ANN KINGSLEY
SCORES BIG HIT
IN "CAMILLE"

There are just as many Candles
as there are leading women on the
stage. Augusta people we're given
tire privilege-and it was a privi-
lege-of seeing a new Camille Mon
day when Miss Ann kingsley. FEM
mime star of the Luttringer Stock
Co, at the Opera house portrayed the
title role of this world famous play.
Camille" is play that will never
die. Other productions there are
that are regarded as stand-bys, but
none that will be ever fresh. will
ever make its appeal as does Ca
mile" 1t has been many years since
the drama has been given in Angus
ia. 1t is especially gratifying. there
fore, that the Luttringer players who
have been so successful in their other
offerings have seen fit to include the
Dumas story in their repertoire.
The majority of the theatre goers
arc familiar with the story OF this
Molderful play. 1t centers around
h love of Camille for Armand Du-
II and the love for Duval for the
Jnlimonde. But. strange as it may
en-, this woman who has not been
.vgarded any too highly and who
mas been thought to be beyond real
affection is seized with consuming
fire for the man. Her public life is
set aside and she has only one
thought and one aim in life: to love
Armand and to work for him and to
be near him.
! Some Candles there have been
who have been brazen even vulgar.
Others have been of the grande dame
type. Miss Kingsley gives US Ca
mile that is more satisfying than
either Of these extremes: she is a
real woman, gentle sacrificing wo-
man, quiet and even reserved a.
times and not in the least a Haunting
beauty. And then comes the change.
When she feels that Armand has
grown cold and that he no longer
/ loves her. she plunges into her old
| life with a hectic abandon designed
! to make her forget the genuine love
/ she has lost.
! That Miss Kingsley plays Camille
; in a satisfying way is the best COM
pliHlent that can be given her. She
meets expectations and shows in her
every move and every nuance that
She has done more than learn the
lines of the part but has studied the
character.
Al. Luttringcr gives a most capa-
bic characterization of Armand and
at the end of the fourth act. when he.
pricked by jealousy. finds Camille in
the arms of the Count D'Arville he
rises to heights he has not before
attained during his stay in Augusta.

contribute their share to the success

as an eminently artistic as well as
entertaining performance.

MOVE TO REVISE CALENDAR
Advocates of Change Will Bring the
Matter to Attention Of League
of Nations.

One of the first projects to be laid
before the League of Nations, when 1t
gets ready for new business, is one to
revise the calendar and make 1t uni
form throughout the world. Bureau
officials of the United States, SWizer-
land and Great Britain got into touch
with church officials before the war on
the subject of calendar revision, and
have kept up consideration Of the mat
ter since. Church leaders say an
agreement has been reached and a
uniform report Is nearly ready to go
to the league.
The calendar has not been revised
before because Of objections from the
churches to dates for the great re-
ligious feasts. These objections are
said to be removed. A fixed date for
Easter, the adding of a thirteenth
month, the making of every week be-
gin with a Sunday and having exactly
% days in each month-these are the
main features agreed on. Church peo-
pie favoring the revision say that If
the league itself cannot act, 1t can
designate calendar congress to do
so, to sit at Geneva.

SOUGHT TO REACH HEARTS
Doctor Holmes Literary Efforts Well
Described by the Writer Of
"Authors and Friends"

Doctor Holmes social nature, as ex-
pressed in conversation and in his
books, drew him into communication
with a very large number of persons.
It cannot be said, however, in this age
marked by altruisms, that he was al
truistic; on the contrary, he loved
himself and made himself his prime
study-but as member Of the human
race. He had his own purposes to
fulfill, his own self-appointed tasks,
and he preferred to take men only on
his own terms. He was filed with
righteous indignation, in reading Car
lyle, to find a passage where, hearing
the doorben ring one morning when
he was very busy. he exclaimed that
he was afraid it was "the man Emer-
son!" Yet Doctor Holmes was him
self one Of the most carefully guarded
men, through his years of actual pro-
duction, who ever lived and wrote.
His wife absorbed her life in his, and
mounted guard to make sure that in
terruption was impossible. Neverthe-
less he was eminent1y lover Of men,
or he could not have drawn them per-
petually to his side. His writings were
never aimed too high: his sole wish
was to hit the heart, IL possible; but
If shot hit the head also he showed
a childlike pride in the achievement

The building of bridges, the natural

the wars were fought, the methods Of
siege and storm, advance and at

Of ancient military engineering, cos
tune, arms and all implements of
war, all these things are wrought there
with such a wonderful fertility of de-
sign and dramatic vigor Of expression
as to form a veritable encyclopedia
Of Roman warfare Of that period.
The whole Of the column was origi-
