EUGENE KNOX, REDPATH
IMpERSONATOR, COMING

The second number of the Redpath
Lyceum Course for the winter season
of 1921-22 at Reynolds Theatre will
be by Eugene Knox, character inn.
personator 1t is said of Mr.. Knox
that he is genius-that he attempts
difficult and trying representations
with a degree of intimacy and assur-
ance possible only with man of the
highest human intelligence and
skill. The following introduction in
dicates the scope and nature of his
work:
He has succeeded because he
pleases-he plesses because his char
acters are represented true to life.
He uses no makeup, yet his imper-
sonations are fully as striking with
out it.
His chGnges are instantaneous.
and in this respect truly wonderful.
Mr.. Knox not only attempts diff
ficult character work, but every at
titude, every face is so different that
one can scarcely find trace of sim
ilarity. He loses himself completely
in his work.
His programs are largely humor-
Gus, but one cannot say that it is
alone in this phase that he excels.
He is equally powerful when inter-
preting the strongly dramatic num-
bers.
He feels and makes you feel with
him each passion, each Joy, each
sorrow the author has written down.
Mr.. Knox has given over thirty
five hundred entertainments and his
appearance in Union City will be at

HOUSE WARMING To
MOTLOW MILLING co,
Public Demonstration of Citizens
When Mills Begin to Run.

Representative business men OF
Union iCty gathered at the Motlow
corn mill Monday morning, following
the first whistle blast indicating the
return of activities of the corn
and wheat mills in Union City, as a
public testimonial of the apprecia-
ton and esteem of the men who have
taken control of these mills and
for the Identification of their indi-
vidual interests with the people of
Union City and Obion County.
Senator d. p. Caldwell spoke in
behalf of the citizens, extending as
surances of welcome and good will on
the part of the people of Obion Coun-
ty, pledging community spirit and
cooperation at all times with the
splendid enterprise which has been
for so many years valuable aid to
the agricultural and industrial in
terests of the city and county.
At the close of the speech the mill
whistles and those of every other
plant in the city joined in the dem
onstration-a general signal of re-
joicing.
Mr.. Reagor Motlow responded to
the address of Mr.. Caldwell to the
effect that he appreciated the very
kind and cordial welcome that had
been extended to him and his associ-
ates in the management Of the mills.
He felt that he would be serving his
best interests by first establishing
cordial and mutual relations with
the people of Obion County and ter
ritory nearby, and therefore it is a
great pleasure indeed to have pub
lie manifestation of friendly feeling
in greetings such as are exhibited on
this occasion.
Mr.. w. M. Warterfield, general
manager of the Motlow mills, was
heard next in a Enthusiastically
sincere and sensible talk, stating that
while every effort would be made by
Mr.. Motlow and the management to-
preserve the best standards of pro-
duction and business integrity, it
was indeed encouraging and stimu-
lating to redoubled efforts to have
the personal and public Endorsement
of these citizens.
Mr.. w. w. Cowden, who is also re-
sponsible in large measure for the
resumption of mill life in Union City
and for inducing these fine people to
locate and invest their means in
Obion County, assured us that they
had always kept their pledges-they
were men of their word and we would
have no regrets that the mills had
fallen into present hands.
Nearly every business house in
Union City was represented and the
meeting was in all respects popular
demonstration.
