interest in the great events that led up to and terminated the Civil war. The force that slavery played in pro- ducing this crisis is traced from its in- ception to it's abolition. While the basic theme is historical in it's foundation its intent is the fundamental one of true drama. The forces which make for these results have been marshalled upon a larger scale than was ever dreamed of before.
 Where directors of vast spectacles have dealt with hundreds in the past, Griffithr employs thousands Eight cen thousand people fill his stage, which has vast territory for it's back ground. Three thousand horses pass before your. view in wild dashes over miles of country roadway. The decisive battles of the Civil war are reproduced in faithful detail and you see those conflicts fought again just as they were staged 50 years ago. Cities were built up only to be destroyed to lend force and variety to the dramatic mar rative.

DEMAND WITHDRAWAL

Brailovsky and other speakers demand el that the allied powers withdraw their troops from Russia, asserting there can be no peace there until the present regime is permitted to pursue it's way unhindered toward the solution of the manifold prob 1ems which confront it.
 A resolution was adopted calling upon the allies to return immediately all ships now in their hands which formerly flew the Russian flag. This step should be taken, it was declared, to provide trans portation facilities for the. thousands of Russians in this country who want to go home as soon as a stable government is established. This could best be accom- plished, speakers argued, by recognition of the bolshevik soviets.

"His Bridal Night"-Jefferson

Laughs, catchy music laughs, novelty dances, laughs, pretty girls and more laughs are the ingredients of His Bri- dai Night" in which Sheridan Twins are the stars, which comes to the Jefferson Friday and Saturday, matinee Saturday, of this week. The Sheridan sisters take full advantage of their twin-like resem- blance and skill. It is scarcely necessary to warn you that it tells of a youth who has married one of two beguiling twins and after the wedding is puzzled to know which.
 The comedy was written by Lawrence Rising and has been revised by the expert Margaret Mayo, who displayed an apti- trde for naughty farce when she launched Irwin Beds on it's most prosperous ca reer. MT. Frederick Bowers is responsible for the music, which is of the whistling variety. Victoria Gauran, the prirna donna of the company, has the most won- derful soprano in musical comedy and the balance of the company cannot be ex- celled. And there is a chorus that in beauty rivals that of Dillingham; or Zieg- field. All of the above was told in the strictest confidence by the advance agent.
