ADJUSTMENTS
male and Female"
Greatest of All
DeMille's Plays

Augusta people are to have the
privilege today and tomorrow-and
it is privilege-of seeing Cecil B.
DeMille's great photoplay Male and
Female" which will be given only
four showings at the Opera house.
The piay-lovers of the Capital have
been waiting for the appearance of
this picture and now it is here.
Manager Appleby of the Augusta
theatres was forced to pay out big
sum for the production, but he feels
it is worth it.
Male and Female" represents the
contamination of De Miles long ex-
perience with all kinds of stage and
screen productions. 1t is the finest
fruit of years of artistic presentation.
Male and Female" combine the
righteousness of Don't Change Your
Husband" with the spectacular beau
ty of 1.-THE Woman God Forgot" and
the dramatic strength of THE Wits
pering Chorus" The opening scenes,
in the London home of Lady Mary,
are the last word in luxury. Mr.. De
Mile has spent money on his pic
lures before, but it is doubtful if he
has ever spent so much, and so eff
fectively. as in these scenes. Gloria
Swanson has more wonderful gowns
than ever, and the settings, down to
the tiniest detail, are in keeping with
the stored characters

Meighan, who plays Crichton, is the
King in this episode. Gloria Swan

barbaric splendor of the Babylonian
costumes, is the untamed slave. In
the end she is thrown to the lions

AS everyone knows, j. NJ. Barrie
wrote the play. "The Admirable
Crichton," from which Male and
Female" is adapted. Sir James is
one of the last authors to allow his
work to be filmed. He held off for a
long while. but finally allowed Dc
Mile to try his hand. When the
author sees this he will not be dis
appointed. The dramatic strength
of his play, and it's deep and keen
Characterization are enriched by the
presentation De Mile has given it.
The story has not been changed in
the least.
The cast headed by Thomas Mel
CHAN, who duplicates his excellent
work in ''Thc Miracle Man." and
Gloria Swanson is uniformly eyceI
lent. Theodore Roberts, Lila Lee,
Raymond Hatton, Maym Kelso, Rob
ert Caine and Edward Burns are
some of the big names in it. Jeanne
Macpherson wrote the scenario.
We spoke of 1.-THE Miracle Man"
in the last paragraph. Let us say
that THE Miracle Man" is the only
picture in memory with which MALE
and Female" can be compared

The State Park Commission met on

The State Park Commission met on
Wednesday afternoon and organized,
after the two new members OF the
commission-Horace E. Bowditch Of
Augusta and Charles S.. Brown OF
Bath-had been sworn in. The or
ganization was completed with the
election of Lewis A. Burleigh Of Au-
gusta as chairman and Horace r.
Bowditch Of Augusta as secretary.
Messrs. Burleigh and Bowditch
will meet in Boston Friday morning
and together will have a conference
with the Metropolitan Park Commits
sioners and inspect some OF the parks
of Boston and vicinity, with a view
Of obtaining ideas for the develop
ment of the State park in Augusta,
the beautiful tract of land between
the State House and the river, Tor
which the Legislature in 1919 made
an appropriation that will do much
toward placing it in the condition it
should present to the public. They
will also probably consult a land
scape gardener in Portland, who may
be asked to come here and look at
the prospect, with a view Of prepar-
ing plans for identifying it.
The commissioners are united on
one point: That it will be wise to
put into proper shape the advantages
now at hand, ie., trim the 100 trees
on the park, clear away the under
growth and make more presentable

the country. For five years, now,
she has been appearing in pictures,
but the biggest of all her produc-
tons is Judy of Rogues' Harbor."
Rarely has there been story that
could compare in gripping interest
with this production. Telling as it
does of Il little ragged girl who is
making her home with a man she
supposes is her grandfather, it
touches the heart right from the
start Several themes are cleverly
presented and they are so intimate
ly interviewer that there is no de-
traction of interest and no incongru-
ity in the development of plot. Miss
Minter, because of her Winsome
beauty and consummatc skill, fairly
charms an audience. AS conVinc-
ing demonstration of real histrionc
ability as well as an entertainment.
Judy of Rogues' Harbor" stands in
a class by itself.
In lighter vein on the screen at the
Colonial today will be given Light
Hearts and Leaking Pipes" a new
Century comedy. The first Univer-
sal Screen Supplement will also be
shown and this will present some of
the most important happenings of
the world in motion picture form.
Kilograms will also be given.-Adv.

Mary Miles Minter
Has a Wonderful
Role as "Judy"

All patrons of the Colonial remem-
Der the great work done by Mary
Miles Minter in her first Realart pic
ture Ann of Green Gables" which
was presented here several weeks
ago. Today, this talented and beau
tiful young star will be seen in her
second Realart production, Judy of
Rogues' Harbor" which is an even
more thrilling and absorbing play
than "Ann.'
For many years, the name of Mary
Miles Minter has been before the
public, and yet for all that she is but
IS years old. Starting her life on the
stage even before some children are
through going to school, the star
rose rapidly. To the average thea
tre-goer, she has been best known
because Of her work in "The Littlest
Rebel in which she fairly astounded

advisable for elderly people. They
