ADJUSTMENTS
William Farnum
Comes Today in
The Adventurer'

1t isn't necessary to say that Will
liam Farnum will be good in The
Adventurer," the William Fox pro-
duction in which he will be seen at
the Augusta; Opera house today and
Saturday. He will be more than
good for never yet has he failed to
present a play that for .virility and in
'terest has not held his audience to
the last flicker of the picture. Then.
ZOO. the Opera house program will
offer other attractions. for there will
be news and comedy on the program.
In THE Adventurer.' one of the
most exciting. features is the scene
wherein Farnum is called on to show
his skill as a swordsman. Without
any doubt. this is. one of the best
duelling scenes ever thrown on the
screen in Augusta. Farnum is a per-
feet. swordsman and the skill with
which he handles his weapon in THE
ADVENTURE. would alone make the
picture successful.
The story is strong one. and Far
mum never was more happily cast
Few actors can display the versatility
of this star. whose every act is one Of
studied and dignified art. He plays
with abandon and with restraint. and
in each instance he is really Don
Caesar de Brazen and mot William
.Earnum.- He has given us the most
perfect screen picture that We have
seen; and it is an undiluted joy to
see an actor who so completely sinks
himself in the part he is playing.
What is true of the star is true in
considerable degree of his support.
Esteile Taylor. who makes her screen
debut in this feature, is an attractive
leading woman and a clever actress.
She has interpreted the role Of the
gypsy with excellent judgment. Paul
Cazaneuve. Dorothy Drake. Harry
Southard and the rest of the cast
give consistently good performances.

MRS. COOLIDGE HAS
DREAD OF CAPITAL
Vice Presidential Candidates
Wife Awed by Possibility Of
Social Life Here.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. l6.-Mrs.
Calvin Coolidge, wife of the Governor
Of Massachusetts,. and Republican
Vice Presidential nominee, frankly ad-
mits she is inclined to dread the idea
OF going TO Washington and entering
its social life. as she realizes she
must II her husband triumphs at the
polls. Mrs. Coolidge Is distinctly a
home body. She lives only for her
husband and their two boys.
Mrs. Coolidge is such a home body
that even TO this day she knits all the
winter stockings for her boys also
their sweaters, scarfs, etc, and they
like them SO well that although they
are the Governors sons and thirteen
and twelve years old, they will have
no other.
Mrs Cool sise admitted she was'a
bit surprised that people should think
il unusual that she should let her
husband select her clothes. She says
he has done II ever since they were
married. He not only selects her
dresses, gowns and wraps. but hats
and shoes as well. Whenever he sees
something he thinks Mrs Coolidge
would like they go together to look
IL over.
When II comes to the possibility OF
leaving her Northampton home and
going TO Washington, Mrs. Coolidge
Is not thinking of herself alone. She
is thinking fully as much OF her boys
and their great Joy in home life. They
dread the change fully as much as
their mother. They realize IL means
parting with boyhood friends and all
the surroundings OF boyhood days.
