Armenian relief, wish to submit
the above report. On the whole the
people have responded splendidly. AL
most every district contributed more
thap the amount asked for. AS the
report shows, however,, there were
= few districts in which nothing was
enc. One man wrote that in his sec
ton thev had so many things to col
lect for that the people had gotten
tired paying and quit. Most of the
committees, however, did not find this
difficulty, or, if they did they were
enabled to overcome it.
l wish to thank the district chair
men who have co-operatei with me
iii this work, and have given SO lib
orally of their time and effort
wish to thank Mr.. James w. Har-
man, who acted as county chairman.

in the midst of an awful tragedy, yet
he intermingled in all the melee of
gas attacks, flame waves, lombard
mentg, and aeroplane fights Won
derful love story that no heart can
resist

ALA NAZIAIOVA.

ALA Nazimova was born in Russia.
There she first learned to play the
violin, and there she was first seen as
an actress. 1t was In tho Russian
language that she first made a furore
in the New World to which she came
for wider field for her genius. But
in America, in the English language,
she has scored her greatest triumphs
and now it is in America, in the silent
art Of the screen drama, that she has
reached the topmost pinnacle Of sue

"HEARTs OF THE WORLD"
w. GriiIith's Great Picture Play
Here Next Thursday.

Hearts of the World" the d. w.
Griffith production that required lS
months in the making and which is
declared to be the masterpiece of this
dramatic genius, surprising both "Thc
Birth of Nation" and "intolerencc,
will he the attraction Mt the New
Theatre ut Tazewell Thursday, Feb
ruary 18th. There will be one matt
nee and one evening performance. A
special symphony orchestra will rem
der the enthralling score which so en-
hances the effects Of this superb pro-
duction.
That "Hcarts of the World" has
established new high record for cv-
en- Griffith production may be gain
ed from the mact that it has been
shown in Chicago, New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and other cities upwards
of more than six hundred times Mt So
prices. That it is u most unusual
achievement is evident from the an
nouncement that David Lloyd George
and other high officials of the British
and French nations not only gave Mr.
Griffith their most hearty co-opera-
tion in the taking of the principal
scenes, but personally appear in the
play.
Contrary to the general opinion,
this latest of the Griffith works is not
q war play. 1t is described by Mr..
Griffith himself us "The sweetest love
story ever told" 1t was written by
CASTOR de Tolignac and translated
from the French by Captain Victor
Marier. The story is il two parts,
the first revealing the life of an or
dinary French family befor the war
and the second the experiences of
these people when the great conflict
ended in victory for the allies.
The majority Of the scenes in the
"Henrts of the World" are described
as great moving paintings that might
have been conceived by the worlds
greatest artists, their beauty and
grandeur far excclling anything ev-
er before attempted by the master
hand of the indomitable Griffith.
d. w. Griffith's Hearts of the
World" has an unusually ambitious
orchestral accompaniment, acore
that has been made up from patriot
ic music, symphony and grand opera
selections. Two major themes, "Con-
naie tn le pays?" from "Mignon,"
and a popular musical comedy number
called "It's Il delightful 10 be mar
ricd." sung by Anna Held several
years ago, are used most effectively
in "learts Of the World"
Some idea of the scope of the mu-
sical accompaniments for Hearts of
the World" may be gained by men
tion of the various selections provid-
ed for the better Interpretation of
the picture.
From Grand Opera have been Gull
cd selections from "Lohengrin," LA
Tosca," and LA Fanciulla." From
Puccini, brief byt effective passages.
The Chopin nocturnes are used but
little. The Light Cavalry, the Mar
seillaise, the Star Spangled Banner,
America, and other patriotic music
plays major part in the interprcta-
tion of the tremendous battle scenes.
The orchestra of Hearts of the
World" gets brilliant color for all the
scenes throughout the performance of
three hours, the selected musicians
fine balance and a keen
sense of the accuracy needed to fol-
low the rapidly moving story.
The advance sale of seats for the
Hearts Of the World" is now being
held at Jackson's Drug Store.

tions; He was the friend ond counsel=
or OF all it's members, every one of
whom will feel a personal bercavc-
ment in his taking away.
DIR. Arrowood was an unusually
versatile man. He was good schol-
er, a sympathetic and wise pastor, a
leader in all the courts of his church,
a delightful friend and companion and
q careful and wise administrator in
all his business affairs. He had al
most reached his Goth year in age,

Reports from the county state that

a telegram last night from Sheriff L.
p. Payer of Mcintyre. verifying the
statement of Cummings several days
ago that he is a fugitive from Geor-
gia.
The telegram also bore out Cum
mingS admission that he was known
in the south as Wright Strawther.
The sheriff concluded his telegram
with these words:
please wire collect when I can
come and get him."
Local detectives said there is slight
chance for the Georgia authorities to
get Cummings Immediately, for de-
spite that he still denies he committed
the crime at Jericho Park last Sunday.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Garrison of
Prince Georges county has obtained a
warrant charging Cummings with the
murder of Peter.
Mr.. Garrison visited police head
quarters yesterday to get the correct
spelling of the three names which the
cOiored man has given. The sheriff
probably will go to Annapolis early
this week.to get papers from the gov
efnor. ASKING the District authorities
for custody of Cummings.
Detectives continued to question
him all day yesterday at one of the
precinct stations, but at a late hour
last night they said he still denied
knowledge of the crime.
