CRITICISM ON A GOOD

The best show in the history of the

best show of its kind that ever visited

company seemed to be a real artist.
The costumes were new and fine and
the scenery was wonderful Besides
the splendid presentation of the mu-
steal comedy there was that element
which makes a good show of any well
presented performance, namely a
large and appreciative audience. The
management of the auditorium de-
serves commentator for bringing to
the Richland county public show of
such quality and it should be cri-
terion for them TO be guided by, for it
should reveal to them most emphati-
cally that shows of that class, even
though produced at rather lengthy in
tervals are much more satisfactory
than would-be numerous shows of
more inferior haracter-Rustic.

POST SAYS GRIFFITH
 FILM MASTER DRAMA

D. W. Griffith has produced thing of rare and haunting charm in his latest picture, Broken Blossoms" shown last night for the first time at the George M Conan Theatre. It is the initial offering of his repertory season. If there are more to come lil-e it discriminating devotees of the film have something to look forward to. For whatever that much abused word, art, may have come to mean or come not to mean by much applica- tion, Broken Blossoms" has certainly q strong claim on it in it's prime sig nlficance. First, because of the deli cacy and directness with which the pathetic, horrible, exquisite story has been adapted for the screen; second, for the acting of Lillian Gish and Richard Barthelmess; third, for the photography, which has caught a lea, tiful eject throughout the whole piece.
 Tho picture has been taken from "The Chink and the Child" the first of the "Limchousc Nights stories by Thomas Burke. It's scenes are laid in the dim lit alleys of the London "Chinatown," where the girl, "hl Lucia" twelve dears old, having been beaten almost to death by her father, the prizefghter, Battling Burrows, is taken in and cared for by Cheng Haun, a young Chinaman.
