ADJUSTMENTS
LAST DAY TO
SEE DOUG" IN
GREAT PICTURE

This is the last day to see Douglas
Fairbanks at the Colonial theatre in
his latest and biggest and best pic
ture. Ever since the production
opened on Christmas day. the theatre
has been crowded to capacity. 1t 10
believed that the Aim will surpass all
local records for attendance and His
Majesty the American" Is fully worth
it. In addition to this. the second ep-
isode Of Lightning Bryce" the new
serial which started last week will be
shown. Jack Hoxie and Ann Little
have never appeared in anything bet
ter than this and wolf Nights" the
episode for this week shows them
performing new stunts.
His Majesty, the American" is
Fairbanks at his best. Can more be
said?
Much has been expected Of the pic
ture, for it is the first production to
be released by the Big Four"-the
United Artists Corporation Of which
Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin.
Douglas Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith
are the guiding lights-and all the
promises Of better pictures" are
more than realized in the initial Of
fering of the big, new company.
His Majesty, the American" tells
a story that demands Fairbanks for
it's Interpretation. 1t is the tale Of a
missing heir to the throne of a myth
ical little kingdom in Europe. Doug
is the missing heir. Of course, but no
one would ever suspect it-least Of
all, Doug himself. When we find him
at the beginning of the story. an ex-
citement-loving, thrill-craving, adj
venture seeking gay young New
Yorker. we are totally unprepared for
later developments, and his journey
to Europe and his capers with royal
ties and revolutionists is a treat in
deed for fun-lovers.
The production is sumptuous; It
must have cost a fortune to make.
The cast supporting Mr.. Fairbanks is
Of exceptional ability all the way
through. Dainty little Marjory Daw
could make any one fall in love with
her, and Frank Campeau was never
more viIlainous. Lillian Langdon,
Sam Sothern, a younger brother Of
the famous f. H., Albert McQuarrie
and Jay Dwiggins are but few of the
players who contributed splendidly to
the entertainment.
And novelties! My, but Doug and
| his director, Mr.. Henaberry, must
have been brain weary when they
| finished devising the new tricks and
stunts with which the picture
| abounds. There seemed no let-up;
| Doug just hoped from one tight cor
ner into another-and always came
up with a grin. He has a way of

USED WOMAN TO
HELP HIM STEAL

Innocent woman has suffered many
times at the hands of an unscrupu-
lous man, but in "The Little Girl God
Forgot" which will be shown at the
Augusta Opera house for the last
times today. Lucy Barlow (Leona
Hanson) is called on to be the tool of
Adrian Morris lWilliam Laveau) who
is known to the police as Tango, a
society thief who operates only at
swell" functions.
Nancy Barlow (Ann Kingsley, the
little girl that God forgot, is an err
rand girl in the shop of fashionable
modiste. When her mother died,
Nancy, though younger. promised she
would look after the welfare of Lucy
Naturally, therefore. when Norris be-
gins to pay attention to Lucy under
the guise Of an artist, Nancy
keeps watch. All of them go
to a party given. at a settle
ment house conducted :. by a
wealthy society woman and many So
cial leaders attend the function. Tell
ing Lucy that he had made bet with
a friend that he could steal a SIS, 900
necklace from one Of the women,
Morris secures the aid of Lucy, pur-
loins the pearls and gives them to her.
The police take up the trail and it is
only by combination Of circum-
stances and the help Of good friends
that the name Of the girl is cleared.
AL. Luttringer as Tom Ralston. q
youth who has been betrotiled to
Lucy when both were. children, but
who is really in love with Nancy, has
a mighty interesting role. The other
members Of the company are found
in congenial parts and the play easily
ranks as one Of the best given by this
talented organization since it came
here fourteen weeks ago.
And Of course Elsie Ferguson who
is the star in great Paramount Art
craft picture also on the program has
made big hit.
It 10 called Counterfeit. and pre-
sents the star as a Southern girl Of
excellent family who Is Influenced. by
the impecunious state Of her affairs
and the offer Of a large reward by
the Secret Service to undertake the
task Of rounding up band Of coun-
terfeiters. Not only does the story
bring out Miss Ferguson's SURPRISING
ability as an emotional actress, but
also in the scenes in the homes of
Newport society enhances her repu-
tation as "the best dressed actress on
the screen" A delightful love story
and some pleasant comedy have been
into the plot. David Powell
has the leading male role and the
cast also includes Charles Gerard and
Helene Montrose. The story was di-
rected by George Fitzmaurice.-Adv.

STATE HOUSE

The requests for my last years
automobile plate number" are still
pouring in at the office of the secre-
tary Of State, chiefly from those who
were cognizant Of the new law relat-
ing to that subject as we'll as having
received a letter and blank applica-
tion from the secretary Of State
weeks ago and having neglected to
comply with the simple requirements
necessary to have their number re-
served for them.
The automobile business in Maine
has grown far beyond the belief of
the most sanguine when registration
was first made compulsory. 1t is a
great business. The department now
has the registration operation down
to a science and the great spring and
summer rush of work is turned off
with wonderful celerity and correct
ness. The department is also willing
and anxious to give every accomo-
dation possible in securing a desired
number for each and every person
wishing such a favor, has done so in
every instance and will continue,
but there is a limit beyond which it
cannot go.
Therefore, those persons who ne
elected TO file their application be-
fore the first day Of December for a
reserved number, must now take
their turn with the issue of the serial
numbers-and about $500 sets of
plates have already been sent out.

ARBUCKLEH HERE
ON MONDAY

Fatty Arbuckle will be at the Co
lonial theatre again on Monday. His
new picture is "Hayseed" and it is
said to be even better than the last
one in which he was seen here, Back
Stage" which fairly convulsed the
audience. There is no comedian more
popular than Roscoe Arbuckle be-
cause he is naturally funny without
being foolish. "Hayseed" will see
him at his best. In the play he is a
rural free delivery carrier with head
quarters in the rear Of q country
store where he picks up odd change
as a clerk. Another feature on the
Monday bill will be Tom Mix in "The
Speed Maniac" a mighty stirring

In the city tournament the luck of
the draw placed Condor, the veteran,
and Wenzler, the kid, in opposite ENDS
of the bracket. Both moved along to
the s%emifinals, whereat Condor droppd
out. tojoin the gallery, Business inter
ests called the old from the city
and rather than default on the last day
he stepped aside "a hours in advance.
The kid, therefore, missed a chance
to pay back a compliment of the spring,
but took on D. S. Weaver instead and
romped home in a canter.
In the state meet at Knoxville he met
his chance however and quickly made
the best of it, humping off his ancient
rival in jig time.
The next day he pulled down the
silver cup in the finals and placed it
alongside his other trophies.
No other champion-in tennis, base
ball, boxing, swimming, or football
established as clear a claim to supre-
macy in his chosen field.
Add to this the fact that he not only
won the state hunt, but was also med
-alist in the same affair and you have
additional glory for the youngsters
record. For rarely indeed does a med
alist maintain his high standard
through tournament play.
