Many Home Folks
Seen in rider
of King Log"

There are hundreds of points of
interest about the coming of 1.-THE
Rider of the King Log as the fea-
ture picture of big special program
at the Augusta Opera house for the
first three days of next week.
Nearly everyone knows the picture
is taken from Holman Days famous
book of the same name. was staged
in Maine and up and down the Ken
nebec, but not many realize the
number of we'll known people of this
section who are seen in the produc-
ton. Among them are Hon. Blaine
S. Viles, Power S. Mooney and
Stanley Hawkins, all of whom APP
pear as directors of the Great Tenn
iscouata Co. Then. too, in the scenes
on the Colby college campus, well
known Augusta girls, among those
shown are: Irene Goodrich, Beatrice
Straw, Marjorie Stafford. Helen
Thompson, Gretchen Messer, Hilda
Bangs and Betty Cooper.
The character of Kavanagh, or old
~. X, THE Rider of the King Log"
is one of the most virile and pictur-
esque characters, ever created by
that master story teller, Holman
Day as we'll as being one of the most
powerful figures in contemporary
fiction.
TX. K" is a powerful giant Of
man. enthroned as king in his little
realm of pine and spruce For years
he has developed his leases and
rights until. in the wilderness, has
grown the small town of Ste. Agathe,
peopled by Kavanagh's, own men
and their families.
Next to the love of his motherless
daughter is his love for his people.
and his possessions. While he is in.
tent on the education of his daughter.
profit-greedy corporation stealthily
surrounds his leases, usurps his river
rights and dams, and attempts to
throttle the activities of kavanagh
and ruin the little town of Ste.
Agathe.
Kavanagh's lone fight against the
powerful combination brings about
his death. but his fighting spirit is
passed on to his daughter, and the
manner in which she carried the bat
tie to a successful finish furnishes
the drama and romance IF the story.
But the presentation of 1.-THE
Rider of the King Log" is not the
only good thing on the program at
the Opera house. "Wings of the
Border" a two-reel feature that
takes whang at some of the great
corporate interests. is a truly thrill

ADJUSTMENTS
love FLOWER"
ANOTHER GREAT
GRIFFITH PLAY

David Wark Griffith has done it
again. In 1.-THE Love Flower" which
will be seen at the Augusta Opera
house today and Saturday, the pro-
Queer OF 1.-The Birth of a Nation"
Intolerance" and way Down East"
has demonstrated that his superior
in screen work has yet to appear in
the film world.
In 1.-The Love Flower" Griffith has
taken for his theme the love of a
daughter for her father, love that
would even have her plot her own
death to save him torment, he has
treated it with exquisite delicacy and
sureness and given it those mimi
table touches as only he can do,
making of the whole a matchless
product OF the screen and which
compares with greatest favor with
all of his former matchless screen
Stories.
Matchless revelations of beauty,
strength and excitement prevail in
this picture. 1t is an unusual sort of a
Griffith production, for it borders on
the melodramatic in which the mas
ter hand injects a wonderful deep
breathed romance of the out-of-
doors; happy, thrilling and delight
full, with scenes of quickening beau
ty and a gallery of scenic splendor.
1t is a story with strange and vi
brant spirit. taken from the Golfers
Weekly tale, BLACK Beach," by
Ralph Stock, done with that zest and
fascination of storytelling only Mr..
Griffith can provide.
Besides the wonders of his produce
ton, his players are particularly well
chosen and each adds distinction to
their previous screen work. Rich
ard Barthelmess, who has been so
popular in most of the last Griffith
productions is admirably cast as a
wealthy young plantation owner in
this production and adds new laurels
to his already won honors. Carol
Dempster. the daughter, whose love
for her father in the main thread Of
the plot is charmingly delightful, vi
vacious and spirited. Her daring,
her athletic ability, her charm, her
everything are admirable. Then, too.
there are George MacQuarrie, as
the father and Anders Randolph, as
the bounding detective, who are
both deserving of special mention.
In smaller parts. but with just as
much worth were others in the cast,
among them Florence Short Craw-
ford Kent and Adolphe Lestina.

cludes a two-reel comedy,."A Money
Mix-Up" and the Kineto Review

INCREASE THE SALARY
Wisconsin Legislators Poor
est Paid Servants of Any
State Body of Law Makers.

A resolution to raise the salary
of legislators to 81 500 has been
introduced in the state legisla-
ture by Senator q. F. Czerwin-
ski of Milwaukee. A constitu
tional amendment is necessary
to bring about the increase. The
present salary of $500 a term is
branded by legislators as "ridi-
culouslv low" and there is a de
termined movement on foot to
raise the salary and cut down
the length of the term to a point
where service will be made at
tractive and will draw the best
men. The attempt to increase
the legislator salaries. which
failed at a vote in the spring of
1920, was defeated. it is said.
because its adoption would have
given the legislature blanket au-
thority TO grant itself, without
limit. any salary. The bill intro
duced by Senator Czerwinski sets
the salary at 81, 500 a term with
no additional compensation tor
special sessions other than rail-
road fare.
