did not appeal to Harold, however,
and upon graduating from school he
decided to try his talents as an actor.
He was decided success on the stage
but the screen proved alluring and he
soon abandoned the footlights for the
brighter lights of the studio. His

and "Such a Little Queen" and in
"Wildflowers" with Marguerite

state from Spain.
With such an opinion has been handed down
to the commission, with Miami openly. declaring
its indifference Jacksonville tacitly acknowledge
ing its inability to with an international ex-
position, Tampa seems to be the only city IN the
state ready for the four-unit fair.
But in spite of the publicity, less spo-
radio which been given this plan by the Tampa
Tribune, by which it suggested, the interest
seems be 1ukewarm, and it is only in north and
west Florida that sentiment is keen for the great
fair
The attitude of Commissioner Logan, in advo-
eating unit fair, is acknowledgement that
Jacksonville is ready for great international
celebration, such would advertise this state,
build up this city and section and bring together
world.
Jacksonville will get the centennial for many
logical reasons, of the first of which is that
Jacksonville is not in position to finance the move
ment without recourse to state aid and has no
right aid, is the city in the state
which has already had lions share.
There are many reasons why Pensacola will get
the centennial But the chief of these is because
the financiers and business men of Pensacola are
back of the movement. When J. S. Reese of the
Citizens and Peoples Bank, and T.. X. Malone,
of the American National endorse movement,
it that that movement is no ephemeral
proposition but has a sound basis.
These two PensacoIans have given their en-
dorsement the movement from the beginning
but members Of the committee, went farther
than this at recent round table conference, and
one reservation that federal and state aid be Sc
cured. That goes without saying, state and
federal aid for the centennial will be necessary,
wherever is held.
With the leading bankers of West Florida
endorsing the centennial, practically every BUSH
ness firm in this section is lined solidly back
of the movement Which goes to show the faith
that Pensacola its environs has in the results to
be brought about by the great worlds fair, to be
held in this city in 1922.
The Kiwanians and Rotarians, the chamber of
commerce and merchants association, and pract-
cally every lodge and organization in this part of
the state is back Of the movement. 1t is
easy to see the million dollar centennial corpora
ton will be sold. if every one Of the business men
in these organizations take stock they have
practically pledged themselves to do.

BUILDING ACTIVITY IN THE SOUTH.

The construction of more buildings was begun in
Miami. Fla, in October than in any previous month
in the history of that city. The volume of build
ing in Miami in the first months of this year
exceeded by nearly 100000 value the total for
the best record for corresponding period in any
previous year, says the Industrial Index.
1t is stated that construction and repair work in
Charleston in the past twelve months have reached
almost the proportions of boom.
A great volume of construction is in progress in
Atlanta, the erection of number of substantial
structures being in progress others being def
inite1y planned for the immediate future.
In Columbus, Ga, contracts for additions to ex-
tensive cotton mill plants have been awarded at
costs that will run into the millions the erection of
several hundred residences for employees, well as
of mill buildings being included in the contracts.
