So for two acts does Benavente la
boriously prepare his background OF
spanish customs, spanish bcenery,
spanish men and Spanish women. But
when the denouement comes in that
third act. with all the suddenness
OF a summer thunder shower, Ii might
as well have come amid classical
Greek scenes to those walking with
the gods.
Something must come OF all these
doubts, these suspicious. Why was
not Acacia examined by the mag
istrate? Why was she not asked
what she knew of the untimely death
OF her lover. Faustlno? Did Norbert
really go away far from the scene
OF the staying? Why did Rubio,
Esteban's servant. spend so much
money In the wine shops? And what
did he hint at when intoxicated? And
why did Esteban buffet him and

then came the song. La Malquerida,"
to be sung and bantered about the
village.
Thus reigns this awful tumult in
the mothers heart of Raimunda. She
grieves for Faustino's mother. for his
father. She mourns for the suspected
Norbert. over and over and over
again she ponders on the crime, seek
ing a solution. And ever before her
blinded eyes is the ever-present trag-

Acacia, her daughter.
But suddenly Rainmunda awakes.
She cannot believe her own ears, her
own eyes. That this Acacia should
harbor such awful hate for Esteban
is overwhelming. Raimunda demands
that her daughter go to- Esteban.

Raimunda has heard Esteban's

She has pardoned him. balancing his
good points with the bad, trying in
her own heart to find palliation. She
would now drive the devil Of hate
from Acacia's heart
And so comes the tragic ending of
this powerful drama. There before

COMEDY PREDOMINATES
ON B. F. KEITHS BILL
Pearl Regay Foremost Star OF a
Program OF Stars.

From the nrst act on the bill at
Keith's this week until the last
there Is not a dull moment Comedy
Is the predominant feature OF the
program, with enough music to bal
ance any vaudeville entertainment
Like every weeks vaudeville there
was a headliner. but to md out who
1t was one had TO look for the name
on the electric sign In front of the
house. From the audience point Of
view there were about six star acts.
Probably Pearl Regay was the
foremost star, because she was on
the stage longer than any other act
and she received the most applause.
Assisted by Roy Sheldon and a jazz
orchestra of fve she sang and
danced and did acrobatic stunts. Her
dancing was graceful and her cos
tunes fetching.
Homer b. Mason and Marguerite
Keller presented farce that had
unexpected situations almost every
minute and kept the audience in
good humor. Ed Gallagher and Joe
Rolley, presented a comedy skit that
served to exploit good negro comedy
and music.
Bostock's Riding School showed
how circus riding Is done and the
audience was asked to qualify as
bareback riders. Some of them tried
much to the amusement of the
others. Colin O'More sang several
irish airs.
Pressler and Kiaiss presented a
novelty comedy and music act, Ber-
nard and Gary syncopated several
songs, and Ralph Lohse and Mana
Sterling took chances at breaking
their necks on a trapeze.
Topics of the day and kinograms
completed the excellent bill.

THE CAST

This play. known to millions or
people, is the story OF girls betray-
al by mock-marriage. her shame and
privations. and eventual rise through
a sea OF troubles to happiness as the
wife OF a true man. Given these rude
emotional forces. David Wark Grif-
nth. artist and alchemist. has pre-
scented a screen portrayal that Is no
less than the Puritan epic.
We who today witness the first
steps of an infant art are too close
to Griffith TO view him in his proper
perspective. One hundred years from
now, when the cinema has reached
heaven knows what heights, posterity
will look upon David Wark Griffith
as the early master of a great art. We
like to fancy that students will an
alyze "Way Down East" much as
men OF erudltion today expound the
folios and quartos OF Elizabethan
drama.
1t would be fascinating to conjec-
ture what their verdict will be. We
can picture some professor, his spec
tacles cleaning with literary rap
ture, saying to his classes:
young gentlemen, detrimental
though ii may be to the host OF
cinema producers OF the Twenty-first
Century. must admit that no one
has reached greater heights than
David Wark Griffith. the earliest
master. Notwithstanding our marvel
Gus improvements in photography and
projection, none has known so well
as he the proper balance OF rest and
action. None has known the art of
compelling the human emotions to
respond to the images and illusions
OF the screen as he has.
I'VE will now proceed to the
dark room, where we are to view
his Way Down East filmed 100
years ago. Please note that for
force and compelling
Illusions, II has never been bettered."
We think that one of the deftest
compliments that can be paid Crit
fifth Is the fact that he uses Miss
Lillian Gish as the center OF his
greatest play. She hasn't. possibly.
a single external asset that carries
her above a fair standard Of ex-
cellence. Lillian Gish would never
carry away honors in a screen con-
test" and dressed for every day she
would hardly earn second look
from a casual stranger. Every atom
OF her force Is drawn from within.
every gesture is spiritual, every spell
she casts is one from the innermost
sources. Her hands can be as potent
and appealing as her eyes. Her
walk Is the despair of rivals. Miss
Gish is Incompatible. She is the
of art.
We often wonder whether Gish
made Griffith or Griffith made Gish.
Perhaps the two are correlated in

Town Buys a Chemical Fire En-.
CINE. @

The Board of trustees of the town OF
Columbia have had for sometime un-
der consideration the purchasing of
fire engine in order that the town
might have protection. On account
of the lack of funds the matter had
been delay ed, but last week, after the
fire upon the square, the Board was
stimulated and readily saw the nee
essity of purchasing an engine and
apparatus, and announced that it was
ready to 90 what it could to that end.
Therefore, it stated that if the citi.
zens OF the community would pay one
thousand dollars, the Board would do
the rest. The Fire MARSHAL was here
and took an interest in the town pur.
chasing protection. In few minutes
subscription was started, and suffi-
Gent sum raised to justify the Board
to order an apparatus which is to cost
$4,000.
A sufficient sum has not been sub
scribed yet, and Mr.. G. R. Reed and
Mr.. G. N, Stevenson we're appointed
by the Board to receive subscriptions.
Every home in Columbia should readi-
ly subscribe to this much needed pur-
chase. 1t will not only be protec-
Uior in the event of fire, but will low
er insurance rates. The largest
amount of the money now subscribed
was paid in by the business men on
the square. Residences burn as well
as store houses, therefore, every family
in Columbia should not Hesitate to
hand in a subscription.
Mr.. Reed with what assistance he
may take, was appointed to select a
a ire company of ten men who will be
in charge Of the apparatus, and he
will also select ten reserve men, max
ing twenty in all, ten to be active at
all times. When the machine arrives
these men will go into training and
will practice until they are perfect in
all the details of management.
Our people certainly feel glad that
this step has been taken, as it will in
all probability, in course of time, save
this town and its citizerS thousands
of dollars.
When the company is ready fol
practice, the State Fire Marshal viii
come to Columbia, give instructions
and drill the boys. The company will
elect, or he will be appointed by thu
Board, a Chief of the Fire Depart
ment.
The News endorses this action o
the Board, believing that it actet
wisely in purchasing the apparatus.
