In "The Amazing Wife" Beautiful
Wary MaeLaren lmperson ates
Widow Of Soldier and to Shield His
Mother He Carries on With Game:
Lila Lee Also at the Colonial TO-DAY
IN Gripping Play "a Daughter OF
the Wolf"
Amazing" is very mild word to
use in the title of 1.-The Amazing
Wife," the great Universal picture IN
which Mary MacLaren will make her
deout to an Augusta audience at the
Colonial theatre this afternoon and
tonight. 1t is play that for orig
lnality OF story and situation has
rarely If ever been equalled. It Of
fers something new dramatically that
cannot fail to leave it's impression on
the hundreds of people that will be
on hand to witness it. So beautiful
and talented is Miss MacLaren that
II Is certain she is to become one of
the greatest favorites Augusta has
yet had. ..,. p.
In this. story, she plays the part Of
Clclly Osborne. Because her mother
is dying and she herself is in want,
the beautiful young woman marries
John Ashton, a man of the world. On
their wedding night, he takes her to
a famous road house. There he so
far forgets himself as to respond to
the advances of cheap woman The
woman's escort resents this and
Ashton is killed by the blow of a
bottle.
Cicily, starving and with no where
to &c, is on the point of committing
suicide when she reads that Lieut..
John Ashton has been killed in
France. She decides to pose as the
wife of this other man of the same
name. wins her way.into the grac& of
the aged parents and is acceptedAnd
petted by them. Then comes the
bombshell. Lieut.. Ashton, not killed.
but severely wounded, returns home.
To spare his mother. he accepts Ci-
oily as his wife. Then comes a time
when there must be an understand
ing. What this is is the big climax
Of the story. The photoplay is in six
reels with such gripping suspense in
it's telling that it must rank as one of
the seasons biggest hits.
Another big feature will also be
seen at the Colonial today in "A
Daughter of the Wolf" in which the
winsome Lila Lee is the leading per-
former. The play is a melodrama Of
the most stirring kind, but not Of the
blood and thunder" variety. Rather
it is the type Of melodrama that ev-
eryone desires nowadays. Miss Lee
is the daughter Of the leader Of a
gang Of smugglers. Thrills take
place all through the production and
,,there is story Of the most intense
interest with plenty Of heart throbs.
The pictures for the play, represent
ing the great lumber camps Of the
North. were taken on the roof of
America" the Sierra mountains. so
that II may easily be seer that they
lin themselves are remarkable.

kINGsLEY's TERM EXPIRES
Friends Of Baths Resident Sanitari
an Hope He May Be Retained


an Hope He May Be Retained
Monday afternoons Bath Times
contained the following notice rela-
tive to Resident Sanitarian Chesttl
S. Kingsley of Bath, formerly of THIS
city, which will be of interest to his
many Augusta friends, who hope
that the Bath city council at the
meeting this Wednesday evening will
vote to retain him in office:
Resident Sanitarian Chester s.
Kingsley is preparing to give up his
work here as scientific assistant,
United States Public Health Service,
his appointment expiring at mid
night. and no appropriation has been
provided by the government for con-
tinuing the work further. What the
future action of Congress will be IS
Of course uncertain and it is possible
that Mr.. Kingsley may be retained in
Office by the city government. Ac-
cording to Mayor Drake, Mr.. Kings
ley's position as head Of the health
department comes under the United
States Public Health Service which
pays him his salary. There are many
who believe the health work that he
has been conducting should be con-
tinued and would like to see him re-
tanned even at city expense. There
are others however who feel that
the city cannot afford to pay him
such a salary as he can command.
and while they are satisfied with his
work, feel that If he is retained his
salary should be met by the govern
ment and not by the CITY, 1t is more
than probable that action relating to
Mr.. Kingsley's continuance in office
will be taken at the monthly meet
ing Of the city council Wednesday
night unless previous action is taken
by the federal government.
