Manager George Appleby of the Au-
gusta theatres when he was asked to
tell the story Of Douglas Fairbanks
latest picture, Ills Majesty, the
American" which will be given at the
Colonial three days, beginning
Thursday.
Nov. am not going to spoil the
anticipation Of my patrons by telling
the story Of Douglas Fairbanks new
film. His Majesty, the American in
advance. But I will say this: Fair
banks has spent more money on this
picture than he has ever spent before,
because he has made it for release
direct to the theatres of the country
by the United Artists-the Big Four
which is made up of Mary Pick
ford, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fair
banks and D. w. Griffith.
1.-The story of His Majesty, the
American is a knockout 1t gives
Doug a chance to do lot of entire
ly new tricks and l don't hesitate to
say that the picture is far and away
the biggest production that he has
ever turned out.
I'll let this much of the secret out.
Doug plays the part of a young
American who simply can't keep out
of trouble. He takes a hand in all
sorts Of situations which lead him all
over the world. We find him first in
New York where he tries to show the
Fire Department how it should be
run. We find him helping the police
raid the den of a king of the UNDER
world. We find him later in Mexico
showing the bandits what they don't
know about their business and then
we find him butting-in on the affairs
of a little principality in Europe. It
is the jolliest mix-up you have ever
seen in your life.
Another city of an entirely differ
emit character was built in the hills
surrounding the Douglas Fairbanks
studios. Here the action demanded
a Mexican village and a Mexican vii
lage Doug built.
Still another episode demanded a
New York tenement street and
Doug built it.
Supporting Mr. Fairbanks in this
production are Marjory Daw, Frank
Campeau, Lillian Langdon, Albert
McQuarrie and Sam Sothern. famous
New York and London actor and
brother of E. H. Sothern, who makes
his first screen appearance in this
picture.
II do not. want to say anthins
more at this time except that we
have got a genuine treat for our

ADJUSTMENTS
Officials Verify
Truth Armenian
Girls CHARGES

Auction of Souls" the stupendous
moving picture that will be seen al
the Colonial theatre for the last times
this afternoon and tonight has the
unusual distinction of having a lead
ing woman who actually enacted the
original scenes which the motion pic
ture reproduces. Miss Aurora Iardi-
ganian, the girl who has the leading
role, is not a. motion picture actress
but was induced to act for the films
just what she personally passed
through in Armenia in 1915.
Miss Mardiganian's inexperience
before the camera is not apparent in
the picture for she holds up her own
end as we'll as any of the regular ac-
tors. Perhaps her art is that born Of
the vivid memory of the horrible
scenes through which she passed be-
fore escaping from her native land to
come to America for further relief.
She is the daughter of a. former
prosperous banker at Harpout, and
was thirteen years old when the war
broke out. Being beautiful girl she
attracted a Turkish official who
wished to make her his wife, impos-
ing upon her his own religion and the
lowly state of Turkish women.
Her father refused to give her up
When the massacres of the Armen-
ians started, carried on by the Turks
under a secert agreement with the
Germans, the Mohammedans made
furthels efforts to get possession Of
the girl. Alters seeing her father
mother. two brothers and three sis
tiers brutally slain, she entered upor
series of adventures which prove
the life may be more exciting thar
the widest dream of the fictionist.
She goes through an untold sue
cession of horrible scenes, escapes
from the Turks, is captured by the
wild kurds of the desert, sold as q
slave, put in a harem, takes refuge
with monks, and at last is saved by
the British, who sent her to America
where she has talked and written Of

''The Little Girl God Forgot" mod
ern society melodrama that has a
wealth Of human interest. 1t was re-
ceived with such acclaim all through
the International circuit that en-
gagements were prolonged. The story
is a strong one and there are num-
Der of sensational incidents that
ought to bring an audience to it's feet.

Girl Takes Blame
To Save Lover

A most unusual series of events oc-
ours In Under Arizona Skies" the
thrilling story Of the Mexican border
which will be seen at the Augusta
Opera house for the last times this
afternoon and tonight.
Mendoza (William LaveauD, who IS
the lover and the first husband OF
Papeta (Leona Hanson), q Mexican
woman who has been married to
Steve Morton (Al. Luttringer). is
killed by his wife when the two meet
and quarrel in a lonely cattle shelter.
The woman makes her escape and
Elsie Randolph Tam Kingsley, loved
by Steve. finds the. body when she is
seeking refuge from a storm. While
she is standing over the body. Steve
comes to the place. and picks up the
pistol used by the. murderess. He
naturally thinks Elsie. because Mem
doza has insulted her. has Killed the
man while she. because. Steve has
warned the man to keep away from
the ranch thinks he Is the murderer.
When others come, Steve says he did
it. 49, I
OF, course Morton is arrested and
when later he is about to be led from
the ranch: house, Elsie, anxious that
he should be saved, claims that he did
not do the shooting but that she did.
All. the while, ,Papeta, who is the wife
of Steve, laughs at them both. The
situation is a most awkward one for
both the young. people. How the
mystery Of Mendoza's death is I'M
travelled proves one of the most dra-
matte incidents yet seen on the Opera
house stage.
Under Arizona Skies" has proved
a mighty entertaining play and those
who have seen it have declared that
it is one of the very best yet given
by the Luttringer Stock Co.
Harry T. 'Morey, the big Vitagraph
star who is appearing in Beating the
Odds" which is a feature at the
Opera house in addition to the spoken
drama, has one of the greatest roles
in his screen career. He is seen as
collector of graft in the underworld
of a great city, but always according
to his own code ION the. level
Forced to flee, he gets into business
gives up all his old associates for love
of girl and wins a fortune and the
esteem of all who know him.
Then into this life there suddenly
comes the woman of his old life as
the new wife of the father of the girl
he is about to marry. He would
spare her, but dare he speak lest the
other woman speak also? How he
loses all through this other woman
and how he finally beats all the tre-
mendous odds against him, give Mr..
Morey splendid opportunity to show
his dramatic power as an actor

Washington, Dec. 23.-The Supreme
court recessed until January 5, without
handing down an opinion on the con-

stead prohibition enforcement act af-
fecting The alcoholic content Of beer
BEFORE announcing the recess the
court ordered the government to show
cause, on January 5, why original 70
ceedings should not be instituted by

termined the constitutionality Of the

Injunction against its enforcement in
those states were presented last week.
In both instances the amendment was
alleged to conflict with the state police
powers and with the federal Constitu-
ton.
In ordering the government to show
cause, the court according TO govern
ment attorneys, followed an unusual
procedure, as ordinarily in such in
stances permission to bring such pro
ceedings is given and a cate fixed
when they are returnable.
The court, however, was generally
believed to have been prompted by the
fact that as the amendment becomes
effective on January 16 next, the pro-
cedure followed would expedite mat
tiers.
