ADJUSTMENTS
REALCLASSIC
IS"DESPERATE
YOUTH" TODAY

A classic of contemporary Ameri-
can literature has been given life on
the screen in Desperate YOUTH"
with Gladys Walton as the star,
which will be the principal attraction
at the Colonial theatre today. The
story is taken from "a Kentucky Gin
derella," by F.. Hopkinson Smith.
Two old prospectors are seen as the
story opens, living and having con-
siderable joy in mountain shack.
With them is Rosemary Merridew,
daughter of one of them. Her father
is killed in a gun-battle and she is
sent to her aunt in Alabama, an ultra
gerated sense of her own aristocracy
and a desire to marry her own
daughter off to the richest young man
in town. Rosemary interferes with
this schedule. DR.. Tom Bowling, the
prospective son-in- law, becomes in
fatuated with her, thereby complicat-
ing the plot.
With delightful humor, good drama
and fidelity to Smiths popular story,
desperate Youth" is said to serve
Miss Walton as one of her best Uni
versal starring vehicles.
Another feature today will be the
appearance of Tom Santschi in an
other of his great two-reel attrac-
tons THE Imposter." The Outing

LOLA FISHER
HAS SOME VERY
DECIDED VIEWS

Lola Fisher charming co-star with
William Courtenay in Roi Cooper
Megrue's clever comedy, "Honors Are
Even" coming to the Opera House on
May the oath, has decided views on
all matters pertaining to her profess
sion. In fact, Miss Fisher is very
well informed on all topics and talks
intelligently on subjects quite foreign
to her art. Miss Fisher is a young
person with a brain and an urgent
desire to use it. Discussing publicity
as practiced in the present day and
age, Miss Fisher expressed herself as
follows:
THE idea of spreading broadcast
intimate items about the personal life
or an actor or actress is very dis
tasteful to me-" said Miss Fisher.
THE publicity that comes to one
through intelligent criticism of ones
work by the dramatic reviewer is an
entirely different matter That is the
highest type of exploitation-helpful
and constructive discussion of the
artists conception of a role-and is
not only entertaining and instructive
but is of great assistance to the actor
L believe, strongly, too, in the dis
terminating use of good photographs
But L think an actor or actress should
be permitted to censor every picture
used l have seen such hideous pic
lures of my friends, dear, pretty.
sweet girls, and have felt it very I'M
fair to give the public such an un-
Hattering impression of their appear
ance. Wholesale advertising of the
likes and dislikes of the actors, fake
stories of jewel robberies. which
thank heaven are now almost obso-
lete. rumored engagements and other
stories circulated at times by badly
advised directors, to me seems most
disillusioning and degrading. At best
it only satisfies a morbid curiosity
which should be discouraged Then
too, the public, nowadays, is a wise
little bird-it wags it's head knowing
ly and only believes what it feels like
anyway-so why waste time?"
Mail orders for "Honors Are Even"
are now being received.-Adv.

Next meeting Friday May A.
Standard Time

State Horticulturist Frank H. Dud-
ley says that the apple crop in Maine
for the year 1921 promises far better
than could have been expected, es-
pecially following the two nights last
week of such heavy frosts. Mr.
Dudley said:
THE reports from orchardists in
different parts of the State show that
u full crop of apples are in prospect.
This means that We may expect over
100000 bushels Of apples to be
harvested next fall.
I'VE have made extensive inquiries
by telephone in the various sections
and find hardly any injury to the
blossoms by the frost. The low lands
in Oxford county report small
amount of damage. We expected
that there would also be heavy dam
age in York county, but reports from
there say that although the Their
mometer went down to &c degrees,
the damage was triff1ing. Up in
pittsfield the frost was heavy but
heavy fog prevented it from doing
much injury.

tomorrow night there will be many
theatre parties in the capacity audi

several years since Augusta has been
privileged to see a musical comedy

years is coming. Last week, the JEFF
ferson theatre in Portland was
crowded during the stay of the pro-
duction, which is now in it's second
triumphal year in New York and is
being seen with the same success by
American companies in London, Eng
land and Melbourne, Australia.
More than a million people have
seen Irene" during it's long run in
the metropolis, and as the population
of the big city is most cosmopolitan,
and the theatres there are filled with
audiences composed of persons from
all parts of the civilized world, the
fame of Irene" has spread every
where. Every music store window
displays songs from Irene" Every
monograph dealer plays the Irene"
records; it's tunes are whistled and
sung from one end of the country to
the other. Even the mems clothes
