Grand Portrayal of
Shepherd of the Hills"

The many people who attended the
Augusta Opera house yesterday were
astonished and delighted at the won
derful way in which Harold Bell
Wright's great American novel. THE
Shepherd Of the Hills" has been pre-
pared for the screen. Shown in ten
reels with the most beautiful Of
photography and company Of play
ers Of the finest ability, it is an en-
tertainment that is like nothing seen
in Augusta for a long time.
"Old Matt" and Young Matt"
Sammy Lane and the gentle Shep-
herd of the Hills and all the big
hearted mountain folks who were SO
realistically portrayed in the novel
live again in the perturbation which
has been made by the author Of the
book himself
In filming this work, Mr. Wright
has had wealth OF rich material
from which to make his picture and
the result has been work OF art in
the field Of motion pictures. A sim
pie love story, typically American,
the scenes are set in the Ozark
Mountains Of Missouri to which re-
gion comes a world weary man who
finds there a deep sorrow left by his
long-lost son. In his endeavor to
atone for this sons actions he gains
the title Of THE Shepherd Of the
Hills" The scenic background for
this simple story presents a series Of
pictures dazzling in their grandeur
and depicting faithfully the marve-
lous beauty OF these hills Of South
western Missouri
The story is filed with dramatic
situations and scenically the magni-
tude of Gods own handiwork is ever
before us. The woods and the hills
man and in this play the really great
things of life are brought to our I'M
derstanding as clear as the water
from the mountain springs which are
ever before our eyes. 1t is the visu-
alization Of the story Of the Ozark
mountains and their humble dwellers.

roads: the period Of "huskin' bees"
and house raisin." Rough and
ready settlement Of disputes with the

that carries with 1t a deep message
1t is full Of wholesome philosophy
and has many unique characters.
Through it all runs a sentiment of
buoyant optimism and sturdy faith
in the finer qualities OF human ma
ture that is splendidly inspiring in
its effect. So simple in outline, yet
so true to the rugged but sincere hu-

intimately with the homely lives Of
the Ozark dwellers when luxury was
unknown and when the rough, hard
work Of pioneer existence was met
with fortitude and industry. In its
heart warming fashion 1t tells Of the
stranger who comes to the little COM
munity from a more pretentious life
and how from n simple tender of
sheep, he becomes shepherd Of
men. With such splendid subject

WHERE THE SUN SHINES" BY
Gertrude Capen whitney. Boston: The
Christopher Publishing House.
This small volume chooses as
it's chief character a moon prince
who is banished by his father.
the luminary of the night. from
his realms for disobedience. The
boy goes wonderingly to earth,
the tiny cells of his brain growing
gradually, discovering to his sur
prise that in his former home he
had been seeing upside down" In
time he learns his lesson and it
develops that the story is parable
of the eternal struggle between the
forces of good and evil.
Notwithstanding the statement
printed on the jacket of the book,
it is hardly possible that the story
will appeal equally to the imagi-
nation of childhood and the expert
ence of age, for the juvenile mind
in search of a fairy tale may find
it's wholesome parable lost. Neither
is the average reader likely to
agree to the claim that the work
"will place the writer still more
firmly in alignment with such
writer's as Charles Kingsley, ]. NJ.

In acting for himself instead OF al
lowing the young poet to act for
him he was actuated more by
feeling of pride of family than
for real regard for the boy.
The little affair viewed with such
foreboding by Severe came to- pass
as easily as a chance meeting on
the street. Julian and his brother
were the first to arrive-the rays OF
the sun were already getting low
in the West: next arrived a doctor
with an assistant, and lastly Al
varez with his seconds and doctors.
The adversaries had nothing to
say; in silence they faced each other
after each had stripped on his coat;
in silence they lunged and parried,
moving about a small circle and
hearing no sound save the clash OF
steel blades.
Julian was the older man and the
less active; the exertion began to
tell. Alvarez surveyed him sneer-
ingly, keeping his eye as good
fencer should steadily on him.
Julian's point dropped for an In
