Feb. %, both at mat.
inee and night. All seats will be
reserved for this show. 1t has
Mary Garden in the leading role.
In this iO-reel film spectacle,
Goldwyn picture, the renowned
prima donna makes her first APP
pearance as screen actress.
4 The story is that of the ancient
courtesan who is finally spirit
ualized through influences of the
Christian religion. The actress
gives a portrayal of the character
at once vivid and volupLuonsI AL
ways the dramatic ability of Mary
Garden has been recognized, and
F, it is this ability which makes it
possible for her to give a re-
strained and simply effective i'm
personation of That's. 1t is in the
later scenes of the film drama
that her work stands out most
conspicuously. 1t is in the ancient
city of Alexandria where the ac-
ton takes place, and in the rich
ness of the settings the atmo-
sphere Of antiquity is faithfully
presented with prodigal wealth
4 of historic elaboration.
About the only difference be-
tween Mary Garden in "rhais"
and Theda Bara in CLEOPATRA, :"
is that Theda wiggles and Mary
don't, but at that you will all
agree that it is a great picture.

Last Night
SOME TRAINS DETOURED

Thespreadng of the rails last
night on the Coast Line about a
mile north of this city caused seven
or eight cars of Express No. SO to go
off the track at Toisnot trestle. The
cars were on theother side of the
trestle while the engine to the south
bound train was on this side.
The embankment is quite high at
this point and some Of the cars slid
ed down the embankment 1t is a
wonder the crew were not hurt. The
The express messengers jumped
from the cars and one of them had
slight scratches of consequence. The
fact they were steel cars prevented
their utter destruction and loss OF
life.
The train was due at S:l5 and
was about on time. 1t was in charge
of conductor Weatherby. Lated in
the night one OF the cars which con-
tanned little of value having been
unloaded it is said, at Rocky Mt.
caught fire and the contents We're
practically destroyed.
Thetrains were all delayer. The
southbound track was entirely
blocked and was until about three
this afternoon. The north bound
track was clear at ten o'clock and SO

toured over the Seaboard Air Line

MAY REQUIRE MAKING
BUILDING PANIC PROOF

Raleigh, n. C..-According TO a
recent decision by Supreme Court
Justice Gavegan of New York, the
State Industrial Commission has it
in its power to direct that owners
of buildings make them panic proof
even if previously freproof.
The decision is quoted from in
part as follows:
"The reasonableness of the CON-
missions orders depends directly or
the question, Is the building safe
from the danger of panic? Panic
may result from causes not confined
to factory building itself, nor af
fected by its fireproof character. I,
may be caused by smoke alone, OF
by fire in a building adjoining or in
the immediate neighborhood, or by
a confagration, or by a hostile at.
tack in time of war from land, sea
or air or by earthquake, or evengby
false alarm" r :.
The decision, says the School
Board Journal. points out duty OF
school boards, to make schoolhouse'
not merely safe against fire. but also
against those emergencies which re.
quire sure, quick and unhindered
egress by corridors. sairs and ext
doors that cannot fail.

UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN


At the American Rel Cross War
Council meeting today the follow
ing official minutes were adopted
The War Council of the American
Red Cross urges the utmost cooper
alton from chapters and members
throughout the country with the
Unitel War Work campaign during
the week of November IL to Is
which ! sto be held in support OF the
seven recreational organizations en-
dorsed by the National Government.
These organizations are OF inestl-
mable importance and every Ameri-
can citizen should support their cam
paign generously, wholeheartedly
In line with he above appeal the
War Council calls the attention OF
the A. r. c. Chapters, workers and
mem bers to the staement of Assist
ant Secretary of War Keppel pub
nshed in the official bulletin of Sep
tember 18th, as follows: 1T is nat
ural that the organizations RESPONSE
bic for providing recreation facilities
to troops merge their campaigns in
asmuch as they are engaged in
common program OF service. Bal
ancing this united drive in the fall
for these organizations there will be
q Red Cross drive in the Spring
In view of the foregoing and in or
der to eliminate confusion A. r. c
War Council will not authorize cam
paign for 4. r. c. funds for national
organizations directly or indirectly
during Unitel War Work campaign.
That campaign is for specific pur-
poses and is entitled to present its
appeal to the American people anil
70 have that appeal receive complete
and generous support. The response
10 the A. r. c. appeal last Spring was
approximately $17S,000,000. The
demands on the A. R. c. are enor-
nous; much larger than anticipated
and these demands are increasing
The organization, nevertheless has
sufficient funds TO finance all re-
| 1,,ir alt tn
As yet II is impossible to estimate
the opportunities and obligations
; which will confront the A. r C. in
the New Year but the campaign for
, funds will be necessary in the
t Spring. 1t is also felt by the War
: Council that he A. r. c. appeals for
funds be regarded as essentially for
= relief and should, as in above state
ment by war department. be made
on distinctive occasions. The A. r.
! G. g chartered by Congress as a ma
tional agency for relief and is re-
sponsiole to the National Govern
nlent for financial administration
3 The membership numbers nearly
thirty million Americans. The War
Counil feels, therefore. the pubs
: should be free to make it's response
to the A. R. c. appeal directly and
exclusively and not through war
chest" or in combination with other
J appeals for funds.
