ADJUSTMENTS
MISS KINGSLEY
FASCINATING TESS

4CSStDCl NhlIuCls QuhCPtS hOyACh-
ish. untutored, romped over the
stage at the Augusta Opera House
for the first time yesterday. Tessi-
bel Skinner is the full name of the
title character in Tess Of the
Storm Country" which was given its
first presentations yesterday by the
Luttringer Stock Co. Big audiences
were in attendance and unless all
signs fail there will be not even
standing room today and Saturday.
Tess of the Storm Country" be
it known has been practically i'm
mortalized by Mary Pickford on the
screen. The play made Mary's
reputation, but no matter how good
she Is or was in the part. Miss, Ann
Kingsley Of the Luttringer Co. who
is now playing Tess" at the Opera
HOUSE Is just as good.
Most theatre-goers are familiar
with the story Of this Accordingly
interesting play. In brief it tells Of
Ssh poachers on the shores Of an
American lake. A fish warden is
murdered by Elias Graves and he
fastens the blame on Orn Skinner,
the father Of Tess. OF course Orn
is finally proven innocent. but before
this happens, there are some mighty
strong situations, some ripping good
lines and some decidedly delicious
comedy.
Comedy rules in the play, for the
dialogue fairly sparkles with humor.
material than can never be brought
out on the screen. The whole play
is SO interesting that one actual
ly hates to have it end.
All the members of the Luttringer
company have good roles. John
B. Whiteman was especially brought
O.. from New York to enact the
famous role Of Ben Let's and he
does a most capable job Of it. AL.
Luttringer gives an excellent por-
trayal of Frederick Graves, the min
lister and the others in the company
are right there" 1t is. after all,
Miss Kingsley who carries the bulk
Of the play on her tousled head and
ragged shoulders. Her portrayal Of
the part is perfect and nobody Won
ders that she has been immensely
successful in the characterization.
She is a pathetic little figure in
the rundown at-the heel settlement
where she lives. Even men can
hardly help weeping just bit and
then Miss Kingsley with her art
brings the smiles shining through
the tears to have her audience rock
with laughter the next minute.
Tess Of the Storm Country" gives
Miss Kingsley just the opportunity
for which her hundreds of friends in
the city have been waiting. 1t is very
easy to believe, therefore, why the
theatre will be packed for the rest
of the week.
For moving picture feature.
THE Wild Goose Chase" is offered
and it makes a most fitting compile
ment to the spoken play. 1t is tale
of the great frozen North and Hazel
Daily gives a most striking charac-
terization Of Margaret Sherwood, the
principal character. Much of the ac-
ton of the play takes place away
North where Eskimo and dogs are
the chief inhabitants. The scenery
depicted is of the truly startling kind
while the climaxes of the story are
as strong as the life Of the men in
that region live.

LLOYD GEORGE BEATEN
IN HOUSE OF COMMONS
Defeat Comes on the Government
PiIotage Provision of the
Alien Bill

London, Oct. 24.-The government
was defeated by majority of Y in a
vote in the houes Of commons ON an
amendment to the aliens bill.
BOnar Law immediately moved to
postpone further consideration. He
said the government must discuss the
defeat and decide what course it
should adopt. His motion was agreed
to. The house then adjourned until
Monday.
The vote by which the government
was defeated was 1876 to 113-
It is the first time that the coalition
government has been defeated with
the whips present. The reverse came
on the governments pilotage Of pro-
visions in the aliens bill in which it
is proposed to admit French pilots to
special consideration at British ports.
1t was minor matter, but involves
big principles. The government had
made convention with the French
granting such a privilege
Before the war; the granting Of such
privileges to aliens had made it pos
sible for German pilots to familiarize
themselves with British ports. The
new bill gave protection against repe-
tition of this state of things except in
respect of the French.
Sir John Rutherford, conservative
member, struck the keynote of the
sentiment of the house in saying:
"The time has come for clear-cut
conventions with France or any other
nation. It is time that we made up
our minds that no certificates shall
be- granted in the future to pilots I'M
less they are British-born subjects"
