LOCkE'S FINE ABILITY IS SHOWN IN "ViVIETTE."

The delicious flavor of William J. Locke's novels, their delicacy and charm, as responsible for the fact that when they are scenarioized for motion pictures they display a novelty that is essentially unique. The man who created 'The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne," The Beloved Vagabond," /" "Septimus," "The Fortunate Youth, 7 Stella Maris," which was recently picturized for Mary Pickford with ex- traordinary success, and Simon the Jester.' may be trusted to tell good story in sprightly fashion no matter what subject he may choose to write upon.
 In "Viviette," which has been pro duced for Paramount with Vienna will be shown at the Coliseum Thea tre for Saturday only, he has pie tured a girl of vivacious tempera- ment and coquettish disposition who causes much turmoil when two brothers and a young Lord fall in love with her When given situa tion like this. Locke is thoroughly at home The manner in which this great story has been transferred to the screen by Julia Crawford lcers is a guarantee that it will be pleas ing.

THOUGHT-POWER AND FATE" WAS SUBJECT OF
 LECTURE LAST EVENING

Thought is a force as certainly as electricity, is the view of MT L. w. Rogers who is giving a course or theosophical lectures at the Masonic Hall, and who spoke last evening on "Thought-power and Fate He said that hypnotism is proof that thought is a force Ii it were not, 1t would be impossible for the hypnotist to make his subjects body either rigid or limp as he willed. Taking up the effect and influence of thought and the reactions from it. the lee turer said that man was thus con stantly generating a force that may shape the life toward greater free dom or forge fetters that would limit it's future. There was no sucn thing as accidental happiness. II was a state of consciousness that each could attain if he learned how to control both thought and emotion MT. Rogers will speak on "Tht Science of the Soul" next Sunday at A. B. Hall.

ture. It would be incongruous, for instance, in depicting mountaineer of the Kentucky mountains, to cast a man for the part that was short and fat, one with a Hebraic visage. a man of Italian or Teutonic ancestry. The Kentucky mountains have popula- tion which is almost 100 per cent pure American in ancestry and the dominating strain of blood is Scotch Irish and English.
 In casting the part of Bad Anse' Havey. the feud leader in Her man, y the splendid drama adapted from Chas. Neville Bucks novel, "The Battle Cry" therefore, Director Ralph Ince had to use great care to get an actor who ill face and physique was of the true mountaineer type. He selected w Lawson Butt, who will be seen at the Orpheum~ for the last time tonight.

 AT THE PALACE.

Broken Ties" telling a remarkable story of the lengths gone to by an at torney to clear his client of a murder charge, will be shown at the Palace Theatre tonight and Saturday with June Elvidge, Arthur Ashley and Montagu Love as the stars. This new World-Picture Brady Made is based on a new thought, the sacred obligation of an attorney to his client to do everything possible for his client, despite all personal considera- tions. Montagu Love appears in this production as John Fleming, the client who has these ideals. June Elvidge is seen as Marcia Fleming, Johns wife, whose plunges into bridge bring her almost lifelong un- happiness. Others in the cast include Arthur Ashley, Pima Nesbit and Alex B. Francis. Naturally with such a notable cast of film favorites, this attraction is played in a perfect man ner. The story thrills and thro5s with excitement and interest. But though the incidents pile fast one lpon the other, the theme is at no lime clouded The climax comes as q distinct surprise. Broken Ties has been staged in a sumptuous man. ner by World-Pictures and the d1rec-
 ion and photography is of the high est possible order, Broken Ties furnishes swift-moving entertainment, with a snap and dash and pep and go about it that will please all those who see it.

JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"
 PLEASES BIG AUDIENCE

Appearing simultaneously in tive roles, Marguerite Clark, the famous Paramount star, was seen with sig nal success in Uncle Toms Cabin, her latest starring vehicle, at the Coliseum Theatre yesterday and to be repeated tonight for the last time, with a matinee tomorrow afternoon The picture, directed by J. Searle Dawley, which is based upon Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's immortal story, proved satisfactory in every respect, a credit to all who appeared therein and a delight to the audi ence that witnessed it.
 The picturization of the famous novel was extremely faithful and it will serve as an educational factor to the masses in that il depicts faithful ly conditions existing in the South just before the Civil War when the shackles of slavery were removed from the black race in this country. In this respect, Uncle Toms Cabin as a picture, is even more satisfying lllOH lnt iiOf U iCPSAt tAiC otci 7 of Uncle Toms Cabin" would be much like carrying coals to Newcas- tie, but it is perhaps necessary to say that none of the beauties or heart appeal of the story have been lost in this sterling screen adapta tion.
 Miss Clark was at her best in the portrayal of Eva, and as Topsy, she supplied an antipodal characteriza tion which was artistic and delight fully refreshing. Frank Losee, as Uncle Tom was excellent, and much might be said of j. w. Johnston as Haley Of the women in the support, favorable mention should be made of the portrayals of Florence Carpen- ter as Eliza, Ruby Hoffman as Classy and Mrs. Priestley Morrison as Ophe- lia. The photography displayed in the picture was of the usual high standard maintained by Paramount in all it's picture productions.

Two New Publications.

Clemson College, October, g.
"Creosoting Fence Posts" is the title
of a new publication by the South
Carolina Experimental Station. 1t
was written by Prof. H. w. Barrae,
Botanist and Director of the Station,
and is published as State Bulletin
POL. It contains discussions of the
kinds of posts used in the expert
ments, preparation, methods, cost,
and results of treatment, together
with tables showing relative econo-
my of treated and untreated posts
and estimates of the life of treated
and untreated posts. The bulletin is
timely in view of the rapid extension
of our livestock industry and the con
sequent need for durable fencing
material.
The other publication is Extension
Bulletin 16, Poultry Culture for
South Carolina" by Prof. F. C. Hare
Poultry Husbandman. This is the
fifth edition of this popular bulletin
and is revised and enlarged, so that
it now treats all phases of the poul-
try industry. Many illustrations help
to make its discussions clear and
forceful.
Both these publications are free
for asking.
