by Beulah Poynter, it tells the simple,
sweet romance of two old maids who
lived in a small town and squeezed
out living in hats. In millinery
they set the style. Then wealth
came to them suddenly and unex-
pectedly. They went in search of
youth and love, and gaiety and ad-
venture. 1t was veritable miracle
that money performed for these
young hearts in old bodies AS a
character study, as a story filled with
humor and pathos and genuine hu-
man interest there has never been
anything ever given in Augusta that
could surpass this production.
For IA weeks, the patrons of the
Colonial have been following the
stirring action of The Lost City"
Today the last episode will be pre-
sented with the coming of Stanley
Morton to the Lost City. The end
ing is said to be as thrilling as it is
happy.
