Covington, Ga., Apr1l o.-Ihe

The state has summoned score
of witnesses by whom it expects to
support the story of Clyde Manning
negro farm boss, who declared, ac-
cording Of deputies that he took
part in the wholesale killing on or
der of Williams but Manning him
self was expected to be the chief
reliance Of the prosecution. Manning
is slated to be tried as soon as the
first trial Of Williams IS completed.
Since his first categorical denial
Of all the charges Of peonage and
murder on being. arrested Williams
has maintained silence and his at
torneys tonight " continued to veil
their plans in secret. Not even the
number of witnesses summoned for
the defense was made public, and
report that the defense is to spring
a surprise during the trial brought
no comment from the attorneys.
Solicitor A. M. Brand will be
aided during the trial by W. M. How

Mack Sennett Has
Cleaned House For
Serious Drama

Seismic changes are taking place
in the Mack Sennett studio organi-
ration. Charlie Murray has terminat-
ed his long period of service, the
reason assigned being that Sennett's
plans for big dramatic productions
leave no immediate uses to which
the talents OF the genial Charlie can
be put. The parting was reluctant
on both sides, though Mr.. Murray's
announcement Of several months ago
that he contemplated a vaudeville
tour in the near future, rob the in
cident Of the element Of surprise.
In the disturbance that witnessed
the mutually deplored departure OF
Mr.. Murray following an eight-year
service under the Sennett banner,
there is to be noted also the de-
parture to other spheres Of comedy
activity Of James Finlaysoo aad Kalla
Pasha. Mr.. Finlayson will be re-
membered as the Rab in Graham
Moffatt's "Bunty Pulls the Strings,
playing the role during the entire
Broadway run of the quaint comedy.
Kalla Pasha has been the recipient OF
the knocks, bumps and wallops that
are some Of the subtle manifestations
of a certain type of dramatic Offer
ing in which Kalla Pasha's might
IS a valuable asset.
How seriously Mr.. Sennett is con-
templating his invasion OF serious
drama may be inferred from the list
Of recent departures from the Sem
nett lot. First, Ford Sterling, tnen
Louise Fazenda, then John Henry,
jr, Teddy the great Dane, then Ma
rie Provost and now Charlie Murray,
James Finlayson and Kalla Pasha.
In their places there have come
into the studio Ethel Grey Terry,
Herbert Standing, Noah Beery and
Ben Deeiy to participate in the MAX
ing OF serious picture drama, and Ma
bel Normand, Jack Mulhall, Lowell
Sherman, Jacqueline Logan and 9TH
er notables to participate in the stef-
lar vehicles of Miss Normand, be-
ginning with Molly o."
Mr.. Sennett will not abandon the
comedy field, however. He has just
elevated Ben Turpin to starship and
will produce series Of Ben Turpin
specials-two-reel productions of
typical Sennett hilarity. Billy Bevan
viii also be featured in comedy
roles.
"My purpose" says Mack Sennett,
''in taking up the production OF Sc
rious drama is to realize long
cherished ambition which the success
Of 'Heartbalm' justifies US IN believ-
ing we can render permanent Our
comedy activities will represent
about 50 per cent of the total Of cur
energies and the other half will be
devoted in time money and equip
ment. to make the best dramatic pre-
sentations that the best available tai
ent can provide"

1t is natural that the stage and the
screen. the two places where the
things Of romance and illusion are
spun for the delight Of millions,
should easily be transferred to the
principal characters themselves; that
the great public should think OF the
stars as different beings, living dou-
bic lives, able to do things that the
average, man or woman only dreams
of doing without hoping to achieve.
So many splurges Of press-agent-
ing, 50 many sobstories, highly-col-
ored and overcharged, have been per.
petrated, that the public supposes

What Sennet Saws

Mack Sennett says the motion pic
ture public isn't any respector OF
persons; that it looks for results.
''Giye it what It wants." he says,
and the public will find its way to
an isolated cinema theater to patron
ize its preferred pictures. Offer i,
what the public does not want and
it makes no difference who wrote,
who adapted and produced it, the
public will stay away. 1t isn't like
the book-buying public, taking their
cue as to what to purchase from
the name Of the man who pro-
vides it. If Mr.. Griffith undertook
to create gay comedy the public
would reward him as literally as it
would any other producer, provided
Mr.. Griffith made good comedies"
